No doubt "It's Gonna Be A Beatiful Night". Much going on in this song (Sheila rap, audience participation) Makes me desire more live Prince. Shake is lame in my books, one of his weakest.

Well the actual live version of Beautiful Night without the overdubs is funky, but I love the humour in U gotta shake something.

Like Cloreen Baconskin, it's a rare candid shot of Prince leading a band and cuttin em down at the same time lol thats why i love rehearsal b-legs


just listen 2 the lines:
"if u decide 2 get in a key, it's E-flat...Grace!"

"you ever see a black man play guitar with no clothes on?!"

"it aint sexy unless u say like dis...'ugggnnhh!'"

"you'll have to excuse levi, he just bought a new car, i'm sorry he just bought a used car."

"here's something for all the white folks [rock guitar solo]" :p

and just the subtle cues he uses to lead the parts

2 funky, hands down headbang
