The more you go down the Prince rabbit hole the more you'll see why us Prince fans get so irritated when people refer to Prince as a "pop star" This man was way more than that & he wasn't obsessing over billboards & being in magazines after a certain point in his career. Prince said even during Purple Rain that he had ZERO interest in making a "Purple Rain 2" The record labels try to force that but his music always changed. Prince wanted to create artistry. Prince has meditation music, instrumental jazz albums, metal classics, r&b, hip hop, techno, i can go on. Prince wasn't Madonna or Michael Jackson, there's no offense to them, they both deserve their love and praise but Prince was a TRUE musician & didn't have linear music. He was our Mozart. He is the best to ever do it in my humble opinion. If you're interested in Prince's instrumental music maybe when you're cleaning the house, vibing, medititating or whatever off camera. I highly recommend to start with these piano melodies. "Venus De Milo" "Arborterum" "Alexis De Paris" "Gamilah" These are great entry points to his beautiful piano work. 🤗
Yea he was so much more than a pop star! The real deal through and through, Prince did what Prince wanted and his fans loved it! I think that’s what I like about him the most
If you are into jazz, checkout his early music from around 1977, very Spyra Gyra, Chick Corea. Or, a more funky, jazz fusion his Madhouse albums from the 80s. All instrumentals.
Prince was breathtaking, a wholly unique artist who could not be contained into one genre of music. IMHO he was more akin to Kate Bush than Madonna or MJ who also straddled pop while creating wholly original music. The summer of 1958 was a vintage year for sure - Prince (Jun), Kate (Jul), Madonna (Aug), MJ (Aug). Prince's talent was second to none, like he once said "making music is like breathing to me". We will never see another Prince.
You nailed it re: the fan base. But it was equal parts give-and-take. His fans loved him and he always paid it back at shows, just like you mentioned: grand spectacle or low-key intimate moments like this. A ticket to a Prince was as close to a guaranteed good time as you could ever hope for.
We Prince fans have always told people we don’t keep score by radio hits. This is the perfect example- a medley where a lot of people would only recognize RB, but the arena of real fans are singing the album cuts.
@@setonhillstudiosyou should really get the whole concert experience by watching the entire set. I believe this is from his LoveSexy Dortmund show (Germany)
Fun fact Prince sang Starfish and coffee on the Muppet show (Muppets tonight) Also lighters and sparklers were a concert staple! We didn’t have cellphones with annoying lights in the way. Just a raised flame!
That concert is worth watching. From him coming out in his Dads car, to spinning a basketball on his finger and making the shot, to the piano medley etc. Won't tell ya all he did but it's a must see💜💜
OMG, I just loooooove Prince. So glad I grew up listening to him, having him, more than anyone else, influencing my own musical creativity. Prince, my unrequited mentor!
Love your reactions. Thank you for your honesty and respect. I knew Prince personally, was in a video of his . I have always been family ( Prince preferred fam to fans, fans are fanatics. He didn't want that) since I was 13. The chance to be around him at Paisley Park in Chanhassen Minnesota was beyond a dream come to. I want others to know he was a gentleman, he was funny , kind , insightful extremely hard working. Day and Night he was dressed to the nines . Mostly he was a sweetheart. I treasure our conversations . Please don't believe the lies of how he transitioned. He was extremely health conscious. Prince gave so much to humanity more than music. He didn't want anyone to know . Princes heart was was as big as all out doors. Prince was just that on or off stage. I will 4ever miss this phenomenal man. #peaceandstaywild
Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Prince seemed like the real deal and I believe it that he was dressed to the nines day and night! He definitely put the work in and left a lasting legacy on music and more!
Prince was the man and with all his greatness the world will never forget see another Prince like him in our life time RIP Prince we will forever miss you and love you Prince ❤❤❤
That Lovesexy concert was absolutely amazing, I remember watching it at the time on channel 4 in the UK. There's just no better entertainer and musician
The Lovesexy Tour of 1988. Billed as the "Greatest Show on Earth". Michael Jackson and Madonna both had shows that year as well. Of all the three Prince's was the most expensive one of all at 1 million per show. It would be the most expensive tour of his entire career. This is the now, legendary Dortmund, Germany show. It was televised in all of Europe and it is where this recording comes from. He was paid 2 million for it. The outfit was designed by his personal designer, Ms. Helen Hiatt. When 2 are in Love Intro-From the Lovesexy Album Venus De Milo-From the Parade album. 1986 Starfish & Coffee-From the Sign 'O the Times album. 1987 Raspberry Beret-From the Around The World in a Day album. 1985 Condition of the Heart-From the Around the World in a Day. 1985 Strange Relationship-From Sign 'O the Times. 1987 When 2 are in Love Outro
'Venus de Milo's is on Prince's Parade album and yes the song is also in his movie 'Under the Cherry Moon.' That album is incredible and I also love the movie. 💜💜💜
@@angeliquesoul6719Yes and the title Venus de Milo contains the name Miles Davis rearranged. Not a tribute to Miles, but a reference to the jazz legend that Prince really respected and even collaborated with briefly
@@jonylawson73 it is most certainly a yes. It is the name of a jazz standard by Miles Davis, contains many letters of his name, and prince chose that name as he collaborated briefly with Miles Davis around that time (1986 - rubberband sessions). Prince chose that name in respect of Miles Davis.

WOW!!! It’s so amazing awesome watching you enjoy the music I grew up listening to. I have been a Prince fan since 1978 and always will be it’s just so unfortunate that we will never see a gifted artist like him in our lifetime.💜💜💜💜💜💜 keep the live Performances of Prince coming; enjoyed watching
I was there ⚜️NEW ORLEANS⚜️ for the LOVESEXY 88 TOUR it was 2hrs with a 30min intermission. This was PRINCE last time playing his more risky songs from Yesteryear I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER and DIRTY MIND ETC. WAS THE 1ST HALF OF SHOW. 2ND HALF WAS MORE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF PRINCE. GODLY SONGS SUCH GOD AND I WISH YOU HEAVEN ETC.
I am thoroughly enjoying watching you delve further into Prince. Thanks so much for doing this one. I see others have talked about the Lovesexy tour and where Starfish & Coffee came from so I don’t need to add anything further to that. Looking forward to the next one 💜💜💜
💜 O+-> 💜. A true Maestro. Webster's definition of a Maestro is an eminent composer, conductor, or teacher of music and Prince was all of those things so much more. ☮🕊💜🎶 You are beautiful, loved and dearly missed ☔️
Lovesexy tour was my first time I saw him in concert. I won tickets on a local radio station. The show was in Oakland 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. Such an awesome experience. 💜
The concert was performed on a circular stage in the center of the stadium. He doesn't walk off the stage, he walks under it; which is where they did his outfit changes.
Yes, that was the time when you could easily took sparklers, lighters and water bottles to a concert! :)) And there weren't hundreds of people in front of you blocking your view with their cell phones in the air... Nice Prince reactions, btw! I was lucky enough to see him live 3 times here in Europe - unforgettable memories!!
Piano was his main instrument, he would compose most songs on piano like Purple Rain etc His father was Jazz pianist. So you hear in that concert the first pure version of a Prince song. That's how most Prince songs sounded first ine oiano only before arranging and adfing other instruments
This was an interlude during his LoveSexy show. He did this at the NEC Arena Birmingham UK. Don't know if this is recorded at that venue but it's exactly as I remember it from 1988 I think?? The stage was in the middle of the arena floor. He was wheeled to the stage (right in front of me) in a a huge gear packing crate. Then the car from the Alphabet Street video on hydrolics traversed the parameter of the circular stage, stopped and Prince stepped out and went straight into Alphabet Street. He also shot a basketball into a hoop behind his back (first time) and ascended on a 20 foot platform during The Cross. Truly magical performance even to a 17 year old who was into his rock music at the time.
The piano medley was the best part of multiple Prince concerts. I saw this tour at Wembley arena, but the best medley for me was at the O2 in London in 2007. For like 15 minutes, he’d start playing something and the crowd would scream with anticipation, and then he’d stop and say “Nah, y’all ain’t ready for that”. Then he’d start another, and throw that away too. 20 songs we all loved, including 8 or 9 huge hits, and he just threw them away, because…he was Prince doing Prince things. How I miss him.
Prince is the GOAT ...always 4ever... I also love Electric Intercourse he plays piano on it also...early years ...we are all still devoted to him... I miss him so much everyday ..I still cry ...tears go here... Starfish and Coffee is about a story Wendy and Lisa told him about a girl they went to school with ...she was autisitc... I took my 2 grandsons I raised to his welcome to america concert it was the last one I got to go to ... he was and i s the best
You do know this was only part of the concert, of course he did a full concert with his showmanship, singing and dancing. The piano was his first instrument, therefore he was superior on that instrument as well, not just the guitar. He was a musical savant.
Just found your channel. Love your reactions! I would like you to check out Prince "Motherless Child" live from Spain. His stage management is masterful. Enjoy! ❤
the last song is from Madhouse 8, track 3 , rare af to find , a jazz group Prince did with Eric Leeds and Sheila E........there is NO Titles til 24, 1st Album is name 1-8, 2nd ablum is 8-16, it wasnt til 24 (which you have to hit a bee in the but to get) was there titles for tracks
My kids told me every time I listen to him after 2016 I get this look on my face like they take me back to the hospital.. I mourned that man like a widow… And now I’m obsessed with Metallica😂 😂😂
He is surely missed and was such an incredible talent! We definitely have to get some more Metallica on the channel! We have one video where they played in Moscow I believe. If you go to our homepage you can find it under the playlist ‘Bands • Groups.’ Hopefully more of them too come on the channel sooner rather than later!
Lovesexy tour in Dormunt. I got It in VHS vídeo tape.Its Such a fantàstic live performance. I saw Prince three times in Barcelona , man when you hear the first beat of the drumm your body can't stop moving , dancing till the end. Congratulations, good job nice reaction. Keep on rocking Greetings from Barcelona
He wrote Starfish and Coffee after his girlfriend at the time, Susannah Melvoin, told him a story about an austistic girl she went to school with. She would tell him stories about Cynthia from time to time and one day he asked her to write down the whole story in detail. He went down to the studio alone that night and came back upstairs a few hours later with this song done.
Ahhh, you beat me to telling the story. Susannah wrote that Cynthia would say that she had Starfish and Pee Pee in her lunchbox, so Prince changed it to coffee.
@@danielcowan8673 Starbucks wasn't a household name in 1987, but they had a foothold in the Pacific Northwest and were starting to expand nationwide. The whole upscale coffee house was practically unknown at the time so to get a Starbucks in your city was exciting. I wonder if the mermaid/star logo wasn't the subliminal origins of the lyric "Starfish and Coffee" or just a coincidence.
I'm afraid I was one of the peeps with sparklers in there :) They distributed them in the bus from Holland (most peeps in there were Dutch, bussed in from Holland to populate this show. It was being televised , and I think Prince loved a Dutch crowd). Fun times!
If I remember correctly the Lovesexy concert in Holland had to be cancelled and they made up by giving the Dutch fans tickets and busses to Dortmund, Germany. I saw the Lovesexy concert in Antwerp, Belgium. I had gotten hooked to Prince two years earlier. He was actually very popular in Europe and toured there about every year with a new album. After this tour, I started to go to multiple concerts each tour and ended up seeing him 57 times in concert, including some rare aftershows. I still miss him everyday 😢
Mm no. It’s Prince drawing from the same or a similar time period but executing it in a way only he could. Prince’s clothes were all custom and mostly born of his ideas.
I call this look, his sexy pirate look! 😁 Please check out his Madhouse material, 80s funky jazz! Later material on his N.E.W.S. album have a smoother jazz fusion. He was a playful brat on stage during the early tours. One press nickname was His Royal Badness! 😁
I was there… Mate of mine called me up early in the morning; “so-and-so got the flue or something, so I got this extra ticket, get your ass over here, you’re going to Prince!’. And i was ‘mkay…’, cause I wasn’t into prince all that much. Long story short: by the time Housequake kicked off and prince did that split I was delirious. The rest is history.
You have to check out the „Septimo 1999“ Show. Especially the song „Motherless Child„ always blows my head off. His vocals and guitar playing are so awesome….
Be sure to check out Prince on Muppets Tonight. He and the Muppets do a great production of "Starfish & Coffee" which is one of if not THE best all-ages appropriate songs by Prince.
Quincy Jones was jealous of prince prince could do it all he produced all his own music played it wrote it danced it he was way more talented than any other musician 🎉💜
'Starfish & Coffee' is a song in the double album 'Sign O'The Times' wich, in my opinion could be his best one. At least in my top 5. Add to your browser an ad bl ok er exten sion. Like ubl ok - Origin and say goodbye to YT ads and mostly all webs and social media. Warning: I only get it to work on PCs and laptops.
It was a concert in Germany with only a Dutch audience, because Prince had a bond with the Dutchies. But on this tour he forced people to sing along and praise the Lord with him...Now there's one thing Dutch people hate and that's forcing.... and especially religion. That's something you keep to yourself. You can still hear the anger whistles in the audience...but Prince handled it fantastic with a tease and his fabulous humor.
Anger whistles? When? Just whistles to me… The audience wasn’t very respectful cheering the stupid football chant related “Holland!” You keep that shite to yourself. Not the place not the time. Respect what the artist wants to show and if you don’t like it you can leave. Nobody forced you. Prince asks the audience clap your hands or sing along in every show
@@Cormac-jd2kx If you as an artist feel the need to through in some religious stuff fine ( Anna Stacia). But you can expect a reaction and it might not be your cup of tea.. Everyone has had some experiences with that. And the Dutch make it very clear that they don't like it. In America it's standard that you flaunt with god. Just a cultural difference. I thought Prince handled it well and it 's not nice of the audience to react the way they did....the whistles were out of anger... not to join in , but rather to disturb and it's annoying and disrepectfull.
@@sldorhout1religious? Annastesia is spiritual and about drugs but mainly spiritual like most of his output. The whole tour and album was gospel in his own words. If the Dutch (you talk as if they were ALL sheep 😂) were such a good audience (which obviously aren’t) as they say they would at least KNOW what Prince was about in the first place and the would respect the artist as a norm of politeness. Prince was basically church according to Miles Davis and to anyone that knows what time it is. I guess the Dutch would never visit a Buddhist temple or any Christian cathedral or a Hindu temple or Shinto shrine etc Probably whistle some football chants nobody cares 😂 I’ve attended shows in America Japan and all over Europe. The worst crowd? The Dutch 😂 I remember even in a sound check in 2004 in Rotterdam Prince was asking the people please not to smoke and they didn’t care. The smell of pot was all over the place and it was Prince the one that decided letting people in to be in the sound check. Then after the concert in the aftershow Prince was in a bad mood and everyone noticed. I wonder why

The more you go down the Prince rabbit hole the more you'll see why us Prince fans get so irritated when people refer to Prince as a "pop star" This man was way more than that & he wasn't obsessing over billboards & being in magazines after a certain point in his career. Prince said even during Purple Rain that he had ZERO interest in making a "Purple Rain 2" The record labels try to force that but his music always changed. Prince wanted to create artistry. Prince has meditation music, instrumental jazz albums, metal classics, r&b, hip hop, techno, i can go on. Prince wasn't Madonna or Michael Jackson, there's no offense to them, they both deserve their love and praise but Prince was a TRUE musician & didn't have linear music. He was our Mozart. He is the best to ever do it in my humble opinion. If you're interested in Prince's instrumental music maybe when you're cleaning the house, vibing, medititating or whatever off camera. I highly recommend to start with these piano melodies. "Venus De Milo" "Arborterum" "Alexis De Paris" "Gamilah" These are great entry points to his beautiful piano work. 🤗

Yea he was so much more than a pop star! The real deal through and through, Prince did what Prince wanted and his fans loved it! I think that’s what I like about him the most
If you are into jazz, checkout his early music from around 1977, very Spyra Gyra, Chick Corea. Or, a more funky, jazz fusion his Madhouse albums from the 80s. All instrumentals.
Prince was breathtaking, a wholly unique artist who could not be contained into one genre of music. IMHO he was more akin to Kate Bush than Madonna or MJ who also straddled pop while creating wholly original music. The summer of 1958 was a vintage year for sure - Prince (Jun), Kate (Jul), Madonna (Aug), MJ (Aug). Prince's talent was second to none, like he once said "making music is like breathing to me". We will never see another Prince.

Prince was touring a full show with just him alone on the piano, no band, when he died. By all accounts those shows were remarkable.

💯
Prince is leaving the stage to change for the encore (let’s go crazy/when doves cry/Purple Rain/ Alphabet St.)
That makes sense!
The Dutch fans were super hardcore right the end. They would turn up to watch him blow his nose
I Wish U Heaven and The Cross from the same concert are insanely good, goosebumps level
I bet they’re epic, I’ll have to check them out!
@@setonhillstudios For sure, and his live performance of Motherless Child will blow you away too
the last song is from Madhouse 8, track 3 , rare af to find , a jazz group Prince did with Eric Leeds and Sheila E........there is NO Titles til 24, 1st Album is name 1-8, 2nd ablum is 8-16, it wasnt til 24 (which you have to hit a bee in the but to get) was there titles for tracks
My kids told me every time I listen to him after 2016 I get this look on my face like they take me back to the hospital.. I mourned that man like a widow… And now I’m obsessed with Metallica😂 😂😂
He is surely missed and was such an incredible talent! We definitely have to get some more Metallica on the channel! We have one video where they played in Moscow I believe. If you go to our homepage you can find it under the playlist ‘Bands • Groups.’ Hopefully more of them too come on the channel sooner rather than later!
@@setonhillstudios 1.6 million people attend that concert. It was the largest heavy-metal concert in the world.
Y'all should react to his Little Red Corvette performance on Monteeux jazz festival 2009!
Only watching because you are reacting to Our Purple Yoda
Lovesexy tour in Dormunt. I got It in VHS vídeo tape.Its Such a fantàstic live performance.
I saw Prince three times in Barcelona , man when you hear the first beat of the drumm your body can't stop moving , dancing till the end.
Congratulations, good job nice reaction.
Keep on rocking
Greetings from Barcelona
Glad you enjoyed the video! Prince was such a good entertainer, I can’t imagine having gotten to see him live!
He wrote Starfish and Coffee after his girlfriend at the time, Susannah Melvoin, told him a story about an austistic girl she went to school with. She would tell him stories about Cynthia from time to time and one day he asked her to write down the whole story in detail. He went down to the studio alone that night and came back upstairs a few hours later with this song done.
Oh wow, that’s so cool!
Ahhh, you beat me to telling the story. Susannah wrote that Cynthia would say that she had Starfish and Pee Pee in her lunchbox, so Prince changed it to coffee.
@@danielcowan8673 Starbucks wasn't a household name in 1987, but they had a foothold in the Pacific Northwest and were starting to expand nationwide. The whole upscale coffee house was practically unknown at the time so to get a Starbucks in your city was exciting. I wonder if the mermaid/star logo wasn't the subliminal origins of the lyric "Starfish and Coffee" or just a coincidence.
Lovesexy was my first prince concert and still the best out of 14 tours saw him on in uk. Was in 2 halves , with 20 min break in middle.
I bet the show as a whole was incredible!
I'm afraid I was one of the peeps with sparklers in there :) They distributed them in the bus from Holland (most peeps in there were Dutch, bussed in from Holland to populate this show. It was being televised , and I think Prince loved a Dutch crowd). Fun times!
🤣 the sparklers threw me off for sure!
If I remember correctly the Lovesexy concert in Holland had to be cancelled and they made up by giving the Dutch fans tickets and busses to Dortmund, Germany.
I saw the Lovesexy concert in Antwerp, Belgium. I had gotten hooked to Prince two years earlier. He was actually very popular in Europe and toured there about every year with a new album. After this tour, I started to go to multiple concerts each tour and ended up seeing him 57 times in concert, including some rare aftershows. I still miss him everyday 😢
The piano the outfit the hair...everything is an ode to Liberace. Anybody else pick up on this?
@setonhillstudios you commented on the outfit. after watching a few minutes realized this whole performance is likely his nod to another great artist.
Funny how many called him the modern day Mozart/20th Century Mozart. Makes me look at the outfit differently.
Mm no. It’s Prince drawing from the same or a similar time period but executing it in a way only he could. Prince’s clothes were all custom and mostly born of his ideas.
@@BigFairee possibly both. Only he knows the breadth and depth of his influences. Nevertheless, there is an aesthetic lineage.
I call this look, his sexy pirate look! 😁 Please check out his Madhouse material, 80s funky jazz! Later material on his N.E.W.S. album have a smoother jazz fusion. He was a playful brat on stage during the early tours. One press nickname was His Royal Badness! 😁
I was there… Mate of mine called me up early in the morning; “so-and-so got the flue or something, so I got this extra ticket, get your ass over here, you’re going to Prince!’. And i was ‘mkay…’, cause I wasn’t into prince all that much. Long story short: by the time Housequake kicked off and prince did that split I was delirious. The rest is history.
Haha 🤣 Love that! Thanks for sharing the memory and hanging out! Prince is and will always be, mindblowing!
You seen paly gutiar now watch this I play piano too this guy is amazing.
Our Mozart..
This is outrageously great!
💯
You have to check out the „Septimo 1999“ Show. Especially the song „Motherless Child„ always blows my head off. His vocals and guitar playing are so awesome….
Sounds awesome!
His guitar wasn’t his best though…
You could see he wasn’t practicing enough in 98-99…
Too many things going on
I am no guitar player, but for me it sounds great. And he holds everyone in the palm of his hands, the audience and the musicians, it is fantastic …
He actually holds back a bunch of piano; a lot of showing off, but this is great as always.
👏👏👏📽️
Be sure to check out Prince on Muppets Tonight. He and the Muppets do a great production of "Starfish & Coffee" which is one of if not THE best all-ages appropriate songs by Prince.
Gotta check that out! Thanks!
Killer!!
Liberace style
The outfit was Renaissance inspired
Straight 🔥 🔥
Prince’s best songs are not the “hits”. You really need to do more research and homework. Prince is simply a musical genius. The Mozart of our time.
You are absolutely right 💜
I’m sorry Quincy Jones. Prince was way more than just an “ok piano player”.
Quincy Jones was jealous of prince prince could do it all he produced all his own music played it wrote it danced it he was way more talented than any other musician 🎉💜
Starfish & Coffee is a song from Sign O' The Times. You should familiarize yourself!
Liberace and Peter Pan on dope.
'Starfish & Coffee' is a song in the double album 'Sign O'The Times' wich, in my opinion could be his best one. At least in my top 5.

It was a concert in Germany with only a Dutch audience, because Prince had a bond with the Dutchies. But on this tour he forced people to sing along and praise the Lord with him...Now there's one thing Dutch people hate and that's forcing.... and especially religion. That's something you keep to yourself. You can still hear the anger whistles in the audience...but Prince handled it fantastic with a tease and his fabulous humor.
Gotcha!
Anger whistles? When?
Just whistles to me…
The audience wasn’t very respectful cheering the stupid football chant related “Holland!”
You keep that shite to yourself. Not the place not the time.
Respect what the artist wants to show and if you don’t like it you can leave. Nobody forced you. Prince asks the audience clap your hands or sing along in every show
@@Cormac-jd2kx If you as an artist feel the need to through in some religious stuff fine ( Anna Stacia). But you can expect a reaction and it might not be your cup of tea.. Everyone has had some experiences with that. And the Dutch make it very clear that they don't like it. In America it's standard that you flaunt with god. Just a cultural difference. I thought Prince handled it well and it 's not nice of the audience to react the way they did....the whistles were out of anger... not to join in , but rather to disturb and it's annoying and disrepectfull.
@@sldorhout1religious? Annastesia is spiritual and about drugs but mainly spiritual like most of his output. The whole tour and album was gospel in his own words. If the Dutch (you talk as if they were ALL sheep 😂) were such a good audience (which obviously aren’t) as they say they would at least KNOW what Prince was about in the first place and the would respect the artist as a norm of politeness.
Prince was basically church according to Miles Davis and to anyone that knows what time it is. I guess the Dutch would never visit a Buddhist temple or any Christian cathedral or a Hindu temple or Shinto shrine etc
Probably whistle some football chants nobody cares 😂
I’ve attended shows in America Japan and all over Europe. The worst crowd? The Dutch 😂
I remember even in a sound check in 2004 in Rotterdam Prince was asking the people please not to smoke and they didn’t care. The smell of pot was all over the place and it was Prince the one that decided letting people in to be in the sound check. Then after the concert in the aftershow Prince was in a bad mood and everyone noticed. I wonder why
the song he played is called "Fathers Song"
It is not.
Songs played:
When 2 are in Love Intro.
Venus De Milo
Starfish & Coffee
Raspberry Beret
Condition of the Heart
Strange Relationship
When 2 are in Love Outro
@@positivityforever play it, Its Madhouse 8, track 3 ................
my boi rest N peace H Budda Bullock
Venus demilo is a piano piece that is beyond decription something not from this planet
The outfit is a homage to Mozart
