Imagine this. It's August 1983 and you've managed to get a ticket to see two of the most influential musical legends of all time play on the one night. James Brown was on tour with BB King and now they were set to play the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles.
Halfway through James Brown's set however, things go mental. A 25 year old Michael Jackson, is called up out of the audience. This lad had only released Thriller a few months previously.
And as if all that wasn't enough, a few minutes later Prince is called up on to the stage. Not to be outdone on the showmanship stakes by his arch rival, he arrives at the stage via a piggy back from a monsterous Santa Claus lookalike, throws his gloves to the audience, struts across the stage, grabs a guitar, plays a solo and finishes with the greatest semi-naked cocaine-induced dance you will ever see.
Oh, and he pulls down half the set into the audience!
