This can not be correct, however, as [[Prince and the New Power Generation]] performed in [[24_January_1991|Rio de Janeiro, Brazil]] for the ''Rock In Rio II'' festival that same day. It is likely the track was recorded in late January after their return (possibly even on January 25) and simply mislabeled. Alternatively, it could have been recorded prior to the South America trip, and only filed on January 24. |
