Yo, while me and Q-Tip were performing 'Vivrant Thing' in Vegas last night...this n-a Prince walked out on the stage, took the guitar from our guitar player and just started rocking! None of us knew he was there until he popped up on the stage...then the n-a vanished like Batman, LOL!
The sound crew said Prince was in the balcony watching the show from the very beginning (The balcony was closed off). Then when 'Vivrant Thing' came out, he just came backstage and walked out on stage.
None of us knew what was happening, then when we finished the show he was gone LOL!

With the amount of stuff going on in the background it sounds like he recorded over the top of something. In case anyone is wondering what the reverse bit at ~3:30 is, it's Prince saying "contracts just make you smaller".
― might seem normal but is actually (snoball), Friday, 26 February 2010 17:41 (3 years ago) Permalink
the problem with all of prince's stuff from the 90s on is that i think he fundamentally misunderstands what made him great at one time.
he's a great minimalist that thinks he's a maximalist.

ha i knew i'd told this on ilm before:
This is a second hand story, but amusing nonetheless. I was wokring a temp job in college, and my supervisor was an pretty attractive woman a few years out of college at the time....Anyway, this was when Glam Slam was still in operation in Minneapolis and Prince still owned it etc...She and her friends went out to dance at Glam Slam, and she was wearing a catsuit apparently. A security guard said that Prince wanted to meet her and so she agreed to go to Prince's private lair in the club cuz she was a fan.....In any case, Prince was reclined, surrounded by his "people" so the security dude took her over to Prince. Apparently, Prince just kinda looked her up and down without saying anything for an uncomfortably long period of time. Then he finally asked the question: "Is that a MYSTERY suit?"....
She was baffled, and finally just said, "Um....yeah...I guess." Then more uncomfortable silence, and when it became apparent that she wasn't going to instantly start stripping and having sex with him, the security dude said she should probably go back to her friends.
