The whole series of Prince and (the Golden Era of) the Revolution rehearsing in a Minneapolis warehouse has already been featured on a number of different social networking convergence points but I can’t avoid putting “All Day, All Night” and “Irresistible Bitch” on here. It’s so satisfying and such a privilege to have this candid glimpse into a 26 year old Prince surrounded by friends, doing what he loves, in an environment he is more than at home in and has total control over (although I suppose that translates to it being pretty much the same as him being on stage, minus an audience).

Thank you very much to Pepepurito2 of YouTube for plucking these from the hardcore Prince fandom bootleg circuit and sharing them with the internet.

UPDATE: AS IS THE WAY WITH PRINCE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET, THESE ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. BIT OF A DOWNER BUT THEY WERE KILLER WHILE THEY LASTED.
