thank you.

the horns here really speak to me..

>the horns here really speak to me..

really gives this song a sort of "film noir" sort of feel; it was a very good arrangement. I immediately went to the versions of the song I had on deck to compare.

Your forehead is shiny but dont get it twisted..you are still sho nuff ashy. Burnt ashed up elbows and knees no doubt. And as much shit as you talk you know you smell like you got doo-doo in your mouth.

You disqualified from this cap session for piggybacking off my "stank breath" theme.

thats funny

why is it cool he did that?

>why is it cool he did that?


Because he is recognizing die hard favorites. Regardless if you liked the version he played etc. Stop acting brand new.

foh. you really are butthurt i think TRC is trash, huh?

and then

releasing a vastly inferior version of the song didn't do anyone any favours.

Whats TRC got to do with this? You do say you hate this you hate that lately. I don't care if you like it or not. It aint that crucial. Because I dont agree with you now I gotta be 'butthurt." Okay lol.

this is a prince thread and i assumed that's what you were referring to.

because otherwise i don't know what the hell you're talking about.

i dj, do a podcast, hang out in mumu, listen to music most of the goddamn day.

on the contrary, i love music

and i'm passionate about it.

That arrangement takes all the emptiness and sadness out of that once beautiful song.

Granted the recording is a rehearsal, the lyrics again take the loneliness and vulnerability of the original and completely throw it all out.

Whatever - he needs collaborators.

you are so gotdamn negative......that arrangement was GOOD especially considering that it is from a past unreleased song.

>you are so gotdamn negative......that arrangement was GOOD

>song.


hahaha... I'm just a negative person right?

Please explain the part where you say the arrangement was good especially considering that it is from a past unreleased song?

What the hell does that even mean?

Prince is bored and appears to be running through the motions these days - part of the problem are dorks like you who give the guy a pass on everything.

Have a nice day!!!

http://www.soundcloud.com/jaydeep-bhadra

there is nothing to explain.....the arrangement with the horns and voices used on the rehearsal sounded good. for you to say that Prince is just going through the motions, you are just a person that loves to nitpick and find fault in every fucking thing. again, as negative as they come......

I mean I'm not even saying he is but it just seemed like a weird time to give that strawman rebuttal.

Oh, Princey...you so baffling.

Wait...look...

This sounds like a super tame version of the show I saw in Oakland last year.

lol

The irony is u would have thought that Prince gave a shit show from the headline...But it seems like the big "issue" with the gig after the reviewer waxes poetic about how great of a performer he was for the first two hours or so of the gig, is the encore...

Think about that...They beefing about an encore...lol

There's another review floating around from a Chicago publication Chicago Now....And this was their "beef" :

"Sans his stellar band, Prince sang brief snippets of some of his biggest hits ("When Doves Cry," "I Would Die 4 U," "Sign 'O' the Times," etc.) over samples rolled out by his DJ. His band was nowhere to be seen... which was a shame. As a student of music, Prince is clearly quite aware that electronic dance music is all the rage right now. This felt like a calculated effort to show fans that he gets that, that he's "hip." But the thing I've always admired about Prince is that he made that seem effortless. The moment Prince steps on a stage, that much is obvious."

Now this^^^^ is laughable...Prince has been doing that sample part of that show off and on (some nights he does it and some nights he's in full-on band mode) since 2007. This should come as no surprise when he brings that box out...

Again, this is puzzling...How is he trying to appeal to electronic dance music fans for something he was doing before the dance music scene took over the mainstream?

Prince has indeed given lackluster shows in the past...Hey, even Superman gets his cape pulled...But if the biggest beef a reviewer has about a show is that it took dude 25 minutes to get back onstage, I don't know what that means...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

I'm not talking about the Rollingstone article...I'm talking about Chicago Now...

As for Rolling Stone, the beef seemed to be this...

"over the course of his two-hour set he continually ceded choruses, verses, entire songs to his trio of backup singers and the audience."

Again, has this person ever attended a Prince show?

It's a strange beef...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

>Again, has this person ever attended a Prince show?

>It's a strange beef...

During the late 90's I saw "Jam of The Year" shows in both Austin, TX. & San Antonio that were some serious snoozers. The Rolling Stone review reminded me of those shows.

I've seen dude maybe 6-7 yrs ago in San Jose and felt like I was in the world's biggest T.G.I. Friday's. That was around "Musicology" or something where the material was just a blandido as I'd ever seen, so he covered that schitt up quick with corny ass acoustic versions of "Little Red Corvette" and that like, that was just #NAW.

It's as if Prince has "I'm pushing an album" shows, and also updated versions of the "Hit & Run" tour.

He caught so much flack for those super medley heavy J.O.T.Y. shows that part of the marketing campaign of later tours were "No Medley's".

At this point...there's no "new" material he's passionate about selling to fans old or new, he's not really hurting for money (a la paying for a divorce, in the red w/ Paisley Park, etc.), nobody has really lit a competitive fire under his competitive ass (Voodoo vs. The Rainbow Children was real to him), he's quasi pushing the Andy Allo/Van Jones agenda, it IS Chicago...so he might be trying to get his "Soul Man" on in lieu of getting his "I'm The Bruce Lee of Music" funk/rock/pop/songwriter workshop on (these by the way are THE BEST PRINCE SHOWS YOU WILL SEE NOWADAYS, considering whichever agenda he's serving).

So...yeah. Hard to tell who this particular "Prince" is from the show reviews and his appearance on the View last week...but, if I go to any of his shows, I'm expecting some sick ass guitar playing, a dope ass piano segment, a song or two where he's KILLING a bass guitar, and maybe he's jamming on some drums or percussion for 1/2 a tune. Didn't sound like none of that happened.

Sounds like he's bored.

I speak "Prince",yo.

Which is weird, because you responded to his post with just the rollingstone article & went into 'the reviewer' like we should have gotten that transition.

I don't think a review stating he found the show to have too many medleys, lacking energy, relying too heavily on his band (who aren't exactly the '77 P-Funk Earth Tour lineup) & a show 'lacking on Prince' is a 'strange beef' I just think its the opinion of that reviewer & based on the overall tone it sounds like they've been to enough P shows to compare it.

What's frightening is that he's been doing the same stadium show since 2007!!!

Every tour prior to that lasted only a year max - this guy is running around doing the same show for 5 years.

Can you not see that he doesn't really care for this anymore!?!?!?!?

Now all the people that went to the first show are going to bitch and moan, when he kills the later shows as he settles in with the sound, etc

It gets old, but the segment of prince fans do is whine and cry about how much he sucks, yet they be at every concert buying up all the tickets running around at the show dressed like prince sitting on row three

dude is 54, you better enjoy it will you can, once he is gone
oh wait there is always Frank Ocean singing about sucking dick

(he might have been, you never know Prince nowadays)

whenever theres a very bad review of a Prince show it probably has to do
with the sound being horrible.. and this seems to be the case :

"Prince's management would like to apologize for any discrepancies in the quality of the sound last night.

Personnel changes were made after the concert hence the long delay after the show. (Equipment was set up very late at the House Of Blues Afterjam because of this. Andy Allo took the stage at 3 a.m. and the police were shutting down the venue around 3:30 before Prince & The NPG could perform.) Everyone could tell Prince & The NPG were ready to give 150%, They are feverishly working on Prince's clone as well to give 150%.

Prince LOVES all his fans in Chicago and will do whatever is necessary to bring the best possible experience."

Don't know how any Prince fan could diss this...

In a rehearsal no less...This is "cool"...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

The New Power Generation is old enough to have spawned a new generation now. Shit just harks back to his 90's cheese phase.
