I just got finished watching the electric chair performance from saturday night live, back in 89' and I couldn't believe my eyes after seeing how Prince was mighty fine without facail hair, it was a brilliant performance and I would recommend anybody to watch it, if you don't already have it, then you can see what I see, when I say got dammit he was fine ... you know I have to admit y'all , this is the prince I miss, I know he married and everything but dayum, can I still request a shake ya ass on the stage every once a while...

I have to agree. I like him better without facial hair. And he looked SO comfortable with himself during that performance. Like it was nothing but fun. Even though he sang, "primes of passion" instead of "crimes."

I don't know about the facial hair or if he's fine... I like that performance though..

I would have to take Patrice Rushen from that performance and leave Prince for you P.MAMA

There's been threads on the Saturday Nite Live "Electric Chair" performance. It's one of Prince's best TV performances. The band sounded good, Prince looked comfortable, it was live, the choreographed steps looked great.

never seen it... is it recent...

pejman said:

Man, that joint is about 14 years old, but it's cool.

namepeace said:

just kidding, I recorded it that night...has it been 14 years already... P's hair is still black...he must be usin the hair dye by now

EXCELLENT performance!! Always made me laugh that it's this intense rocking performance and then at the end, P does that kind of cheesy smile and goofy bowing thing. One of Michael B's first performances with P right? Love that little drum break in the middle of the last verse (after the "all the time I was watching you" line). Only question: does anyone hear Candy's sax in the performance? She's on stage...

My favorite will always be "Party Up" on SNL back in 1981. Total Punk Rock.

Facial hair makes P look better in my opinion. And some longer hair is great 2. He looks better 2 me now then he did when he was half the age he is now. He used 2 look...well...let's just say.he looks better now...My opninion ofcourse.
