It's more than possible Prince stipulated that posting these clips and whatnot was perfectly OK with him once he passed.

Eye was just thinking that the Lovesexy show posted above would be a great video 2 show 2 somebody who wanted 2 c what the fuss was about. Eye imagine there's a whole generation 'o' Prince fans who have absorbed the albums who r having a great time on U Tube checking out things they've not seen b4.

Wait which link was the lovesexy show? This was a video or a DL?

There was a U Tube embed of it above.

erykah badu poem -
http://www.vibe.com/2016/04/erykah-badu-prince-poem
That time Prince was your rhythm guitaristthen sent you the picture. The time Prince was so gracious to come to your club in the hood of South Dallas and play for 4 hours into the night...The time you recorded "Today -the earth song"at Paisley Park.All the times y'all shot pool and argued over religion. The time Prince got in your Lemo to tell you that 'World Wide Underground ' wasn't finished yet and you 'felt a way'. Lol The time Prince "evolved " and wouldn't sign yo mama's 'Dirty Mind' album cover cause he said he wasn't into that no mo and yo mama told him"well you shouldn't have made it then" and you were embarrassed. The time Prince had a "swear jar" and you just put a 20 dollar bill in it when you walk in. The time Prince and Larry Grahm had you cornered in a Jehova's Witness...well, witness session.The time you presented Prince with the ICON Billboard AWARD with 20 (Janell Monáe). The time you sang "I wanna be your lover" on the 3rd grade talent show wearing a swim top and the teachers cut you short because it was "inappropriate". The moment you remember how much he means to you... You've been here all my life . And You will live F O R E V E R in my cells.Sometimes it snows in April?

The Bruce cover is nice; but holy cow, Nils Lofgrin's solo is incredibly powerful heartfelt stuff.
― Three Word Username, Sunday, 24 April 2016 21:26 (eight years ago) link
Yup. And to think only last week I was enjoying listening to Nils's upbeat goofy side on "I Came To Dance."
― PiL Communication (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 April 2016 21:30 (eight years ago) link
As they approached the solo I thought, ok, here's Bruce about to tear out something amazing. But then, one of Bruce's strengths as a bandleader is knowing who to throw it to at crucial moments. Nils absolutely nailed it.

He's obviously just happy to use prince to attack the monarchy but I did not expect Morrissey to pay tribute quite so fiercely!

I just realized how my brain breaks down Prince eras. Does anyone else's resemble this?
The first two albumsDirty Mind thru Purple RainAround the World... thru LovesexyBatman and Graffiti BridgeNPG albumsRest of the 90sThe 00sThe 10s
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 24 April 2016 22:10 (eight years ago) link
Same for me
I don't think Morrissey said a word about bowie....
― StillAdvance, Sunday, 24 April 2016 22:12 (eight years ago) link
Didn't think so, and they knew each other.. Odd bird, that Moz.
Anyway, Prince yeah..

Maybe no one told him?

i def don't consider Dirty Mind and Purple Rain the same era unless there were only 3 or 4 eras...The Revolution/Wendy & Lisa era very much its own thing.
― some dude, Sunday, 24 April 2016 22:18 (eight years ago) link
Oh, rthosde Prince eras work for me, although from yr NPG section I'd have..
Diamonds to ChaosEmancipation to ummAh, anyone?

Well there's diff revolution phases just as there were several NPG phases...

FB recommends "WATCH: Adam Levine Performs Incredible Prince Tribute." Thanks, think I'll pass. But did take its recommendation to go to Huffpo to read about how Prince got Eric Clapton out of a depression.

the adam levine thing is old and... not as good as people seem to want it to be. but yeah it's suddenly everywhere.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Sunday, 24 April 2016 22:31 (eight years ago) link
That phases breakdown is basically mine but I go dirty mind thru 1999 and purple rain through SOTT, then lovesexy and batman are a pair.

It has a few good songs - especially the Gwen Stefani duet. Not as horrible as some of his later records.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 25 April 2016 00:51 (eight years ago) link
20Ten is, to me, the last of his truly solid one-man-band albums. It's definitely the last one where he seemed to have fun recording.

yeah Prince actually even kept most of the COVERS of his songs off of Spotify so you get Cyndi albums/comps with only "When" missing, Sinead albums with "Nothing" missing, etc.

I can't recommend highly enough the 34 CD "Work It" series--chronological of all the extant demos and outtakes they could find...discs one through 14 are the stuff up through Lovesexy. Google and follow the links, I don't want to link to it.
― Iago Galdston, Monday, 25 April 2016 12:56 (eight years ago) link
Oh man. I spent pretty much all day yesterday listening to Prince. This morning I put buy music back on album shuffle, which is how I usually listen, and the first thing it gives me out of thousands of potential options is Bowie's "Blackstar." Creepy.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 25 April 2016 13:36 (eight years ago) link
i was thinking that while its nice to have his bootlegs and live videos on youtube, i still dont think the official albums should be there. im prob in the minority with this, but i hope his lawyers take them down again.
http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7341816/prince-number-1-and-2-on-billboard-200-albums-chart-very-best-of-purple-rain-albums
As noted in Billboard's earlier story forecasting the likely No. 1 coronation of The Very Best of Prince, his albums are selling incredibly well not just because of the artist’s extraordinary popularity, but also because his music has limited availability on streaming services and YouTube. The only streaming service with access to his songs is Tidal. And, as noted in Billboard magazine’s cover story about Prince in 2013, finding classic videos or performance footage of Prince on YouTube or anywhere else on the Web is difficult. "I have a team of female black lawyers who keep an eye on such transgressions," Prince said at the time. "And you know they’re sharp," he added with a laugh.
Thus, for many -- outside of listening to his music on the radio -- the primary way to experience Prince’s music is to purchase his albums and songs
