Wait until <eye> records releases a remaster of this epic recording.

Prince calls out Bodyheat in B-Flat and tells Sheila to stay on the drums. she jokes and says "idk it" lol that was funny. then they proceed to go into one of the funkiest versions of the song. Sheila was really a great drummer and Prince loved using her even this early

listening now, a bit repetitive
Ok 20 minutes in guitar kick in

Funny to hear Prince telling them what to do you

Thanks for this

That was my exact reaction first time I listened 2 the whole thing yesterday . Funny how Prince is like the only artist we'll put up w/ that for. 20 minutes in... . It's a cute track especially when it gets going n an earworm if I ever heard 1 .

yeah thats made me laugh too

Gorgeous track that could have easily been a hit back then if he'd given it to a capable artist (and of course worked out lyrics etc.). Reminds me of the Noon Rendezvous rehearsal that just keeps on going and going and going.

.

Astonishing that such gems keep popping up, almost 35+ years later.

Yes for sure, I totally agree.

It's great to hear a track unfolding and developing particualarly in a band scenario, rather than Prince working on his own with an engineer in the studio.

I suppose one day the vault will reveal if he ever went back and finished this track.

omg, he's sooo bitchin' on Eric. (grin)

'You asleep today!'
'Drop out the sax. Who wasn't playing in the first place.'

Who's going to try and edit a nice song out of this?

Even if just one in twenty soundchecks would be as interesting as this one, the Estate (and WB) will never release these soundchecks in our lifetimes.

So thanks a lot for them bo0tleggars putting stuff out.

that 8/3/86 show sounds great
