Prince & The Revolution "The Screams of Passion" (1984 Soundcheck)

[@henryortizjr1533]

A sound check from 36 years ago is hotter than anything coming out in music today. Incredible.

[@EyeHeru]

The way he goes from singing to giving instructions! "organ" ... "drop off the bass" .... this man was truely a legend. Where would R&B and Rap be without him smh. Rest easy Mr. Nelson

[@phade2blaq]

Prince did not need anybody to get him from point A to point B. He could do it all himself and that's pure talent.

[@wandamanning9198]

Love hearing him direct his band. What a musical genius he was💜💜💜💜

[@gregoryingram7561]

What's funny is that he told everyone in his high school he would be famous some day, but he said he never thought it would be of international as well as universal fame.

That's just a brilliant line from a genius.

[@k3nn3thinatl]

Listening to this you hear the difference between Prince and EVERYONE else. People don't understand that HE did it ALL! He was his own musical director, show producer, composer, etc. Maybe one day the scope of his genius will be understood and appreciated.

[@rodneysteward1087]

You are so right, this cat was on a different plain than everyone else.

[@mileselliott9657]

Some much will never be, the show in 84, purple rain last song , he hit a pitch so high with the guitar we could not here it that's why he cried, and the fans were great and he gave them is something humanity you will never get to not hear, this genius will go unrecognized for 60 years.

[@mileselliott9657]

Literally he had to die to be recognized

[@jkj10]

Thing is, the guy wás noticed in all his glory by many during his lifetime and even more now. Every true musician knew and knows his craftmanship, his genius and all that. His fans knew too and more people are getting to know about it today. The people who always say how underrated he was make me chuckle most of the times...the guy was hardly ever underrated, maybe only when opening for the Stones way back when, but I can't think of any other moment when true music fans didn't recognise his power, talent or whatever you want to call it. If you're into popmusic (and in this case not only popmusic) you know he's up there with the best , and in my opinion and in the opinion of so many others he's probably the best of ' em all and most probably will always be.

[@adc2327]

It's appreciated but we'll never be able to understand. As he said" I am something that you'll never comprehend".

for real

[@briandymarr8693]

I was just thinking the same thing. Wow!

[@PoeticalContext]

Wilbert McGinnis, How about him writing and producing all the Times earlier hits, Vanity 6 when he was only about 21 22 plus working on 1999 album?

[@psexnyc]

You're absolutely right. In the 94 East Project, Prince's Guitar work is simply Brilliant. The Choices he makes and those Inflections he hits are just Brilliant for a 16, 17 year old guy. AND he's the keyboard player on those 94 East Project songs too. BRILLIANT!!!!!

Prince was a part of the mold that created the sculpture of who I became. Now I feel as if the "I" has been chipped away. A sledge hammer has busted a piece from the sculpture of me--broken.

Happy Birthday to the One & Only Prince. June 7 1958 gave birth to the most important songwriter & musician we will ever know. They talk about Beethoven. They talk about the Beatles. They talk about Bach & Joni Mitchell & Brian Wilson and .....well, they talk. But Prince.....he walked the walk. He talked the talk. He brought us the Most Beautiful Girl in the World. He told us Let's Go Crazy. He let us know a Dirty Mind was not a Controversy. He took all that to the top of the charts and even when the charts turned its back, my Lord did that man turn out some of the best music of his life. Prince4Ever.

For the casual PRINCE fans. PRINCE would do a sound check for 2 hours. PRINCE would come back and do the actual show for 2 more hours. After the show. PRINCE would find a club and play another two hours to wee hours in the morning. They don't come around often people. Thank God 🙏 you and I were alive to see the greatest musical superstar and performer to ever Walk the planet 🌍. #PRINCE4EVER

This is so good, I’m grooving hard off of a sound check

[@rickiepotts5328]

THE MASTER AT WORK!!!

[@teddejohnson2015]

among many things that prince showed us was leadership skills, so in control of the stage knowing exactly what sounds he wanted to hear. sends chills through me just listening to this groove

[@catchybadsongs]

I love hearing Prince give direction. A natural born leader.

To the person who uploaded this live session I want to thank you! I always loved this song but only knew of The Family’s version. I have listened to this so many times and still can’t get enough 🤗❤️ RIP my sweet Prince you are still missed😔

I'm speechless. I found this by accident and I'm in love, I couldn't wait to get home from work to hear it again.

[@jasonbreininger7375]

I’m sad it’s taken me 35 years to hear this version. Thrilled that there’s still stuff out there for me to discover.

[@mattsephton]

Better late than never!

[@quattlebaum5193]

John Moore I know what you mean... I didn’t even feel as sad when my parents died. I feel like P was such an inspiration in my life. If I’m sad I listen to P, if I’m happy I listen to P and when I’m die, I only want the soundtrack he made for me. He will never b forgotten in my life! 💜💜💜❤️

This song is pure poetry. Beautiful. Prince will never get the true credit he deserves as a lyricist as well as songwriter...

[@Champion-Heart]

A musical genius, he is and will always be missed.

[@nezzyg-j213]

Prince lives on through his music… thanks for this gem!❤

[@novajean5274]

Damn I miss him. Musical genius he was... 💜 you Prince! 😘

[@colettestj]

What a simple amazing insight: the lighter you touch it, the more it does. Truly, this is applicable to singing (I just tried it) and many other things we do in life. I love you Prince.

[@chelsearogers1289]

colettestj Simplicity is the key in many things we do in life.

[@ThunderRoadDreams]

agree but totally opposite to how most keyboards work, usually sounds are layerd on top of each other the harder you press, e,g a light touch would give strings, a harder touch would give strings & organ, the hardest touch would give strings, organ and synth . It sounds like prince reversed that in the settings which i guess meant that it would give a you more the lighter you touch it! Probably gave interesting results for sure but backwards to what every keyboard player is used too :)

[@tahrehale591]

We get blessed ever so often. This was his work etiquette. Perfectionist. Prince & Kobe Mamba mentality

[@erikmonroe7706]

A True Legendary Genius, A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME

Since 1979 been you’re #1 Fan, blasted the heck out of yours songs in all my rides throughout the years on that cassette player. Prince! King of funk, soul, jazz, r&b, pop, and Rock. Now I blast your songs on my Bose, I feel you’re spirit Prince as we all do. Miss U.
