Strange Relationship • Rehearsal 84

[@zurn41]

A Prince rehearsal is better than most performers concerts.

[@pdubs1575]

No shit!!! This kicked ass!! Just wished it was a video and not just audio.

[@bigchungas4728]

This version of the song is much better than the studio version I feel like, and that guitar solo at the end omg

[@starLaSane]

Fo sho!!!!

[@heirling25]

Truth

[@joemcclinton1749]

Amen to that.

[@hongkongcantonese501]

Rehearsals where he's just barking out chord changes and plays with the lyrics are so much fun. A true master.

[@callmemonkh9020]

At this time, the Master version lyrics might not've been complete..

[@toekevin]

I’m pretty sure he was spacing out on the lyrics. Probably because he was busy directing the band.

[@djwoo5590]

Omg I so much agree 🔥

[@blablamannetje]

He shouts "D Minor", and then everybody plays something differently / different keys/chords? Is that how it works? If so: magic.

[@RD-zj6vc]

It's nice hearing his natural speaking voice when he's with the band.

[@rustyhornzinstrumentalist-7596]

"That's Somethin' For Your Azz" - Prince Funny 😂

[@nibirumyself1]

He was already mastering this song during the heart of the Purple Rain frenzy. His song writing was always years ahead. And just like this, there's proof of that. Years ahead 🙏🏼 An absolute master of his trade. As he said, he doesn't play music. He IS the music ♥️ Miss him dearly

[@Ellexis]

I think we often forget Prince was just a human. Yes, one with a drive to excel above the rest but still human. Hearing him speak and instruct his band is a delight. What a treasure and thank you for sharing this! The world will never be the same without him. 🎸💜😢

This cat !!!!!!!!!! Better than the album version ! R.I.P. to the greatest.

[@christopherj3121]

He was an INCREDIBLE band leader. 💜

[@greatwerkconstructionpeter2618]

WOW... I love to hear these live rehearsals when he was so young and full of life and spunk you know! He had that INCREDIBLE drive to constantly GIVE something amazing to the world in his music! I miss him so much!

[@djwoo5590]

Omg I so much agree 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mariefloyd6174]

He definitely knew where he wanted the music 🎶 to go. Oh God I just love to hear him rule that guitar 🎸.

[@mariefloyd6174]

So focused and his ambition was endless. Baby I'm waiting for you to play that guitar 🎸 for me. You know what I'm talking about don't you baby? 💜💜😉

[@twoodscpanupe]

I am looking for the Prince More Bounce to the Ounce Sound Check. Where could I find this and other rare recordings?

[@anitakos1375]

Beautifully said! I miss him so much it still hurts. I pray Prince has peace now. Love him forever! 💜❤️❤️❤️💜💜

[@sarahsilvamartinez772]

1984??? Come on NOW!!! This is fkin amazing.

[@musicmike1960]

Truly missed by all of us and may he rest in peace...

[@1youllneverwalkalone]

That solo! It’s like God just plugged in his guitar and started to shred.... oh that’s exactly what happened! 💜

[@navinmaceosmallberries8201]

Except "God" doesn't exist. So sadly in reality it's just Prince playing.

[@starrcompany3275]

@@navinmaceosmallberries8201 Thing about it is you wouldn't of even left that comment if you didnt believe in your heart that there IS a GOD and you better get to know him! You are walking around a corrupt world TOTALLY UNPROTECTED! NOT wise sir dont rule out somthing that you have no knowledge of

[@tc6664]

I love Prince but he is not God.

Man I miss his creatively genius approach to music.

[@lauraelliott4862]

“Go ahead on, Ed!”

[@primroserose2295]

He makes me fall in love with him over and over again!! Loving this version sooo much!!💜💜💜

[@4mykoby]

This is better than anything I ever heard. Raw the Guitar solo will make you wet

[@terencerandolph7721]

"Funky Bob....funkay". Actually verbally said the word funky, more funky. What a genius.

[@prince4ever339]

"Honey if u left me....I couldn't stand it....but I got something for that ass" I would have been laughing

[@madracket]

best part

[@THX1139]

This vicious guitar solo gives me fever 💜.

[@jasperhalco871]

Prince was such a master instrumentalist. He even directs and 'plays' the entire band as if they are another instrument in his hands

[@wandamanning9198]

Love hearing him instruct his band💜💜💜💜

[@aloisgastager6837]

What a guitar solo! On guitar he was second to none!

[@icegiant1000]

Keep in mind Prince was only 26 years old when he was recording this, that blows me away.

[@pstrickland7301]

The best version of this song.

[@rosapage2511]

Prince so young and great !!! Gave so much to the music world!! Miss him so much 😥😥😓. There was no stopping him he know why GOD put him here and what a Blessing he is and was !!! We miss you Our Prince 😩

[@akis.4493]

Greatest artist ever!

[@peterroberts7684]

Alan Leeds said Prince was never going to get old..He will always be remembered as the bambi eyed youth

[@genigeni9335]

I only discovered Prince in my 50's so grateful for it. He really was a gift to us all his many talents. The other ironic part is that my youngest son looks like him but taller.

[@djones148]

welcome to the REAL. ♥

[@chris48234]

how are you just discovering him?????? WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TOO????

[@branstarone]

Pure music at it's best! I loved this guy! Greatest musician we ever had!

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

hands down the greatest musician

[@whendovescry2000]

Amazing. The word talent doesn't even come close to this enigma of pure genius named Prince. Here's a song we heard in 87 he made a few years earlier - just TOO much music. WOW. Prince we miss you so.

[@akis.4493]

Greatest artist ever!

[@dougjohnson7096]

Left an emptiness that no one else can fill

[@iamheeeem]

Prince: "E minor." 99.9% of all recording "artists.": "Whats a miner have to do with a keyboard?!?!?!"

[@carriepoe9106]

Great stuff right here! Never disappointed by what Prince did. He will forever be in my heart and soul. Rehearsals are phenomenal and should be released. ❤️ I miss him terribly

[@mikewilcox8197]

This album was a masterpiece.

[@tonyshark3087]

Time to just enjoy his legacy, heal from losing him and start doing alot more of #Love4OneAnother 💜

[@starrcompany3275]

Perfectly said because that's what Prince was telling us the most thru his music and words💜🍷🦋

[@stevecrown7958]

One of my fav Prince jams of all time

[@do7hemath937]

It's sad that when Prince was alive he took all of his music ( & the music of his artist ) off KZbin. Now we have all the videos but no Prince. Check out Jesse Johnson's Donnie Simpson/ B.E.T. interview.

[@bellaj.4937]

Yeah...so sad because even more people would have gotten to listen and 💕💖 his genius musical talent 🎸🎶

[@jedigeekbiker]

there's a few live videos.. las vagas etc.

[@do7hemath937]

@@jedigeekbiker I'll ck them out.

[@Nkosinati]

I agree, as a fan, it's sad. But as an artist, i so embrace Prince's commitment to protecting himself from getting robbed, whether it was by record companies or by downloadable technology; and his commitment to helping other artists (like Chappelle) do the same.

[@do7hemath937]

@@Nkosinati I hear you, but It didn't effect the people he was trying to prove a point to. Only his fans suffered. Taking his music off YT didn't change anything with the industry & the music is back up.

[@matthewhawkins2858]

@@pettyceddy9538 Exactly, if they were so important, why did P remove most of their contribution to Strange Relationship? My favorite evolving lie is: he didn't like The Beatles at all, they introduced him to The Beatles and he's a fan, and then they all LOVED The Beatles? I'd love to hear the studio version pre-W&L of Strange Relationship.
