Still LOVING the 'Indigo Nights' CD.

As usual, I'm amazed at the lack of positive feedback on this CD. It was SUPERBLY recorded, and Prince picked a fantastic, seamless ensemble of songs 4 this release.. in perfect sequence.

Also, I can't stop playing blues guitar at top volume when playing through "Just Like U", "Satisfied", and "Beggin' Woman Blues".

His voice is in fine form, and the guitar is searing on "Whole Lotta Love"... I'm actually shocked that folks here complained about this one.

Shelby is fantastic! She (and P and the band) rock the isht outta "Baby Love".

The whole thing is a perfect ebb and flow of energy.

I want to listen to it for the first time on my stereo at home - and I just haven't been there. (I've been in rehearsals and performing a play for the last six weeks.)

And I don't want to listen to it in the car because...well...it didn't come with a separate case and I don't want to end up throwing it loose into my glove compartment when I want to listen to something else. shrug

Besides...I've heard all these tracks already from...uh..."other sources."

i have heard these tracks from other venues as well hence i haven't been in a rush 2 listen 2 the cd..plus with any official live release from prince, either something is added or subtracted. i'm glad i have the OFFICIAL unedited versions tho

also what u can do is create a jewel box and place the cd there

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Listened to it alot. It doesnt really have core tracks is my problem. Its more as a bonus gift than a real live album ...which we dont really get from Prince. I do like the album...Im just waiting to get a real O2 Concert album. however it goes will with the book. But the cd is just a 3 stars for me. Love the humore and Girls & Boys / 3121 / DMSR / Rocksteady / Whole Lotta Love / THe One ...the rest is aiight.. a little slow. I wish All The Critics was a full out version....its more of an instruemtnal.

Me too! I love the whole cd, him, his talking (humor), his playing, his co-singers, the covers, everything. The playing with the sound effects in the beginning, love it, so funky.
I have to admit that his latest cd's couldn't hold my attention very long so I love it that this cd tingles me inside.
I've been playing it on my radio and with headphones.
The only "negative" thing is that the music flashes from my right ear to my left ear a couple of times in the beginning of I believe Satisfied, an unpleasant feeling inside of my ears.

Even my son likes the cd, he's like "is that Prince? Hmm, nice" and starts wiggling his butt.

Loses a mark for the "Ah-Ahh" version of Girls And Boys. Horrible.

The rest is great, but compared to a very, very special bootleg i have of the night he rocked out on the 28th, it pales in comparison.

Finally a positive thread about the Indigo Nights CD biggrin

I listen to it very often and especially the first half of the CD is amazing.

But I usually skip the Shelby & Beverly tracks ... was great to see them life but it doesn`t work on a Prince CD IMO.

I´m glad I have this CD though, some really great stuff on it cool

Yeah OK. Perhaps he could've picked a different "Girls And Boys", but it doesn't detract from the experience and flow of the CD.
