Just got my ONA Live CD Pack from FedEx and listening to it as I type (I picked a great day to have a day off from work!).

I'd just like to say that I have been critical of NPGMC in the past, but IMHO they've delivered big time with this package. The front of the box has the picture of Prince from the concert posters. When you open the box there's a really cool booklet which contains pictures of Prince and the band on and off stage. There are also loads of quotes from Prince, the band, some fans, and the press. There's also a small folded up, Letter size-ish, poster of Prince.

As for the music, in my pack I got the double ONA Live CD, the ONA album, and "It Ain't Over" aftershow album.

Now, I'm only half way through the first CD, but I gotta say I don't understand, so far, the people on here who don't like the box set. It looks good, and the music is fantastic! I went to 4 of the gigs in the UK, and it's bringing back so many great memories for me listening to it now. One tip, you gotta play it on a system with 'nuff bass and volume. It sounds much better loud with the bass set to the max. Listening to 1+1+1=3 at the mo, and it sounds sooo good, Rhonda's bass is making my room shake! His sense of humour really comes across on the CD too, as it did at the gigs .

I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe, my $100 was worth it this year.
