I had the same revelation shortly after Prince died and grainy concert video appeared of the song Purple Rain, recorded about a year? before the LP was released. The LP version is that actual recording with minimal overdubbing. Imagine going to a concert and seeing a good performance of a song you couldn't yet know for up to a year later.
Yup I d/l'd that video and while the audio is a bit distorted, the damn performance! It is my favorite video and every time I stumble on it (it lives in a few locations on my Mac and media server), it's an insta-watch.
