Aw, it stops before they go into the rest of it past purple rain... or does it come back after the weird no ad?

I may have asked this before but can’t rememner....did everybody see this live on CBS? I thought this was the year CBS implemented a slight broadcast delay because of what happened at the Super Bowl that year. When I do an archive search for stories on the Grammys this year I don’t see a lot of talk about this performance but clearly those in the room loved it.

I saw it when it aired.

It comes back. Really annoying though, putting an ad in the middle of it! At least there was only one.

That was pretty cool!

How about that guitar throw at the end? Dang.

Smart of them to cash in on the never-ending Beyonce hype by bringing this performance back, anything to introduce Prince to younger listeners is good.

Today, The Current published the following article with videos entitled "‘Don’t hate us cause we fabulous’: Prince and Beyoncé perform at the 2004 Grammys". The second video has the vocal and guitar isolated. Here it is: https://blog.thecurrent.o...4-grammys/

Another great find, Latin, thanks for the heads up!

Love the isolated tracks. Need more of that.

I wonder if they did it with a software or if they managed to get it from an official source?

Good question! I can't tell, I just know I like it.

I wonder if it would be technically legal to do it with software and post it. I would think that would fall under "reverse engineering" which is usually a term of copyright statements.

Either way...

I guess on the internet everything is legal until you get caught, which at worst means a cease and desist (they wouldn't get sued for that).

It's the centre channel in the 5.1 surround sound stems. Live broadcasts (and many DVD mixes) in 5.1 used to always isolate the vocals in the centre, but then people began extracting acapella and dialogue tracks, so the conventions for multichannel mixing changed.

Thanks Latin!

This performance was big news worldwide. I was in Spain the day after and photos of them performing were on the front page of more than one newspaper. This was also the performance that kicked-off his commercial comeback, helping pave the way for the Musicology Tour.

Thx for clarifying
