There may not have been a tour or a ton of promotion surrounding Chaos and Disorder, but there is plenty still to chat about. There were videos, alternate versions, and even a couple talk-show performances to dig into.

Pop up shows were common in Prince’s career, but there was a special treat at First Avenue on March 8, 1982: Prince, most of what would become The Revolution, AND The Time. But don’t call it a concert - this was a dance.

It’s time for THE Time! The eponymous album, largely written and performed by Prince with help from Morris Day and a few others, was an outlet. Little did Prince know he was creating the band that would be his greatest touring “rival”!

The Controversy Tour visited Saginaw, Michigan in February 1982 - the fab show we are talking about in this episode - but don’t expect to get to any songs from the album for a WHILE. Doesn’t matter, it’s a funky ride!

Sometimes, what gets officially released lacks a… special something. The first of several episodes of Prince’s original Graffiti Bridge-Era songs that didn’t make an album or got released in a different version.

T.C. - Twin Cities. True Confessions. Time Capsule. Whatever T.C. stands for, it was the moniker for David Ellis during his brief rap career and tenure with Prince. We talk about a couple tracks from his album and what the Graffiti Bridge alum has been up to.
