Did Prince perform "Electric Chair' anywhere other than Saturday Night Live? Just wondering.

That's the only time I've seen him do it live. Could be wrong, but I think thats it.

That's the only time it was ever performed in full.

And what a performance it was-prince 4 ever

I remember going to Tower Records asking if that was the new single after that show.

HIGHLY disappointed when it was never released here as a single.

And Prince was just WAY TOO GORGEOUS singing Electric Chair on SNL!!!!!! You could tell he smiled at somebody in the audience while he was singing the second verse. Oh, to have been that person!

Yep saw him perform full version in 1990 Nude Tour in the UK

I think he's thinking of the "excerpts of 'Electric Man'" most likely.
