Man, I found a cassette of this boot.I haven't been able to find a cd copy,but this is an awesome recording! It is a rehearsal session for the 1999 band and the sound is superb! It is full of ad libbing on lyrics and between song chatter. This is really a cool thing to hear. I haven't done much on the "import" Prince front in a very long time,but re-discovering this makes me wanna.

Circulates on CD, and on the double CD, "1999 Revisited"

Thank you.How do the two versions differ? Is "Revisited" remastered? I think there is also one called "1983 Live" that I want.Have you heard that one?

The first disc of "1999" revisited is a Purple Rain live performance.

The second disc is the rehearsal - a different running order to '1999 Live and more of it.

I'll drop you a quick note after I've had a listen to both. Some detail about 1983 Live below too.

Wow! Thank you!!That's very kind of you. Boot-ology is very interesting. I will bother you with just one more question:Which Dream Factory cd is the best quality? And I think I lied about having just one more question. You mentioned Purple Rush earlier. Is that whole series really good? The idea of boots is firing me up again!Thanks for your help!!

You should make a CD from the cassette, or at least make digital recordings.
