Now that the ONA tour is over (at least, that's what I suppose) and most shows have been turned into bootlegs by now, what is your favorite one?

There are 3 categories:
1. Best performance
2. Best soundquality
3. Best overall ONA bootleg

OK, Princeheads, give it to me!

And remember: don't ask where to get them, just discuss them (check out http://www.prince.org/msg/rules.html)!!!

Best performances would be Copenhagen and Paris aftershows, or so I hear...

I don't have that many, but I really enjoy the Chicago and DC one.

Get an ONA live and a good Europian boot (Antwerp soundcheck would be nice) like Berlin and you good it all.
The show/tour really grows after some dates (like ripe-ing wine).

USA

One Nite Alone In Washington
One More Nite Alone In Washington


Europe

Rotterdam Ahoy 1
Paris
Copenhagen
Antwerp

Aftershows

Rotterdam Nighttown
Paris Bataclan
London Marquee



Japan

Tokyo 1


All of these are supposed to be pretty phenomenal and are apparently highly recommended.

THe APril 20th gig in LA is great - I was there!

I'm listening al evening to Ona Rotterdam 15 okt and he is very great.The sound guallity and the music of caurse.It is like u are there at the moment.

Ive not really heard that many US shows but from a European perspective i've heard most of them and my fave regular show is Antwerp. You can tell Prince is enjoying the evening and the Days Of Wild finale is purely because he's feeling it. Also there is a killer version of SOTT which you should not miss. As for the Aftershows, all the euro ones were good but you should go for Nighttown and Le Bataclan. The former finishes with brilliant versions of Calhoun Square and Beautiful Strange. Put it simply it's one of the finest 20 minutes of live music Prince has ever played. Bataclan is also superb.

US Show - NY 9th April - Brilliant Quality Recording.The Soundcheck is GREAT,and his A Case Of U during concert takes u're breath away!!
EUROPEAN - PARIS 28th Oct - Sign O The Times is BRILLIANT-dark and moody,and Days Of Wild is brilliant to hear-VERY good quality too!

I have to say,that with the audience noise,and the set-lists,I prefer my ONA boots to the official one!!
