FAVOURITE RENDITION - Little Red Corvette

I know it's easy to grow accustomed with familiar songs but those opening lines to Little Red Corvette are truly out of this world, and in my opinion, the most enticing on any Prince record to date.

What's your favourite performance of this all time classic? Mine is during the Purple Rain tour; that repititive synth intro really builds the song into something explosive.

I guess I should have known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last


worship By the way, what the fuck does that mean?! evillol

I guess it means that as she couldn't be bothered to paralell park, that she could be judged to be "fast" or "carefree" perhaps?

My favorite performance of LRC was at Hit and Run 2001 in Atlanta, GA. Sure it's the only time I've seen him perform it, but nevertheless, I thought that chair dance with Geneva was sexy lick

The version from the 1982 Detroit show on City Lights. It's the only tour that he performed the song in its entirety and did it justice.

Co-sign! And Lisa's vocals are awesome.

New Power Soul Tour, Wembley Arena in '98.

The way it just built up and then Prince appeared and everyone clapped in perfect time to it.

For those few moments everything seemed right with the world ...

presence of greatness


evenstill, the video 4

I like any version where he does a really long synth intro. The one on the 85 PR Tour video is great. Complete with Wendy throwing flowers to the audience
