If you like any of the sounds on the ONA live album, it is well worth getting. thumbs up!
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

The performances are just fine, but the video and audio quality are crap.

Personally, I think the music is tighter than the One Nite Alone... Live album so in that respect it's definately worth it. However, as some have mentioned, the picture quality is quite poor. It was filmed by 4 or 5 hand-held camcorders supposedly to give it that spontaneous 'bootleg' feel. Plus it's also somewhat dissapointing that we only see about 1 hour of a 3 hour show. But hey, it's still Prince, and it's still funky cool

I enjoy watching it sometimes. It's been a year since I've seen it.

Yes, get it. Sheila is on there too if you're a fan of hers. My fav part is when Prince instructs Maceo to only invite those fans on stage "who need the exercise" falloff

Try and track down the Musicology DVD on eBay. It's a darn sight better than this fairly average show.

His performance of Sometimes It Snows In April is the best thing about it and even that is running over the credits...

Decent music. Cool version of Whole Lotta Love. Horrible... I repeat horrible picture, editing and flow.

Pick it up from a reputable Amazon second hand seller for under $5. Prince won't get a cut from that sale. He doesn't deserve it.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Does Cirque de Soleil make a guest appearance?
How about Wayne Newton?
Or those two gay white-tiger tamers.
Or what about legalized prostitution?
Do any of these decide to join the Purple One on stage?


Well?

it was a badly fitted wig.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I actually didnt have this until I saw it in walmart for 9.98, I could not resist this. I have watched it probly 5 times and love it ALOT! I love Push and Pull and then when he says "colorblind yall" and breaks into whole lotta love by led zeplin. I also love Family Name! It was definately worth getting for me! Peace and Love
