I was always curious about how Good Love would sound live.

Impossible to play live. Straight studio cut.

I know what you're saying, but I think he could do a pretty incredible live rendition of this, one that would be a ton of fun to hear.

Not as fun as "La, La, La, He, He, Hee," which I can't believe no one has cosigned on, by the way, but fun nonetheless.

I always wondered why he never managed to place this on his guitar? It would be too awesome!

Maybe he thinks it should remain in the volume and level he recorded it in?

Remain faithful to the studio version
Have a full set of strings to create the Clare Fischer sound
Bring Wendy in for the purple underground speech


I think if he were to aim in making this performance a single, he could make an absolute meal of it

I think iot would sound kind of empty live (lik Kiss doesn' come off good ina live setting). It seems like this pne would be hard to recreate live unless he went full on acoustic instrumentation.

I'd like to see a full on jam on "Le Grind" opening a stadium concert with muscle.

That Prince is dead.

Small chance he'll be resurrected for short whiles, every once in a while.

When's the last time he did a full live version of "Diamonds & Pearls"? That song has so much sentimental value to me!

Oh god when he did that on the Piano at the O2 I had to pinch myself. I was sitting with a few casual fans and someone pretty hardcore and no one seemed to know what it was. So it felt like I was the only one in the stadium apart from Prince that knew the song (I know that i wasn't) which was quite an intimate feeling at the time.

Awesome song live

Has he ever done a full version of "Sometimes It Snows In April" live? If not, that would be my choice. I loved the ONA tour version, but I want the whole song done that way.

Otherwise, maybe "Into The Light" / "I Will" (if this is cheating, then just "Into The Light"). Maybe not the best song he hasn't done live, but it's the first to come to mind.

He did Sometimes It Snows in April in LA last year. i think that it was mostly him sitting onstage on a stool playing guitar. It was cool because he dedicated it to his sister (i hope to be recollecting correctly). What i remember most though is that it went to soul level or the upper planes almost immediately. What a beautiful heart.

I have always hated that he never did a full version of "Glam Slam" live. On one of my Lovesexy Rehearsal cds, there is a full version of it,but without Prince's vocals sad

I've got a start on it. Not too hard to do. Now, it's not going to sound like the studio cut.

Think the acoustic version of "Love" vs the "3121" version.

But the good news is that "Good Love" could be done acoustically or with a band, and it would be very funky. I've a suspicion the hardest part for Prince today would be the vocals, since this is basically a Camille song.

I know but he hasn't done them in so long... Although when did he do Crazy You live?

Can't link to it here but there is this spectacular version from 20Ten from one of the Scandinavian countries. Prince and Renato only. Brilliant stuff

I was there that night, and recognised it, and felt the same! You could probably count on two hands the amount of us that knew it!
