Prince - 'CITY LIGHTS' questions

I have 3 questions about the Bootleg 'City Lights'...

1) Is it the live 1999 tour in great quality?

2) What is the track-list?

3) Is it any good?

Every CD in the set is top fucking notch. And they were all uncirculating shows before City Lights came out.

A must-own boot classic.

I don't have much far as sets but City Lights is the favorite set of what I do have.

11 cd's total. The 1985 Purple Rain show is on two discs and the 1986 Parade show is also on two discs. All the other shows are single discs, I think.

NO SOLICITING FOR BOOTLEGS. You want to discuss them, that's OK, but NO OFFER TO COPY, NO REQUESTS TO COPY,
NO "WHERE CAN I GET", etc. NO POSTING OF LINKS TO THESE SITES EITHER.

It seems like some of the best Prince material is rarely offered by Prince. Sometimes I wish he wasn't such a control freak and would let others market his work. But it's his work and he can do with it what he pleases.

Damn, I've only ever heard the DETROIT version of 'Lady Cab Driver' with the extended bit at the end... and it blew my mind! (mentioned it here before)

I've never heard 'International Lover' LIVE before apart from a brief bit on the NAGOYA '89 CD.... but never the full version from '82.

You guys have convinced me to keep my eyes open for a copy!

Keep your eyes open for 1999 Revisited as well. Great show on disc 1 (incl International Lover) and disc 2 is a rehearsal.
