Hey guys! Thanks for all the nice feedback. Prince is truly one of the greatest musical talents of our time. I'm really pleased to be able to share something that so many people seem to enjoy. I remember this video from when it came out. For years I had a ratty, glitchy dub of it on a VHS tape that was my prized piece of video to show friends. When he passed last year I searched high and low and eventually found a long out of print copy of the Sheila E. live concert film "Live Romance 1600" and did my best to transfer and convert it at the highest quality (a little color and contrast tweak here and there). I sincerely hope that someday soon this and so much more will be professionally remastered and released so the world can share and experience the remarkable genius that was Prince.

His music has been a sort of backbone to my adult life, a piece of the fabric that is me. He was only 2 years younger than me, and I thought he would be around through ALL my years. But even though he's gone, his music, his talent, his total enthusiasm for his art will live on FOREVER!

Maybe he should be but you need to understand that "The Glamorous Life", "Love Bizarre". "Manic Monday" (which he gave to The Bangles) were all written for Vanity of Vanity6 for what was gonna be her solo album but then Prince and Vanity fell out so he gave those songs to Shelia E and to the Bangles and he had help writing "Glamorous Life" and "Love Bizarre" from "The Time" guitarist Jesse Johnson but Prince never credited Jesse until years later. Vanity also helped Prince with the story for the "Purple Rain" movie too. Jesse also did the music for The Time's biggest selling single ""Jungle Love".

@@phade2blaqNot all of that is true. Vanity and Prince's personal relationship was over by 82. She opened for him on part of his 83 tour and then left. Manic Monday was written as a duet for he and Apollonia Kotero in 84, and recorded by Apollonia 6 but later pulled by Prince. He offered it to the Bangles after hearing their 84 debut album. Love Bizarre was written by Prince and Shelia E together and was later featured in the Cult Classic Krush Groove. Jesse Johnson did collaborate on The Glamorous Life but the credit was always on Shelia E's album and he did write parts of Jungle Love but according to Jesse Johnson himself, Prince only used parts of his original score strictly due to ego as the two had a very tumultuous and competitive relationship. Plus the fact was that The Time was originally put together by Prince, he hired Morris Day and Jesse Johnson as well as every other members, all fellow Minneapolis musicians. He used it as a creative outlet and wrote the early music and even performed the songs himself on occasion. Vanity said she assisted with some of the scripting in Purple Rain simply because the role that Apollonia Kotero ended up playing was originally going to be hers, but she didnt contribute to the overall project . Prince had a huge ego even in the early days, he wasn't going to let anyone other than himself have any kind of creative control over any project at all. Morris Day said in the early days that he would kick them off a tour's opening spot simply because they outshined his band for one show. Jesse Johnson said that they had a beef for years over the fact that someone told him Johnson was as good as him on the guitar, he said Prince forced him to play bass. To this day Johnson says Prince sabotaged his solo project Jesse Johnson's Revue, which if you were alive in 84-85, had some damn good records.

@@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272 I LOVE Prince, but to me he boogies more than dances. Like unless you are doing some of the Kiss routine, you can't do a Prince flash mob like you can do Beat It or Thriller or Smooth Criminal or Remember the Time. Mike danced with the greats like Jeffrey Daniel and Boogaloo Shrimp. He was a de facto pop locker that worked with people like Pat Davis and DaMita Jo Freeman at the start of Soul Train, hence the robot. Prince to me was just feeling the music. He is influenced by James but he isn't James or Mike or Chris Brown. They prioritized dance just as much as made music. Choreographers teach the MJ style.

I was around when this came out. Working at a Radio Station and doing club dates at the time. It was a GREAT time to be alive...trust me! Prince was a true talent and a student and teacher. He has said numerous times his biggest influence was James Brown and if you noticed his (Sheilas) band was extremely disciplined. He got that from James Brown. They were extremely tight and like James.. Prince's requirement to the musicians was to look at him at all times. Look deeper at the performance ya'll. The Horn stabs are always on the 1. You can do all that shit and have fun but you need to do it on the 1. Also because there are so many "new" Prince fans aren't aware that when he was doing this Oak Tree stance - that was a shot a Morris Day who had recently at the time came out with Oak Tree. When I first saw this I knew EXACTLY what and who he was talking about! lol. Notice the "changes" and the "music" and not just watching the performance(which is excellent)! But there is so much going on with this! I use to watch this video before I used to do my gigs to get me pumped up. Worked every time. In fact, it still works. Another great performance band video is America by Prince. Thank you VimanRama for the upload. You took it back in time!

I mean like, if you are a Sheila E. fan@ dude & his band showed up with BROWNMARK holding down that bass!!! 🖤🌻
Brownmark is a bad man 🔥🔥. Please pray for his speedy recovery. The guy got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which nearly took his life a few weeks ago.🙏🏼
I was there too!!!
That is beautiful, what an amazing memory to share with daughter💜
@bobbi67 Do you know/remember the exact date of the show? Thanks in advance. 💜
@@melinda94583 early March 1986. The 6th perhaps. 🙂
No other straight man can pull off a pink midriff number and make it look cool.
Right? Plus heels to boot (pun)lol....Oh man.Miss this Genius.
No doubt
@@marlodambrosio6050 This man was a force of nature. From the time I was 14!! In 1984. People need to recognize!! Thank goodness my daughters love him as well today. Spread the word!!
😂 I know right?
Prince should without question be in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame....
Maybe he should be but you need to understand that "The Glamorous Life", "Love Bizarre". "Manic Monday" (which he gave to The Bangles) were all written for Vanity of Vanity6 for what was gonna be her solo album but then Prince and Vanity fell out so he gave those songs to Shelia E and to the Bangles and he had help writing "Glamorous Life" and "Love Bizarre" from "The Time" guitarist Jesse Johnson but Prince never credited Jesse until years later. Vanity also helped Prince with the story for the "Purple Rain" movie too. Jesse also did the music for The Time's biggest selling single ""Jungle Love".
❤❤❤❤❤
@@phade2blaqNot all of that is true. Vanity and Prince's personal relationship was over by 82. She opened for him on part of his 83 tour and then left. Manic Monday was written as a duet for he and Apollonia Kotero in 84, and recorded by Apollonia 6 but later pulled by Prince. He offered it to the Bangles after hearing their 84 debut album. Love Bizarre was written by Prince and Shelia E together and was later featured in the Cult Classic Krush Groove. Jesse Johnson did collaborate on The Glamorous Life but the credit was always on Shelia E's album and he did write parts of Jungle Love but according to Jesse Johnson himself, Prince only used parts of his original score strictly due to ego as the two had a very tumultuous and competitive relationship. Plus the fact was that The Time was originally put together by Prince, he hired Morris Day and Jesse Johnson as well as every other members, all fellow Minneapolis musicians. He used it as a creative outlet and wrote the early music and even performed the songs himself on occasion. Vanity said she assisted with some of the scripting in Purple Rain simply because the role that Apollonia Kotero ended up playing was originally going to be hers, but she didnt contribute to the overall project . Prince had a huge ego even in the early days, he wasn't going to let anyone other than himself have any kind of creative control over any project at all. Morris Day said in the early days that he would kick them off a tour's opening spot simply because they outshined his band for one show. Jesse Johnson said that they had a beef for years over the fact that someone told him Johnson was as good as him on the guitar, he said Prince forced him to play bass. To this day Johnson says Prince sabotaged his solo project Jesse Johnson's Revue, which if you were alive in 84-85, had some damn good records.
....and that's still not nearly enough.....
@phade2blaq do you have any idea how many songs, great songs this man has written? Who he wrote them for does not matter. Anyway he shld be in the Hall.
i live for sheila E and Wendy vibing the entire song...
You can't get this kind of Sound or Performance from this New Generation . We were so lucky to have P❤
Prince's dancing ability is something that people rarely commented on due to him being a brilliant musician, but he was a pocket rocket of energy and all done in heels!
Exactly- everyone talks about Michael Jackson while prince is clearly the funk bomb !
His feet were killing him The shoes, he said …..
@@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272 Michael Jackson is the first GOAT to me and Prince is the Very Very good 2nd GOAT!!!💞💞
@@judithspirito8483 ....unfortunately...his hips too...leading to a hip operation....pain meds....and we all know the rest....
@@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272 I LOVE Prince, but to me he boogies more than dances. Like unless you are doing some of the Kiss routine, you can't do a Prince flash mob like you can do Beat It or Thriller or Smooth Criminal or Remember the Time. Mike danced with the greats like Jeffrey Daniel and Boogaloo Shrimp. He was a de facto pop locker that worked with people like Pat Davis and DaMita Jo Freeman at the start of Soul Train, hence the robot. Prince to me was just feeling the music. He is influenced by James but he isn't James or Mike or Chris Brown. They prioritized dance just as much as made music. Choreographers teach the MJ style.
The sexyness. The flirtation. The love. That's what we are Love bizarre. The chemistry of him an Shelia E is unmatched.
I saw Prince live in concert in the early 1990’s. I took my favorite person in the whole wide world. My mom. She loved Prince too❤RIP Mommy and Prince
Prince was the greatest live performer who ever lived!!!
Was he a fag*git?? 🤔
❤❤❤❤
He had no equal 🪞
And Michael Jackson.
That's debatable
A shame that Prince and Sheila never married; I believe that a marriage between them would have produced so much great music!! Continue RIHP Prince!
I'm feeling ashamed of interrogating myself about what was their private relationship.
Wendy is waaay more badass that I think she gets credit for. And everyone know's shes badass.
Yep she holds it down and her vocals mixed with Prince like Lennon and McCartney to some degree would have like to have seen more Collaborations between those two in the musical in vocal department
Well said. Wendy was awesome
The simple fact this Man produced, arranged & wrote everything he did And performed this good makes him the best!
The Morris Day/Oak Tree shade is pure comedy! 😂😂😂
This performance is THE SHIT!! Two groups on fire, combined and churning out an absolute stone groove!! From chopping down Morris Day's Oak Tree to making a wooden leg and marching across the stage in funky precision, this is Prince in his prime and showing why he was a top class live performer.
I miss him. Sometimes when I'm feeling oldish I realize I'm truly fortunate to have gotten to see people like Prince and other amazing artists while they were still here and living their best lives.
Absolutely ridiculous! Prince was, and is quite easily one of the greatest creative talents of a generation. The world was better when Prince was here. 💜
Chopping down Morris' Oak Tree kills me every time! Classic performance.
What does that Mean??¿?
@@user-zq6ro7vx7v - When Morris Day from The Time quit the Prince camp, he (Morris) put out a song called "The Oak Tree". The part here in this performance when Prince is chopping down the Oak Tree is making fun of Morris.
This video needs way more views than 732k!
I love how both bands combined fully. This is what 1987 should have been like
they were like parliament/funkadelic... it was all the same thing... prince wrote every thing and they practiced together...
Can't believe that this song/video will be 40 years old in 2 years.
P was the greatest performer the world will ever see! He can't be outdone 💜
No ONE would have worked this hard to put on a single performance had it not been for Princes show genius.
Prince wasn't just an artist Prince was a show man RIP Prince❗️
85 was a great year! I was 20 yrs young & living the fullest life a child of God could ever experience. Like this performance!
oh it sure was, I saw Prince at the Spectrum in Philadelphia in 1984, he was a foookin tornado of energy
This performance is from 1986 in San Francisco. In fact this wasn't even a complete show. Prince and his band The Revolution did this guest appearance on Sheila Es. show which was being recorded for a VHS release. A great move by Prince and Warner Brothers to promote Sheila's new album.
Prince, MJ and Madonna.......What a great decade
That Eric Leeds walk off after he's finishes his solo though. I can't help but to just laugh my ass off. Straight soul!
Straight up funk!
Prince and Jerome clowning Morris day he had a dance called the oak tree...that's tooooooooo funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...FELLA'S CHOOOOOP
For selfish reasons I always wanted Prince and Sheila E to be together forever. They just look so damn good together
Me too
Oh man. I miss this brother. And his funk. Never will we see that kind of musical talent in this lifetime again ! Once in ifetime groove
I was 11 when I first heard prince i couldn't appreciate his talent then but now at 48 im just amazed by what all around musician he was and there will never be another like him ever.
Quite simply the greatest of all time
Every move perfectly choreographed as always! This dude is a legend for all time! I miss him dearly!
As a artist the most liberating thing is to have to ability to express yourself to the limits of creativity. Prince is one of the few that I have seen who had that ability. F*cking frightening some of the things he could do with any instrument. He could play a sax too. He was a true musical genius
Boy..i had on those 80's a blast whit great singer like him...
Prince was the best to ever do it. No disrespect to MJ bc he was great. Prince was a great singer, performer, and he played so many instruments too 💜
They were each other competition, they both good
Prince was better @@jesuswilljudge7296
Coolest conductor ever! Always on the one....
Now, that's a concert. Prince know how to have fun with the crowd.❤️⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍
Words fail me. God damn. Prince. A once in a lifetime star. ❤
That was just a BADD group of PEOPLE back then!!!! They made music look so darn sharp.... With incredible sounds.. Rip Prince and others. 2022🌏🏠🏠🏠
I've personally not seen any entertainer better in person. There is no close second or third place. It's just him.
I seen him in Concert... Saturday 0ctober 4th, 1997 ...!!! @ 8:00 pm...I Still have My Ticket 🎫🎟️
Me too lol Columbus Ohio 😂
Prince was a genius
without any doubt
Wow! Just wow! Never seen Prince sing this with Sheila E.
I was so glad I saw Prince at Wembley arena in London in 1990 he was amazing of course
Every now and again, I come on here and watch this video and never get sick of watching it. Prince was bloody awesome! Thanks for uploading.
best show-man ever "Frisco, are you wi 'me ?! " Yehhh .. 💜
Im 20 years old and in love this music is so good Rest in Peace
I was around when this came out. Working at a Radio Station and doing club dates at the time. It was a GREAT time to be alive...trust me! Prince was a true talent and a student and teacher. He has said numerous times his biggest influence was James Brown and if you noticed his (Sheilas) band was extremely disciplined. He got that from James Brown. They were extremely tight and like James.. Prince's requirement to the musicians was to look at him at all times. Look deeper at the performance ya'll. The Horn stabs are always on the 1. You can do all that shit and have fun but you need to do it on the 1. Also because there are so many "new" Prince fans aren't aware that when he was doing this Oak Tree stance - that was a shot a Morris Day who had recently at the time came out with Oak Tree. When I first saw this I knew EXACTLY what and who he was talking about! lol. Notice the "changes" and the "music" and not just watching the performance(which is excellent)! But there is so much going on with this! I use to watch this video before I used to do my gigs to get me pumped up. Worked every time. In fact, it still works. Another great performance band video is America by Prince. Thank you VimanRama for the upload. You took it back in time!
Gooooood god!
Imagine IF Michael Jackson were on THAT stage, with Prince……WHAT a performance that would have been 😊😊
@@steveyoon9650 Why on earth would that pedophile MJ be on that stage with Prince??
The Revolution that day, was running on all cylinders. Funk is eternal.
There's no Michael Jackson or Prince without James Brown. All three were incredible talents.
Prince was absolute fire 🔥 What incredible talent he possessed.❤️👌🏻
Mind blowing Energy & Fun on that stage right there ... still easily way better than ANYTHING you can see Live today .... real music by real musicians with real instruments, no playback, no auto-tune, no B.S. .. just another Legendary performance by the one and only Prince, the God of Music! ... O(+> 💜 4ever
If I had a Time Machine, this is something I’d like to go back and watch live. So so cool
Minneapolis is just not the same without Prince. His music has and always will get this big guy moving and a groovin.
One of the best things about Prince is he made everyone that worked with him better. 🤔 or the Best of who they were, but just didn't know it. ♥️🥰 Sheila E!
Yes another person who works closely with him said that he did just that..... They actually said that he would bring you to heights that you didn't even know you had within you 🥰
Omg they had so much fun on stage. Especially including the audience!!
Funk Prince Style. The bass and drums sound full for a change to his usual way at the time. Sheila E and the band are on point all the way. Superb.
"I told you before, Kid. This stage is no place for your personal shit, man!"
Prince will forever be the King of R&B
Back when singers were singers and performers, back in the 80s and 90s best decades ever !
Oh my gawd n Baby J that's a JAM! 🤩
A TRUE Funk Athem if there ever was one! There are no Equals when it comes to this Man. Prince RIP!
More talent in his pinky, than most artist have in their whole body
If you’ve never danced on the first ave stage, you never lived
I miss him . He made the world a more bearable place. So glad he left many gifts to reflecting recharge motivation on.
The Oak Tree Wooden Leg dance was a Morris Day Diss back when they were feuding.
Great Awesome Video!!!! RIP Prince, Badass Vato!!!! Great Music 🎶🎵🎶🎵 I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!!
Finally, it's great to see a video on youtube that appears to be in real time instead of so many that are obviously out of sync. To that end, youtube should stop trying to mess with our body, mind, and spirit connection with so many of those out of sync videos.
How can it be that nice people die early... RIP PRINCE
Prince is and will be always be the man
I've never seen this performance..it's freakin' awesome..RIP Prince..Rock on Sheila E
Prince was a genius❤ Thanks for uploading!!!!
WOW, this live version is SUPER-CHARGED!
Prince and his band members plus Shelia E , Amazing entertainment!!!
love this video, love bizarre was the last song i heard Prince play live at the O2 london....It was an encore. About 1/4 of the crowd for 30 minutes was left waiting in the O2 believing Prince would come out for one more song. Then boom he came out. Prince walked through the crowd surrouned by bouncers, jumped back onto the stage, the lights went out and the horns of love bizarre kicked in. The remaining crowd stormed past security to get to the front and have one last magical dance with Prince: stuff of our wildest dreams!
back in the days we were united !
I am so glad I got to see him 3 times in concert. The first time was in 1982. Time of my Life
.I was still young when Michael Jackson and Prince came to the stage for me, so if I had to choose, it was only our Prince who clapped immediately, I can't forget him and I keep crying when I hear him sing, I hope him one day really to meet .............. a super fan from Germany
Amazing genius of the 80s…copy-ed, but never duplicated!
He was awesome many of us never realized how great he was until he passed
Prince & the Revolution are outstanding. Always good to see these clips. Will never forget the concerts I attended. Prince is the best entertainer of the 80 and 90s. Thanks Rodger and Sheila for your concerts, I loved them :-)
TO NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Prince was universal and supreme.
I watch this at least once a week!!! R.I.P. Prince☔️🕯♥️ thanks for sharing:)
Same here
Same here
Prince had that band TIGHT 😂!
Its Prince 💜. Then its everyone else,🙌 Prince 💜 never get credit for his 🩰 dancing. Prince 🎸 had no weakness. Dancing, musicianship , producing writing composer and arranger. Nothing he couldn't do. Of course his singing 🎙️
Prince was such a complete/utter/total f***ing boss. He was in absolute control but looked cool as a cucumber 😎. It must've been the best natural high to be in the audience of this show (or any of his shows). Fantastic show without lazily relying on some projected video behind the band. I miss Prince, and I miss the days when performers _performed._
Amazing, Brilliant and Everything Else. RIP --> PRINCE.
Man I miss those days!!!!!
Damn...I miss these types of performances.
🖤🌻. I WAS THERE 81/2 months PREGNANT w/my oldest child!!!
Blown away by this performance
To dance n sing at this level makes u feel a LOT of agony in ur body the older u get! No wonder prince needed pain killers to get thru gruelling dance routines n as a fellow dancer in my 50s almost i can DEF relate to that!
Ese día saltaron todas las alarmas!!!! 💃💃💃🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊✊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This. This was to me his coolest and most creative period. With the Revolution and Sheila. Love love love it.
Thanks for posting this!!! What a POWERHOUSE that little Prince was. Crazy ass energy, great dance moves, & sexy as fuck in that pink outfit. Omg❗❗❗ This guy had it ALL! GOD keep you in his glorious LOVE. No one will ever shine like you, Prince 💜 🎶 ☮
Totally! Loves it
Looks PURPLE to me.....
Im.39 and discovered this gem being born in the middle of the 80s is great i get the 80s and 90s what good times
The best time of Prince ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Back in the 80s, me and my brother went to Prince and the Revolution concert, and we had the best time.
Too Much Damm Fun!!!! Don't Ever Stop!!!!! Jamming Into Eternity!!!
