      Yes sir, 12mins of real music. Imagine this...his concerts going on avg. 2hrs-2 1/2hrs then a couple hrs later having a after party show that goes well into the early morning hrs. There is no one on planet earth that does that. I've been to 4 concerts and 1 after party show and let me tell you the after party was such a treat. Usually went like this...go to concert and at the end of that hearing an announcement stating the after party location. People would rush to that location and it was first come first serve basis. Free admission and it would fill up to building capacity. Such a blessing to be a part of his performances. God bless and remember to always Liv4luv

Morris and some members were good friends of Prince in their school days and continued through out his career. "The Bird" and "Junglelove" were written, composed and produced by Prince. The Time toured with Prince many many shows. It was surely a joy to experience. God bless and remember to Liv4luv

I saw Purple Rain on the first day, first showing it came out. I've seen it so many times that I can pretty much do the script by heart. Lol. I agree, his best music was with The Revolution, but he kept coming with the hits and uniqueness that only a tried and true fan could fully appreciate!

I wish I had the opportunity to meet any of them, even now just to ask how those masterpieces of music were thought of and created. I watched Morris' interview with DJ Vlad three times. Lol. The Time, for having such a short run, are music royalty and whenever they get on stage it's sure to make people move their bodies because they have no choice once the beat drops! I can't describe the feeling I get when I hear, "WHAT TIME IS IT????!!!!" except pure adrenaline!!! 😂 😂 😂

    I don't even know half of these songs and this was amazing. I love when an artist can set back and let someone else shine. People always say Prince was this and he was that, but this dude showed respect to people. He may not have always liked certain people, but he never really went out of his way to disrespect someone. If you asked him why he did something or didn't do something, he was honest, and people didn't like that.

      Fake cough he didn't like Sinead O'Connor lol. Yes I agree he always shined the light on other musicians that he admired. So many I couldn't give an accurate account. Sheila E though was one of his greatest proteges. In this performance he honored The Impressions, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Carlos Santana and of course The Time. Great Set list he put together and it makes me happy you enjoyed it. My love for Prince started age 9 when I "borrowed" my sister's record album 1999. God bless and remember to Liv4luv

    I love that he paid homage ... Clearly he learned a lot from Larry Graham, as he definitely did justice to "the Jam" slapping that bass, and Lawd, that Aretha cover was amazing too .... Sheila E just keeps getting younger, and Prince has been severely and unfairly underrated as a guitarist in his own right. His fret work is beyond incredible here, and at the induction of George Harrison into the R&R HOF ceremony. RIP ANGEL!
