Mine is: The Scandalous Sex Suite

Updated: I meant to be more specific meaning Arena Concerts or Big Festivals not Aftershows or those similar type performances. haha

I know there are shockadelica rehearsals but I've never seen any videos of him actually performing it live.

Always hoped for "Paisley Park".

Then, later, at the 'Celebration', he did it and made me cry tears of joy!

I can't think of any other song that would have been a better one-off

(not a one-off, it was done in 86, but i'm still discovering )

You may wanna check Princevault. It was performed quite a few times. But I do agree that it should've been more often.

What? He totally played that live.

3 Chains 'o Gold (all the song)

New Power Generation

Used to be "She's Always In My Hair" until I saw him perform it.

Would've liked to see "Bump Squad" performed live...

Somewhere along the way in the 90s, I missed the whole Exodus album. By the end of the 90s, I had started to hear the term "Return of the Bump Squad," and knew about "Get Wild." But it wasn't until the beginning of the 2000s that I finally found and listened to it (probably via Napster).

But even that was after the NPGMC released version (with "Vicki Waiting," and "We March"). So when I heard the album version it was sort of a let down because that live cut was so fucking lit.

I've since grown to love Exodus. Just listened to it today actually, sans the segues. He played so much of that really rich, funky, well-produced music in the 90s (via Gold, Come, etc). "Bump Squad" should've been on that list of live cuts and rehearsals as much as "Get Wild," "Now," or anything else.

He played it once. April 10 1983 in Chicago at The Pavillion. AFAIK the only time

he performed it many, many times. first times in 83 and 84 and then he didn't play it live
for a very long time until he started to play it again in the 2000s. from 2010 onward I think
he performed it live every single year, last time during the Piano & A Microphone shows.

You're right.

He played it later in:

June 7 1984, First Avenue

December 28 1984 in St. Paul

December 31 1984 in Dallas

I don't have info in the 2000's and forward shows

In 2013, he released a live (rehearsal) version on 3rdEyeTunes. Here's the cover art:




EDIT: I don't why I can't get the image to show. I click on the tree/image button and insert a tinypic URL, but nothing....

"I was dreamin' when I wrote this..." but I think he played a bit of Tamborine during the One Nite Alone tour, I think it was during an aftershow in Islington, London. The Marquee...could be wrong! He also played Sign O The Times that night. Amazing...

Yes: https://www.princevault.c...er_2002-am

but also earlier at the NPGMC Soundcheck preceding the 5 October concert: https://www.princevault.c...tober_2002 with Prince on drums

and subsequently in an aftershow in Melbourne, 2012 https://www.princevault.c...ay_2012-am

For a looong time it was "I´m yours", but he played it with Michael B and Sonny T in 2009. Too bad the sound quality I have is not so good.
