Our comrades in arms(pits) over at Funk It blog just posted this epic live audio of Prince's official Purple After Jam at Chicago's House of Blues. Joined by some equally legendary guests like Maceo Parker, Janelle Monáe and Prince-egé Andy Allo, this is pretty much most-play audio. Listen to the teaser--comprising Maceo blowing the soul out of his/James Brown's "I Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing (Open Up The Door, I'll Get It Myself)" into the Purplous One's "Housequake"--below.
