The show I saw was fantastic as well, but some idiot yelled something out during the aforementioned "April" and it made me nearly homicidal.

I don't really understand why they have to look for a new buyer when the rights are, apparently, already owned by warner bros?

Like I totally get umg backing out because of the warner factor but why doesn't warner move in and start developing projects

The crazy syncopated hi-hat in the Time's "777-9311," is that Prince "playing" the drum machine pads manually? You couldn't program something that complex back then, could you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byzlQMpOr4M
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
Oh snap, posted March 2014:
The Time-777-9311 Was A Stock Drum Beat In Prince's Linn LM-1 ($5,500 drum machine you know it wasn't The Time's)The beat was programed into the Linn LM1 by David Garibaldi from for Roger Linn. The phone number was Dez's home number and he was very pissed at us all.LovePeaceJesse
Oh snap again, from the comments to the video below:
Actually I asked Jellybean recently....He came to a show I play In in Vegas... He said Dave Garibaldi programmed the Drum Machine and Prince layed down the hi hat part... Believe it or not... He did laugh and tell me he's been playing it live for the last 25 years... Blew me away....

Oh shit. That rings a bells (maybe I heard that once and forgot it), but also shatters some dreams. I feel like I've also heard people say Prince played it in (could you even play the buttons on a Linn in real time, or just sequence?).

― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 20:30 (six years ago) link
Oh ok, so both are true! The hi-hat is the real genius part anyway. I still wonder if it was played or programmed.

just everything...i mean obv the performances are crazy good but the weird "story" staging...the weird red haired sax guy who wears a druid robe for part of it? lite jazz charlie parker cover? it's got everything
seriously though Cat Glover...I wonder how many calories she burned a night? her energy level through the whole show insane (Prince and Sheila being not far behind)

Yeah I got it, just started reading it yesterday. First chapter is a great and elaborate interview with engineer/studio owner Chris Moon, describing meeting a teenage Prince (in the context of the band Champagne recording in his studio), getting in touch with him and subsequently working/developing/teaching in the form of a collaborative project, if you will, to develop him as an artist. Can't wait to read the rest. Great photos, too.
― willem, Friday, 13 April 2018 11:48 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I read the Duane Tudahl book a couple of months ago. It's astonishing that in that single year of work he basically wrote and recorded all of Purple Rain, Ice Cream Castle, Apollonia 6, Around the World in a Day and dozens of B-sides and other material. Plus filmed the movie. And toured. An absolutely mind-blowing level of being prolific.
