Wouldn't be surprised if he got them from Sheila... she's been
Prince's talent scout for future bandmembers since she came on the
scene back in 84.

Actually the I think both (please correct me) are from Sheila's Crew. I know
the guy with the trumptet was definitely at her Birthday party at the Roxy a
couple of years ago blowing his a** off. And the trombone player looked
familiar from the same crew.

band but a new guy.

Subject: NPNY: BUTTER review & set list
Here's my review of the Butter show... feel free to correct any mistakes on
the set list, etc.
Show started at approx 1 a.m., ending at 3:50 a.m.
Venue was VERY SMALL. No stage/raised platform. Seemed like about
125 members in the NPG line (def no more than 150 in the joint).
Celebs in attendance included Nas, Kelis, Jay Z, Beyonce, P. Diddy, Paris
Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Stephen Hill (BET Dir of Programming), ?uestlove.
Let me say this tho, Prince & co. had to see that were it NOT for the NPG Members who
were there, the party would have been DEAD. With few exceptions the celebs spent their time
text message each other and their friends, talking, and just basking in the
"status" of being a VIP at a private exclusive Prince party. :roll: The only
energy from the audience was brought by the NPGMC members!!
Here's the set list as I remember it.

Joy in Repetition (with Tamar song? interpolated) Anotherloverholenyohead If I Was

Some notes:
Personnel: Prince, Tamar, Morris, Josh, Cora, Ray (trumpet), Greg (trumbone),
?uestlove (guest on drums), Stephen Hill (guest on vox).
There were some "undertaker" moments where Prince just went CRAZY with the
guitar. All the songs were performed in their entirety, or event in extended jams. The
3121 material sounds AMAZING live. Prince's reinvention of some of the classics--esp
Anotherlover... is a guitar playing frenzy--it's almost heavy metal what he was doing to
that song. He was in a very playful mood, the sound / acoustics were amazing, his vocals
were in tip top shape (some of his best vocal work in terms of range, sustain, and
timbre, in a long time), he even danced around a bit. Because there was no stage or
raised platform, this was truly a LISTENING experience more than a visual one, and it was
a great show.
