4 March 2016: it's Purple Friday (Prince Set)

[RGMike]

more Chappelle --> OMG, "Baby I'm a Star"! a bustout?

ETA: yes, appears to be

A welcome NTM choice! The organ sound reminds me of another particular song, but I'm having trouble placing it. Possibly The Bird by Morris Day and the Time.

def in that bag, as it's from Purple Rain.

[Davefish]

Sorry Don, "Take Me with You" isn't great.

[RGMike]

another hit: "Kiss"

[Davefish]

Who was that on Jimmy Fallon? Queen Latifah?

Hoping for "Erotic City" before it's too late.

[RGMike]

BOS2 "Darling Nikki"!!!  Another welcome bustout.  Grind, baby grind.

[urth]

There are probably more Purple Rain songs in this set than he'll play in his entire show tonight.

Exactly.  Talk about '80s-centric: nothing from before '82 and nothing from after '86.  with one slot left to fill.

Purple Rain trailer --> (surprise!) "Purple Rain".

wow this was (except for the 2 bustouts) kinda ridiculous.

Except one of them was an interview with a woman on Jimmy Fallon's show, I think. Do you know who that was?

OK, so the Purple Rain album has 9 songs on it. We heard 6 of them. We also heard all three of the songs from side one of 1999. And we heard Kiss. That's it, musicwise. Not a terribly deep set by anyone's yardstick, Darling Nikki notwithstanding.
