Back in the day, how did Prince perform tracks like Head or Automatic? I've only ever seen videos of electronic fuelled songs like these so I'm curious as to how the guy performed them on stage. I'm talking right-back-in-the-day when he was pimping these tracks prio to or just after the album release.
Considering the instrumentation I've been brought up with (dating from the DnP tour sad to say) I wondered if Prince used the same level of rawk/jammism when giving Head or Automatic etc. - or did he use loops and stuff? Just curious! He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. - Albert Einstein | |

During Head..he stroked and gave his guitar head..one of his greatest moves if not the greatest for him...Jimi fucked his geetar, Prince gave his head "Climb in my fur." | |

yeah Heads not only THE jam, but the lude crap of today lacks the wit that P had (and I reckon still has, albeit hidden in his leather briefcase somewhere) So Marrk, *whispers in your ear so's Handclaps' don't hear me* where can I get's me some City Lights from???

cool, maybe I'll take a stroll down P2P'sville. I've only got Small Club, and I managed to burn the tracks in the wrong order on disc...

Sorry Prince, but Jimi seems to think it works better with your teeth.

Might I also recommend the boot Jack U Off? Another excellent document of early Prince at his rawest. Worth it just for Annie Christian. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
