tonyh29 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Saw some rare footage of him making the Purple Rain album the other week , which was recorded live in front of an audience ... even allowing for overdubs and George Martin like wizardry I never had a clue it was a live album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us will ever know what he was like as a person, but if there's a small percentage of truth in this tale then that makes me smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 Prince might overtake Tupac in the posthumous album release stakes - he apparently used to knock out hundreds of songs a year for the hell of it and not release them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at his death obviously. It's not wrong, Prince would appreciate it. He liked that sketch so much he did this: That's a real Prince single.

trekka Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 I watched him live in Milan singing Purple Rain (on Youtube of course). By god, that man made love to his guitar. It was epic. A true loss to the music industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just got in to hear about Prince. Gutted. I was never a huge fan but saw him at one of his many O2 shows a few years ago and it was comfortably the best live show I've ever seen. A three hour show where he just machine gunned hit after hit. 20 minutes after the house lights go up, with the place almost empty, he reappears to treat a couple of hundred of us to another 3 songs. Two hours later he is on at the indigo and plays for four hours. If I wasn't a fan before then, I certainly was by the time I got home at 6 am that morning. RIP you little purple wizard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
