I'm listening to NPGMC Ahdio Show 04, and right after the beginning of the show, he plays pretty much the whole first section of the Parade tour in Hamburg Germany, August 31, 1985. I mean, all the tours are great and all, but that medley section at the beginning of the tour set list (after ATWIAD, and the first 3 songs on Parade) it just golden. He wouldeither go into "A Love Bizarre" (as in this one), or "Mutiny" sometimes, or whatever, right before it slows down. I never get tired of those shows!

Then in the Ahdio Show 07, at the 26:30 mark, there's another Parade show snip, starting with the "Automatic" section. This one is special, because after "DMSR", instead of going into "When Doves Cry", he goes into "The Dance Electric". MOTHERFUCK! I forgot how funky this part was on here! The guitar solo is off the hook! Researching, it looks like this was the April 3, 1986 show in Boston, at the Metro. It's the only time he performed it on that tour, or since until the Welcome 2 shows.

Those two sections alone, of the Parade tour, was worth everything.

Hmmm, the Boston performance lists "The Dance Electric" as being played, too. Either way, it's funky as shit!

Dance Electric was played at many of the U.S. Hit 'n Run 1986 shows. In San Francisco (May 23, 1986) Andre Cymone joined him onstage for the song.
