Some Golden Era Prince Videos

A good friend of mine, who is also the drummer and bandleader of one the groups I play in, is a devout Prince head and managed to find a ton of great 80's and early 90's live Prince videos. Prince is famously vigilant about keeping his work from being streamed or pirated on the internet, so enjoy these videos quick before his team of inter-gallactic-transvestite-sex-lawyers comes to take me away.

"Hot Thing" pretty clearly lip-synched but the theatrics, and the dancing and the performance in general are pretty incredible
