prince live in columbia, sc, 1981
honestly, i’ve never gotten much into prince. sure “purple rain,” “1999,” and “when doves cry” are great songs, especially when they pumped into a casino and your drunk as hell and losing your ass, but outside of that ive never fancied him much. i did own diamonds and pearls, and i think i liked it, but that was 17 year old greg and not sure how 35 year old me would feel about it. anyway, here is a particularly cool soundboard recording of a prince show from columbia, sc all the way back in 1981. even i, a non prince fan, could get into this.
1. uptown
2. why you want to treat me so bad

4. i wanna be your lover
5. head
6. dirty mind
7. do me baby
8. controversy
9. lets work
10. party up
11. jack u off

This is good stuff.
yeah it definitely is, and like i said im not much of a fan but have listened to it a few times in the past few days. might check out his earlier stuff….
More Prince please!!! The Purple Rain – Sign O’ The Times stuff is as rock as Prince gets and when he was the angriest.
Angry Prince = Good Rock.

Thanks Gregor!
cannot get 1st track to DL…it will play on your site but not DL…any help?
THANKS – your site is AWESOME!!!!
Please excuse the triple post; I am so ashamed.
Thanks for the Prince!
jj, its been fixed. sorry bout that. i just came across a prince 12 inch archive of stuff. would anyone be interested in such a thing?
For some reason some of the tracks stop in the middle. Is anyone having this problem? Most noticeably, it happens on “I Wanna Be Your Lover”. This show is amazing, btw. I’m dying to have it play properly all the way though!
hmmm this is happening when you are trying to download em? i havent heard any complaints other than the first track, which i have since fixed. let me know and ill reupload it…
Yeah, this happened when I downloaded it. I think it might be on just the track I mentioned. Let me know if you can fix and THANKS!
Thanks!
[...] Dead posted a live Prince gig from 1981 last week. Not being an expert on Prince, I don’t recognise a single one of these [...]
“I Wanna Be Your Lover” is still cutting out after about 2min after I download it to iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem? I’ve tried DLing it 3-4 times, and always the same problem is happening. Gregor, do you have any clue why this might be happening? Thanks!
very strange. what do you mean you downloaded it to itunes? you just mean you imported it to itunes? i reuploaded everything so maybe give it another shot..
I tried importing it to iTunes again and the same thing happened. What the hell? It’s really weird how this is happening with just this song. I think I’ve tried to make it work with iTunes 5 times now and on 2 different libraries. WTF?!
I’m having the same trouble as “G.” with the I Wanna Be… file. I’m also importing into iTunes, but there’s no problem with the other files (‘cept for Uptown, which was resolved when you re-posted). Anyway, thanks for posting these. They’re grrreat!
sorry to make you work, but it seems to be the file… it got to about 3.30 and the cut out. lemme look for a better version. sorry bout that….
