Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) rehearsals May/June 1984
maybe, just maybe he should have released this recording and never got caught on a stage afterwards... (just kidding, but... still it crosses my mind...)



i dig ya. something in the water and erotic city from
the 1984 rehearsal are HOt as HOT gets. p is goin' OFF
and its just a practice!

some of my fave leads are in the less is better category:
"pink cashmere,kiss,i'm yours,the JUST my imagination from
paris (87..shorter.little distortion...precise and
passionate) 777-9311 (its p not jesse) why you wanna treat
me so bad (the 12 inch is da bomb) i hate U
rave (the live one from SMALL club)

i agree with hectim...some of the best guitar bits ain't
always leads...rhythm guitar can Be just as good...
p's a BAD ass funk master check these out y'all

"lady cab driver (before the lead comes in)
party up ...i wanna be your lover when you were mine ...
batdance (cool)

Just My Imagination
(Camden Palace, London 1988)
Still moves me even now...
Empty Room '95
(heart-wrenchingly appropriate)

but the best Ive seen him pull off live was:
'Purple Rain' at the American Music Awards in 1985
He just wrung the sh*t outta that guitar like nuthin Ive eva seen, was a fantastic performance (If u havent ever seen it, check it out if ur able!)

the ride on the undertaker video

its got nuthin on the Sarifice Bagleys Warehouse 93 version.
Peach (live @ Bagleys) kicks 2 much ass.

& Endorphinemachine from Bagley's is the best version u will find anywhere
(audience recording but so good u can hardly tell..i couldn't!)

& CallTheLaw at the same gig is off the chain!


Ooo yeah. I just pulled the Bagleys recording out of the attic and I can't stop listening to the encore of Come-Endorphinmachine-Peach.

The Wembley Stadium versions of these songs are hot as well.

The "Billy" guitar stuff is overrated man, it's just Prince playing some very simple guitar chords over and over again...
It's very cool but it's not something really incredible or something... I do however listen to it alot cos it's just nice to hear him play 50+ minutes of guitar...

Something I forgot though is an incredible "Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)" version he did at a rehearsal for his birthday gig in 1984...

Now THAT'll make u weep... actually that whole rehearsal will... Dude was in top form that morning...

Any version of Purple Rain live is always a good start to show how good he is with 6 strings.

What about the Santana medley!!!

I like what he did back in 93 Wembley Stadium (Come-Endorphinemachine-Peach)!

He was playing alot of guitar around 94-95 period, if you can get your hands on any bootlegs, you'll be pleasntly surprised(The Jam/Shhh!/The Ride).

Purple House, She Always in My hair, U Got The Look, The Christ, Purple Rain, Let Go Crazy (RAve 200).

There's too many, and I haven't even mentioned Just my Imagination or Joy in Repition!!

Joy In Repetition - It AInt over
The whole small club album (especially Just My Imagination)
The whole of his acoustic set last year.
Purple Rain - Tokyo 1990
Most of the ONA tour - i think it was a revalation for P to strip down his live act to have him playing all the guitar.
The Everlasting Now has some great guitar work in it on ONA.
ICNTTPOYM - my favourite pop solo - pure exuberance.
Too many to think of really, although i do agree his live guitar work is far more exciting. The worst period IMO was around 94-97. He kept complimnenting a lot of his studio guitar solos with nasty, nasty synth sounds (Gold, The Holy River) which ruined them.

They might be "simple" chords, man...but I can think of worse ways to spend 45 minutes than listening to 'Billy'! sometimes simplicity is really all you need

As for the 'Something In The Water...' guitar solo you are bang on the money, sir nod
