I was there at Mayte's 21st birthday party and lots of other parties at Paisley in the mid-90's (public and invite only). The best performances, in my opinion, were the impromtu ones in the atrium. I have fond memories of the band lugging equipment from studio A out into the atrium because he decided he wanted to jam last minute.

Cool. I probably know you or at least have seen you and vice versa. The invite only ones were the best, probably because of the exclusivity of it! cool

The invite only, must have been for people mostly living in MN?

Have any of you seen Prince perform outside a traditional concert or club setting?

I was lucky enough to see the 3 song performance in Turtles Rhythm & Views (a now defunct Atlanta record store) in 1993

That same weekend (I didn't see this one BTW) Prince was snowed in and couldn't travel to the next town, and suposedly he played solo in the hotel bar

Anyone else have a story?

I was there at the Turtles in 1993 too....got lucky and was right in front..great memories.

Yes. If you had a good relationship with Prince's main bodyguards, then you had it made. If you couldn't contain yourself or acted like a fan in Prince's presence, then you weren't going to be getting in. Most of the time, if you were in the VIP section of Glam Slam and acted like you didn't care that Prince was there, his bodyguards would invite you to the afterparty at Paisley Park or the Erotic City room at Glam Slam. It was their job to pick people out of the crowd to attend. Mainly hot women in short dresses! lol

I've seen the tribute band Purple Reign perform a couple of times. It was cool, but not the real thing.

Thank u 4 the info. You know its funny,i've been collecting Prince/MPLS artists work since '86, & have a ton of vynil/vhs (& to a lesser degree cd's/dvd's) & yet i still manage to have a few bits to still get! smile . I missed out on quite alot due to not going online till '09! - i still do not have One nite alone..solo piano & voice,Rave in2 the joy fantastic (remix) & The Vault! Luckily a kind friend gave me Chocolate invaison & Slaughterhse (altho they are missing The dance,U make my sun shine,Silicon & 2045 Radical man & the sound quality isnt great in places). My friend also gave me Box of chocolates,Parade demo,Loring park,The work Vol 2, 7 june 84 & 2 aug 86 gigs. Unfortunatly i still dont have a laptop (just cell) & basically i go on Thedigitalgarden.org & dream about replacing all my old boot outtakes/gigs/vhs t.v appearances/specials with the improved quality cd studio/live boots & dvd's that are out there now. The Work 2.0 & 30 years of unreleased funk (& the dvd t.v/specials volumes on digitalgarden) look very tasty amongst many others smile. I still need to get the Come on maxi single & The song of the heart & a fair few singular tracks released online i haven't even heard! - S.S.T,PFunk,Brand new orleans,Disco jellyfish,One song,Cybersingle & Glasscutter. No doubt there are more singular tracks that were released on npgmc (etc) that i dont know about! Ah well its an ongoing journey this collecting & its been a great ride! smile

I've just realised i do have a edited version of 3 chains o gold (on vhs) that was broadcast on US t.v,i think its called act 1 on the vid. It was on t.v around the time of The ryde dyvine,but I wanna melt with u is not on my version.
