Recieved the one night alone with the members box.

I dont understand the negativity that sourrounded this cd; I think it is magnicifent; great and pure JOY.

Here on the org. I have (almost) only read negative comments about it; whats up with that ?

by the way; in another tread people write that there isnt enough crowd noise on ONA Live; HELLO this is music; we want to hear the music not the crowd noise; I am sure that if there was more crowd noise, some people would diss that.

It¨s great, thou, that people are "taking stands" on prince music, but remember; POSITIVITY.

Henrik; the dane from sweden.

I love the ONA piano CD Henrik! it's beautiful!

Not everyone liked the album. Its an opinion, not negativity.

tom, it's one thing to say you didn't like it (opinion)...it's another to say it fuckin' sucked or it's a piece of trash (negativity)...see the difference?

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

I agree with you henrik. I only just recieved it too with ONA Live. I was expecting it to be crappy but I think I've listened to it more than the Live CDs! I played it to my father and I respect his musical opinion (even though he absolutely HATES Prince!), but the only negative comment he could say was "Why does he sing like a girl" which is a good thing becuase usually he just says "turn that s**t off!". (I think I may be starting to convert him!!!). The album has also got me playing the piano again. I think it's just as good as The Truth even though in the thread that compared them, 90% of the responces said The Truth was better.

As for the crowd noise it ONA Live, some people like the noise because it gives you more of a feeling that you're actually there. But I get sick of hearing those screaming girls especially on the solo piano tracks on the second disc. Shut up and listen! - he's a MUSICian, listen to the MUSIC!

no problem!

I think the crowd noise is fine except for on the very first track (Rainbow Children). You'd think there'd be a huge uproar when he first enters the stage, but you can hardly hear anything from the crowd. I think they could've turned up the crowd volume just on that one song. Everywhere else, it's not really something I even consider to be noticeable. I don't think about it, at that point I'm so into the music, you know.
