| − | + | Basic tracking was done during a one-day session on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 7|7 December 1984]] at [http://www.capitolstudios.com/ Capitol Studios] in Hollywood, California, (the unusual location was because engineer [[David Leonard]] was now working there). The session was with only [[Prince]] and [[Eddie M.]] on saxophone.<br> | |
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The song was tried out with the band the day prior, during sound check at the [[Richfield Coliseum]], Richfield, Ohio, initially as a rock blues number, nearly twice as fast in pace as the eventual session. Although this sound check session on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 6|6 December 1984]] was recorded as well, [[Prince]] decided to not use any of it, but instead start on a much slower version from scratch the next day, with just him and [[Eddie M.]] participating in the session.<br> | ||

| + | Additional recording took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December_24|24 December 1984]], when [[Prince]] recorded the 'god dialogue' at the [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, immediately following his matinee show at [[24_December 1984|Saint Paul Civic Center Arena]], St. Paul, Minnesota, as the final recording made for [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]]. Since at this point there was no console, the home studio was not fully operational. [[Prince]] used the rented [[Record Plant Remote - Mobile Truck]] that he had on tour, parked in his driveway to record it. | ||
