Was anyone at the 14/2/94 show (The Beautiful Experience)

I'm curious about what instruments played during the show. We've all seen the videos for Interactive, Days of Wild, Now, The Jam and Shhh, so we know what's happening there.

Then he was definitely on guitar for The Ride and I'm assuming on I Believe in U.

What about the rest? It sounds like he's on the piano on What'd I Say, not sure about the rest of the show.

There was a brief snippet circulating of him playing drums during this show, I'm assuming during Peep The Technique, or was it Martial Law? But it also sounds like he's on bass at some point??

Did he play piano or nothing during None of Your Business (by the way, is he singing "business" or "penis"?? lol )

I wish I was at that show.
The full unedited 'concert' footage without narative camera angles (a full version with the narative angles is also circulating among some) was screened to some in Germany a year after it was screened at Paisley Park. This was also reported in a fanzine back then.

prince is listed as vox, guitar, and drums.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

There was a detailed thread on here by a poster who attended, he may have included some of this info

.

A fancy box set boot was floating round recently which may or may not contain full video from the show. It was unclear on the flier I seen. The snippet of him playing drums that surfaced recently could possibly be from this set.

We've had the full audio for a while but I've never come across the full video, including the unaired tracks.

.

I've always wanted to see the footage of What'd I Say where it sounds like he pranks 'Tattoo' with the guitar not playing. Sonny was asked about this in an interview not long ago

The journalist Jim Walsh from the local MPLS press was at the show (author of The Gold Experience book and the TGE liner notes).

He talked about it on the How Can U Just Leave Me S...ng podcast show.
