Finally, Prince's 26th Birthday show at First Avenue Minneapolis is now here in pristine soundboard quality, the full show!!!

Grab this release and be amazed!!

You better grab a towel, 'cos you are going to be drooling a whole lot more once you hear this.

I think so!

Although I collected live boots for a long time, I admit I have never been that into listening to live them, unless they were really special - well this is one special show, can't wait to hear it soundboard.

Oh HELL to the YAYUH!!!!

Now this is the shit I'm talkin' about. Excellent, excellent, excellent. May this be the first of many, many more to come.

OMFG

Just heard a clip of "my destiny" W W So clear i thought it was a studio track

No wonder some people say us fans are stuck in the past

This rules

Thanks fore the info mikey

ooops, got carried away, so near, yet so far!!!

It's crazy all these years most of us, if not all had a crappy copy of this show

And BAM! were hit with a soundboard Never expected this one

Now i might be able to make out some of the lyrics on "my destiny"

It's great.

This is probably the closest we will get to having studio quality versions of Our Destiny and Roadhouse garden for a long time too.

Holy schmokes!

Listening to it now. This sounds fantastic! Do we know if these versions of "Our Destiny" and "Roadhouse Garden" were composed by Prince all by himself, or with help from Wendy and Lisa? Others have indicated that Wendy & Lisa added some string parts after this live performance, but I wondered if they had input before that as well.

Downloading now. I can't fuckin wait.

I've been wearing the hell outta my "26" copy, I would love to hear what "Roadhouse Garden" sounds like in this version.

Holly smokes and gee whiz I'm assuming

"All The Critics Don't Luv U On The Org"

[Edited 5/8/11 12:09pm]

This is absolutely brilliant Erotic City is too funky on here

Thank you to all involved..

Yeah... this is absolutely spectacular. Whoever is responsible for releasing the master soundboard tapes... thanks much!

It's great, every nuance of the song can be heard in crystal clear quality. There's something special of a 26 year old Prince performance compared to a current 51 year old Prince.

I am erect!

No, "All the critics" have no patience left for the endless stream of people who can't simply make the small effort of following forum rules (so prince.org can remain the way it is) and use google (where it is really that simple to find it). Maybe you haven't asked such a thing before, so I can understand your reaction a bit, but the amount of people who keep asking this stuff is really annoying.

I've never been able to listen to ANY of the 1/2 dozen or so different audience boots of this that I have found over the years. In my opinion even the best among them were not good enough to listen to. This, is like hearing it for the first time. No, not "like", it IS listening to this show for the first time.

I still don't get all the love for Roadhouse Garden, but Noon Rendezvous was awesome and right now I'm digging the hell outta Something In The Water. Wow! And I still have about a half hour to go!

Thank you and much props to all involved from the owner of the maxell tape all the way to the uploader. You ALL rule!!!

Hehe "I gotta boner!"

I bet u have....this is a big deal! However, i don't see Prince in that way LOL

His music is amazing and he's good looking but i wouldn't go that far hahah

The quality of this is AMAZING!! It's so good to hear Prince's vocals with such clarity. I can actually hear exactly what he's saying during "Our Destiny"!
