Okay I'm looking for a little history behind this track from SOTT.

1. Was this taken from a live performance of Prince and The Revolution during the Parade Tour (in France)? Right before they broke up or perhaps during the ATWIAD/Parade sessions?

2. Does this version appear on a bootleg or video?

3. Were there overdubs on this tracks (like Sheila E.'s rap, Prince singing the high part, etc.)

Please help.

I hope this helps:

1) Yes, live performance: Prince and the Revolution Paris 8/25/86.
2) Yes, many.
3) The concert version was mainly instrumental with vocals being added later for SOTT.

Overall, the live version from this tour was only so-so. The version that appeared in the SOTT tour as an encore was smokin.

I have this performance on video filmed with a hand held cam way back then...imagine trying to sneak in that thing...it was probably much larger than the gadgets they got these days...

Thanks a lot guys. Man, I sure would like to hear a "rough draft" of this song.
