I'm probably the only guy who thinks this, but Prince's cover of "Miss You" by the Stones may just be the best song on here.

Which is really saying something. I thought this concert was going to be MUCH better than it was. He should have kept the original setlist!

I listened to it all and absolutely loved it. Those people who were there must have really enjoyed it. It's a million times better than what he did in Paris a few months ago.

2 bad prince doesn't appreciate everybody singing purple music back 2 him and realize he should release the song

(if it hasn't already been posted somewhere else)he should look at the black crowes website and see that they sell all their shows in mp3 and flac 4 easy downloading. the fans r happy, no bootlegging and he makes all the money, like he wants.

100% agree! Love me some Black Crowes

Agreed the Black Crowes are fantastic. One of the few bands out there that actually just get better with age. I think they get dismisssed in a lot of corners as being a jam band but their songwriting craft is on par with the best. Last years 'Before the Frost" & the download companion "Until the Freeze" is brilliant.

IMO the best player for playing FLAC files is VLC, it also plays just about every other media file as well. Also, FlacFrontEnd can be used to convert the FLAC files to WAV for burning to CD. I believe both these programs are free downloads.

I think the program needed for the Winrar file is WinZip, but I could be wrong on that one.

As has been said many times, Google can be a friend...

play FLAC files with Winamp http://www.winamp.com/ ( a free media player)

or get a plug-in for WMP

you can burn FLAC files to a cd using Burrrn http://download.chip.eu/n...88781.html

(free)

you need to unpack rar files with Winrar http://www.winrar.nl/

(it says trial but it's the full version)

WOW! How can anyone not like this set. 5 stars

Whoever said he was having an off-night on guitar, I couldn't agree more. But then again, I don't think the last few years have been great for live guitar playing from the man. He hasn't impressed me with his live guitar playing since 2008. Maybe some of his playing on Montreux 2009 too.

His playing at Montreux in 2009 was among his best in a very long time.

I just wish there was more purple music on the setlist.

Have you seen the set list that was originally on stage?

[img:$uid]http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/squirrelgrease2009/NewMorningOrigSetlist.jpg[/img:$uid]

holy fuck! I don't particularly care for a lot of those High/Peace-era songs, but it would have been very interesting set list!

I wonder how it sounds, boy how I wonder. . .

Makes me wonder what he has against us Americans.

I loved the show!!! Sound was great and I really liked him doing Sylvester!

I wish Radical Man, Silicon, and Judas Smile had been performed in their entirety! I'm really glad Prince hasn't forgotten about those tracks, and the band have obviously learned them. Who is that Black Chick playing keys...is she the one who plays a solo and he refers to her as Cassandra? Her playing was Rad! (get it?). I couldn't tell when it was her or Renato, and I'm assuming Prince played some of the keys in the quieter numbers.

Can anybody confirm this?

Wow just listened 2 the show - unbelievable, definatly his best small club show for years. 2045 and PURPLE MUSIC?!

Ugh. I'm usually a really good googler and I've googled the HELL out of this but have been unable to find it. Is someone allowed to PM me and tell me how to google this properly so I can listen too? I mean I know you can't tell me exactly WHERE, but point me in the right direction.. someone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I love it when he kicks into Purple Music and you can hear some guy go "WHAT THEEEEE F**K?!?!" in amazement..

Would have been exactly my reaction

So true.

But you know what, though, sis? I think he discovered(like the long list of black artists who preceded him) that the European audience have a deeper and more lasting appreciation for black musicians than the States(with their short attention spam asses).

I've always heard about that claim, but I've NEVER witnessed it untill I've been to two concerts by Roy Ayers, one in DC and the other in London. There was love in the DC concert, but from London's audience reaction, you'd think the Second Coming was emerging from the shadows when he showed up at the Jazz Cafe,,,,,right then & there I was convinced that when those folks support your music, its for keeps.

Exactly...American radio hardly give a hoot about old school funk..unless it is being sampled by some shithopper.

Do European radio stations play a lot of old-school funk? (I'm seriously asking; I have no idea.)

No, radios in the UK at least do not play old school funk.

I'm guessing it is more to do with the exchange rates and how much money he can get out of the promoters than anything personal. Maybe tax implications as well for earning abroad? Maybe he doesn't pay alimony on funds earnt outside the USA?

Who knows, maybe he really meant it on the Musicology tour when he said that he wasn't gonna tour the hits again. (I doubt that though - ie Coachella and Las Vegas).

When I was in France last March, I heard some MPLS songs on the radio several times, and I only listen to the radio when I'm in a car...

As far as performing in France, foreign artists must pay income taxes on the benefits from their performance before leaving the country, and tax rates are sky-high!

... listening to it now, very good quality.

where can this be found? Damn...
