I was just wondering why he never plays any songs from this album live?

Except the lil snippet of the greatest romance at the millenium eve gig

is he ashamed of this album??

what are your views?

I have seen him perform:

Baby Knows
Pretty Man
Rave
TGRES
Hot Wit U
Man O' War
Everday Is A Winding Road
I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore

and there may be others that I can't think of right now.

I have recordings of Baby Knows, Pretty Man, Rave, TGRES, Man O War, and I Love You But I don't Trust You anymore. Not all at one show of course.

The interesting concert was Rave un2 the year 2000. Despite the name there is only one song from Rave (Baby Knows) played on the video.

Personally, I can't imagine most of Rave being interesting live.

maybe its because the album sucks? Also no one bought it so why would he play any of it live to an audience sitting on their hands?

Loved the versions of 'Baby Knows' and 'Prettyman' that were shown on TFI Friday at the time of the albums release. Was anybody on here there? Did he just play those 2 tracks? Anyone?

there were quite a few people from p.org. I arranged 12 tickets through the producers and then held a draw to hand out the tickets.

only problem was "unique" spending most of the afternoon chatting up Melanie Sykes (and failing)

yes they were the only two tracks he played that day.

I never knew he performed Rave live though,where was that?

I'm ashamed of that album for him. Greatest Romance is a beautiful song. Excellent singles choice.

Infamous Paard van Troje aftershow. The Small Club boot.

I saw most of these performed during the Friday night parties at Paisley Park in 99-00.

I can't think of a reason he'd perform them now.In hindsight, he probably thinks they're awful. at least he should do anyway.

He played 'I Love U, But I Dont Trust U' a few times on the ONA shows.
He played Tangerine at Celebration 2002 during his acoustic set.
He played 'Pretty Man' at the Celebration in 2000.

hehe,ok,true,I was thinking of him playing Rave live since the release of the RU2TJF album ,ie in the last few years

He played it twice at PP parties in 1999.

he played TGRES too.

The Title track and The Greatest Romance should be played live..

Those two are the best tracks on the album, also I love u but..

I think that Rave 2 the Joy Fantastic would have been a great show opener.

He played some of the songs from Rave at the Mill City Music Fest in Minnie when the album dropped.

The crowd was huge. The crowd was drunk.

does anyone have any mpeg footage of any live performances from the RAVE album??

Beautiful Strange - regularly and brilliantly played at aftershows last year.
