Who is Making this Music? PRINCE!

[Ultra]

Eddie Van Halen

No.  This fellow is known for more than his guitar prowess.

[Otto Puzzell]

Who - Eddie or the Mystery Man?

Mystery Man.

I'm down to three:  Neil Young, B.B. King, and Clapton.  My guesses, in order, would be Young, Clapton, King.....

All three incorrect.

The artist rocks, doesn't he?

[Rich]

Chuck Berry?

[Ultra]

Chuck Berry?

The Artist formerly known as Hendrix, Santana, Satriani, Van Halen, Clapton, Chuck Berry, BB King, Joe Perry and Billy Gibbons rocks, doesn't he?

[Rich]

You're kidding me.....PRINCE?

[Boxer2500]

Prince can really rock the house when he wants too. This year may be the rare occasion where I actually watch the half time show at the Super Bowl.

[Ultra]

You're kidding me.....PRINCE?

Prince Rocks!

Here he gives his take on The Rolling Stones' Honky Tonk Woman.  That was taken from "The Undertaker" bootleg release.



No I am not kidding you, Rich.  The original sample is from the famous "Small Club" aftershow bootleg from early 1988.  Prince and the Revolution with Sheila E, daughter of Pete Escovedo, joining them on percussion.   You are hearing Instrumental Jam from Disc 1 in the original sample.   I have the entire bootleg if you are interested.

Het Paard Van Troje, The Hague, Rotterdam, Holland

Disc 1
Instrumental Jam
D.M.S.R.
Just My Imagination
People Without
Housequake
Down Home Blues

Disc 2
Cold Sweat
Forever in My Life
Still Will Stand All Time
I'll Take You There I
I'll Take You There II
Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic

It is no secret that this is arguably the most essential bootleg
recording in circulation for Prince fans. It is first and
foremost on my personal list of favorites. Even though there are
now a plethora of soundboard recordings available from nearly
every tour, this is a perfect recording of a coveted aftershow.

The show itself is a true aftershow classic, with everything we
could ask for in a performance: killer guitar solos (Rave Unto
the Joy Fantastic & Just My Imagination), great vocals (Still
Would Stand All Time), lots of Boni Boyer, and a couple of
unreleased songs (People Without, etc..). This is Prince at his
physical and performing prime. Looking back I would have to say
that 1987-88 featured him at his best more consistently that any
other time of his career.

The Undertaker

Prince originally intended to give this live CD away free with 1,000 copies of Guitar Player Magazine in 1994, but he was told by Warner Brothers that he couldn't. Some rare copies were leaked and heavily bootlegged.

The album's track list is as follows:

    * "The Ride"
    * "Poor Goo"
    * "Honkey Tonk"
    * "Bambi"
    * "Zannalee (Prelude)/The Undertaker"
    * "Dolphin"

BONUS!  I included a rare, unreleased studio track entitled "Endorphin Machine" from that same era.  All of the first 6 tracks segue together so they should be listened to in this order.

Prince's latest song:

Guitar

And a killer live perfomance of The Ride, in a trio in Vegas, Sheila E. on drums, in suits and ties with NO pooty stuff.

Otto, in regards to your PM, did you download the mp3's from this thread?

[Ultra]

Rich,

Did you listen to the mp3s of the Undertaker bootleg?

[Rich]

Nope...hoping to this weekend...slammed for time, as usual....

BTW, IMO, he was the best part of the Super Bowl...and I'm not a fan....just thought his professionalism was obvious and the fact that there were no, uhh, "taped enhancements" to the performance was a testament to his talent.  I'm tired of seeing professional karaoke at these types of events.....

'xactly!

[Boxer2500]

The consensus I've seen in the various Super Bowl write-ups is that it was the best halftime show in the history of the game.

Given the utter craptitude of most halftime shows, I'm in no position to disagree.

The Small Club files have begun to upload and should be available later this evening.  I will post the links when the upload is complete.

SO...would anyone be interested in bootlegged Randy Rogers Band or Robert Earl Keen?

[GRAYWOLF]

Don't tell me I don't know how to kill a thread!!!
