An old spiritual song dating back to days of slavery. When he says "just like Richie" he is referring to Richie Havens who performed it at 1969 Woodstock. In the beginning where he says "oh mama mama why did you put me out in street I'm only 12 yrs old" he talking about when he got kicked out of his home for having a girl in his room. He became homeless and was forced to live with anyone who would take him in. He finally found refuge at a friend's house and occupied a basement. In fear of being kicked out again he became recluse and put much of his time into music. In school he would be found in the school band room when class was out. There he taught himself how to read music and would use the piano, drums, and guitar. You can hear his pain of having a broken home. Good reaction! I think this was performed in Spain 1999
Prince starting : "You know... There was never any reason to Argue... " There is a story behind this performance and the complete performance IN this Spanish TV show. There is a reason for his mood here. Prince was at war with Warner, and this program was conducted and hosted by a Warner hired , a singer call Miguel Bose who thought of himself by the way, he was the best in word 😂. The tv show have planned Prince performance of 2 songs and an interview with Prince by Miguel Bose. Prince arrived at the site early to record the program, and as always asked to conduct a 10-minute soundcheck with his musicians. The answer was NO without any reason, surely because of the ego of the host of the show and the Warner war.... What did PRINCE do? After several refusals by the program denying him his logical sound check, he thought about leaving the place and not recording anything. But it made go so much better. Instead Prince went into his dressing room an wait.... and after a while that the host had him angry for nothing ... The TV show realized that better change mind OR not tv show at all .... Prince was finally able to do his sound check. His reaction? Not give any interviews, not even meet the host of the show and instead give away a big long LIVE performance (35 min ) because of his immense respect for the audience that was there, and all the viewers who would be watching the show on television who were not at fault for anything. Motherless Child was NOT programmed. He just decided to play it. He was hurt by everything that had happened and didn't understand Why. This is why you are watching THIS jewel. Now you know the context and the real life behind all his performance in this show... And also you have the clue for his mood and his words in the beginnig... Prince was an absolute genius musician and better human being,That song is how he felt again, belittled and mistreated . Just Love this musical jewel, just Real him exposing and giving how he is feeling Through his gift of music.
My brother your reactions are priceless ,Major prince fan here and just love that even though he's on his new journey,He still moves people.A very special human being the mighty Prince was. Peace n b wild 2 1 and all around the world
YES YES YES! This was my suggestion I am so glad you reacted to it I think it is my favorite performance from him, the way he commands the band and the audience is just mesmerizing 🤯 Other great performances of his: - the superbowl halftime show in 2007 (obviously) - The new years eve concert in Paisley Park in 1999, it is a full 1h concert, you can find it on UA-cam - 17 days live in los angeles forum, 2011 -Cream live at webster hall 2004 , a very simple but cute performance
