The Reseda show was monumental. I was in awe of his energy. He was non stop from start to finish. It was a hot sweaty funky night....

He wore jeans in the Little Red Corvette video and there are a few pics from the Parade era where he is wearing jeans and a striped turtleneck sweater

I'm loving all of that denim on him. For me, 87-88 was the pinnacle. Anything from this era is gold, imo.

4 me too, but from the start up to the 1988 so much stuff happened and so many shows that we have no footage or pics of. the 1986 years just too see/hear the abundance of studio/rehearsals happening

87-88 had so many aftershows and especially 1987 started & ended so quickly

I'm trying to get a good shot of Sheile E from this 9.11.1987 show, she was in a cherry red 1leg piece

Those one-legged suits were HOT HOT HOTTT!! I didn't know she had a red one. She came out in a black one at the Minnesota Black Music Awards to accept an award for Prince and the whole place erupted. We heard after the fact Prince was next door watching Bowie's Glass Spider show.

To me that award show was a battle between Bowie and Prince, because both performed on it (though Bowie's was broadcast in from his actual tour). Prince won. I was sitting there with a devoted Bowie fanatic in a dorm tv room, and even she admitted Prince won.

I remember watching this live and I had my vcr set to record it...

It was awesome watching them march in with the drums...

Great performance although I thought the sound was a bit off for Play in the Sunshine...and it seemed like the crowd was sorta stunned..as they were quiet during the performance...he really was 'out there' back in the day...nobody was on his level....cool jeans and jean jacket...

well,,I remember being pissed cuz my damn vcr didnt record it!!!

Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

That's the jacket. Wonder how she got it.

How else would she have gotten it? Prince gave (sent) it to her when he heard she was a "huge" fan.

I remember watching this in a room with a bunch of my "heavy metal" friends when this aired. And I yelled at them; "SEE...He can STILL throwdown when he wants too!!!" I think Whitesnake and G-N-R played on the show too so he probably amped it up a notch.

I think he jumped on the "retro-psychedic peace sign" vibe a couple of years before everyone else (including Lenny) made it popular. I dug that outfit he had on that night and his doo' looked cool. A total breakaway from the "Christopher Tracy" style.

Photo: These next photos feature Cat at the 1987 MTV Video Awards during the performance of Sign o the Times: I always loved the SOTT performance Prince Cat Dr Fink starting out in shrouds of shadow smoke and erie light, very apocolyptic. It moves so fast that no matter if you saw it live or by video you were overwelmed by imagery. Like a watercolored painting of free movement. Watching Cat swim thru the smoke and light and at points shadow Prince's moves was breathtaking.  I think these photos will express that.  Heres 2 U Cat...Let Me C U Dance, U Said U Were Funky
