    The thing that most impresses me about Prince's piano playing is how much he has his own style. He really does and he was obviously very confident in that style. He was a really good player and he isn't massively known for his ability on the piano, beyond the fairly basic piano, keyboard and synth parts he plays on his albums.

    OK you've managed to make me tear up and make my bottom lip tremble. It's hearing unearthed gems like this, that really reminds me just how much I miss Prince. If you listen to this loud in a room by yourself with your eyes closed, you can almost visualise Prince sitting at the piano, eyes shut and drawing on personal/life experiences, painful, happy and letting them out while playing and when he's done he stands up with a clear and focused mind (and Peggy in the booth doing her thing.) Well, that's what I imagine anyway ......

    And its clearly fleshed out already. Reminding us that he didnt REALLY have TIME periods in the way we think of them. He simply put them together to fit style of record. He was incredibly diverse at STYLE. I can only tell WHEN by the equipment used. And even then no guarantee of timeframe. Best who has EVER been

      Dunno about 'proto' - the song had been recorded live for the album at FirstAvenue six months earlier and was still being edited down (from 14 minutes) for the March pre-release and April final version of the album (4 minutes). Seems the final editing was done at Sunset Sound (just a few weeks after this recording) so there seems good reason he'd have it in mind (maybe he's trying out prospective edits here?)
