Having not 'properly' released Planet Earth in the UK it strikes me that Prince could do far worse than to release an official live album of the London residency including some aftershow performances.

From some of the reports here on the Org it seems like he's been on top form and it would be great to have an official record of this event.

Any chance do you reckon?

0.

He has done is hits over and over and over.
And now again.
Why need them live?
There's already enough to gotten elsewhere. (can't tell you, sorry)

I was thinking how cool it would be if Prince made a CD of each show available either at the venue or on the internet like many other artists have done recently.

I would much prefer he does a DVD edition with aftershow included. Coz the visual spectacle is equally as amazing as the audible content.

This is true.

what the bold man is needing 2 do is release a dvd of collected quality vibes from all 21, and he got 2 include the aftershow on the 28th..man fucking rockin!

Yup - I hope there's gonna be a DVD. Tis on my Christmas list already,.

Seriously, that night was incredible, it was a privilege to be there, and releasing a show of that would cement his place in musical folklore.

This rumour is given weight by the fact that a week or so ago, 3121.com reported neighbours shouting abuse at Prince 4 playing a CD of an aftershow 2 loudly in a London alleyway.
Check it, it's there. So he has been recording his shows, at least there is that. Which means, if nothing else, there is a possibility of a good quality bootleg or two of these shows surfacing!

Apparently he records all his shows so he can analyse them and make improvements. Therefore he will have thousands of concerts in THE VAULT. I wish I had the combination.

I agree here. And I hope to say: don't worry...

Yeah, I read that and that's what got me thinking. He'd need to release it quite soon after the stint ends though to capitalise on it methinks.

There are bound to be boots circulating but for those of us that don't go down that route for either financial, ethical or just plain no-idea-where-to-find-them reasons an official release would be just fine.

I keep thinking that this current version of Nothing Compares 2 U could make an awesome live single aftr the tour is over... and a great way to push a live album or DVD.

It would if he sang more than half of it!

Well Prince needs to release it and beat the Bootleggers to it
