‘CRAZY 2 COOL’: The Current to play exclusive live medley by Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL
When we decided to have a little fun this winter and go all-Prince on our Local Current stream
as soon as it snows, we had no idea what Prince himself might make of
our little stunt. In fact, he loves the idea, and to help everyone get
in the Purple spirit, he’s sharing “CRAZY 2 COOL”: an exclusive live
recording that The Current will play this Friday.
The 20-minute
recording is a searing medley performed by Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL,
recorded on June 1, 2014 at Le Zenith in Paris. The Current’s airing of
the medley will be the world premiere of this authorized live recording
that contains – as Paisley Park puts it – a raucous selection of “hits
and surprises.” We’ll play it at 5:00 p.m. CT, and then again at 10:00
CT, this coming Friday, Nov. 6. Fans in our broadcast area can tune in on the radio, and everyone in Minnesota and beyond will also be able to hear the broadcast streaming online. Here’s a sneak preview:
Prince has also announced that on Saturday, he’ll share a live acoustic performance called OUI CAN LUV recorded at Paisley Park. The performance centers on Andy Allo, with Prince filling in as “special guest guitarist.” OUI CAN LUV
will stream exclusively on Tidal from 7:00 p.m. CT Saturday night
through 7:00 a.m. CT the following morning. Allo’s 2012 album Superconductor, co-produced by Prince, will also be made available on Tidal to coincide with the OUI CAN LUV stream.
Meanwhile, we’ll continue to watch the skies! When MPR News meteorologist Paul Huttner certifies that one inch of snow has officially accumulated at Paisley Park, we’ll pull the Prince lever and go all-Prince on our Local Current stream of Minnesota music—available via our website, via the free MPR Radio app for iPhones and Androids, and broadcast via 89.3 HD2 in the Twin Cities. To be alerted via e-mail as soon as we’re ready to go purple, sign up for our Purple Alert.
