He's probably rerecording the backing tracks with Third Eye Girl...

I hated 2014 a whole whole lot and was glad to see the end of it, but I did immediately feel sadness after New Years that it was no longer the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain. And of my favorite pop year in general.

the rofo arena is TINY. 14,000 seats. soooo many people will be shut out, tickets will be scalped to hell, most of the people affected by police violence will not be able to go. i wonder if he tried to do an outdoor show and got denied by the city. tickets go on sale in 2 and a half hours and the price hasn't been announced yet....

Prince has a new album called HITNRUN coming out exclusively on Tidal. I haven't been excited by any of his albums since 3121. Does he have another great record left in him?
― DavidLeeRoth, Friday, 7 August 2015 17:52 (nine years ago) link
no but he likely has several more albums where half is great and half is mediocre

well, he's releasing an album with 3rd Eye Girl in a couple weeks and still tours with them. debuting a song on Spotify (but not Tidal or anywhere else) weeks after pulling his whole catalog from Spotify and putting his music on Tidal is typical weirdo Prince i guess. not clear if this will be on that new album.

I didn't listen to the entire cover because I got annoyed that he was getting the chord progression wrong.

it does sound like he doesnt know the song that well. as though he doesnt know how we wants to play it yet. its okay, though i could have done with a bit less of the synths throughout - it softens it unnecessarily.
― StillAdvance, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 21:01 (eight years ago) link
can't really tell if he's misremembering the lyrics or correcting them

did Joshua Welton work on it? i hated the sound of Art Official Age and the first Hit N Run album so much.
― Shkreli, Martin & Wu (some dude), Tuesday, 15 December 2015 14:03 (eight years ago) link
im guessing so. it's called hit n run 2. i hated the first hit n run already so dont think i will bother with this.

Was it just one big medley? Because that is the kind of BS he has pulled the last two times I saw him.

also, having finally, after all of these years, listened to "Come", I kind of can't believe this isn't widely considered one of Prince's very best albums.

oh man i had a prince week. went to the paramount show and the after show at great american that ended at 4am. holy shit still coming down.

XP Come is great and arguably ripe for a reappraisal. His mid- to late-90s work, so brilliantly captured on The Dawn bootleg, remains my favourite period.
― doug watson, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 01:21 (eight years ago) link
Me too on the love for that album, it's drastically underrated

The Dawn bootleg... sounds interesting! Do I sign up for a Prince forum or is it available elsewhere?

i can't figure out how to download anything from that site.
― akm, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 15:27 (eight years ago) link
The site owner puts a link in the comments to each post which leads to a page where the download links reside.
Also, keep an eye on the Son Of Readers Links page where people post scads of stuff, e.g. a dude working his way through what seems to be the entire NWW List,,,

I'm always torn when people say how awesome Prince was on such and such night, because the last three times I saw him he was insufferable. Didn't play guitar, ceded vox to his backup singers, played his hits in weird rhythm box driven medleys, had a huge horn section that did nothing. I've also seen him be incredible, just not recently.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 16:32 (eight years ago) link
ok yeah finally got ahold of the dawn and it's a great distillation of all of that stuff. really puts everything into an interesting context that flows very well. his output is so confusing and jumbled although it's fine to just throw that shit on and listen I suppose.
