you know what, with the running-electric-guitar of the soundcheck "I could die 4 U" and the sound of "When You Were Mine" it reminds me somehow Joy Division raw-guitar sound and bass... but less tragic... (just listening to the guitar solo of soundcheck "I could Die 4 U" this sounds very Ian Curtis-Joy Division era...)

i thought the same thing...it's got a very 'disorder' vibe to it. makes you wonder...

I totally agree with the whole set of "The Second Coming" and your comments about "All The Critics Love U In New York" : insance keyboard playing and nasty guitar through all the song...



probably going to be one of my favorite version...



this show (One-Off Performance at First Avenue | Minneapolis, MN | USA | 8 March 1982) sounds special:




do they have some mike problems ?


for instance the intro of each song is twice longer than the usual (if I comparing to the other 82 shows, but this one was probably special) :



- we got an instrumental of "You Were Mine" which was probably not intended to- but it sounds GREAT as an instrumental...



- "Head" (I was also so fond of Lisa that I can't get tired of all these live versions)... well, was this a censored version or was the "virgin" word (and some other lyrics) deliberated omitted because due to the context with Prince and Lisa the lyrics have somehow to be revised ? (we can hear Lisa near burst of laughing when she has to sing the first verse)



you know what, with the running-electric-guitar of the soundcheck "I could die 4 U" and the sound of "When You Were Mine" it reminds me somehow Joy Division raw-guitar sound and bass... but less tragic... (just listening to the guitar solo of soundcheck "I could Die 4 U" this sounds very Ian Curtis-Joy Division era...)




but don't underrate the other set : the Billy Preston-Outta Space-like solo on the first show is such a bliss...


the 2 first shows are jaw-dropping...



Don’t know what is going on in Head but the burst of laughter, and Prince’s comment: she’s laughing because she’s lying! Made my day.
The sense of humor amidst the serious jamming is apparent here, and we need to see that. ❤️

I've been waiting forever for the soundboard of First Avenue 1982 and I'm so happy to finally have it, but why the hell have they cut out large chunks of the interludes? I'm going to have to cut up and drop in the missing sections from 4DF's remastered audience version.

- A minute of instruments and vocals before Prince speaks at the start

- Prince telling inviting everyone to get a drink and saying he wants to do a slow number before Still Waiting

- The Twilight Zone keyboard and other short bits before Head

- Much longer chat when looking for Morris and more speaking from him (though the part when Morris says "Can I still play the drums? What is it?" is missing on 4DF's)

I hope there's a full soundboard out there somewhere waiting to leak.

Ah, thanks. I thought I was going crazy; I remembred a specific comment that Prince made when Morris was back there on drums: "he's got a good view, don't he?". It always cracked me up, but it wasn't on this release. I thought I was misremembering things. That explains it.

I don't know if it is just my copy of 7 March 1982 soundboard, but Bambi, When you were mine, Sexy Dancer and Sexuality are i noticeability less clear sound quality than the rest, which are great. Has anyone else found this to be the case?

I need better glasses. I misread this as When You were Nine....

I noticed Partyup fades at the same spot the audience recording does on the 82 First Ave. show.

I only bothered to get volume 2, the second Coming, because the 1st Avenue show is one of the very first live bootlegs I ever got and I couldn't resist getting it in soundboard quality. So there's bits and pieces missing (like a couple of minutes of Party Up), but I think the better sound makes up for that. All The Critics, Still Waiting and Dance To The Beat sound great. biggrin
The rehearsals of rare tracks like Lisa, Katrina's Paperdolls and the previously unknown The Get Down are also pretty darn irresistible so I had to get that volume. biggrin

Now that First Ave '82 is in soundboard quality, it might be at the same level as First Ave '84 and Small Club '88 when it comes to Prince's best one-off concert recordings.

I'd go as far to say almost every song played that night surpasses their (already good) studio versions.

I also rather liked the '82 Controversy tour recording - it's as close as we're going to get to that Second Coming unreleased live album. Hearing Private Joy in soundboard quality was rad. music

What was that?

Aftershock!
