ooohh, very nice review indeed!
U should work 4 some magazine or sumthin.

lawd where is my box set...

After THAT review, it's going to be hard to resist skipping to disc 3 as soon as I open the box!

Thanks for the great review, Brendan!

Thanks. That's some nice information. I keep reading about people obsessing about massive overdubs and so I go back and try that much harder to hear something, and I still come up with nothing. Perhaps that's because there's almost nothing there to come up with.



I can't argue with that. Having only heard one "ONA" bootleg is both a positive and a negative. On the positive tip I don't have this huge pile of discs getting in the way of that elusive goal of objectivity. In other words, I haven't fallen in love with any other versions that I must now try and divorce myself from because that version didn't make the set. I can just focus on the task at hand, honestly listening to each track.

But on the negative side I have no way of knowing as you do what even greater stuff might be out there. And what might be missing that perhaps should have been included.



Thanks for the correction. I've made the change. I had to fire my editor, though. It's amazing how you can overlook the most obvious of errors when proofreading.



My word processor.

I appreciate all of the kind words.

Brendan

I could be wrong, but I think that usually Renato played the solo during Avalanche.

I WANT "ANNA STESIA" PERFORMANCE ON DVD/VIDEO JUST TO SEE PRINCE SCREAM "L.A. L.A. L.A."

This takes me back to the Days Of LOVESEXY...Prince ur the best!

I almost cried.

Wow just read the intro part of your review.

Quite impressive and well written.

I'm gonna wait til I get my set before reading the rest, but props to ya.

Thanks!
After going home last night and it still not being there, I was pretty bummed.

Now I'm excited again. Thanks Brendan!

!SEXY! You tore the roof off the sucka!

Let me get this straight... Prince has a live album coming out? Wow.

Seriously, great review... do you work for UPTOWN or something because those guys are usually the only ones who put in that much time and effort to inform.

Thanks... from a civilian.

Wow Wow Wow!
I haven't received my copy yet but I'm feeling it already!

Brendan, thank you ever so much; Derek's right - THIS is what the Org should be all about. One of the most positive, insightful and intelligent posts I've ever read. Let's have more like this.

thanks man u are a true org member 4 doing this. and u are also a good writer thanks

thanks a lot...it says it all.

Superb review...excellently written...thanks for taking the time to do so, I could relate to pretty much everything you said after listening to the box set...

Thanks Brendan, u are a qualified writer.

Nice LOOOng detailed report.

Uptown needs to hire this guy...
vive Brendan!

Thanks for the detailed review, B. I can't wait to hear that disc 3. I know Prince played Purple Rain at several of the shows. I am surprised that he did not put it on this set. I would think it would increase his sales, and I was excited to hear him play it on piano. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

Great review.

Thankyou.

I'm anticipating delivery of the set even more now. Damn!

Check out this article on Scottie (so is he the same 'Scottie' from "The Undertaker" that Prince says at the begginning of the song The Undertaker, "Scottie...shake something" to?

Brendan is Da Man

Now that's what I'm talkin' about... Good Job Brendan!

Ps. I WANT MY ONA LIVE !!!

What an amazing review!! I couldn't get my eyes off the screen. Felt like I could hear the cds.

Now I'm planning to buy four of them, to give them to fellow musicians as presents!

Shweeet review. Thank-you so much.

For all of you who have not received yours yet, it is absolutely worth the wait. My $100 membership just went from being a con job to being a bargain becuase of these 3 CD's.

Peace all.

Ahhh, Brendan comes through again. I have to print this out and read it later. Thanks for the HERCULEAN effort, Brendan!

WOW! Absolutely fantastic review - I am anticipating this on my doorstep even more than ever before!

I have quite a few concerts from over the years but having seen the latest live incarnation have been sooo looking forward to this!

I'm now listening to some old Madhouse numbers to keep that jazz vibe flowing!

Is Disc 3 really as good as Small Club. Hot Damn!!!

nice review, enjoyed reading..
