American Bandstand Performance I've just witnessed the American Bandstand performance of I Wanna Be Your Lover and Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad.
I know he was only 19 at the time but the interview section between performances made me cringe! He looked so uncomfortable. Maybe that why he hardly did any interviews after that! Are there any other early performances like this kicking around? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
He'll put you in his cookie jar and save you for a rainy day - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |

There is another tv performance I can remember...It's when Prince performed on a tv show called In Concert which aired on Friday or Saturday night...
I don't remember whether or not there was an interview involved, but I do believe it is a fantastic performance...and, of the same songs you've mentioned, I think...(I was too young at the time to really understand yet what I was seeing and hearing "live"---for the first time at that...he was just a naked man, sounding great, singing and dancing all over the stage on tv...lol...and, I was dazzeled...  )...I haven't seen that performance since then...
Perhaps someone has it recorded and will get a copy to you... 
Good luck... | |

two things about the bandstand fiasco:
1) p wasn't 19 like he said he wuz...he wuz actually 21 (yay, fully legal!). guess he wuz still on that 'turn-age-back-two-years' trip that warners set out 4 'im...child prodigy, whatevs... 2) p's reaction towards dick clark seemed 2 be born from an amalgam of a couple things: firstly, the whole 'talk a lotta nothin' approach wuz a premeditated stunt that p did...secondly, dick made p sorta miffed with that "this isn't the kind of music that comes from minneapolis, minnesota" remark he made, and rightfully so. don't matter where u come from, one can still get their funk on.  thirdly, p wuz still in his 'phuc the media' mode and wasn't 2 keen on givin interviews.
imo, that whole semi-interview wuz the best interview p hardly gave. classic, funny shit there.  as 4 other performances within that time frame, he made his first teevee appearance on the midnight special a couple weeks prior 2 bein on bandstand. i've got that performance taped...nuffin special about it, really...save 4 p's outfit. 
hope this helps ya!

Good luck... I think you're talking about The Midnight Special not In Concert. The In Conert(AKA The Ryde Devine) performances were just a few years ago,1998.On the Midnight Special,he was introduced by two dudes and he lypsychned the same two songs. I think he was wearing those zebra vest/bikini briefs w/ stockings ensemble. can't spell worth a damn edit [This message was edited Sun Apr 27 9:06:01 PDT 2003 by PhilG] [This message was edited Sun Apr 27 9:07:00 PDT 2003 by PhilG] [This message was edited Sun Apr 27 9:43:52 PDT 2003 by PhilG] | |

FACE/ Lamont (as I happen to believe you are) just because you are older than handclaps does not make you any less of a fucking idiot then you've ever been. Fuck off you self righteous prick. | |

1) sure it was. took a little time before it wuz etched in stone and became synonymous with p's homebase, but u gotta remember: he wuz at the stage where he wuz settin certain buildin blocks that would make it so. u must not have read my statement correctly, sir. 2) it really doesn't matter if you're older than me or not...hell, all that aside i act a heckuva lot more mature on this site than u ever have, lamont, so don't even go there, eh?  | |

[This message was edited Sun Apr 27 8:37:37 PDT 2003 by Handclapsfingasnapz] At that time, it WAS NOT the kind of music that came from Mpls. Right, Dick was telling the truth. Infact when Dick said that Prince jokingly said 'where'? So I don't think that offended him, like everyone thinks it did. ~KiKi | |
