Is there a live version of "When we're dancing close and slow" out there, anywhere? I've been looking online and haven't been able to come up with anything. I'm just very curious as to how he sounds singing this live! Or did Prince never play this song live?! Answers are appreciated - i'll continue looking if it's actually out there!

- Update - I just found 1! but it's not really good. It's from a live show last year played with Andy Allo (It looked like her atleast...) and he sang only 1 line. Any others?

do u know the date in which he played it ?

I know he performed it a few times on the recent W2a tour... Saw him perform it with Cassandra Wilson in Los Angeles... Amazing.

I know he performed it at North sea Jazz & in Melkweg with Andy Allo too...

There are recordings of these out ther if UR resourceful...

It was a part of the June 7, 1984 show rehearsal. Purple Rush Volume 3.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! I just tried looking for anything online and 5 or so minutes in, absolutely nothing. I'll be super happy when/if I find anything online to listen to it!

If you search on PrinceVault for a song, it indicates on the song page when it has been performed live:

http://www.princevault.co...e_And_Slow

First live appearance: 9 December 1982: Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, IL, USA

Peformed regularly on tour: None

Performed occasionally in shows: 1982, 2010 (guesting with Cassandra Wilson), 2011

OT- I just used the PrinceVault to see if It's Gonna Be Lonely was ever performed live and this is what it said:

This track is not believed to have been performed live by Prince.

He did perform it live last year at an aftershow, duet with Andy;

i LOVE it. it's very long, mostly piano and percurssion, the 'ooh ooh ooh oh oh' at the end is lovely. He changed 'sex-related fantasy' to 'a million crazy fantasies', though. ¬¬

But overall, I love it.
