Prince and the Revolution - 17 Days [Soundcheck] (Edit)

[@robertmcowens6136]

The Revolution was by far his Best band...

[@franklinharris8840]

Prince is my guy. I'm not shame to say I cried when he died. He was a master. Much love my brother. R.I.P.

[@anitakos1375]

I cried when Prince passed away too 💔💜🙏💜💜

[@panface1000]

@@anitakos1375 I did too, a lot :(

[@anitakos1375]

@@panface1000 I feel a loss as if Prince was a very close friend! Through his amazing music, he still helps us!! I can’t believe it’s 7 years this month-April 💔

[@mztweety1374]

I cried like a widow.

[@baileyryanpatrick17]

This was a B-SIDE...a B-SIDE! Yes, his throwaway stuff was better than most artists' greatest hits!

[@mztweety1374]

Wayne B loved b sides. Still have the 45 "how come you don't call me anymore "

[@MsTexas73]

Yes!!!! TWICE it was a B-SIDE!!! And it STILL got radio play!!! That's how awesome this song was.

[@johnmickns]

Yep and arguably one of his best songs. I got this on a 45. I just showed my age lol

[@Domino1972]

definitely never considered throw away. But I get what you are saying.

[@karencarbonaro7264]

baileyryanpatrick17 This was a long playing single. One whole side was this song. And the other side was instrumental.

[@therealsoulproduct]

Now how funky was THAT?!!!

[@williemurphy2421]

This is another song why Prince was the baddest artist to come through this world in a long time. Prince Rogers Nelson.

[@nancypatricia511]

I love listening to the sound checks and the various instructions to the band. "Don't stomp down too hard here . . . all this work they put into this stage just . . . level it." Sax solo!

[@catboyzee]

Prince always brought the best out of all his bands. But the Revolution(1st with Dre and Dez, then with Brownmark and Wendy) will always be special. Respect and RIP to the Purple One.

[@Psylenoz]

the whole sound setup, instruments and effects are my favourite. could listen to this set allday.

[@ordinarygeek1893]

Nice. You get the DNA of a classic Purple Rain-era Prince drum pattern here, nicely exposed, for all us geeks to dissect! Love it! ☺️

[@purplegurl79]

Prince had always came up with the baddest drum beats!! Love you, my Purple One!❤❤😢😢

[@tiereneymccann2045]

U so right QUEEN

[@caliblu]

...was this a soundcheck that turned into a jam session, or vice versa? son was so cold. we'll never see another one in our life time.

[@Domino1972]

a soundcheck before an April 1985 Purple Rain tour show

[@mykidsarebrilliant]

The chemistry here is unbelievable! Love this,!

[@uwg2003]

Shame on anyone who doesn't think this was his best band.

[@johnmoore4714]

This my guy 🤴. Lets keep him alive #PRINCE4EVER

[@rscheffel27]

Original 45 version is the BADDEST and most Beautiful !!!

[@kandikane923]

Prince just made it rain! Holy Moly he got lost in this song and funkednitall up! I love it love it! Fantastic, he was the mastero. rip dearly beloved.

[@MsTexas73]

This is SOOOOOOOOOOO SICK!!! LOVE IT!!! Always been a FAVORITE and it was only a B-side back in the day. It you didn't have the 45s it came on you just didn't have it. By the way, it was a B-side TWICE (for "When Doves Cry" and for "Girls &Boys") Thank God for the DJ's who flipped the record over and played this song cuz we LOVED it here in CLE.

[@aliciacabrera-thomas9705]

Beloved Perfection & So Very Missed...

[@Staci98]

One of my all time favorites. I remember playing this on the b side of the 45 on my record player and day dreaming about Prince, loved him so much. ☔️💜

[@toofargone68]

i must confess i played the b side by mistake in 1984 it was on the 12 inch 4 when doves cry. then i started hearing on the radio in nyc

[@jamesbarnes4538]

yes indeed been a fan every day wen i was growing up remember the first time he came on tv 1979

[@donaldconrad1790]

King of the b side. The greatest artist ever.

[@WarRogers]

I forgot all about this song, I loved it back in the day. STILL DO.

[@greenboxmedia6291]

🤔💜

[@vestel777]

There was another version of this where it was a rehearsal and it was live with an audience kind of like a dance party going on in the background. I'm lucky to have heard it last year before it was taken down from KZbin.

[@solo5373]

Rude Boy in effect. 🎶

[@LilDos15]

Brown Mark on that gahdamn bass!!

[@sagicorn1020]

Yeah mark was fuckin it up.

[@LilDos15]

SagicorN swear for man!! Nothing like that Funk-Rock sound

[@inspectorbudget]

That's exactly why Prince chose him! 😀

Love 17 Days one of my favorite Prince dark mysterious, funky as hell. Shoulda been included on Purple Rain. But I don't cate for this version.

[@kathrynhimelreich2177]

17 Days was part of Spike Lee film, GIRL 6 - which consisted entirely of Prince songs ... with Madonna cameo, too. Good film & Prince absolutely rocks!

[@dustinrussell7840]

Gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@JB-bc9nm]

You can tell where "The Time" got their sound!

[@biancachi6435]

yeah, cause he was The Time... Were you being sarcastic?

i wish someone had the vanity 6 demo of this

[@MarcDeon]

what, What, WHAT? i had no idea there was such a thing and my boots dig deep. if it's anything like the Sex Shooter demo then YES... i want it.

[@AutumnExplore]

That may have been Brenda Bennett on vocals. But Prince may have had all the Vanity 6, Apollonia 6, and Revolution ladies demo a version of it.

this rulez

[@fabmiky]

is this a Parade's Tour soundcheck? it's totally different purple era's rehearsals

[@MarcDeon]

Miami Soudcheck 7 April 1985. 15 Days before Around The World In A Day released.

[@fabmiky]

wow! I got a lot of unreleased materials, but yesterday was the 1st time I listened this track. Do you have the unedited version?

[@MarcDeon]

Roughly 35 seconds of technical difficulties were removed. There's a missed cue by Brownmark and Prince comically rides him in his Cloreen Baconskin voice. Bobby Z's drums malfunction and P let's out a howl... much like the one that opens Around The World In A Day actually. It's then dead air and the usual soundcheck fare.

[@fabmiky]

I agree with you. thanks a lot, Marc

[@prifabbris]

Fabio Michieli, I have two versions of Seventeen Days! LP Version and Long Version (11:51), both of them in HQ (320kbps)! If you want it, send me your e-mail and I'll send it 4 U, ok? Hugs from Brazil! 😉😉😉

[@scrapperd7827]

One of my faves but cant find the ORIGINAL version ANYWHERE on the fucking internet!!

[@vincesilmon6770]

Building a funky shit by brick!

[@lolz9789]

Rêve surprit par le réveil matin. Dans le plumard et avec Rintintin. Une plume va aller voir tintin. Tout près de Milou loin du baratin. L’antivieux n’est qu’un reflet prochain. Tous ces odieux ne sont pas si loin. Il n’a que donné l’incertain vieux. Le jeune a pourfendu tous ses dieux. La jeunesse les voit sur un pieu. L’homme du passé rejoint le pieu. Se foutre du futur déjà passé. Le réveil sonne et déjà lassé. Des enfants ont vécu l’arc en ciel. Ils ont pris des couleurs pour du miel. Croire ce ciel pâte à modeler. Triturer à voire la brune olé. De vieux ados en ont profité. Des heureux passants entre le filé. L’enfant n’ose bientôt plus se taire. Qu’avez-vous fait de moi sur vote terre ? Un jeune homme épargné par une guerre. Soupçons jetés sur les gens de naguère. La honte sur ces heureux en jachère. Les guerres ont rendu peureux et la vie. Les paix ont rendu à l’autre l’avis.

[@NPGLAMB]

I like this version better because he slowed it down too much

[@melaniethomson2807]

Wake up huuu

[@notmedude]

It is so against harmony and melodical progress. It´s not typical which for someone might be great. But I honestly can´t stand prince (besides purple rain which is amazing cause it is not this meh jam session where instruments are doing something else than voice - i.e. not in harmony)

[@inspectorbudget]

noyeahno You sound very musically uninformed. One of those stuck in the Purple Rain album. BTW, this was from that same period. Do you not know what a jam session is? That's what they're doing here. Don't know funky when it's right under your nose.

[@rosilynmakeba1092]

And you came here just to say _that?_ Well, you said it, so run along, you lil ray of sunshine you....

[@mellowyellow415]

Okay, you don't like Prince. What are you doing here, genius?
