    this is cool…..for what it is….. but yet again it just goes to show that the inspiration of long ago is gone today….you don’t seem to be hungry anymore sir.

    i support Prince because i appreciate his music, however i’m still going to vote with my money and will not keep paying for sub-par put outs as the “new cd”.

    get it together bro!

    I think that it is great hearing this recording … I am a old school Prince fan and remember getting the Prince album on vinyl … I played this song over and over and over … love it that Prince for going back in the archives … allowing me to reminisce on good times.

    Thanks Prince & Dr. Funkenberry for the exclusive

    P.S. .. I want to add that I would have also liked this to be posted over at lotusflw3r.com … it would have been nice but I guess that is a done deal …I guess as a fan/fam we just want a little more bang for our $77 bucks .

    Prince must have been listening to himself lately and got inspired.
    He plays a lot of classics, and less known jewels from his own collection. I very much appreciate that, this gets me a 100 times more excited than all the covers.

    Keep it going like this, a full concert of Prince songs! Known, less known… I don’t care, it’s all good!

    This rehearsal sounds very good, fresh.. I would love to hear this in concert.
    Only thing I’m not happy about is… yes, the LF.com website. Come on, we paid and got nothing. This stuff needs to be on that website. And a lot more stuff!

    So Dr. F., I know everyone that comes to your page for Prince updates would love to know if you JOINED the Lotusflow3r.com website. Now, I’m not going to ask if you’re upset that info comes here instead. I not stupid. I know you’re glad/proud of that, but surely you understand everyones frustration. Can you do YOUR followers a favor and ask Prince or his “birdies” if they can add something to Lotusflow3r.com at least once a week? ANYTHING would make the Fams happy! For the record, I not mad. I’m just eagerly waiting.

    raise your hand if you’ve ever once been singer rehearsing for two weeks for a performance.

    What a special treat after a long day–absolute ‘joy to the ears’. The sound is so partylicious ‘cant help but bounce. They will certainly party in Paris.

    Thanks Prince for sharing and Dr.F. for posting.

    Thank You Prince
    Love You Prince
    Hoping and praying you’ll tour soon — maybe early next year–
    starting in the USA !!! Thanks

    I think the song is either random or in response to a few pissy fans.

    The song is from the album titled “Prince”

    After receiving come of the most craziest info I’ve heard in a long time today. Hearing this feels so good. Occasionally the simplicity of the spectacular is all that is needed. The world still needs what you have to give!

    You know, I remember when I was young about 5 yrs on this planet and I watched motown, black and white movies and fell in love with a particular sound. It was a simple sound and just automatically came together. It is the sound of live music all at once, instruments, melodies and lead being played straight up and sung with out editing. They used to use a TUDOR for recording – I know Elvis and the Temptations used it. Well, this rehearsal took me back to the “good times” the raw sound live and in color with everybody playing and I have to say absolutely perfect in rhythm, guitar sound was unique, vocals live in full bloom, drums on time, exact and piano very lively and exciting. I haven’t heard live like that since 5… so thank you. Live and In color in my ears.
