Has Prince covered any Bootleg material in Concert?

I've never been to A concert,but I have alot of unreleased music.
If you've been. List the unreleased songs he's covered.
I remember he did Possesed! Has he ever done anything from HIGH?
Just thought I'd ask? If he hardly does, List what U would like to hear.
We all want a big hit again because
we want to relive the Hysteria & Pandemonium we experienced
when Purple Rain was Hot. Actually, he doesn't care if it happens again or not.

He's performed "Vavoom" and "The Daisy Chain" at PP parties, but I wouldn't call those unreleased as they are official singles. He also performed Empty Room alot on the last tour but again he released it as a download so it's kind of released also.

He pefromed "Broken" at one of the City Lights concerts.

Yeah. 'Bob George' and 'Superfunkycalifragisexy' were both performed during the Lovesexy tour. At the time (1988) these songs had never been released.

I think an unreleased song was played backwards over the loudspeakers at the beginning of the Purple Rain concert shows.

Didn't he do "When Will We Be PAid" during the Hit n Run Tour?

going way back:

He was performing the horn line from "Rockhard in a Funky place" coming back form the guitar break in "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" in the SOTT concerts... and rapping part of "Superfunkycalifragisexy" during "Beautiful Night" in the movie version of the SOTT concert.

He has performed "The Ball" once at an aftershow, but I have not heard.

From "High" times, I would like ot hear... "High" "Vavoom" and most of all "Supercute"

P also sang a few words from the unreleased/uncirculating version of "Feline" in the middle of a ferocious jam with The Revolution during a one-off gig at Minneapolis' 7th St Entry in '84.

Yup. And also, Crystal Ball was played pre-concert during Jam of the Year to hype the CB album.

'Funky' was a staple of the European '98 concerts as well. The Marbella gig features a great lengthy version of this Exodus-era outtake.

He did the start of Moon Beam Levels during the piano portion of a 1983 concert. I think it was 3-28-83 Long Beach, but I'm not sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, (which I am most of the time biggrin ), but wasn't the Black Album withdrawn on the day of its release, but only after a few copies had already been sold (hence all the bootlegs) thus making it an official release which would mean that technically the songs mentioned weren't bootlegs at the time. Can anyone follow my train of thought? Or am I pissed again? lol

I think it was pulled one week after it was released.

I had no idea what the hell was being played at the LS concert, but my friend Eric did..and mentioned the Bob George and Super piece. He was way ahead of me in regards to Prince. He used to say "Robert, you just don't know!" Apparently.

Looking back at what I know now as to what I knew then, he was dead on it! Funny, I have not talked to him in years, but I am sure he is still a huge P fan...might even lurk here or elsewhere.

That is one of the songs I WOULD DIE to hear live. Never thought he did that song.

I know he previewed Come at an after party...this was before it came out. He seemed to test new material on the fans.

The Black Album was never released (until 1994). It was said that a bunch of albums (bout 100-500) had been pressed already and passed out to some radio DJ's for promo purpose and then about a week later Prince decided not to release it. There were stories of a buch of copies actually being stolen from Warners or Paisley Park in the latter part of '87

Didn't he perform a snippet of some bootlegged Jimi Hendrix tune when it hadn't even officially come out on the posthumous Hendrix records? Does anybody remember?
