Why you wanna treat me so bad- post 1980 I wish U Heaven- obviously after Lovesexy tour

Brought it back for the 2010 tour if i recall correctly, I remember being a bit pissed that he didn't play it at the show I caught him at that year.

There was even a rehearsal mp3 on the lotusflow3r website I think?

There are rehearsals of it you can hear. One is twenty minutes long :smh:

What boot?

"Nude Tour Rehearsals"

11:12 (I was wrong)

Ill have to find the actual name of the bootleg.

Crystal Ball (with an orchestra preferably). Can you imagine what this song would sound like live???

Another Lonely Christmas. Yeah, it was played live once but I would have loved to experience this song in a live setting.

Annie Christian. Not sure if this one was ever played live but it certainly wasn't a regular on Prince's setlists. Can you imagine those guitar parts live???

Condition of the Heart. Yes, this one was played during piano medleys, but I would love to hear this song played with an orchestra and a choir.

Elephants and Flowers. Again not sure if it was ever played or not but certainly a song I would have loved live. It needs a choir though!

Still Would Stand All Time. With a huge choir. Would be fantastic.

Love 2 the 9's. Could have been played live, but I have never heard it. It needs a very competent band, but this would be a fantastic song live.

Rockhard in a funky place. Phew, can you imagine???

He performed this on acoustic guitar Musicology - Chicago - 2004 I believe.

Only time I ever seen and heard it myself. I was very surprised.

Strange But True - somehow i thought i would find it on piano tour tracklist... a masterpiece.

There's a live rehearsal of Rebirth of the Flesh that was released on NPGMC. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Sticky Like Glue is live somewhere. I forget the show, but it starts with him putting on some fuzzy boots sitting on a piano. I know they did Beginning Endlessly and swore SLG was in there too.

Love. Btw I?d like to see a live video version of black muse/girls and boys/love or money from PP end of 2015...

I think there's an acoustic version of "LOVE" floating around.

Get your ears on it (Controversy Tour), it's out there, and not even in obscure places.
It's dubbed "punk version" for good reasons.
It's fantastic. It's the apocalypse.

Found it and love it, thanks for the heads up!

I was hoping that some day he'd do a Brian Wilson type show where he'd perform The Rainbow Children - the entire album - from start to finish.

I'd vote for 1999 or SOTT if he had done this.

Did he ever perform "The Truth" live? I really enjoyed the acoustic stuff he was doing around musicology, where the songs just breathed and took on a life of their own. Very soulful and revealing of his strength as a songwriter, minus too much production, and I wish he'd done more of it.

I've never heard "Positiivty" done live and remember wishing he'd closed the Lovesexy set with it. Would have made a great closer; the whole crowd screaming "hold on to your soul".

THE FULL VERSION WITH HIS GUITAR PARTS BY PRINCE HIMSELF = WDC

IMO ....my TOP 3 songS PRINCE BEST SONG EVER >NEVER PLAYED LIVE AT MY KNOWLEDGE EXEPT 4 A REHEARSAL (NICE VERDURE THEATRE IN 1985) = TEMPTATION

Yes, I'm sure that there are a couple of performances of "Dance On" on "Lovesexy Tour Rehearsals Vol. II". From memory, they're relatively short but very enjoyable.

Not all that short in fact, 3:03 and 4:55 minutes.
