Nice bluesy, funky song 
The version on the Aladdin DVD is great too. This song is starting to become a fav of mine-Prince's guitar work on here is superb 
Ur Opinions?agree! i love this version with all of my body (including my pee pee) Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit. An iphone is top shelf technology. Get it straight. This thing is 4g. -Wall the great | |

There's a segment if the guitar solo that KILLS me. It sound like its doing "heavy lifting"...the line lifts at somethin, pauses and starts over, trys again, and starts over, trys yet again, and starts, then the run triumphs and runs, and holds what it was trying to lift high over its head. It happens right around 2:55 to about 3:05...and again....the second try....from 3:45 to 4:00...
It's like he's trying to lift the girl he's boning to flip her over/mover her to a different position, and the first time it works, cuz she in the middle if an orgasm and has the adrenaline to help....the second try sounds more difficult, as if the girl is spent from the orgasm and doesn't have it in herself to help much, if at all.

nice to see you mention the aladin dvd version of this song
after watching that dvd and being totally disappointed, the bonus of The Ride was very welcome. by far my favorit of that dvd.
he changed it up quite a bit on the ONA tour, varying from a 4 minute to an over 10 minute version with different style guitarsolo's every time.
out of all the many versions/performances of this song there is hardly any that i don't like. it remains a great, great track.
even the undertaker version, which i pretty much consider the original studio version, is superb. it's hard to fit it onto any alternate album configurations, such as "chaos and disorder" (where it blends in quite well) since it is just so darn long. but as a stand alone it's great.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

r u serious? The Ride on the ''undertaker video'' is one of my favorite P.'s tracks...but the crystall ball version doesn't even come close in comparison to that version..it's very bad imo... | |

Just saw the CB version on a certain tube where you can view clips, for the first time. Nice. | |

Was very disappointed this was on CB. Was never very keen on theundertaker stuff. | |
