In terms of quality and content, whats the best ONA bootleg?

What would everyone say the best One Nite Alone bootleg is in terms of quality/content? that era is a bit low in my collection, so my saturday is gonna be ONA-tastic.

So, whats the best bootleg from that era?

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

the soundquality on the copenhagen boot is surely the very best you can get,
it sounds way better than even his own live document of that tour. the song
selection is pretty good too.

my favorit, i wouldn't be able to chose just one:

NightTown Rotterdam
Bataclan Paris
Vega Copenhagen
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

the opening instrumental on the NightTown boot is probably my favorit
performance of the entire tour.

it's not the best song or anything but the playing is on fire. renato
gives one of his best performances i have yet heard. at one point it
sounds as though he's pushing the keyboard through the ground and the
moment is so good it always makes me grin from ear to ear.

Indeed. This is the best I've heard. I would try and get both the main and the aftershow if you can. 'Whole Lotta Love 4 Paris' is the best copy of the aftershow. Buffalo and Washington are supposed to be very good too.

I don't believe that any of the shows were soundboard recordings. Just excellent quality audience recordings. You wont be dissapointed anyway.

Hey RumandRaisin

Copenhagen actually is pure soundboard. Tremendous gig.

The Xenophobia sets had some absolutely righteous moments in them and the Sab boots are very good audience recordings for the most part.

But for pure ONA gigs, my vote would go to One Nite No So Alone.

It's the NY gig from 4/9/02 (as far as I know it's only on CDR). It has 6, yes I said 6 CDRS worth of material and is a pretty darn good sound quality. (The bass is pretty high but that can be fixed in your settings).

This was the aftershow that a few tracks, including Joy in Repetition were officially released.

I'm partial to the NYC-Avery Fisher Hall Soundcheck bootleg.
a lot of prevoiusly unheard live songs on that one(At least for me they were previously unheard).
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!
