You see. Back then you had to put in the work in the woodshed. It was about musicianship and presentation back in the day. With emphasis on musicianship. The guys we looked up to and emulate it. Came out of the late 60s into the mid-70s. And these guys were sound musicians with all kinds of imagination.
Hey Troy...a lot of people are digging on when Prince did that 'FrontLine' pose ( me too), but I think He might've seen KISS or somebody actually DO that before...we just forgot the other guy, real quick! I say KISS. Apollonia said she thinks he got the 'jumping-airborne-split,' from David Lee Roth who was doing that in Van Halen.
Wow. That keyboard solo was something else. Dr. Fink is seriously kicking butts here. Not to mention the guitar solo... I’m dying to know what he does to this guitar ( based on the 1982 version, I’ve got the idea, unusual " use" of the guitar neck and strings 😅). But, it sounds slightly different. My, he really exploits the potential of the instrument, with no limits and I love it. When I write " no limits" here, I think less about the visual performance of a guitarist giving a handjob to a guitar neck, that could shock back in 1981, than about musical limits of not doing it because it sounded so unusual. He tried, found it likely interesting enough, so why not play this on stage just because no one did this previously ? I absolutely love this musical audacity) I so hope to see old concerts footages found and shered in the future. Yes he would disapprove. But I was too young during the 80’s and 90’s to fully appreciate his real talent past the major hits and missed the train. And it’s precisely those older albums and video that turned me into an avid admirer in no time, so .. if it can contribute to broaden the audience to my generation, and the younger ones, it’s not that bad I guess...
The Audio is Unbelievable! Oh, how I wish there was a video too of This Performance!
yezzir!

There is only one Prince. True genius.
YES indeed !!
His guitar playing gets so overlooked damn genius.
Dr.Fink went in beast mode with that solo!
Yeah he did!!! Woooooow!!!
It puts me in awe of how he was playing such amazing jazz licks and progressions even back in the day during this era.

Prince burned 🔥 down the stage with this performance 🙌
The SICKEST synth solo EVER ! !
GREAT QUALITY & TIGHT analog sounds ! !
I was at this concert. He kicked Rick's azz that night!!! Rick brought it. But Prince Funk!!! Woooo!!!
I was there with u! Rick and Prince got into it backstage, according to my friend working the backstage. Best show!
I'm friends with Rick's original bassist Oscar Alston & he said Prince was giving Rick a fit on tour!!! Oscar was cool with all of them !!!
I think this was from the Controversy Tour months after he opened for Rick.
I did see Prince 4 times kept all my tour books tickets T-shirt everything...I ADORE YOU PRINCE 💜💜💜
wish I would have said something to him the several times I was backstage , and had the opportunity.... but his presence was sooo powerful. ....
He goes into that funky rhythm mode @ 5:37 🔥🎸🎶
Greatest front line ever: Prince, Andre & Dez !!!
