I just finished listening to it all for the first time. Best tracks: JOY IN REPITITION, DOROTHY PARKER, XENOPHOBIA, FAMILY NAME, ANNA STESIA. Plus I was pleasantly suprised with ONA Sutdio version, as I only just recieved it with ONA...Live. With everyone here bagging it, I was expecting the worst, but I love it too!!

eye love the full 3disc.
this is the first c.d off prince with nothing on thats a little less.

2 all the complainers .this year was the best .

with this ona 3disc set all negative will bow!!!

Only had the disks 24hours but I love the start of Girls & Boys, Prince asks for "horns"

"Ba Ne Ba Bedap"

I am dancing round work just singing "Ba Ne Ba Bedap" in a loop - colleagues think I am mad.

I guess I love the tight feel it all has, with excellent audience participation and overall orchestration by Prince. Really enjoying this one. Apart from that it's the first album in ages I won't be embarrassed to play with friends. No persistent god references or duff tracks that ruin the flow, I can just stick on any one of the three CD's in entirety.

I also love how he didn't mess with it too much. I know it must be hard for him to do that...you know how we are our own worst critic...I figured he was going to tweek it too much but he didn't! I love the organic concert quality of it! I love that he listened to all of us who wrote to him and said, to leave it alone. I know I've wrote the the club explaining how I love the organic feel of a concert boot. (yep..I told em that) that I loved hearing his interaction with the audience and the band, that I loved hearing his piano bench creak, or any lil mess ups he or the band might make. I told them that I love that kinda thing, that it brings it all down to earth for me, and I'm glad they listened. This whole set rocks! for those who don't like it...sux to be you!

I have listened to it through one time now, I have to say that "2 Nigs united 3 West Compton" kicks ass! That's a jam!
The only song I could really do without is the 3rd song from the aftershow disc.

the music

the messages in the music

the strength, the energy of the music

the sensitivity of the music

the audience cheering in the background

the interaction of the audience with Prince

the outstanding musicians

the exquisite box and the whole package

the words of the songs that reach out and captivate the soul!

the whole ONA LIVE



Thank u from a NPG Member !

Much Love & Peace!

I hate all this 'us' bullshit. I been into prince for at least 10 yrs longer than you - gone to all the concerts, bought all the albums, singles, posters etc - and I think it's pretty lame that you think that this set is for you (a member)rather than for someone like me who for my own reasons hasn't joined the club.

You didn't even get your exclusive behind to one of the gigs whereas I flew from Istanbul to London to see the little man (I could go on about the economic crisis here in Turkey and how I'm owed untold money, but I 'll restrain myself).

I'm not competing for 'biggest Prince fan of the year' but I do think you need a little perspective. You weren't there, I was - I'll pay for my Cd just the same as you have, so how exactly is this cd set for you - and not for me?

vivid said:

don't fight over Prince--there is enough of him for all of "us" to have a share

vivid said:

umm...sorry to have offended you...I didn't really mean NPGMC only. I guess I should have just said that this was for his biggest fans...club memebers or not..but yeah, I guess just cause the club members were upfront so those are the folks we hear first but...I didn't mean that you who has been a fan 10 years longer than me and bought more posters than me weren't included. Like I said..I didn't even get to go to a ONA show but I felt I was included in the "us" statements just as a Prince fan really...I didn't mean to exlclude you vivid, I whole heartedly include you in the "us" statement. I really meant "us" Prince fans. sorry.

Shorty said:

I was thinking the exact same thing since I got the set! That person looks VERY familiar!

It's wonderful ,I've been listing to it ever since I got it Prince's Screaming is So Great,Man...

Love, besides it being Prince first long overdo live set...I'll just say he had 2 B feelin Portland that nite when he was flowin flawless... 12 cuts from P-town representing strong...I'm a bit surprised but then again...being there 2 witness his magic I understand*

LaVisHh said:

I think the red headed lady looks familiar too...

Renato's solo on Dorothy Parker and (the 1st part of) Boys & Girls R 2 die 4!!

Okay, the first disk is great though I like the Chicago version of Xenopobia better. The second cd sucks balls. ANd he ruined Anna Stesia. Ruined. What the hell is that hip-hop %^#%*&&&#%^&#^&@$&#&%*$^*^$&*$^*$^? Oh, I'm sorry this is supposed to be a positive review so I want talk about the third disc.

Dorothy Parker on CD # 3

always been my favorite song, but the way he funked it up live, penetrated my soul like never before & the next thing I knew tears were streaming down my face in joy...

not sure if i was crying because i wasnt there or crying because he's so damn good on that piano, or 4 the simple fact that the music made me feel so damn good it was spiritual... the only time i've ever cried like that is when I felt the Holy Ghost in church & after making love 2 one particular man.

IT's deep ya'll - i'm tellin u that shit is phunky!!!

instant chills...

Disc 2: Anna Stesia - the best part, I was there!!!

The sound quality, it sounds like Prince is in my Living Room singing. or in the back seat of my car singing. its amazing. No Boot is that Good.

No, wait, it's a tie: Disc 3: Joy in Repetition. Oh my god!
