Prince Tour Produces Live Box Set

Enigmatic R&B artist Prince is preparing to grace fans with a three-disc document of his spring North American One Nite Alone tour. "One Nite Alone... Live" will initially be available to members of the artist's NPG Music Club, but is expected to be given a wider release sometime this fall.

The tour in support of his self-released album "The Rainbow Children" featured Prince and his New Power Generation band revamping a lot of his older material to create an organic, jazz-influenced sound that fit in with the new songs. "One Nite Alone... Live" comprises takes from many shows and after-show performances on the tour, with guest performers such as George Clinton and Musiq appearing on some of the set's tracks.

The box, which will come with a 48-page book of photos from the tour and liner notes with contributions from band members, is to be the first official live album of Prince's 25-year career. For details on the official NPG Music Club, visit the group's official Web site.

COOL!

This is a gr8 tracklisting...apprecia8 it!! Don't bitch about.."theres no Kiss, theres no Purple Rain, there is no this , there is no that" He cannot put all of his songs on!!! He cannot please everybody all of the time!! Funk on!!

"2 Nigs United 4 West Compton"...Wow!

Looks like he really did this for fans. This isn't the type of setlist that a casual listener would be into. That's fine by me!

Rats! "No Beautiful Strange." Sigh. I will never again miss the Pre-show performance.

My personal griping aside, this is going to be an amazing compilation. The show was wonderful and it will be nice to have it on CD.

Still bet it won't be on shelves till '03...

sup fams...P is getting alot of buzz...coo now all he needs is grass-roots about this album and tru enuff old school fam that wanted this at his height of commercial status will put this album at #1 on tha indie charts...its already number #1 with me and i havent even heard it yet...

Yet another victory 4 PRINCE!!!

So I guess we won't get the DVD that was rumoured to be included in the set.

Wow, great tracklist! I'm totally loving the new "live album" trend that's going on with my fav musicians... I just got Ani DiFranco's new 2-cd live album, and it's great. I think Bjork is supposed to be releasing a new live album or DVD soon too. They're all great live performers! (let's not even waste our time laughing at Pearl Jam's sad live albums... ick!) Now, let's get Beck to do something live, and make sure he puts Raspberry Beret on it...

Can't wait to hear Strange Relationship again... weee

Gnammmete all,


"Everlasting Now (vamp)" what does it means... :OMG: he thought really about me when he wrote this song?? :LOL:


:LOVE: :LOVE: :LOVE:


VAMPY

I think Bjork is supposed to be releasing a new live album or DVD soon too.

She's releasing a Greatest Hits cd in a couple of months, has recently released 3 live DVDs (which could've all fit on one if she'd tried, sigh) and is releasing another live DVD soon.

(let's not even waste our time laughing at Pearl Jam's sad live albums... ick!)

oh no you didn't...I LOVE that they released all they're concerts as affordable soundboard recordings. No 2 nights are ever the same (Prince, take note) and they're releasing all their shows from their upcoming tour and thinking of releasing some pre 98 concerts as well...yippee!!
And their club only costs $20 for pre-sale tickets, retail exclusives, Xmas single etc

That being said a live Prince album is something worth celebrating (but imagine a whole tour!)

3 CD set AND a 48 page booklet w/pictures!!!
ooohhh...BE STILL MY HEART!!!

Jeez, this sounds incredible.
On the subject of the upcoming ONA tour: I'm going to be travelling to London from Johannesburg, South Africa to see the show- got me tickets already heh heh. I'd be curious to know if there are any others making a long distance 'pilgrimage' to see the clever little fella.

Too bad he did not get the rights tio release "Love Rollercoaster" on the set. Anyway it will still be one heck of a collection. What he can do is set up an on line voting poll for a career live set from all the years he has toured. it would be what the fans fam of his club want most. Or use the votes for a best of/fam fav set.

Just a thought, where's the track "Days of Wild", on the cd single I brought from the Music Club it said thats the trax are taken from the album One Nite Alone...Live! But looking at this list from Billboard it doesn't appear on it. Strange But True!

I don't know these tracks. Can anyone fill me in on these?

We Do This"
Medley: "Just Friends (Sunny)"/"If You Want Me To Stay"

Thanx. Antoon

They're both covers. 'Just friends' is originally by Musiq Soulchild and If you want me to stay is 'Terence Trent D'arby'

i had assumed "if you want me to stay" was the sly stone song, not the TTD one...

in fact ttd's track is called "if you let me stay", and sly's "if you want me to stay".

Actually, if you look at the tracklisting on the DOW single, only "1+1+1 is 3" is really taken from the ONA Live album. And it's up there on the tracklist.

Prince is the best musician on the Planet and this live set will show the world (if they listen) that he is. I was at "The Paramount" in Oakland, California and I was completely blown away by his complete control of the audience and his mastery of the guitar. Prince is a phenonena, like The Beatles, Hendrix, and Sly Stone before him. Prince is a genius and sometimes "we" don't appreciate people or music until it's gone. I am in total awe of Prince and I hope maybe someday I will shake the mans hand. Thanks for the Ride Prince, I have completely enjoyed it!

btw, there is a press release in the npg newz section about this confirming everything.

God damn it, this sounds cool, cant wait for it to be released
