Has Prince ever performed any of the NPGMC downloads from "back in the day" live? Like Silicon, When eye lay my hands on u, peace etc?

Some songs available for download (and in no other format) have been performed live - including Paisley parties and aftershows:

Off the top of my head:

The Daisy Chain
Funky Design
Mad
Vavoom (I think, but not certain)

and some lyrics from 'Y Should I Do That ..." were recited during the first Celebration concert, 2000.

That's all? Mad? Isn't that from somewhere else? Or was that a DL as well? Maybe I'm think of Mad Sex. And Funky Design...isn't that pre NPGMC. I thought I had that song way before the club was open.

'Mad' and 'Funky Design' both predated the NPGMC by some while and circulated as bootlegs originally as well as being played live during the '90s, so they were quite well known by some fans before NPGMC launched.

These songs then featured as downloads during the first year of the Music Club, which I believe was their only official release.

Although there are quite a number of songs which emerged through NPGMC most have either also been made available in other forms too e.g. 'The Rainbow Children' album, 'Hit 'N Run' single tracks on CD - so they aren't exclusively NPGMC releases or they've not been played live.
