Song Deconstruction: Gonna Be A Beautiful Night this was inspired by another post that talked to the rhyme that Sheila
does on this track but was wondering if you all could help me out on this: 1-where was the live version recorded and when? 2-what was the lineup for the live recording? 3-did Prince sing lead on the live version or did Wendy and Lisa? 4-I'm assuming Prince overdubbed his vocals later in the studio, were any other elements overdubbed? 5-the wizard of oz chant--does anyone know the genesis of this? was Prince using this in other songs performed live at the time? 6-any insight on how this song made it on Sign O Times? it seems interesting, since Prince had just disbanded the Revolution to add a Live track with them on it... any other tidbits you can add would be appreciated...i know you folks know more than i'm even thinking about.. thanks alot! | |

U know, i was there in 86', in Paris Le Zenith, and the live version of that song was TOTALLY different than the one on SOTT. And it's obvious, he did later a lot of overdub... | |

whatsurname said: 1-where was the live version recorded and when?
It was recorded at Le Zenith in Paris, France on August 25th 1986... 2-what was the lineup for the live recording?
Prince Bobby Z. - Drums Brown Mark - Bass Wendy - Guitar Miko - Guitar Lisa - Piano Dr. Fink - Keyboards Eric Leeds - Sax Matt "Atlanta Bliss" Blistan - Trumpet Greg Brooks & Wally Safford - "background Vox" 3-did Prince sing lead on the live version or did Wendy and Lisa?
Nobody sung anything Prince was just shouting out cue's and chants... 4-I'm assuming Prince overdubbed his vocals later in the studio, were
any other elements overdubbed? Sheila E.'s rap, various instrumentation and alot was taken out... 5-the wizard of oz chant--does anyone know the genesis of this? was Prince using
this in other songs performed live at the time? Not that I know of... 6-any insight on how this song made it on Sign O Times? it seems interesting,
since Prince had just disbanded the Revolution to add a Live track with them on it... No idea... Only thing I know of is that he planned to release the entire show after the tour... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

Studio overdubs... I forgot Jerome though, he was doing "background vox" with Wally and Brooks... Neversin. [This message was edited Tue May 25 12:47:30 2004 by Neversin] O(+>NIИ<+)O

Yeah, if you listen to the B**T you can hear him say earlier in the show:
"We're recording the show. This is a record. Dig? Ca va?" The raw version is available on an unofficial perf4mance
