During his last appearance on Arsenio Hall, he said he wouldn't mind teaching music. I can only imagine Professor Prince's class having a very long wait list.
When I want to be uplifted I just listen to Prince. To me he is the most fascinating artist to listen to. He had so many different versions of the same song. The ingenious way he combines his songs with other artists songs is truly incredible. He was astonishing!!!!!
To hear Prince directed the band & fine tune everything & how it all flows together & the transitions & breakdowns, is pure unadulterated funk at it's funky best
Some of the best we get to listen to now are the rehearsals, thank you to all who are able to find these gems. The working musical mind of this man. Prince provided the soundtrack for my life. 1980's to present I never tire of the Purple One. 💜💜🎼
@@christyjakelpatrick9130 hahaha nor do I, Prince & his music has molded & shaped me in 2 who & what I am now & Prince & his music shall 4-ever continue 2 do so & fill me with knowledge & wisdom
For all Prince fans, here's a bit of little known trivia about this song .....While delivering his speech prior to the induction of the Funk collective known as Parliament-Funkadelic into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in May 1997, Prince explained that "Erotic City" was recorded directly after seeing Parliament-Funkadelic at the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles in 1983. So this legendary song was inspired by one legendary group to another all time legendary artist. Prince was not only great. he studied the greats.
You're right I watched that a lil while ago. To me he was the combination of many greats before him....Sly, James , Joni Mitchell , EWF and a few others. However his gifts superseded them all.(my opinion) then he was clever enough to paint it all purple, such a genius. He put a lot of other people on as well. He never got in anybody's way. I miss him soooooo much 😭😫🙁💖🎸🎤🎛🎹
Love how we are now able to see the journey of a song. Magnified his greatness. This shit was 10 times better than the released version. This cassette you cant borrow and had no problem saying you better be lucky I let you hear it. Cause they never played him on the radio he was to explicit. Brought me back to the 80's with The Time , Shalamar, Rick James,Cameo and cassette deck with automatic change so you never had to take it out .
I had to listen to this twice in a row. It's fascinating. . .I love how he gives directions to Wendy and Lisa (and everyone else, but I really dig Wendy and Lisa.)
It's called songwriting,composing & producing. What Made Prince as Bad as he was is that he was able to Call on all of his Influences. He was a great channeler.
The songs were Prince‘s children. All of them he raised so well as a single father. They will carry on his DNA for centuries to come - if not till eternity and beyond. Keep resting easy, Purple Maestro!
@@chasep1310 ....one of the last awards Prince presented to someone before he died was The Weeknd and The Weeknd didn’t even seem to really even realize how honored he should’ve been when being handed an award by Prince. I’m sure he knew some things about him but not the full depth of Prince’s career. Sad.
@@chippy7745 the weeknd is quite creative so that surprises as well as disappoints me as there is so much he could learn from him to elevate him self even further to where he would not have to be complaining about awards and just be happy making quality music. I I think the Weeknd is/was more a micheal Jackson fan to be fair to him; which is understandable as he is not a musician in the same way Prince was so probably never felt that same energy/kinship. But he should have recognised the genius/Jedi in Prince and should have taken on board what was happening. This has made me question weather he will ever really touch greatness as if you can’t see or haven’t studied the geniuses like Prince you will never really get to that next level. That is how the next generation think to be fair; nothing before nothing after me in public and in private hence the poor quality of creative output that has no chance of being something in Nv that carries over time. It is real sad the next run will be forgotten but the purple legend is one thing that will never die. Just check out the connections to the genius
His rhythm guitar is just legendary subtle and overpowering yet never takes away from the rest of the band! Just listening to the little things within this jam is what I take away the most. Brown Mark is absolutely killing his simple yet powerful bassline. Awesome integration of all the members and their musical genius. Once he's satisfied with the pitch, tone and speed they crush the last 5 minutes of this. Amazing to the ears! I would have paid good money to witness this sound check!
Man o man, love these long rehearsals with the Revolution. Linn drum pounding the funkiest beats, Prince arranging the band ! Golden! For me the funkiest combination, Prince & The Revolution!
This is really what members of the Revolution refer to when they say that music "came out of rehearsals". It's basically Prince in complete control, directing the band.
His ability to perfect or change stuff up on the fly during rehearsal and live gig is just dominatingly heaven to listen to and watch. There are very few who can do this with such confidence and natural ability, only prince dose it better than any other.
You've got to give props to the band members too my friends.Its my belief that every single member of the many incarnations of Princes bands over the years were the best of the best and understood his every instruction seamlessly.Just imagine being in a band with him.If a listener like me can learn from him what was it like for band members? There will never be anyone like him in my lifetime again for sure
His ability to reVAmp his own songs to go from A Pop version of Let's Go Crazy to then turn around with 3rd eye girl and PLAY it Rock N Roll. Shows his music still hit. It will always be the GOLD STANDARD. ACTUAL musicians today only have PRINCE as a road map of GREATNESS 2 TRY and follow. He is the GOAT.
Band practice is better than 99.9 percent of commercial radio/social media/etcetera of “product/status quo” music from the past 25 years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You can tell that he has perfect pitch, by how he keeps picking different harmony parts to sing. He can hear all the harmonies in his head...in "real time".
@@inspectorbudget He means regarding The Time on stage. I know what you mean though. The Revolution were rarely this funky live. They WERE funky, but this just sounds nasty
Omg!! I adore Prince sooo much!! This is moving throughout my body and soul tonight!! Rest in heaven sweet and badass Prince!! Love you forever and thank you for lifting my spirts as I battle lyme disease. You were a blessing to us from God!! Sending you all warm hugs and lots of love!! xoxo xoxo
I adore Prince, since my teens! Erotic City was the jam to dance to at the clubs!! I have many favourite songs from Prince!! Erotic City is my absolute fave!! Little Red Corvette, If I was your girlfriend omg too difficult to choose only a few faves!! :)
My God!! Really?? This man was a genius. How is able to listen to 50 things at one time and correct them. WTF!! I started listening to less rap now and going back to the vault of my music of yesteryear
You'll be glad that you did. Yes he was a great instructor for this rehearsal. Just perfect, but when you have a serious passion for something you can do that.
I remember hearing this song in the summer of 84 and I thought it was sly and the Family Stone, Prince you were a true Musical genius! we were jamming at Belle Isle that summer day.
We never had/ heard music 🎵 like this before him….the notes, riffs and changes are unbelievable. And they were all in his mind. God Bless those who have ears to hear what we heard.
Just in case you didn't think Prince was a musical genius listen to how he builds Erotic City in real fricking time. I always thought that this was one of my favorite Prince songs because of it's simplicity but after hearing this I realized that it is actually very complex.
@@wuodbonde I understand but it still hurts. It’s been 5 years and I’m still very emotional talking about it. My wife thinks I’m insane. Being a musician makes it worse. I just miss him so much
Funk so pretty you and me Erotic City come alive!! Thank you sweet n badass Prince!! Love you too Sheila E!! Love Bizarre is so good too!! They should have been married! They performed on stage together!! Amazing!! But 5 years without our Prince and I am still heartbroken he's gone :(
Insane I still remember the first time I heard this in a NYC Club the clubs loved and how the crowd Moved I saw the LoveSexy Tour..Mr Musicology Schools in these Rehearsal Tracks need to be released ..God Bless Mr Nelson..I wish the younger Generation Stand Up and away from Pro Tools and get Organic play instruments and Set it off..
Better yet! As I tried and tried ... I'm happy about my club remixes archive on cassette tapes of this song and beat from the 1980-90s! I do own free radio recordings of club music of 1980-90s leading to House Rap I like!! 😍
@@Turnip3 that's probably because he taught her band this arrangement. I saw her open on the Purple Rain Tour and I was LIVID because at the time, this was my favorite Prince song and thought they would sing it together after Baby I'm A Star. I don't even remember how well her band played it. This here is what I wanted to hear
@@avace917 I saw the tour too. I have heard the final show ("I don't know when's the return") in FL and he comes out to sing it with her (or at least behind the curtain). She performs this on Romance 1600 Live and they do this vamp and she is playing the timbales for all these stops at the end :)
@@Turnip3 I did hear that he was singing backstage whenever she sang Erotic City on the tour. I saw Romance 1600 when MTV aired it in 86 but I missed Erotic City. Since then I've only seen A Love Bizarre
Naw. Michael had tht. Can't take tht away from him. And Prince was WAAAY Above & BEYOND pop. He was a master of literally EVERY genre of music. So there is no comparison.
Thxs for sharing. I LOVE WHEN IT SHELIA E. AND BAND also did it LIVE!!!- San Francisco IN 86(vhs) BY PRINCE'S direction. " .This song is SOOOOO DAMN FUNKY !!!! THE ONE AND ONLY.
P♾'s incomprehensibly massive, divine energy is like the sun. Whatever dimension he's in right now, or has ever been in (ever since 1958), it's infinitely fuelling up the entire Milky Way! I know for a fact the other planets are rocking out to this Beautiful One's sound emanating from this planet. UNREAL. The ONLY one I experience this phenomenon with. Feels like a direct portal from 💜 channeling just me, and everyone else, individually, charging us all right up to a 100%! Nothing else comes close to this powerful, eternal exchange between him and millions of his Purple Friends.
Prince was a real musician and genius. Listening to the tapes of his rehearsals you can see how his musical mind was working. Also this is one of the greatest basslines ever in popular music. Every bass player should learn how to play Erotic City.
And his guitar ... like doing nothing ...moving around just giving the sound clues at any moment... Prince was an anomalie, not from earth. the Musician's Master .
I remember as a kid hearing this song in December 84, January 85, I used to wonder what in the hell was he using to make the sounds that was on this song. And even as I got older and started playing and experimenting with music and heard the song I was still mesmerized and wondered, What the hell is those percussion_backwards drums? What were those weird air sounds.
@@yolandaclark1142 A couple of kids working at the hospital heard me playing it and was like What is that? Sounds pretty cool. I told em it was Prince. What album? No album. B-side left off Purple Rain.
Prince’s sound checks sound better than most artists whole show!💯
During his last appearance on Arsenio Hall, he said he wouldn't mind teaching music. I can only imagine Professor Prince's class having a very long wait list.
One of the most masterful musicians in modern times.

you worded that so brilliantly paul.
All these years listening to this song(over 30+)and you hit the nail on the head..In this case simple is more than enough
Yes I agree 🔥🔥🔥
Exactly ! Prince understood SPACE. Less is always more especially in Funk.
Prince always knew what he wanted. Perfection!
For all Prince fans, here's a bit of little known trivia about this song .....While delivering his speech prior to the induction of the Funk collective known as Parliament-Funkadelic into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in May 1997, Prince explained that "Erotic City" was recorded directly after seeing Parliament-Funkadelic at the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles in 1983. So this legendary song was inspired by one legendary group to another all time legendary artist. Prince was not only great. he studied the greats.
I was at that show. Beyond incredible.
You're right I watched that a lil while ago. To me he was the combination of many greats before him....Sly, James , Joni Mitchell , EWF and a few others. However his gifts superseded them all.(my opinion) then he was clever enough to paint it all purple, such a genius. He put a lot of other people on as well. He never got in anybody's way.

I actually read this in a book about Prince that came out during the Purple Rain storm
Creating a groove layer by layer. A master in the music kitchen...smells funky to me!
we will never have the 80s again.enjoy what they gave us.
don’t hurt nobody with that statement

Absolutely

@@yolandaclark1142 😂 I found it 24 years later and was still amazed at his genius.
@@yolandaclark1142 A couple of kids working at the hospital heard me playing it and was like What is that? Sounds pretty cool. I told em it was Prince. What album? No album. B-side left off Purple Rain.
What a gift for us to be able to hear this. Would have loved to be in that room when this was happening 💜
Gone to early, R.I.P. Prince
What people wouldn't give to watch all this amazing musicianship going on. Flat out dancing in the rows. ❤❤❤❤
He is truly missed and loved. Gone to soon. RIP.
