I have the Small Club and ChickenGrease bootlegs, both which contain great versions of Just My Imagination.

What I was wondering, is in the BBC Prince Documentary from the early 90s, there's a clip of Prince rehearsing for a tour, and he's playing an absolutely amazing, albiet somber and dreamy, version of this song. Does anyone know if the complete copy of this performance exists on boot anywhere?

If we are talking about the same song, that the first song I learn to play on my guitar, but never heard Prince version, yet I bet it's nice

don,t know about that.there is a boot called sex machine which has a dreamer version on it. sign o the times era.

i have a double vinyl lp with prince on the cover in his "scandalous" video red suit. it has a killer version of this song.

I love that sex machine bootleg version!!! specially when the audience joins in at the end! When and where was that concert?

Thats the FIRST time i heard him (or anyone) do that song and i fell in love with it.

I have collected almost every Lovesexy era afershow bootlegs JUST for a similar version of that...they're all great but nothing matches that rehearsal.

i would Kill, or maim for a full copy (video or audio) of that rehearsal, with the Ladder also.

Any info?

i dont have the sex machine verison but off the top of my head my fave versions are:

Le New Morning Paris 1987
Roseland New York 1988
Trojan Horse Holland 88 (Small Club)
Camden Palace London 1988


The best and sexiest has to be Paris 1987
