- DIAMONDS AND PEARLS out Oct 27, 2023. Order bio.to/Diamond...
The fifth previously unreleased recording to come from the upcoming Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition, this early, sparse version of “Live 4 Love” features different lyrics as well as Prince reciting the rap that Tony M would perform on the released track.
On October 27 the Diamonds And Pearls deep dive exploration will be released via all physical, digital, and streaming partners, with the classic album remastered for the very first time, and featuring 33 previously unreleased studio tracks, live audio, as well as a previously unreleased 2+ hours of video concert performances from Prince’s legendary vault. The reissue suite will be comprised of the following formats:
• Super Deluxe Edition (7CD+Blu-ray / 12LP+Blu-ray / audio-only download and streaming)
• Deluxe Edition (2CD / 4LP 180g vinyl)
• Remastered album (1CD / 2LP 180g off-white “Pearl” vinyl (USA only) / 2LP 180g clear “Diamond” vinyl (ex. USA) / download and streaming)
The set offers a newly remastered version of the album, plus 15 of the incredible remixes and B-sides from the era, including the never commercially released “Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Min.)” mix. The Super Deluxe Edition also features 33 previously unheard studio gems from Prince’s Illustrious vault, ranging from alternate versions of album tracks, to numbers Prince gave away to other artists, and songs recorded while on the road in 1990. Prince & The NPG previewed the Diamonds And Pearls Tour at Prince’s Minneapolis club, Glam Slam, on January 11, 1992. The sweaty, sold-out, last-minute show captures the sheer joy and sense of endless possibility that came to define this era. This previously unreleased live concert performance has been mixed from the 24 track master and rounds out the audio content of the 7CD and 12LP sets. This same previously unreleased concert is also presented in stunning 2K video on the Blu-ray disc that accompanies both Super Deluxe Edition formats, in Stereo, 5.1 Dolby True HD, and Dolby ATMOS audio formats. The Blu-ray also features Prince & The New Power Generation’s performance at The Special Olympics at the Metrodome in Minneapolis in July 1991 (also in Stereo, 5.1, and ATMOS), as well as a previously unseen soundcheck. The Blu-ray is completed by the long out of print Diamonds And Pearls Video Collection, originally released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1992. The 120-page hardback book which accompanies the SDE set features unseen photos by Randee St. Nicholas, and essays by: author & broadcaster Andrea Swensson; Archivist and Senior Researcher for the Prince Estate Duane Tudahl; British music critic and Prince expert Jason Draper; De Angela L. Duff, an Industry Professor at NYU Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn; Social Media Personality KaNisa Williams; and an introduction from Public Enemy founder, Chuck D.

You can always tell when he plays everything himself. It reaches all the way to the depths of your inner soul
I have said it before and I will say it again this man was one of a kind God gave this man a gift it is sad he died so young in which I didn't believe he died the way they said he did and I still don't believe it to this day ? GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER I JUST KNOW YOU'RE STILL SINGING FOR THE O MIGHTY THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC I TRUELY LISTENED AND I COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WAS TRYING TO TELL US IN YOU'RE MUSIC MISS YOU BROTHER WISH YOU WAS STILL HERE 😢❤
Ditto!
I look in the clouds 4 him. Always!!!
LIVE 4 LOVE
NOT HATE.
It's so great to hear how Prince develops his songs. I love it so much when Prince sounds so pure and raw.❤
THE G.O.A.T there will never b another 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Love his falsetto here and the rapping is so clean. Genius doing Genius stuff! 💜🎶🕺🏽🕺🏽
Amazing. Masterpiece. Genius.
A MESSAGE 4 the sign of our times....LIVE 4 LOVE always...Thank U for the upload....And Thank U Mr Nelson 4 sharing ur music with all of us...Much love..💜(+>
Really like this version, stripped back clean vocals.
That drum is out of control. I will forever love this man.
Thank You🌹🌹🌹💜🙏🏼💜😘😘😘..Id never heard either version of this but I use the term "Live4love" very often in everything so this is cool 😊
I dedicate this to Prince fans who are no longer here 🙏 And I Thank Prince for All his hard work he did not die in Vain, Just look at all the love with everyone ,Live for love 💜🤗
For my friend Sharon, gone too soon. 💜
Could not have been said better!
Prince has a lot of beautiful unreleased songs and versions of well known greatest hits. His legacy is immortal!
Would have loved to have had a full blown diamonds and Pearls gig with this deluxe
Always enjoyed this version more than the released one. Its more calm and i can understand what he is saying. The released version just had too much going on in it to be a groove. To quote Prince "the less you touch it...the more it does" while he was talking to Brownmark. Love the original tape and video graphics. Very creative and cool. Applaud that!!!
"The LIGHTER you touch it..."
For me, they both equally have their appeal.
I agree! 💜
this is a masterful gem...guitar licks are awesome
Wow! What a genius at mixing….irrespective of his many other talents
It seems so ! 💞
So so good to hear this mellowed out version which is harder hitting lyrically
amazing !!!
This is dope! It’s so fascinating to see how Live 4 Love started out to what it became. This is genius at work & I’m here for it all! 💜💜💜
Keep ‘‘em coming
Der Engel auf meiner Schulter beginnt mit dem Coaching
„Live 4 Love, ohne Liebe lebst du nicht“
Sweetest Version.... Lauch procedure commence
Countdown start
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4
Keep goin'
Acceleration into temporal space Continuum now begins
30, 000 feet and still-a-counting (live 4 love)
The attack on my plane is steadily mounting (live 4 love)
They killed my buddy, but I'm supposed to feel nothing (live 4 love)
How can I live 4 love? I'm calling
Live 4 love
Live 4 love, I'm calling
Live 4 love, I'm calling
Live 4 love
Kicked out of my home at 17 (live 4 love) (get outta here)
A real family
Now what does that mean (what does that mean) (live 4 love)
Don't nobody know the trouble I've seen (live 4 love)
How can I live 4 love? I'm calling
Live 4 love
Live 4 love
Live 4 love? Calling, I'm calling
Live 4 love
My mission, so they said, was just 2 drop the bombs
Acceleration into temporal space Continuum now begins
Just like I got no conscience, just like I got no qualms
Alpha 7, acknowledge
Now what does that mean
Go Tommy go, go tommy go
Go Tommy go, go tommy go
Go Tommy go, go tommy go
Go Tommy go, go tommy go
So here, my target is approaching
The angel on my shoulder starts coaching
"Live 4 Love, without love u don't live"
Boom - I take a deep breath
Is it boom, life
Is it boom, death
Maybe I was better off staying in school (live 4 love)
But everybody said flying planes was cool (live 4 love)
It's so easy 4 them 2 say
Cuz they never have to go through
How can I live 4 love? (live 4 love) I'm calling
Live 4 love, I'm calling
Live 4 love, I'm calling
Live 4 love
Live 4 love (live 4 love)
Live 4 love
Live 4 love
Damn, I got hit, but I still complete the mission (live 4 love)
I flash upon my whole life just-a-steady wishin' (live 4 love)
The choice u make is vital
So at the end of my recital
I say, u got 2 live 4 love (live 4 love)
Keep goin'
Live 4 love
Live 4 love (live 4 love)
Live 4 love (live 4 love)
Live (live 4 love)
Live 4 love, without love u don't live
And how u make it is based on what you're givin' back
In fact, only a few of us slip through the cracks
Through generations
The cards have always been stacked against us (live 4 love)
2 love each other is a must
If we just trust and cut the fuss
Beleive me, unity is a must
Listen everybody, as I spread the word
Everything is hazy when your vision's blurred
I'm kickin' reality in the streets of the city
There's this mentality what goes around comes around
And gangk any clown who ain't down
With the colors that u're sportin' 'round
Listen G, u are supposed 2 be strivin'
2 be the best that u can be
So stop tryin' 2 dominate and push and shove (live 4 love)
C'mon y'all, we got 2 live 4 love (live 4 love)
VERY interesting! The studio version is such a great track--I am definitely missing the guitar and production, but I find this earlier less produced version really intriguing in its more subtle sounds and vibe.
Thanks for adding the correct version 💜
Glad I listened to the full song. The end of the song is way different than Diamonds and Pearls Beginnings
'I aint' havin' it!' Love hearing the Flow as part of the expended portion.
simply masterpieces - majestic pieces of music
It's a joy to hear - dig into Prince's archives some more and bring it to the table for the loyal fans
Raw Prince is its own vibe
Hott. So amazing. Wowzers.
Great! 👍❤️
Thanks for the update!
Purple guitar hero❤❤❤
#memories 💜
Live 4 Prince!
Prince , this tape is so awesome, another masterpiece, I love it💜💜
Love this song
Great!!!👍✌️🥰❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐🌹🥀🌻🌼🥀✌️
🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜
Sign o the times pt 2 amazing
5:26 Interesting to note that this rap is included in the longer version of 'The Flow' and the live version of 'The Future'. Presumably it's inclusion here is as a 'placeholder'.
raw love 4 life 💜 living 4 love another belter of a track , great footage too
I like this more than the original!
More to love 💕
Man THIS IS DEEP. It's better than the original album version.
I prefer the album version but it's always great to hear these demos and get an insight into how these songs develop.
Love this stripped down version of the song
Never big fan of Prince rappin but here it works💜💯
I agree. Rapping was just not his strength and I don't think his heart was in it, but this spoken word style suits him far better.
Are yall tripping prince can rap better than these rappers today
Best song of Diamonds and Pearls! Amazing take, Prince 4ever!
Truth. Prince was always honest.
Afraid not
good turnaround in this song
Таких как он больше не будет это уникальность
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
better then the LP Version!!!
Tem que postar ,um show completo dessa turnê
Hola soy muy fan de prince y porque no asen una película de el de como empezó su carrera de la música 😮
💜💜💜💜
Peace
The genesis of: rock to the F.L.O.W just like yo supposed 2 do
A much more subdued version than the electrifying album version and live version that just kicks all kinds of butt.
Cool af but gimme the guitars and that solo any day 😊
🎉🎉🎉
LIVE 4 LOVE WITHOUT LOVE YOU DONT LIVE
#Prince4EVER
yessir..
wow 🙃🙃🙃wie geil ist das denn ❤❤❤
This is good but the album version is harder and better .. because he sounded more frustrated
❤
シェアさせていただきます。
I've pre-ordered D&P Super Deluxe Edition. You can too! :)
CD or LP?
@@brianinglis3805 - CD
Early 💜
я не заметила, что начала танцевать. да, заучит, как типичная фраза из компьютерной игрушки. нет, правда, я даже испытала то чувство, при котором ты будто засыпаешь, совсем ни о чем не думаешь, погружён в мысли, только шум прервёт это чувство.
господи, что я высрала?😭
This is cool, but the released version has so much more emotion. You can feel his anger, and desperation… even in the guitar solo
especially from this period, I tend to prefer prince's demo's to the often somewhat over-produced official versions.
I think the lyrics here are solid (here), but the sense of urgency on the official release created a heightened sense of what the narrator was experiencing (in the song).
omg
I wonder if Prince wrote the rap at the end. That was 🔥
Of course he wrote it
Yes.
I think that was freestyled off the dome! 😎
Now is Bad! (in the good, good good way)😊
New version...I think we have 3 versions of this track now.
Пиздатый❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Technically you could call this "Live 4 Love - The Flow".
Go Tommy go go Tommy go go Tommy go. Hey wait, that's the other version. Ha!
The way he sings the chorus on this early version reminds me a lot of "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran. I actually like the vibe of this version better than the one that showed up on the album.
This could be Prince experimenting with early trip hop. Massive Attack’s “Blue Lines” also came out in 1991, and this has a similar groove to tracks on that album.
*Jan 1, 2025* 💜♾🌌
Definitely prefer the finished version but interesting early ver.
The album version's frenetic pace reflects the lyrics. This laid back version doesn't. I can see why he revised the song for the album release.
Yay first comment I think.
I potentially like this version better
Wait. What was the other track released earlier today that was bangin 🧍♂️👁👁
"Get Blue" was the other song.
Also, the album remaster is fully out on streaming, so it might have been the album version of this track, since it was mistakenly placed on this video before they reuploaded it with the correct version.
from 1989
🕊🤍🕊
You did aloof damage
Such an odd song to end on. Especially for that album. This version seems to fit. Sort of.
y'all took 5 hours…😂
💜(+ >
5th of December 1990?
The estate is just trying to make money. I don't think Prince would want some of this stuff released. I'm not saying it's not a good song.
As a hardcore fan for over 40 years ... this was always an average song ..are the estate actual fans or have a working appreciation of his music ..the outtakes thus far have made up my mind not to part with 600 dollars ...i just pray the estste doesnt f up the parade reissue
It seems we have to wait some more for that Parade Deluxe Version, hopefully we'll get the 40th Anniversary edition of Purple Rain the next year (nothing wrong with the previous deluxe version of some years ago, but i feel like it might have been a lot bigger and better), so maybe in 2016 we'll get the Parade Deluxe? Of course i'm just guessing, maybe the Prince Estate have other plans
I'm just glad that the estate is showing the rest of the public that Prince was more than just the '80s. It's a no brainer to release a remastered box set of one of his best selling albums (Diamonds and Pearls) even if some dogmatic Revolution fans may not like it. Cool to see P's estate is beginning to re-release the entirety of the man's work.
I always thought of the narrative that he is telling as his attempt to make a "Major Tom" style aviation/ space exploration song.
Don't know what I'm referring to? Then look it up.
It's about breaking the cycle of negative, destructive behavior and violence.
Not his strongest work. I much prefer the estate working on a Dirty Mind + Controversy reissue.
I'm a Big fan of The Master, but this era was, by far, ones of her poor material. Sorry, this Diamonds and Pearls Deluxe edition IS not for my ears.
Totally agree, not for me!
I agree, too. Regardless what - he’s still THE EPITOME OF MUSIC!
"PARADE" SDE is what I'm waiting for. That era is rich with quality outtakes & concerts
@@hughphillips1427You guys are crazy. So many gems on this set.
@@webstersempire Now your talking, plus an official live version would be fantastic.
In my opinion this is an average song. Nothing special here. Prince did write some great songs but he also wrote some just ok songs as well.
I agree that he's a genius and I agree with this comment. He experimented, he tried some current trends, he had the means to record every musical whim...that's why there's a vault. There are gems in the vault, but they undoubtedly lie among some pedestrian material. It is what it is...
The album version is far superior to this early laid back demo version.
