This amazing performance of “17 Days” was captured on April 28, 2011 at The Forum in Inglewood, CA. The fan favorite was originally released as the B-side to “When Doves Cry” and Prince performs it here with his 2011-era lineup of the New Power Generation, including Shelby J., Liv Warfield, Elisa Fiorillo, and Morris Hayes, additional keyboardists Renato Neto and Cassandra O’Neal, bassist Ida Nielsen, drummer John Blackwell, and dancers Maya and Nandy McClean (The Twinz). The song includes a fun segue into the band covering Teena Marie’s “Lovergirl” from her 1984 album Starchild. The complete performance of this live concert is included in the Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America, the highly anticipated first full complete album released from Prince’s legendary Paisley Park vault. Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously archived by Prince, the statement album documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice.
The Deluxe Edition includes the complete studio vault album on both CD and black vinyl (accompanied with a hi-res digital download). The black vinyl edition will have music on three sides and a collectible etching on the fourth side. The live concert video, presented in 1080p HD with stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos audio, was captured midway through his legendary marathon “21 Nite Stand” at The Forum and this performance documents the spontaneity and incendiary energy of that historic portion of the Welcome 2 America Tour - an audiovisual testament to the proclamation he made at the launch of the tour in October, 2010, stating “Bring friends, bring Ur children, and bring foot spray, because… it’s gonna B funky.”
Besides “17 Days,” the performance features covers of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love,” Janet Jackson’s “What Have You Done For Me Lately” and Roxy Music’s “More Than This” alongside Prince favorites including “Controversy,” “1999,” “Purple Rain” and many more. The Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America will be presented as a luxe gold-foil package designed by GRAMMY-nominated artist Mathieu Bitton and GRAMMY-nominated creative director and Prince associate Trevor Guy, complete with a 12”x12” 32-page companion book and embossed vellum envelope containing exclusive Welcome 2 America era ephemera (photographic art print, 23”x36” poster, replica setlist, ticket, VIP invitation and backstage passes). Experienced as a complete package, the Deluxe Edition provides a multidimensional and immersive view of Prince’s creative genius during his spontaneous, energetic, and thought-provoking Welcome 2 America era.

Been a Prince fan since ‘78. The crazy thing about Prince was that he was a bada$$ out the gate with his music & showmanship and continued to get better and better until the very end. The collection of concerts over the course of the last decade of his life I’ve seen on KZfaq are masterclasses of perfection. A master and certainly transcendent. One of the greats and very best.

If you want to see what made Prince special just watch him 5:40-6:28 in this video. His rhythm guitar playing was unreal. This chord progression is Gm to F to Gm/Eb to F and back to Gm. This progression is not easy to do and he's not only playing it, but he's adding funk to it WHILE HE'S TALKING. He makes it look effortless, but there's very few people on the planet that can play like that and talk or sing at the same time. We often hear "there'll never be another" and Prince is in that category. What a joy he was to watch and listen to!

This is why I'm an undying Prince fan. True Prince essence. 17 Days is my all-time favorite Prince song, so a little admitted bias with this video. One of the best things about going to a Prince concert was that everyone felt welcome and involved. I love how he musically supports, gives credit, and allows the spotlight to shine on all of the real musicians that support him in making this concert more than amazing -- he even gives thanks to the audience, who he uses as an instrument. Amazing talent, amazing lyrics, amazing music, amazing experience. Thank you Prince!

Prince did not do drugs and everyone has just accepted this explanation and moved on. I am starting to think something malicious happened and the detectives just didn’t probe enough to get the real story.

It’s a little too late to change your mind to see him live now, unfortunately. 😉 But, if it’s any consolation… even pumping this through Dolby digital surround sound and streaming it on a 100 inch 8k screen, STILL doesn’t compare to a live performance. The camera isn’t capable of capturing the dynamic energy that flowed from this man. He was the BEST.

The best thing about seeing Prince back in the day, was that You could buy front row or almost front row through sheer determination. Just be first in line at a Ticketmaster. This usually meant going there around 9pm and “camping out” overnight until the next morning when ticket sales started at 10am. You brought a blanket and parked your bum on the sidewalk outside the door. And the kicker? The front rows tickets were the same price as any main floor. I paid about $80/ticket

This is actually an extremely rare performance of this song. He SELDOMLY played it in concert and very rarely with the second verse. As a matter of fact, this was the first complete version since at least ‘85. He performed partial renditions on the ‘86 “Parade” tour as well as extremely rare renditions on the short “Love 4 One Another Charities Tour” in ‘97 which served as a test gig for the larger “Jam Of The Year Tour” which launched later that year. I had a soundboard recording of this show and a few others from this era on my page a few years back before the KZfaq police snatched them down. 🙄 🤦🏾♂️ You may remember. But anyway, this is why this tour is #2 for me right after “Lovesexy” because of not only the unparalleled musicianship and attention to detail by the band, but also because of the MASSIVE setlist range. He was so spontaneous during this era, you NEVER knew WHAT he was gonna do next! Sometimes three or four encores! And his band churned out funky renditions of his classics that were strikingly similar to the original recordings but somehow totally FRESH! This performance paired with rare performances of “Gold” “The Beautiful Ones” or “Adore” from this era shows the great attention to detail this incarnation of the NPG was capable of. And that’s why I consider them to be perhaps the best band that he ever played with. He IS the absolute greatest. 💜

And, that's the problem with today's so called "talent." They and what passes for their music, are completely disposable. Prince, Hendrix, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Otis Redding, David Bowie, Chuck Berry, Aretha, Marvin Gaye, John Lennon, Billie Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr., Little Richard were one-a-kind, once in a lifetime, immortal, irreplaceable artists.

Those who grew up with his music and saw him live, I admire you.

As brilliant as he was in every other area (and he was!), live shows were his special place, maybe because it was a group effort of "real musicians making real music" and he loved that. What a performer. It's my hope that as these videos of his live shows are released, more and more people who only ever thought of him as 'that purple rain guy' see how much he grew from that very early success into the GOAT that he is, was, and forever will be. My heart is with him always.
