Officializing live bootleg albums

If I do not go wrong, rumors have it that years ago (about 1990), many fans and people requested the 'Small Club' bootleg to be officialized, 'cuz of the superb quality of the recording but, above all, the greatness of the performance itself.
I think that lots of Prince's live recordings should have received a particular care.
In the '90s, Pearl Jam did a great job by publishing several live official bootlegs from their current tour and it was a success. Even Ani Di Franco put out some live bootlegs in recent years.

How about U, what are the live bootleg U would love to see officialized?

I go for 'Small Club', 'Sexuality' (Controversy Tour show), the Syracuse Purple Rain Tour show and the homecoming concert from the 1999 Tour, featuring The Time and Vanity 6 (this show included an eerie and ever-mesmerizing version of How come U don't call me anymore and a wicked porno version of Dirty Mind, with memorable Vanity's moanings). I'd add also 'Happy birthday' (Cobo Hall, 7 June 1986), 'It's gonna be a beautiful night' (live in Scandinavia 1978) and 'Live in Tokyo' (Nude Tour 31 Aug. 1990).

I totaly agree,in fact i like to listen to all the after party gigs because of the jams they play and the incredible musicianship of all the players involved.
It just seems like they all cut lose musicaly.

One of the live performances that comes to mind for me is Houston Summit 83. I watched the Roadhouse Rehearsals last night and loved it, although that isn't an actual concert. I'll pick either one of those to start.

So if it becomes official, is it still considered a bootleg?

There are some rough messy aspects to Small Club...that performance of Housequake is not exactly the best in terms of backround vocals levels, the mix, etc

But that intro instrumental and DMSR are the best!

Anyone know of any of these? I don't want to know where to get them,I just want to know if they are actual boots.

Small Club (Germany 1988)

Lovesexy (Germany 1988)

HEAD (France 1986)

and if these are real,are they considered RARE.

Again I am not asking where to get them,just if they are known of.

Well, the definition is 'official bootleg', but I'm not able to explain why an officialized bootleg is still called a bootleg, even if it is officialized lol Anybody?

well, I 'm probably one of the few people who are not that impressed by this performance. For me the standout cut is People Without.

Prince couldn't make Small Club official. He doesn't have the master tape. I'm sure he's got the Boot CD though, after folks sent him their boots during the "Ways Of The Pharaoh" email campaign. biggrin

Yep, I got Small Club 88 and Lovesexy 88. Small Club 88 is the actual boot, but Lovesexy 88 was released in Europe I think.
