I really liked the second Arsenio performance, when
he performed songs from prince

Blue Light
The Max
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

The somewhat recent performance of The Ballad of Dorothy Parker on Jay Leno. That short piano solo was tight!

Yeah, that was P at his best: a dandified, dinky guitar-slayin' brotha in an act of inspired rebellion.

That cloud sounded so good.

And, the raincoat was pretty cool, too.

Now, that's the kinda stuff that I wish I could see again. I remember seeing it as a kid, but I had forgotten a lot of it. There was also stuff that I wish I could've seen like the coverage for the premieres of Prince's first 2 flicks.

Just listing my favorites.. -

* '85 interview on MTV (Live America video after)y
* Chris Rock '96
* 4 The Tears In Your Eyes - (Liveaid) 85 (I guess that
actually a video shown during Live Aid..
* Cream - Aresenio Hall '91 (The whole show was dedicated
Prince. Daddy pop was pretty good too.) This was the
best (my opinion) and first listen by the public to
Cream. I think the recorded single paled in comparision
* Come On (Single and Remix), The Work PT1, The Ballad Of
Dorothy Parker, The Everlasting Now.. (In other
words) - All of the tonight show performances.
* The One - Sinbad '98
* Interactive/Endorphinemachine - VH1 Honors 94
* Getyourgrooveon, Oneofus - Emancipation Premiere
VH1/MTV) '96
* BJB/I hate you/319/Loose performance on AMA award (94)
* Sign O Times/Play in The sunshine-MTV VMA-1987

* OH DUH!!! I almost forgot --- RAVE! UNTO THE YEAR 2000 -
Payperview 12/31/1999....
