I missed it due to only being a fetus, but I'm sure some of you can remember catching him in his full-fledged 1999 tour glory. I did catch his performance (or was it a striptease ) of 1999 years later when VH1 ran some reruns of the show. I didn't see the one with the Little Red Corvette performance though. Who can recall those days of the flasy Solid Gold dancers in all their spandex glory, er, as well as Prince's performance?

i've seen it. i have a tape of it. but i've successfully blocked it out, and you can't make me remember if i don't want to

Why? Didn't you like it?

NWF said:

goes with out saying. did anyone ever like any performance ever done by anyone on solid gold?

AaronUniversal said:

not anyone that I'm aware of

I was probably watching Land Of The Lost or The Buggaloos.

yeah, Iwas on vacation in Florida motel room, Iwas fifteen, he sang "little red corvette" straddled the flashing kickdrum,cool.

Yeah, I saw it once only when I was about 7, very cool. From memory, it was just a lip synch performance but a great one

Yeah,I remember seeing him perform "1999" on 'Solid Gold'.It was an awesome performance! There is another episode where he performs "Little Red Corvette",but I missed that one


btw,wasn't 'Solid Gold' a cool show?

I saw him on Solid Gold... I was in 8th grade at that time. That was the first time I had seen him and I thought he was sooo cool .

i have both of the solid gold appearances on tape, but i don't watch 'em very much. the lip-synching makes it pretty odd.

and when he did 1999 either later or before that one he threw the geetar durign th e ending coda and th estage hand caught it etc

My earliest Prince memory is the Solid Gold appearance. I was sitting on my mother's lap in the living room watching but not knowing who he was or how much he would influence me only a few years later.

Yeah, the lip-synching was hard to watch, and he couldn't dance around that much because the stage was too small.

Jill & Lisa's...umm..."moving" on stage during the 1999 performance was hilarious

I sawboth performances the day they were broadcast. I also have them on tape. Both are one of the best Prince performances that I ever saw on TV and I have seen them all on US TV.

anybody have the 1999 performance from solid gold on there hard drive??

org note me:)

Yep, I remember the day these were originally broadcast. We didn't get to see much of Prince back then, so it was very cool to see him on the show.
