I realize that some people like a well crafted song as opposed to an extended, musical ellaboration.

I, for just one, get into it listening for the challenges that the musicions might present to one another.

For me, when the groove is there, it's pure bliss to hear musical ideas mesh well at the hands of great players.

But, like I said, that's just how this kid feels about it!

Prost!

Yeah, but this is just instrumental jamming, it's just rehearsal and nothing new or exciting that we haven't heard before,in fact if you compare this stuff to other stuff, it's very bland.

Now, if i were going to the AU gig, I'd be hyper now, which is the sole intentions of this jam, so you all acting like he has the next new song released!

I don't really accept this as a new song, but I'm glad it was put out there to enjoy!

The bold type isn't really a fact, is it?

But I am curious as to what you were comparing this rehearsal to?

Just listen to any other damn rehearsal, I think I agree with Bart on this one. This jam is totally unexciting and not hyping me up!

I think Prince is tryin to say "Give me your money, and kiss my a**" I mean I know we all have, so I am NOT making any judgments. Just give the man what he wants....damn!

Wow. PRINCE and the NPG are in rehearsal for the Welcome 2 Australia tour!!! Ticket sales are BLAZING. What started as 3 shows is now up to 6. Australia, how many shows can U handle?

To begin every week of rehearsal, to get the rust off, PRINCE and the band jam one song for 30-45 minutes.

"The Dance Electric" in its original form with vocals will be one of the featured encore songs for the Welcome 2 Australia tour.

Get ready to DANCE!!!

P.S. PRINCE and the band are currently taking requests for desired tunes for the setlist.

So......what do U all want to hear???-DocFB

... didn't see your post earlier ( my bad ) ... I'm feelin' this song. If you listen closely, you can hear the original TDE loop ( very cool )

How easy is it to get an mp3-file of this stream?

anybody else hear 2 guitars? if this is really a live jam, i think somebody you people love to hate (Andy Allo) learned a few things in the past few months.

It's not necessarily Andy Allo. Could be someone else, could be overdubs by Prince, could be the band playing live over another guitar track...

This is what y'all have been crying for, don't waste time talking about a bunch of nothing. Just take advantage of this opportunity and get those suggestions in. DO EVER SAY HE NEVER CARED ABOUT HIS FANS, EVER AGAIN!!!!!

meanwhile he's already brought the W2 show to the US and Canada

dayum!, 3 things 2 notice - Funky LOUD Bass + Chicken grease funky guitar + MPLS synths - these are the elements on record that drove the classics we all love. If only he could get this feeling back on CD. Mad props to the Bass player, whoever it is has it nailed on!.

ok!

So nobody else is jazzed about the bad girls disco whistle?

Toot toot, hey, beep beep!

That was off the hook!

A decent funky, tight groove. Lovin it

I swear if Prince layed down vocals and kept the same groove he'd have a major hit on his hands - oldskool - this reworking is a success imo

[Edited 4/16/12 13:21pm]

I was waiting ALL day to groove to this!! I got the notification from my friend at work, and could harldly stand up straight. Haha.

I read it on my FB and was just anticpating this funk Jam Session!!!

It was well worth the wait!! I mean, this was just OFF THE WALL! WHAT was he doing here? I wished he extended the Rocking guitar towards the end. But the chicken greese has so much flavor I mean this is OFF THE HOOK! Can't stop jamming to it!

That bass is too funky..I can't stand this track. I just can't...lol

Where is the download button when you need it????? lol

[Edited 4/16/12 13:43pm]

The first time in a long time that Prince has made me get my funk face on and hit replay!!! Now THIS is funky! Thanks Prince!!!

OMG I can't stop playing this!! I love it!!

after listening again, my guess is it's Andy Allo.

you know what would make it even better? Wendy and Lisa's vocals were always a little off or even wispy. here the background vocals are too polished...too soul......

just sayin'.

First time in a long time his guitar playing has made me go "wow."

rdhull said:

At 2:25 there's that cop whistle like the old days of disco songs. I know it seems trivial but in many ways that may not be understandable to some, it's not. It's hot.

The minute I heard that, I remembered his "Kool & The Gang" joke from the DMSR rehearsal.

I think I might have been the only person to have requested Trust. Might aswell just go all out now and ask for Batdance.

OzlemUcucu said:

Jeez some of you are far too desperate. I can understand if you get excited if you plan to go to his gig in few weeks, but other than that I see no excitment here.

One of us must be crazy, because, after reading DrF's post, I was wanting the 30-45 minute version!!

Please don't come to the concert?????

Anyhow, love the jam!

Once again, see Reply #72, then use your googles. It's free and easy.

i'm sensing a trend ..prior 2 the canada dates, dr tweedle berry reports about prince rehearsing extra loveable 4 the shows, yet he never performed it. now here's the dance electric being promised 2 be performed as a encore..yeah i'll belive it when i read about it.

the jam is okay but it would have been nice 2 hear a verse or two. just saying the dance electric early in the track doesn't make it the dance electric

and yes i wanted 2 smack shelby 4 calling out "remix"

I like it. Fcuz, it only makes me yearn even more for an official prince on vocals

version of the studio track (the original studiotrack, not a re-recording).

But it's nice to see him actually releasing stuff again. It's a little free bonus sort

of thing. And that's nice.

He's been dustsing off many outtakes the last few years, mainly for live shows,

so what gives? Why his sudden interest in all this 'old' stuff?

It feels like one gigantic prick tease tho. Because in the end, we never get these

songs that he knows we want. It's just a live chant or a one off performance or

a radically reworked new version.
