Re: NPNY: BUTTER review & set list
To make a correction the "Break the Chains" song in the list is actually "The Chain" (Fleetwood Mac cover). Thnx to everyone who id'ed it for me. :) On 6/17/06, NuPwrSoul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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.

Here's the set list as I remember it. Peach Te Amo Corazon Forever In My Life Everyday People (Sly & Family Stone cover) The Ride Never Loved A Man (Aretha Franklin cover / Tamar on vox) Love Changes (Mel'isa Morgan & Kashif cover / Tamar on vox) Break the Chains (new song?) Come Together (Beatles cover / Tamar & Prince on vox) When A Man Loves A Woman (Percy Sledge cover / Tamar on vox) Red Headed Stepchild (Tamar) Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (Sly & Family Stone cover / Tamar & Prince on vox) Play That Funky Music (White Boy) (Wild Cherry cover / BET Director of Programming Stephen Hill guest on vox) Partyman 3121 Lolita Satisfied Black Sweat (Prince on keys & vox) Kiss Joy in Repetition (with Tamar song? interpolated) Anotherloverholenyohead If I Was Your Girlfriend Ecstacy (Barry White cover) jam with Be Happy, The Bird (Mary J. Blige cover / Tamar & Prince on vox, ?uestlove on drums) 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. - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

Re: NPNY: BUTTER review & set list
By the way I forgot to mention one of my favorite parts-- at the end of "3121" he sang "It's going down y'all... like George Bush's approval ratings!" hahaha And a shout out to the NYC crew holdin down up front--Kelly, U7, Jessica, Cherrymoon(?), Largeroom/Belinda (sorry if I forgot anyone); and a big shout out and pound to Andy for keepin it light back where we were standing... through Andy, Beyonce spoke to me :D (I was telling him how fly she looked as she walked by and she stopped turned around looked at me and said "Hi!" Of course I just looked at her in hypnotic disbelief LOL) On 6/17/06, NuPwrSoul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To make a correction the "Break the Chains" song in the list is > actually "The Chain" (Fleetwood Mac cover).

RE: NPNY: BUTTER review & set list
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.

Re: NPNY: BUTTER review & set list
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.
