The early days of Prince at 1st Ave were fun. I saw him several times in the early 80's, often he would just be there in the club and get up with whoever was playing. He used to walk around in a canary-yellow suit with a huge bodyguard.
I remember seeing Jah Wobble one time, no slouch of a bass player. Prince got up and did some killer guitar work, and then grabbed a bass and outdid Wobble himself!
1st Ave is still a bargain for entertainment. Saw a great show by Stereolab last month for $15 bucks!
