The price seems a bit steep (I think I paid $55 for it 5 years ago), but it is a great set. If you went to a One Night Alone show, it is surely worth it. The after show disc is not too bad. The best part about it is a string of songs on the second disc (One Night Alone, Adore, Do Me, I Wanna B Your Lover) that are done as Prince solos on the piano. Great stuff!

Depends if you're a completist and/or like live releases. I'm a completist, but I can take or leave the live stuff most of the time, so I never listen to it. Other's absolutely love it.

Maybe wait till the new site opens, you never know what old tat they have knocking around at PP, they usually stick some stuff up on a new site to make some chump change. (No pun intended, wink, wink).

I got it for about £25, maybe less. I wouldn't really pay £50 for anything unless it was a rare collector's item.

It came as part of the NPGMC membership.

Being from DC, and having been to all the DC ONA shows, and the fact that the opening track was recorded there made it worth it to me. Plus if you liked TRC album, it is nice and totally different to hear those tracks live.

My advice would be to shop around, I would estimate £25 - £35 for a reasonable price but I've seen this sell from anything between 20 and 70 quid!
