The Mountains and the Sea - A Prince Podcast

Did you miss it? An album episode! Well, the first half of 2014’s Art Official Age. Dubbed an “R&B fantasia” this album is unusual and wide ranging, but ever so Prince-like. Off we go! Art Off, that is… #Prince episodes.fm/1353161717

We loved seeing Prince pull out his purple symbol guitar for Purple Rain at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA

Prince promised - erroneously in hindsight, thank goodness - that the Musicology Tour would be the last time he’d play his hits. Thankfully he ended the March 29, 2004 with Purple Rain, and would play his most famous song the rest of his life.

Prince took in thunderous applause at the conclusion of 7 at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA

Another song that was likely a tribute to David Coleman, even thought it wasn’t explicitly stated, was 7 at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA

Prince dedicated Sometimes It Snows In April to David Coleman, Revolution bandmate Lisa’s brother. He was very influential in the creation of Around The World In A Day. wdrv.com/the-revolution…

The particularly poignant-in-hindsight Sometimes It Snows In April was well received at the encore at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA

A somewhat mournful rearrangement of the early-career hit Little Red Corvette at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA was a delight

The cheekiness of the encore at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA continued with the final song from the Musicology album, On The Couch

Video of Prince playing Forever In My Life and the unreleased 12:01 on the simulcast March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour youtube.com/watch?v=m_C548…

Prince played a holy grail of a concert song at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA: the very cheeky unreleased 12:01

The encore started with the romantic Forever in My Life at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA

Prince returned to the stage for an encore at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA. He changed to a black sleeveless outfit, played a black guitar and sat on the same stool he used at Webster Hall

This slide from the Musicology simulcast on March 29, 2004 is just flat wrong. Prince toured arenas in 1997, just seven years prior

I guess it’s possible for the audience of the Musicology simulcast on March 29, 2004 to have missed these performances

We got confirmation of something we didn’t know for sure: The simulcast audience DID get a tour copy of the Musicology album on March 29, 2004

Some of the “trivia” displayed during the Musicology simulcast on March 29, 2004 was questionable. Prince wrote these songs, the other artists sang them, but they weren’t written FOR these artists

The simulcast audience got some generic information and dubious trivia for the March 29, 2004 Musicology tour show

The in-person audience had to wait in darkness for nearly 7 minutes. The simulcast audience of the Musicology Tour got confirmation Prince would return on March 29, 2004

Prince required the audience to earn the encore with screams at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA

During Take Me With U at the March 29, 2004 Musicology Tour stop in LA, John Blackwell busted out with some 777-9311
