Lawd I have to get this, keep forgetting.

I don't care about the fact that this is 'better than now' or whatever, because he is past his prime, Im glad this is even being passed along.

Exactly.

This is still on rotation in my house, it's going to be a while before I can stop listening to this one.

Used to be?

Yes, "used to be". Don't pretend that his current lame-ass gigs are anywhere near this REHEARSAL gig.

Prince has done NOTHING in the past 15 years that is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as this gig. Which was a warm-up gig, P and his band (back when he had a BAND and not just a bunch of rotating musicians) just showing of what they'd learned IN A WEEK.

These days he labels entire tours as rehearsals and despite playing the same old crap over and over they still can't maange to sound better than a cover band.

Good to hear something positive from you, Bart. Miss that from you.

Some SOAB (French, not that it's a surprise...) is already offering this boot (and the other new 4DF) for money on ebay.

Don't get fooled, don't go the easy route and -most of all- don't let these wankers cash in on somebody else's effort which was done to be enjoyed by all the fans FOR FREE.

If someone is to make profit from these recordings it should be PRINCE AND ONLY PRINCE. He doesn't want to put these out for a profit? Well, then the fans will do, but just for the sheer enjoyment of sharing his best moments in the best possible quality (and devoid of make-up) and not to make a living off it.

This can be obtained ABSOLUTELY FOR FREE from a lot of places on the internet (but not at all this one, btw). If downloading is such a pain in the arse for some then you can always set up one of those nice old skool TRADES whereby you get sent this recording in excange for another one you have and the sender may be lacking. Again, no money exchange AT ALL.

It's already more than enough when the two main pressing labels steal the works of the fans but at least they're offering it pressed (but with a huge margin for themselves, of course). But paying for CDr copies is far beyond the line.

Don't be fooled. Don't be fools.

There seems to be a few people who get the recordings in the best quality, and won't share them. The download quality is never the same. I myself, don't have a computer that can really download anything. Other than one great person who shared with me recently, I doubt I will ever hear this unless I pay some bootlegger. In other words, nobody is knocking down my door offering any trades. I would love to have this, so I guess I can wait and see if anybody actually does want to share.

^So... you're waiting for someone to knock on your door for a trade.

Interesting.

And the dowload quality isn't the same?

And you've been around since 2002?

Why don't you try doing some work yourself until you find out instead of waiting for someone to do it for you?

Just sayin'...

It's soooooooooo easy to do NOTHING and then whine.

Utter nonsense.

You say there are people with the best quality recordings who are not sharing?

What do you think this thread is about? If it were not for people like FBG and 4DaFunk, then we would not have the dozens of amazing recordings we have, in the quality that we do, for free!!!

The download quality is never the same? The same as what?

A little research on your part, would do you the world of good, unless you want to spend your time bleating because someone has not knocked on your door with a perfect quality bootleg on a silver platter.

Well, his nickname says it all, I'm afraid...

Yes. It is posts such as that where I am not sure if the person is really serious or taking the total piss.

FREE BUUURD!

Enjoyed this thoroughly, I'm not big on audience recordings but the quality in this set is def a pleasant surprise.
