Prince and Miles Davis New Year Eve's Performance

I was watching the performance, and it seemed like Miles was upset at Prince.

Miles kept stoping and giving Prince a look.

yeah, miles wasn't happy as prince was confusing the fuck out of him by getting the band to play notes like "2 times" etc and using hand cues that miles didn't know. that's why miles walked off the stage after 5 minutes

Did they speak after that?

Maybe you listened to Miles' record ESP once, and it gave you the power to read his mind, else how would you know exactly what he was thinking?

i dunno, i don't think it was an interview as such. you know he's just a regular guy and you can talk to him about stuff and he'll answer you. he has great stories to tell. he told me that to his knowledge prince had never recorded an album with miles, even though prince was making out that he did, and that as far as he knew it was just sticky wicked and can i play with you that exist as studio works with them both on it
