Wendy kicks ass on America.

There, I said it.

Never noticed how much she was there (Homemade Deluxe Edition with the 16k boosted, I'm aging)
Any other songs come to mind where Wendy gets a full vocal support role for Prince throughout the entire song ?

Baby I'm A Star (Purple Rain tour LA 1985) he calls her Rose

And the 6.7.1985 Birthday show she is killing the guitar grooves

Question: America, the live version/video from Nice; I once read there is a 20 minute version that was put on laser disc. You know, laser disc, the size of an album. They were the latest tech before DVD's. Can someone confirm this?

I can't speak on the Laser Disc, but I can speak on what mine eyes have WITNESSED! And what mine eyes have witnessed IS 9 minutes and 58 seconds of Prince and The Revolution - ALL - kick MOTHERFUCKING ASS on 'America'!!!!!!


I could very well SHOW the world what I'm talking about, right this very second! But Prince's STUPIDITY just won't let me. It is, what it is...and it is WHY...I most certainly really would heart to "Slap the WAVES...back ON TO..." his happy ass! shrug

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Ok, I'm a little confused; you witnessed the performance in Nice or another performance of America? And you have it for your viewing pleasure? Thank you.

No, unfortunately for me, I was not there in person. disbelief

However, thanks to the beauty of the internet and some wonderful people, that weren't afraid of Prince's STUPIDITY. I can tell you for fact that the drum solo happens around 7 minutes 45 seconds in. wink

no no no! Don't hate me because I can't share it with you all now, even though I really would heart to.

Hate Prince's ever growing STUPIDITY because it's the ONLY reason that I can't! shrug

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Wow, Ladies, calm down.

More specifically I was referring to the album version, which I must have listened to a thousand times,
and suddenly yesterday I hear Wendy singing ALL ALONG.
She is doubling Prince's vocals non-stop, she's just there, in front of the mix!
And I think she does a great job.

...and also in Nice, of course.
In 85/86, The Revolution was the best pop band in the world ("rock" would be too reductive).
You've come a long way, Baby.

I was curious bonatoc if you ever heard Wendy's "lead" vocals when she and the rest of the Revolution performed at the 2003 Family Jamm? If you did, what did you think? smile
