I always thought he looked so good with this look too! And in the video he seems so cute and sweet. (it's from a record store signing in Paris and there's another one from the same year '93 in Atlanta that I saw, could be more for all I know)

definitely looked so good in this era. Wish there were more to this vid. I saw the other one you mean but this one looks like such a nice clear shot!

Shiloh...thx for those gorgeous pics of P and Sheila!!


Can't stay long but I saw this stuff on FB and had to share it here. Remember recently we were talking about two of these guitars!
===================================================

Roger Sadowsky:

Dug through my photo archives and here are the only photos I have of the guitars I made for Prince back in the 80's. I was brought in just as they were beginning rehearsals for the Purple Rain tour and personally delivered every guitar to Minneapolis.

First, I made two copies of his Hohner Tele as Hohner had discontinued the guitar at that time.

Second, I made two more Hohner copies that ejaculated! In the Purple Rain movie, there is a scene where he climbs to the top of a huge mountain of speakers, grabs a guitar and masterbates the neck until the guitar ejaculates onto the audience. The guitar was a prop and connected to a tank of Ivory Liquid off stage. Prince wanted a fully playable guitar that could also ejaculate. I ran copper tubing along the side of the truss rod and it terminated at the tip of the headstock. On the body side, it terminated in a compartment we routed in the back so they could install their solenoid valve that connected to the tank of Ivory Liquid. I called these two guitars the Ejacucasters! You can see Prince using the Ejacucaster here:
https://youtu.be/vNtuSMZLnHM?t=1h34m31s

The final two were two differnent T-style guitars, both purple with flowers.

Ejacucasters! Brilliant! Ivory liquid!! I assumed it was just water - possibly soapy water. like a 'squirt gun'. But nope, P was always thinking everything out down to the last details!

I just saw a clip from literally the best guitar solo he's ever done to Purple Rain. So many emotions just came over me...I feel lost all of a sudden. I always think I get to a good place and then something like this happens and it's a flood gate of tears. Again. I may need to step away for the night

I bet it was the HQ Milan 2010 version, wasn't it?

I've never heard him do that variation on the melody of the solo before - and it is TRULY AMAZING!!!

I dont know if the one I am watching is the same one... can you write what title it would specifically be on - the version I found is fuzzy. And I really love it. so if it exists clearer that would be amazing.

Ooops I think I found it

Shucks...the clip up on YT right now is not very good, I'd love to check this out as I don't recall hearing it before.

For me, the guitar solo on this cover of "Just my Imagination" is now almost too much to listen to...its such a powerful reminder of how much we lost. the solo starts at 2:30.

I don't know, sometimes posting makes me happy, keeps my mind occupied. Other times like tonight, it brings me down realizing why we're all so frantic doing this, there won't be any more new P in the future.

I think there will still be many more to come that haven't been released yet. Think of all the people who he's worked with and interacted with. For years. Surely they have their own private stash. I believe when the time is right for them, they'll start to share their memories with us

Kinda like the ones I posted last night, from the former bodyguard! There are lots out there, but maybe not all of them are publicly avaialble (yet!).

You really notice his beautiful hands and long slender fingers in this one. When is this one from? This looks like it's pre 1978.

Are you serious?!

Okay so I have either just spent the last two hours resizing these monstrous photos for NOTHING...or these are new to some of you as they were also new to me. Making myself a tea and will load them in over the rest of the evening

I love the ones with the purple lighting!!

[Edited 7/16/16 0:04am]

I don't know what it is about this one but I it so much! The purple lighting, the expression on his face... (again sorry if all those were repeats I hadn't ever seen them so... if they are, hopefully they still are pretty - I for one think they are.
