Anyone remember the Simon Bates Radio 1 Special? So do you? It was an amazing 20 minute (or so) performance. Did you go? Anyone got a recording? I have got it on tape somewhere - maybe in the attic.
If I remember right it had a great performance of Peach. | |

Yes - I remember the Simon Bates Show, I also have it on tape. He did a fabulous performance of Pope also. The last person to play a live gig in that studio was Jimi Hendrix and they subsequently banned all further live broadcasts because of the noise.....a special exception was made for Prince. | |

i went to that gig. it was amazing. peach sounded awsome and america also sounded really funky and slightly quicker than normal. i lost my tape of this performance but it was unlike any other show i've ever seen. obviously it was short but i remember the house lights were on and it was pretty intimate due to the size of the room. prince wore a purple suit and basically blew everyone away. a great performance.

I've got some details for you....I climbed up into the attic to find the cassette and borrowed a tape player from someone.
Venue: Concert Hall, BBC Broadcasting House, London Track listing: 1999 Baby I'm A Star America D.M.S.R. Pope Peach Total time 18:51 Line up seemed to be Prince, Michael B, Levi? Who else was there? NPG Hornz? Can anyone tell me what the date was? | |

Yep, bagleys was my first Prince aftershow and it was awful. Is this the concert from "The Sacrifice Of Victor"? I really enjoy that vid "You know, you're the classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain" | |
