Aftershow at Grosse Freiheit 36 club in Hamburg, Germany
August 30-31, 1988


why doesn't anybody ever talk about this one? ok, there
are a few glitches in the recording, lolz. in fact some
parts are completely missing and the soundquality isn't
good by a long stretch.

if anything, this show should be discussed more, or just
mentioned once in a while because of the way he directly
talks about The Black Album and Camille whilst jamming on
the 10+ minute version of "God Is Alive".

tracklist:

1. Just My Imagination
2. Rave Un 2 The Joy Fantastic
3. Girls & Boys
4. Venus De Milo
5. Starfish & Coffee
6. Raspberry Beret
7. People Without
8. Condition Of The Heart
9. Still Would Stand All Time (w/ Taylor Dayne)
10. Strange Relationship
11. A Love Bizarre
12. I’ll Take U There
13. Down Home Blues / Blues In C
14. Cold Sweat
15. God Is Alive
16. I Wish U Heaven
17. Purple Rain

I once transcribed that long speech (is it the one about the black album;s mythical origin?). It's better than the one he put in the Lovesexy tour book.

it's mainly a story about camille and camille making an album about sex,
n it being such a 'bad motherfucker' that he didn't even put a name on it

once upon a time in the land of sin-a-plenty there lived a little brother named camille. now camille thought he was the baddest muthafucka in the world. you understand? camille wasn’t afraid of nobody. alright? now someone in camille’s mind told him, “who’s that, man? you the baddest muthafucka in the world. screw him up. why don’t you put out like the baddest album in the world? fuck em. you know all these people runnin ‘round talkin ‘bout making love. fuck it. just put out an album of sex with no feeling. in other words, let’s just fuck.” so camille sat down and said, “eric come on and blow the horns just a little bit. just toot a little bit.” he said “eric, come on, can you just…” see, he said, “you know i ain’t scared of nobody when i got that. so i’m just gonna fuck em. see, can’t nobody fuck with that. alright? so you got all these people runnin ‘round talking all that smack ‘bout makin love. i’ll do that and just say, man, i want to fuck.” okay, so that’s what camille did. he sat down and made this album, right? and it was bad. he looked at it and said, “it’s so bad i ain’t even gonna put my name on the mothafucka.” no, no, wait. get to that mentality. it’s so bad, i ain’t even gonna put a name on it. you just holdin it, you understand? you just taste it.

that's the one. 4 transcribing it

there's so much there, lol. the bit about eric having to come and blow the
horn (although eric actually plays some horn at the show during that bit),
is imo probably relating to eric coming up with the hornline in "Rockhard"
after which prince wrote the song around it -or something similar.

anywayz, he doesn't sound to negative about this album when he's talking,
now is he. he kinda brags about it with that jamie star kinda swagger in
his voice.

I reconise this what the name of the cd as I have it somewhere
