Only recently unearthed this little live jem, and Ive been playing it ova and ova, it's really special.

I dont know anything about it, but there seems 2 be some confusion with the few people Ive chatted 2 about it's title - whether it is called simply: 'Roadhouse Garden' or if the track I have is just a live jam of both songs segued 2gether.

I have no idea where the song was recorded...
(maybe Paisley/1st Avenue?)

I have no idea when exactly this recording hails from...

All I can tell u is that it is The Revolution - Wendy & Lisa can plainly be heard on background vox, and hazarding a guess, mine sounds as if it is possibly around 1985/86 era???

It lasts just under 9mins, and seems 2 segueway half-way thru with Prince and the girls riffing on 'Roadhouse Garden' over and over...

All i know about this is that 'Roadhouse Garden' was the (supposed) 'new' Revolution album that never materialised, and that this song has very rarely been performed - anybody have any details of any other performances, history of the song, etc etc?
(rabidly): ANYTHING!


It's been an amazing thing this week 2 discover this piece of purple cool (u all know that feelin - so u know what Im talking about right now!) so ANY info on the above thread title will be most appreciated.

COME ON guys, educate me on this one!

PS: ANYONE HAVE THE LYRICS 2 THIS?

Our destiny: Wendy and Lisa reworked the live recording from june 7 , 1984 at Sunset Sound over 3 days , september 27th to 29th 1984.
They composed a string portion 4 the song and conducted a 9 piece string section.
Prince liked the string part so much that it was lifted and inserted as an interlude on Around the world in a day (between "pop life" aznd "the ladder").

Thanx Jimi - interesting stuff. Shame the 109 lurkers up 2 now aint got a thang 2 say tho - I dont believe 4 one minute that that's ALL the info available from orgers

*come-out-come-out-wherevere-u-are-edit*

I asked Wendy what the name for the song actually was and she said it was just Roadhouse Garden.

EH? When did u ask Wendy that? Cool!
Thanx 4 the info - VERY much appreicated.
PLEASE keep it coming!
