"Rock N Roll Love Affair" and "People Pleaser" Videos Premier at Sayers Club

http://www.drfunkenberry....m=facebook

Before Andy Allo and PRINCE took the stage at The Sayers Club, the music video's for "Rock & Roll Love Affair" and "People Pleaser" were world premiered.

Prince's "Rock & Roll Love Affair" video was shown first. It is a performance clip that was filmed at his Paisley Park studios in Minneapolis. It features Andy Allo playing a heart-shaped guitar and Hannah Ford playing drums in the video.

Prince doesn't hide the words on the carpet of the NPG Music Club, his former web site that won a Webby and recieved accolades for the services and music it provided. Prince's video strengths have mostly been in performance videos such as "Musicology", "Call My Name", "Little Red Corvette", and "1999". Although videos such as "Black Sweat" were very good, his performance clips have been better.

The video was shot by Chris Robinson in color but sometimes shows behind the scenes camerawork in black & white. Prince is sporting the fro and shades in the entire video.

Later in the night, Prince asked me what I thought of Hannah in the video and I said "She is cool" and then Prince said "She is gonna make me look like a star" which got a laugh from Hannah.

Next was Andy Allo's "People Pleaser" video which was a full length video as well shot at Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis in September.

It features her entire band with horn players along with close-ups of Andy singing and some profile shots as well. The video reminded me of old George Benson videos to where the musicians are actually an integral part of the concept of the video, which is rare nowadays.

The performance clip works well for Andy on "People Pleaser" and alos features a segment where words flash on the screen and back to Andy singing them.

Both video's are not low-budget and are quite good and polished in the sense of the musicianship is captured for all to see.

Prince and Andy debuting their new video's in a Hollywood nightclub is following the trend of Lana Del Rey and other's who have been doing so before the video's are released elsewhere.

Andy was pleased with the video and thanked the crowd during her set for allowing her to show it to them before anyone else.

There is no word when the video's will be out for the world to see, but as soon as we have more info on that or obtain the video, it will be shared here.-DocFB

Diagnosis: I believe in fairy-tales and Prince's and...Andy Allo...

Interesting. I didn't know there was a video. Does it suggest there is more to the song than just a throwaway freebie ala cause n effect and hot summer. Maybe there is an album in the pipeline. I'm good either way. The w2rehearsals "ep" will do me.

I'm an old guy that, apparently, watches "Matlock" and "Murder She Wrote' all day so I don't know where they show videos any more.

Are there shows on TV where we might see these?

If not, how would one see these videos? Would the artist have to post them on a website?

See where I'm going?

I think those videos are made with the intention of not be seen.

Prince I will always miss and love U.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Just a guess, since I haven't seen the video, but I assume it was filmed in the big room where most parties and performances were held post 95. The words NPG Music Club were on the floor.

Maybe he's gonna bring NPGMC back!?!
Wishful thinking....
Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

No, it just means that he hasn't renovated the place for a long time.

According to what's noted in Drfunkenberry's detailed review of the Sayers club private show on 10/23, he claims there's another private show tonight (10/25). See bottom of article.

Review: PRINCE & Andy Allo Make The “Housequake” At The Sayers Club

10/25/12

Prince performed along with Andy Allo at the Sayers Club on Tuesday night for a crowd just over 200 in Hollywood.

After seeing Prince perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live, I headed over to The Sayers Club where I met Damaris Lewis, the model and guest dancer for Prince on his latest tour and we did a quick interview.

You had to check your cellphones at the door, so I knew that meant no tweeting of songs performed while they were happening like I have done in the past before writing a full review.

I strike up a conversation with Hannah Ford, Prince's guest drummer, and her husband Josh and talk about the experience she has had since joining the NPG. Through the night I talk with Elissa Fiorilo-Deese, Ida, and John Blackwell, the coolest people for sure.

It is around 12:20 when Andy Allo and her band enter with the horns playing as the entered stage left.........

....................We have been hearing rumors about another Sayers Club show and while writing this, I just found out there will be another private show tonight.
