Oldskool Prince and the Revolution in all their funkified glory. This liberated bootleg is a great companion piece to the James Brown show that I posted earlier- a pristine soundboard from the Dirty Mind tour of '81. I tell you...this guy's guitar playing borders on nuts. An amazing show from an amazing tour of an amazing band. It's too damn good to pass up.
From the original uploader:
The Dirty Mind Tour was the second concert tour by Prince, and supported his third album Dirty Mind. The tour lasted from late December 1980 through April 1981. Teena Marie was the opening act on the 1980 tour. The 1981 US concerts were played in smaller clubs, without an opening act. Streetlight opened for Prince in Amsterdam and BIM in London.
The Dirty Mind show featured all eight songs from Dirty Mind. It also included a few numbers from the previous records, including “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?,” “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” “Sexy Dancer,” and “Still Waiting.” In addition, the Dirty Mind left-over “Gotta Stop (Messin’ About)” was usually played. “Broken” was added to the set on the club tour and “Jack U Off” (played instead of “Broken”) was premiered on the European mini-tour.
