Ask yourself two questions.

1. Do I want to look at pictures of empty hotel rooms?

and

2. Do I want to hear Prince talk about hanging out with cute guys and buying tampons?

Not even for the right price. Without repentence, Prince deserves zero of your dollars.

Here's a review from Prince.org about the "Indigo Nights" CD that comes with the book. Mind you, the review isn't good but that didn't stop me from buying the book myself on E-bay for nine bucks just to get the CD. The company I bought it from still has it for that price if you can't find it in your local Borders Books Bargain bin! Here is the org review and set list (with personal opinions!):

"Indigo Nights (21 Nights) CD Reviews. - Part I (Post Here)

can we talk about the cd?

3121 - Worse live performance
Girls and Boys - retwurk
Song of The Heart - pretty cool sound off the cuff
Delirious - Joke interlude
Just like u, monologue - talking about personal exp of dislike of cameras, MJ reference
Satisfied - cool lil tune
Begging Women Blues - sounds jus like Satsfied, could use guitar work
Rock Steady - LOL buying a Prince CD with a cover = WACK track choice
Whole Lotta Love - not as good as the other sets, but def some redubs, prob best song on CD - diff guitar tone for prince
Astreet - usual with bass work - nice bass work by Josh, laugh the wya the song was built
Inights - Get on the boat for dummies
Misty Blue - pretty nice
Baby Love - two Shelby J songs back to back = Wack
The One/Suite - This has become Prince's modern day Purple Rain, prob his best moments puttinb these songs together, on this version too much horns
All the Critics - great way to end"

Be adventurous! Buy it for a cheap price and judge for your self! wink

Why not? You like Prince enough to invest your time and $$$ into him to this point. The book is on sale in some places, I've heard (on the Org). It's a nice book, I'm not sure why people hate it so much. It's just a coffee table book; no one is rewriting The Bible or War and Peace or something.

the best of this is the book, it's gigantic in size.

the live CD recording is crap. The horns sounds like from a circus.

I was sooo disappointed. Overall I rate this CD/ Book: 2/10.

Yes, buy it. It's the perfect coffee table book because it comes with it's own coaster.

I'm shocked someone doesn't have it. It's as cheap as chips online (or some stores). Plus I thought this was a Prince fan site (love em or hate em. Or him for that matter) and assumed everyone bought everything.

It has it's guitar moment from 0:55 to 1:05 on Whole Lotta Love. That moment is worth the purchase price for me. Very Thom Yorke.

It's not as good as a good bootleg and given the choice of material he could have released so much more. But, as an official live album, it's a good one to have. Shame about the lack of a jewel case.

Yes get it!!! Its really well put together. For me I love it cause I was not only at a lot of the o2 shows (so it's like a super posh programme) but also because I was at the Indigo Aftershow that is on the CD. Also that review sucks, the CD has the best official version of 3121. It went off live smile

If you think of the book as fancy packaging for the CD, it's definitely worth it. nod

You should buy it only if you find it for a cheap price.It's basically just a glorified tourbook.

Should i purchase some Ritz crackers today in my shop? i'm so indecisive, i hear they're tasty but i need a review.

I'm always puzzled why people ask questions like this. just buy it, or not. it won't destroy your house or anything.

The book is nice to just have a flick through but it doesn't do justice to the concerts. Concert pictures are just a small section of the overall book.

The CD is fun, and as there are not that many live CDs available; unless you dig into the boot scene, this is a must have. Certainly considering the price this is being sold for these days...

The book is an exercise in wasting trees and corporate masturbation, whilst the CD is boring. So that will be a no from me then.
