oh yeah!

marilyn, I think people are thinking it has something to do with the NPGMC because of the post on the NPGMC website the other day...I know it's not etched in stone by that post but...I still think that's the link.

don't worry funkbible...my DVD/CD player is always warmed up and ready to go...has nuttin' to do with Prince. but I hear ya...I won't believe anything till I have something in my hands. see...what I worry bout now is...since all of this is so vague...some day some one will say what ever happened to the promised 7CD set...another broken promise..boo funkin' hoo! hey...I want this as much as then next person but...the 7 CD set has not been promised...and although the 3-CD set has been announced...I still wouldn't count on that.

Great, if it happens, but you can now buy the complete "Xenophobia" shows on bootleg. They're twelve CDs long.

Anyone know why the paisleyparkvault site is down on the day Prince announces his live box set???

I just hope he releases something already!! How long has he been around and only NOW he choses to release a live concert album. Jesus..what the hell was he waiting for?!!!

This is the guy who felt he was being held back when he was under contract with Warner; who wanted to release more stuff then he was allowed. But for some reason he's released so little recently.

The guy's got fans willing to join his club for BIG bucks you'd think he burn some stuff from his vaults on CDs and give it away to members. And then after the 4 CDs he owes members, he can start charging us for the rest.

People buy/trade bootlegs because they couldn't get enough of Prince. And now that he has the chance to compete with them to satisfy that need, he doesn't take advantage of it. What the hell?!

I mean the bootleggers come out with a 12 CD set of Xenophobia before he gets off his ass decides to do the same thing. Sad.

CmputrBlu said:

Well, there's a bit more work to releasing something like this than a bootleg.

So if he's looking for distributers, this set is seperate to the other 3 CD's promised by NPGMC for a years subscription?

OK, so if it's a live thing, will he release "Xenophobia" the album (studio album)? If so when?

There's a lot of question that needs answers here...

joeycoco said:

If he's planning to release it through stores and has to obtain a distributer of course. But beyond some possible legal issues, which might hold things up (which I admit to not being aware of, so their could be)..I don't see why it should him any longer to get music to club members than it would take a bootlegger to do so.

Especially considering the quality of work (in terms of packaging for example) that has come out from the bootleggers in the past.

i'd buy it.

kevin smith would be the frosting on the cake.

Wow!
This might get even better than TRC...

This is gonna be the finest ever

Didn't know P. worked with Norah Jones! This cd seems at last to bring together the tastes of me and my girlfriend

Looking forward to it veeery much

Let's just see what will b released, 3 discs..7 discs, at least we have confirmation that a new box-set full of goodies will be released soon!!! It's truly a wonderful thing waking up 2day seeing all of this great news...I guess we needed it huh? I know I did...

What about this "Launch Party" - does this mean concert? Is it time to book a flight to NYC???

MightBQueen said:

Kevin Smith would LICK the frosting on the cake, that tubby bitch.

"Prince and his backing band New Power Generation sharing stage time with sax legend Maceo Parker, percussionist Sheila E., bassist Victor Wooten, vocalist-pianist Norah Jones, blues man Bernard Allison, R&B newcomer Musiq, and jazz vocalist Rachelle Ferrell"
- Just a question...did Prince really SHARE the stage with Wooten, Jones and Allison, or they only opened the concerts?

It's about friggin' time! If NPGMC is gonna release the seven disc set, I will drop my $100 in a heartbeat! Is Prince finally going to deliver the goods?

Prince did not appear while said acts performed, however Musiq and Rachelle Ferrell did come out during Prince's performance.
