Hey VvLuvFunk:

why don't you start collecting and BUYING the official Prince albums.

If you had The Gold Experience cd, you would KNOW.

There's a pic of the stage on the inside that cd case.....

And thedance should realize how hard it is to build a Prince collection when many of the albums are out of print.

yah, especially for those of us who know as much as all of you and can discuss the imagery around songs like dolphin, Anna stesia. But weren't lucky enough to experience that amazing time. Because we weren't blessed enough to be born until after that.

here's my answer to LittlepurpleYoda, JonyLawson, Dewrede and others... wink

Imo vvLuvFunk's threads are just a little irritating sometimes/ most of the time... she (he?) sounds like a newbie to me - often asking some very silly ?'s. Maybe I am irritated by this because I find the answers so obvious...

But ok, I was maybe a little hard and was maybe overreacting in my first answer here - I just got a little irritated, once again.

however: I have answered the question asked by vvLuvFunk nevertheless, posting 2 pics... that's more than what you guys did.. wink

to my surprise it was/ is hard finding pics with Prince playing live on that stage.

now..... just move on.... biggrin

Here's what a bad businessman Prince is. He should have set up the stage at Paisley, had a special Gold album release concert/party at a hundred dollars a pop. He does the whole album, other songs, puts it out on video, broadcast parts of it on BET, MTV, VH1. It would have helped the album and the stage prices. duh.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

There's this 1995 SKY magazine (I really have to dig it from in the basement) which describes The Endorphin Machine... and I remember it vividly from the live show back then as well:
at some times during the show he - that skinny muthaf*cka with the high voice - went in it, where there was a DJ boot and he would mix some sounds or start another loop and he would come out and the whole NPG would join that new tune.

When you listen back (...) to these shows and consider that era where he would hardly touch an old song (except for Eye Love In Me and such) he was digging up all new material or at least songs from that couple of years. He had so much new material and ideas going on. All in that Organic Temple called The Endorphin Machine...

I'm not sure if there was even a bed in it. Mighty Mayte didn't tell me. biggrin

I will for that article. Might as well be the Q magazine...

Later!

What do you mean it's not in the computer?
