Prince, Hot thing band rehearsal 1987

[@LuisRamirez-uz5ty]

That's Funky man. Release a rehearsal album. This is unreal!!

[@joemcclinton1749]

The master had total control.

[@antrikikin]

Man he just wore EVERYONE out with his jam sessions/ practice. He's so in control of everything, it's cool to listen to him work.

[@cottagechskitty]

It was not unusual for him to jam for an hour non-stop during rehearsal. It's just incredible

[@Dornie51]

You just don't get music like this anymore 💜💜💜

[@truthinbottle99]

...Not true....They're just not promoting music like this on the radio anymore....and that's because someone (you know who) is trying to control the world for another 2,000 years...

[@spacerockwizard]

No you do not.

[@alexahenderson1044]

Totally agree. :(

[@markusmakinen5233]

Yes, exactly. Why is that? There's always room 4 funk. Methinks the young do not feel like dancing 2gether...or on their own?

[@PrinceRN]

A bandleader long after bandleaders went out of vogue.

[@livwithnewinsight]

All of Princes' sound checks and rehearsals are 🔥💜 🔥

[@LamarrBaxter]

Can you imagine this version being played at a funky House Party back in the day. The dance floor would be packed 😎

[@kiuakakirstine8257]

This version is so funky - Why didn't he release it as a single. Don't think anyone would mind dancing through the whole 17 minutes.. 👁 no 👁 wouldn't mind 💜💜💜💜❤️

[@newhorizonsforfifty2833]

He did release it as a single.

[@briandonald]

I agree!

[@TheMuleFunk]

Also this is a rehearsal for the Concert. Kicks much ass though.

[@superspook693]

Sometimes, when I hear these rehearsals, it's like he's still jammin' there inside Paisley Park

[@shakiracharriez9811]

OMG they are jamming. This one of my favorite song and they are killing it. Make you want to get on the dance floor and shake your booty. GO Prince. 💜💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💜

[@julienceaser]

Damn it just don't get much more funkier than this.... Hot version. So funky you can still smell it well after it's over.. :)

[@wesleypeters2728]

sooooooooooooooo good i want it played at my funeral

[@mustardegg2]

I wanted this played at my birth.... should be played at all births.... earth would have better children

[@Modernaire]

This version is IN. SANE. I LOVE it. Prince and band just expand on it, like he and the band just took it to a totally newer unheard of level that was never repeated in concert! Even the mechanical distorted LM-1 repeat motif is higher pitched and higher, guitar solos, piano improvising, the clap is is just insane with added clap to make it more funked out, man, I just love this. Ive heard it before in snippets, it would keep me up energized, so I'd stop listening, its just too funky!

[@miro115]

Yassss man, this is crazy.....no words needed.. Feel y'all THAT??? 🙃☯️☸💜

[@markusmakinen5233]

Spot on. Where is current music going? This version of P 's music is in the top 3 unreleased songs.

[@HillyPat]

Oh boy, I love Prince rehearsals - listening to him guiding and directing ! Thanks for the post

[@joemcclinton1749]

Oh damn, I love this stuff. Prince why did you leave us?

[@beatz04]

[@CraigMansfield]

His unreleased music was often better than the released versions. I think he over produced them sometimes. Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic Mutiny Crystal Ball Just off the top of my head

NAH...BUT HUNT THE 12" VERSION..LONG AND STRONG TOO..

[@JDrumUK]

There are so many of his live versions that make me feel that way when I put the CDs on now. Wish there was a way to harness this kind of energy and funk in the studio for some other songs.

[@kiefferz5556]

Love boni

[@GiuliaCarosella]

Io ho sentito dal vivo hot thing al concerto di Prince, a Milano a giugno 1987, ma devo dire che questa versione è much better!!!

[@Dyvineone]

Damn i likes

[@arvycrayton8870]

See Eric Leeds is a bad man but I love to hear Atlanta Bliss compliment the sax . Sign o the times era / crystal ball he just made music so fonky , not to mention he could play all these instruments and tell the musician how he wanted it played .

[@LG-kx8xl]

Prince gave Atlanta Bliss his name.

Did Prince slip in a little of Jesse Johnson's hit "Crazay" at 15:55?

[@CRexcelsior]

Oops. Boni missed her cue. I bet her paycheck was light that week.

[@rwen4evr]

Bet you're right.

14:53 Miko don't play nothing just make some noise on the guitar

@ the end ;-)

[@plecturaproductions5816]

I’m dead 😂 he hit that crazy 4 u tho!

[@MDanc3]

I loved me some Boni vocal wise, but Organ wise Lisa would’ve been all over that organ solo with so many different elements. It’s a shame he didn’t merge the bands at that time into one band, because the musicality would’ve been so 🔥 with them all together.

[@palludvigfinstad9354]

Lisa wasn't much of a soloist.

Best album of all time and all artists! Hands down 🙌

[@alanohagan6999]

Was Prince hanging with Miles Davis at this time

[@odelayy]

Yes, in mid 1986 he asked him to play the trumpet on a song which remained unreleased during Prince's lifetime and Miles guested on stage during a Prince show at Paisley Park on Dec 31, 1987 (the first Prince ever played there, 3 months after its opening). Miles Davis officially recorded one more time for Prince on a Chaka Khan song written and produced by Prince called Sticky Wicked in 1988.

[@alanohagan6999]

@@odelayy woah thanks imagine that Price and Miles together - awesome

[@CraigMansfield]

Yup. You can find them playing together online I'm sure. I think it was around 88.... Lovesexy time
