Im listening to Villanova Park! Case of you should be up there with Small Club!

Me and my girl friend were up after a recent shopping trip when I picked up this bootleg gem. This has to be the best Ive heard hin play this tune. I never liked how he didnt sing the whole song and start with the middle of this great tune. This totaly reminds me of still would stand all time on the small club boot.Anyone else hears this?

Villanova Park by Global FunkSchool,

He doesnt sing the whole song but plays a long intro to make up for it, trust me, I never understood why he didnt play the whole tack but here he makes up for it Just My Imagination style!

Looks like a very cool setlist- I'm jealous. What's Villanova Junction like?

This sure ain't my favourite boot ...
I'm more into the funky stuff,
and this boot sure ain't funky!
I have a little regret buying this one.

At the end he's trying to make it funky, but the long jam on "Mad sex" is nothing but boring.

Why does Prince always pick the Hendrix' songs I don't like? And I'm a huge Hendrix' fan.

But if you like Prince's "Rock"-side this would be an outstanding boot.

I'm giving this boot another chance at this moment,
and I have to say

Bambi
Machine Gun
A Case of You
Sexy MF / If I Was Your Girlfriend

are great.

But as a whole this boot can't compete with "Small Club" (which isn't my fave boot neither).
And it still ain't funky.
Five great tracks out of eleven ... does that make a great boot??
I hope I have to come bach to this in a few weeks, and love all tracks ... but I don't think I will

I have the same problems with Hendrix' recordings after the split with the Experience as I have with the Prince recordings nowadays ... they can't match the earlier work.

Machine Gun could have been great as a studio-recording with the Experience ... the live-version with the band of gypsys is a little bit boring.

Prince's version on the boot is fairly good ...

Wow, this is my first post that actualy got a star next to it, does this mean I need to get a life now, or am I in the cult? Just joking of course but this boot is evenly weighed by the outstanding and predictable. I was really taken by a case of you when I listened to it. The guitar work really reminded me of the small club jams. I never understood why he always played case of you starting with the third verse.

P.S. The org needs to have a spell check option, Im horrible.
