I Would Die 4 U (rehearsal, 1984-10-25: Minneapolis Auditorium, Minneapolis, MN, USA)

~ Recording by Prince

Annotation

This is the same recording as the long version, https://musicbrainz.org/recording/70da8482-f757-4c3f-8dca-32e84e432685 except this has a 0:26 intro that isn't in the long version and is a shorter (slower) recording. It's nearly two minutes longer (effectively 1:30 due to intro) because the music plays around 135 BPM where as the "long version" plays around 140 BPM. I do not know which is closest to the original recording.
