Just My Imagination People Without Housequake Down Home Blues Disc 2 Cold Sweat Forever in My Life Still Will Stand All Time I'll Take You There I I'll Take You There II Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic It is no secret that this is arguably the most essential bootleg recording in circulation for Prince fans. It is first and foremost on my personal list of favorites. Even though there are now a plethora of soundboard recordings available from nearly every tour, this is a perfect recording of a coveted aftershow. I think it's ok.

But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

"Small Club" - Best Bootleg Album? Thanks for the tip, Org. Don't usually like bootlegs (most sound like crap to me), but picked it up after reading this thread. Would have never known. That's why I love The Org - I get a Musical Education upon every visit. | |

Live you can't beat the first Avenue performance from August 1983.
Studio wise I've always really liked Crucial, it plays like a proper album. All the songs are from the 1985-1986 period and work well together and the running order is spot on. | |

Is there a full bootleg album of that particular concert? In one of the Prince bio's this evening was mentioned as his best live gig ever. | |

Lots of fans will say OR Small Club, as it was the first aftershow in sound board quality to make it out of the death grip of The Vault OR indeed that sequenced Dream Factory.
But, in retrospect, the bootlegged Black Album and Charade back in the days certainly were albums that were coveted, made Prince legendary and gave a good scope of how silly he was, shelving songs like Old Friends 4 Sale. Charade was interesting as it was the first album that showed people the progress of how Prince distills recordings into something final. | |

Y'all know The Work has been drastically expanded...right?, it's now got all that I'll Do Anything material, runs to 33 discs now, "Waiting to be banned" | |

Small club is a quality recording, but there are some rougher ones around that I enjoy just as much.
It's live bootlegs all the way for me. As for the O2 shows. __ck me !!!!! Amazing !! Now that I know Prince don't like it, I don't do it now. | |

if i have to choose 5:
Small Club Stripped Down Osaka '89 The Work 1 - 5 Xenophobia 1 & 2 peace,grafix | |

It's funny how people have different tastes; the O2 shows just summed up for me everything I do not like in Prince's music these days; flat, uninterested and easy. You play that funky music, , Mr Nelson, while I just go and play The Knife records, thank you.
But dayum, them old boots. YUM! | |

Is there a full bootleg album of that particular concert? In one of the Prince bio's this evening was mentioned as his best live gig ever. Yeah, it's called The Avenue and it's probably the second most essential bootleg. The audio is sourced from a video which is also circulating. It's amazing to see the actual performance of Purple Rain that he mimes to on the film. Here's some details Benefit Show for Minnesota Dance Theatre First Avenue, Minneapolis 3rd August 1983 Duration: 70.36 LET'S GO CRAZY WHEN YOU WERE MINE A CASE OF YOU COMPUTER BLUE DELIRIOUS ELECTRIC INTERCOURSE AUTOMATIC I WOULD DIE 4 U BABY I'M A STAR LITTLE RED CORVETTE PURPLE RAIN D.M.S.R. Truth is there are literally dozens of excellent bootlegs. My advice would be to pick an era or a tour and explore from there because knowledgable collectors would offer a different opinion on virtually every period. You've got a lot of enjoyment ahead of you because many of them are far more thrilling than any recent official release. | |

Purple Rush 5 : The Ultimate Temptation contains the August 3rd 1983 First Avenue concert in better / remastered quality ... The DVD of this concert you wanna get is "The Makings Of Rain" (Fullasoul's): great quality! | |

Back in college I did pick up a bootleg titled "just another N-word singing" It was a SOTT Europe concert. One lp was only left speaker, but the second lp was both speakers and though its been years since I've dusted it off, wasn't that bad, though i really don't know much bout bootlegs.
But I've never heard this bootleg discussed. [Edited 11/25/07 23:57pm] The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |
