Prince
Damn U live performance by Prince & The New Power Generation in London
During this live performance of 'Damn U' at Earl's Court in London on June 15, 1992, Prince was riding high on the wave of his 'Diamonds and Pearls' album, released just eight months earlier. This album marked a significant shift in Prince's career, showcasing his collaboration with the New Power Generation and blending elements of funk, rock, and pop with smooth R&B grooves. Notably, 'Diamonds and Pearls' was one of his most commercially successful works, featuring hits like 'Cream' and 'Gett Off.' At this point in his career, Prince was transitioning into a new musical era while continuing to push boundaries, both artistically and socially, famously challenging norms in music and performance. His shows were known for their high energy and theatrical flair, making this live recording a prime example of his innovative spirit.
