This is a new soundboard, right?

1. Flash Light (instrumental) (8:50)
2. Days Of Wild / Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again) (14:28)
3. The Jam (8:35)
4. Also Sprach Zarathustra (16:16)

Or was it already widely circulating?

Correct. Brand new.

I gave it a listen. Well, let's just say that I like the First Avenue 1984 recording better...

I haven't listened yet, but a new soundboard is always appreciated. Hopefully, this will appear in lossless at some point.

Thanks 4 the info!!!

Which makes me think that the 2005 list of soundboards that we have is MORE than outdated. It would be great if someone with the knowledge could update it, and even BETTER if such a list was available on The Digital Garden. Is TheDigitalGarden (the orger) behind the website? I'd love to submit this idea to him/her (?).

It's nice to have a new soundboard, no matter how dull the show.

Sorry, I missed your question.

No I am not in any way involved with the digitalgarden site.

It's nice to have things surfacing in a good sound quality.

That said... I really find this show boring/tiresome to listen to.

Found the vibe of Slims 98 better.

That's why someone called it "Borefest at Tramps".

Anyway, I'm thankfull for every show that surfaces, certainly when it's soundboard.

Even if it's a retro Larry fest, the mucianship is great, and shows a lot of muscle. And the mix is good!

The music is not bad, but there's way too much Doug E. Fresh, Chaka Khan, etc. Too many covers. Prince doesn't sing much. But that's not news. That's 1998.

I agree, but by mix, I meant the arrangements are really strong. I've only listened to the first half so far.

It's a decent soundboard from an okay show. I'll never say no to a soundboard though.

I've got the 128kbs version, the lossless link isn't playing ball at all. Sounds fine to me so far, i like Chaka and don't mind Larry so just as well!

The lossless is sourced from the same 128kbps, but is tracked and the "Another Mr Wizard production" watermarks have been removed - then saved to Flac, avoiding re-compression.

Some statistics about the June 7, 1984 and September 26, 1998 soundboards threads:

• length of the June 7, 1984 soundboard thread after 2 days: 7 pages
• length of the September 26, 1998 soundboard thread after 2 days: 1 page

Ok. Next, please.

I'm listening to it now, I like it a lot but I'm easy to please.

Yeah, it's the kind of show that would be boring to see live (because I saw some aftershows in this era, and unless Prince takes over, it gets boring),

but,

it sure is fun to listen to soundboard quality at your leisure while driving around. I like it too.

Not a landmark towards his personal pop reign like the other new soundboard, but a good record of his turn of the decade trend of seeking a very mature, accomplished, and retro vibe with old stars.

Hopefully even more soundboards will surface!

Despite Doug E Fresh, I quite liked it.

^^ I agree, I could do without Doug E Arsebag and his tired old beatbox/whatever routine, but on the whole this is a pretty funky set.

His voice sounded so hoarse. Speaking of hoarse, I didn't even recognize Prince's voice at the very end "credits". He sounded really hoarse. That was him right?

He sounded worse during Thank You IMO.

It's not how long your thread is, it's how you use it.

Thanks for the info!

Some of the grooves played are the shit. And both Candy and Martini are on fire.

As funky as it may be, I don't like Prince's covers and his shows in 98 were boring.

As I am in the 1998 period of his career in Possessed right now, I'm really not fond of this whole era. lol.

Was thinking the same, laid back vibe, good for a nice summer drive.

Keep these soundboards coming!!

How is Track 1 "Flash Light"?

Instrumental or not, I'm not hearing it, or at least not enough of it to warrant the title.

Gonna change it to "Instrumental Jam" on my playlist...

Thanks for the info. Explains the compression I'm hearing in the lossless version.
