Songz of his, he should've never tampered with.

Don't get it blown out of context, im a die hard fan. But Prince has done some "wacky " stuff to some of his classics, like "The Cross " by changing the lyrics or overkilling his songs in his live performances. I get that the days of his aftershows are a thing of the past, like" saturday

morning cartoons", so he includeds his aftershow jamming during his regular shows. Some are nice to hear like "DMSR", but others can be kinda over the top. What songs of his do u feeled like he should've left alone?

Extraloveable.......that 2011 version was absolutely dire....

1999 when he did The New Master....

I think there should be a self imposed ban on tampering with his past hits except full remastering which is of course fine! smile

However, in fairness, his live improvisations of the classics are often amazing.

As well as those, Fury and Black Sweat sound 1000x better in their live incarnations IMO.
