Rare footage of Prince & the Revolution rehearsing in a basement

I've been a Prince fan for years. IMO, he will go down in history as one of the greatest artists ever. Having said that, sometimes it's difficult to find youtube vids of his concerts etc. because they get taken down quickly.

I stumbled on some really rare rehearsal footage I thought i'd share before it gets removed.


***Note- I notice when play is pressed an "embedding disabled" message appears. You'll have to click where it says "watch on youtube" to view the video.

Prince is very protective of his music even the ones he disdains since he became a Jehovah's Witness.

 

He is. It just seems to make people want it more.

Thanks for posting shaft. Interesting to see. I read some of the comments on youtube some are hilarious.

fonkfiend oooooooooooh, I'm tellin! where the f--- did u get this footage??? Prince is gonna ride his motorcycle to ypur house and put his four inch heel u know where...

 

LoL. Definitely some characters in the comments section. I'm glad the comments didn't devolve into the usual Prince vs. Michael argument.

 

Silly argument. Both extremely talented. I'm more partial to Prince and have even seen him in concert but wouldn't deny Michael's talent.

 

thanks shaft...!!! i love prince and it's so rare to find any footage of him...and jordie know how much i'd love to have his heels parked under my bed...!!! he's sex on legs :smt050

 

I used to have a thing for Wendy back in the day myself. :smt003

 

lol...i think most of the boys did...me i liked lisa, she was a little edger

 

Do tell. :smt077

 

lol...it was the 80's, i had crushes on boys and girls...hell, the boys looked like girls...!!!

 

Yeah, androgeny was big back then. I remember when Culture Club first came out, for months I couldn't tell what the hell Boy George was.

 

Props for finding this.:smt023

 

That nigga dont age at all, lol

 

Dude, for real!

 

I always thought it was the work of those Madison Avenue BigWigs & Wall Street Whiz Kids that got the pimply, geeky nerd (thick glasses optional) who was VERY plain & undistinguished....but who had BITCHIN' pipes....and those number crunching record company execs made them look that particular way to capture the public's attention - and sell more records, through that particular kind of promotion. Notoriety & publicity based on visuals...after all, it *is* about stars spawned during the MTV Generation, yes?




Just my tuppence, m8's.....
