Wasn't there but the studio recording is one of my favorite guitar playing by Prince. Seems kind of unique for him as well, he didn't play like that a lot.

Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right?

I wonder if a longer studio version or alternate one with vocals exist in the vault ??? eek

I was there - my husband surprised me with tickets for our 10th anniversary. Sadly, I don't remember this specific moment though, I wish I knew the significance at the time. Not to mention, Joe Louis is not the best venue for concerts and our seats were pretty far from the stage.

I was there as well, but I don't remember that. The details from that night are fuzzy, but I do remember being slightly disappointed because the show was similar to the Hit n Run show I saw in Nashville that previous November, and though he played some deep cuts and fan favorites, there were far too many snippets/medleys and the show seemed rushed.
