At first they were nice, but now im kinda over them Yes I know they are free and im grateful for the chance to hear them, but its kinda boring now Maybe its just me Id like to hear your take on it

I like the one I was at. The others I've heard are okay. I do like jams though.

Whats to tell? P and the Band just jammed for about 45 minutes.

they sound kinda empty or soulless to me. like hes kinda phoning it in almost

A "yay" that's cooled down to a "meh."

I think what's to tell is how you came to be at the rehearsal. Nice .

Can I go for the hidden third option.

I say yay. Rehearsals have never been my favourite type of Prince rarity, but no-one can deny that they offer an interesting glimpse into how live shows are formed, and how Prince works with whatever his current band is. Would people really rather not ever hear anything like this? Why would you want to tell Prince, "you know what? Meh, dont bother"? [Edited 6/20/12 2:52am]

They neither excite me nor bother me, so meh. Tis just one opinion.

nay right from the jump

i pretty much feel the same way you do, nurse, they were ok when we got them but i'm kind of

bored with them now.

still, they're a nice little EP, in my eyes, a small document of this tour and band and in future it

will be a nice oddity to 'rediscover' and play.

We're a spoiled bunch, I have grown used to the rehersal jams and look forward to hearin' more of em. They have the making for a album if you get at least 10 of em

Kinda like a drive through burger -you crave it, but once you tuck in you realise it 's not hot enough, doesn't look so fresh and it leaves you wishing you'd chosen something a bit healthier! But, hey, we always go back again....

thats just the way rehearsals are sometimes. i know my band can play as tight as can be at rehearsals, but you still dont give off the same vibe as when you have an audience.

Yeah if you like shitty web-rips.

Yea to rehearsal bootlegs, nay to sanitized, spoonfed "jams." (In quotes because he's giving us aren't really jams - they're as tightly scripted and orchestrated as anything he's ever done.)

YOU PERFECTLY Described it!!

I felt this for the first time; with the 19 minute rehearsal. Firstly, it was too long. Secondly...I remember just nodding my head, thinking to myself...Is he going to leave this loop alone or keep it the whole way through? LOL. I was most amazed, at the 'America' Bass line and the 'GET FREAKY LIKE YOUR HEAD BOB".

Everything else was pretty dope, but I had hoped for a more swift change..BUT hey it was a rehearsal!

" The Dance Electric and Mutiny" rehearsals were far superior! When Prince is on guitar telling others what to do..I can stand that more than anything else.

BUT...as you said..

I WILL ALWAYS GO BACK AGAIN!

It's so true with the fast food analogy...lol

Yes to all except I wasn't fond of the Mutiny one.

I definitely like modern day updated jams.

All a Sign of the Times. The real times. Now.

Not spoiled just like my Princey a certain way and Imma say No on the album

Not complaining-just an opinion. You may like em and that's cool too.

Am I going to get in trouble for not really making a choice?! I was excited to get something and I did enjoy the Mutiny/Ice Cream Castles jam, but if this is all a tease leading up to an Andy album only, then ... I need a little more Prince and a little less NPG. And I agree with Genesia; these jams sound edited. Not a bad thing for some, but not for me.
