Does anybody have the original video of his gig? i believe this is a real masterpiece by Prince🎉

I love how prince live is a completely different experience than the original recordings. This is amazing

This recording is awesome. If the original version is anything like this it was surely an undiscovered hit. Great rhythmic feel and use of space. It has pauses which are cool. It breathes and doesn't get too repetitive. Great move on his part.

That funky guitar 🎸 work is BEYOND AMAZING and 2nd 2 NONE! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What an interesting 1981 arrangement, post Dirty Mind. Such a different feel from the original sweet baby Prince version of ‘78. Genius.

HE WAS THE BEST

Damn this one almost has a Jamaican/reggae feel to it!

Can someone help me pick my jaw up off the floor please? 😮

I’m eternally grateful for what I got witness from this man. 💜

Saw Prince perform this song live just before he hooked up with Rick James. It was a cool concert.

Wow it’s like a funkier reggae versions. I love it.. amazing

2023 first time I heard this song, first time listening to the album. This is my favorite on it, and it's just over 2 mins. I actually liked the LP version over the live, but the album version could have been expanded. *note: I'm an 80s baby

Impressive. Always loved the song, this different arrangement could have been a hit.

Incredible, and in my opinion way better than the OG

That song is so sexy. The guitar rhythm is kinda anticipatory and then goes back to the hook/chord.

Prince should have put this song on one of his albums, Controversy or 1999 album. I think this might of turned into a single; it has a good mid-tempo groove. But it reminds me of some of the songs/music from the “I Wanna Be Your Lover” “Sexy Dancer” album.

I don't think this is the live recording from Sam's in March of 1981. There's another recording that was circulating (audience) of that entire show. This is entirely different live performance.

Some say it was about vanity because he didn't understand her mood swings before finding out about the cocaine use. Not sure if it's true since they met in 1979-80.

Sounds like Quincy Jones was in the audience during this performance, that riff sounds way too much like MJ “PYT” which happened to come out in “82 a year later after this show 🤔🤔
