Madonna Live In Brazil - Prince Tribute

Did anyone see the Madonna Celebration Live in Brazil show on TV.

Right after Like A Prayer, a figure dressed like Prince (I believe it's Madonna's son) is unveiled miming Prince's orgiinal (and possibly unheard) guitar intro to Like A Prayer after which there is an instrumental sequence with the intro to Let's Go Crazy.

You can probably find the footage on YouTube.

The first time I watched it the tears were streaming down my face, I still cannot get over his death sad

That Prince tribute has been in the tour since the beginning. There's also an MJ/Madonna silhouetted dancer section, too.

To not "get over" something is to purposely hang onto it, hoping it will change if you just wish hard enough. It's a waste of energy. This is the new, unfortunate, reality.

It sucks, but here we are. We're doing just fine. Join us?

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

The "Like a Prayer" Prince guitar is in the extended remix that came out in 1989, isn't it?

It's from 'Act Of Contrtition' which features P on guitar. David, her son, was invited to Paisley Park before the tour started, he shared a few photos recently.

It was on the extended remix, and on the early promo single (which is the first version I heard of "Like A Prayer"). A brief snippet of the guitar solo is heard at the intro to the album version. A backwards masked track of the full guitar was used on "Act of Contrition", which was likely Prince and Madonna in the studio together (the tune is credited to "The Powers That Be", which definitely seems very Princely).

On a related note, the Dub Beats Remix also contains a sample of "Bob George" throughout.
