31 Jul Prince Adds Footage From Montreux To His Website
Prince @ Montreux July 18th, 2009 © 2009 DMY
Prince has listened to fans request (and mine) and has put up some footage from his Montreux performance on his official web site; LotusFlow3r.com and it is pretty funky.
He added the classic “Little Red Corvette” & the rare gem that only the hardcore know “When I Lay My Hands On You” and you can hear his guitar sing.
BTW, his website is members only and it costs $77 bucks to join. Hopefully, a DVD of this release is on it’s way. Those that can see it, what do you think?-Dr.FB
UPDATE: I just watched the clips and it is hot like soup! “When I lay Hands On You” is fire and that version of “Little Red Corvette” is the reason every Prince tour needs to be seen and released.
He changes instrumentation’s up on each of his tours of certain songs, making them different and making sure just because you saw him perform a song in 1984. doesn’t mean it will be the same in 2009.
Straight up, Prince is an American World-Wide treasure and needs to be appreciated every day he is here. Love ya man (and ya know 2 clips will only hold me the fans up for so long.) and keep funking things up for another 30.

Posted at 18:08h, 31 JulyToo cool. This man is just 2 freaking cool. I love the opening of When I Lay My Hands On U. It makes me wanna find my hard drive with the original from the NPGMC days. LRC was amazing and this arrangement made the lyrics standout like 3d, it gave me chills. Prince is just 2 cool.
To all the haters at the Org, please shut your pisks. You all complain so much about the most trivial and asinine things. Nothing seems to please anyone at the tired old Org.

Posted at 17:28h, 31 JulyI agree with everything you say Dr. FB. Especially have he always have different arrangements for his songs. I love that about him! I just got the e-mail. It’s great to see since I couldn’t see him live.

Posted at 17:16h, 31 JulyHaving been to both concerts, I think versions of When I lay My Hands On U and Little Red Corvette were tighter on concert #2. Nevertheless these one are nice too 😉

Posted at 14:02h, 31 JulyI liked it very much. I like the reworking of LRC. It always makes me teary eyed seeing him per4rm that live. Brings back so many memories. I like when he reworks his classic songs and put a new feel on it. It makes it feel like a new song. WILMEOU…brillant. He looks like he is in a new zone with the jazzy arangements. John, Renato, Rhonda, AMAZING they r…..

Posted at 13:11h, 31 JulyI can’t watch the clips cause I’m at work but I am soooo happy that Prince FINALLY added something to that site. It’s long overdue but I’m thankful. I have something to look forward to when I get home. I hope and pray that Prince will continue adding more stuff to that site. It has the potential to be something special. Woo!!!

Posted at 08:09h, 31 Julydr.f I love Prince. He never disappoints and always does things in his own time. It’s one thing I will always believe and that is “Prince loves his fans” and we love him.

Posted at 06:49h, 31 JulyI’m not a member but it’s fantastic news for the guys that are…I was at Montreux, I can safely say it was a fantastic experience, Prince out did himself!
A DVD would make sense. I hope he decides to share with the world, he is a genuine treasure, there’s lots of love for him – All the Critics is too funky to be stashed on a shelf at his office
I don’t know why he seems hung up on releasing his concerts, he knows the demand is massive!
Do it for charity already X

Posted at 06:40h, 31 JulyPRINCE’S MONTRUEX JAZZ FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES WERE BRILLIANT!!!
HIS NEW REMDITION OF ” LITTLE RED CORVETTE” IS SO FULL OF HEART AND SOUL!!! THIS IS HOW IT WOULD SOUND IF ERIC CLAPTON WOULD PERFORM IT LIVE IN HIS SETS.
PRINCE’S KILLER OPENER OF ” WHEN I LAY MY HANDS ON YOU,” IS THE ULTIMATE!!! THIS RIGHT HERE IS A RARE TREAT FOR THE HARDCORE!!!!
NOW TAKE THE SHOW TO NEW YORK CITY!!!! THANK YOU PRINCE!!!!!!!
I WAS STARTING TO WONDER WHEN AND IF WE WERE GOING TO GET OUT $77.00 WORTH!!!!!!!

Posted at 05:15h, 31 JulyWhen I received the official email announcement I immediately went to look, hear and see the new videos.
All I can tell: they have to be released on DVD.
This should not be kept for members only.
Prince totally changed his music to Montreux Jazz Style on this one. (these 2)
Hopefully he will release more as this (new Prince syle) is (jazzy) FUNKY.
