Yes it almost gets me an orgasm When I hear the songs in this quality!! It's like a new "official" live album! Of a show I've been to. I'm reliving the whole experience now.
And even better, now I can make one perfect show of the two! Little red corvette from the first show, when I lay my hands on you of the second, etc. etc. | |

Yep. I'm really enjoying listening to it. | |

The sound is incredible. The sound levels are better the 84 Birthday (particularly on the aftershow), and the set list is a gem considering it could have easily been the ususal hits.
If only more sets like this could see the light of day. . | |

I am, without question, a bigger fan of Prince's 80s work, and generally prefer to listen to Revolution or SOTT era boots, but this one is pretty amazing.
I understand why he devotes so much time to the hits these days, but I wish he would do shows like this more often. | |

just finished downloading this.
love those Montreux shows. How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand. | |

Boring ass shows, save for a couple of tracks here and there. If anything, these gigs are most memorable for me for being the debut of the new arrangement of Little Red Corvette.
After listening to In A Large Room With No Light with such clarity, THIS is why I don't wanna hear Prince play a lot of his hidden gems with this band (or his current lineup, which is close to what the lineup at Montreux was). He takes all of the funk out of the song, and it doesn't even have that full Latin flavor either. And nothing can replace those live horns. It's just all around booty, and it's indicative of where his music's going these days. That jazz lounge shit just is NOT hittin'. I had to listen to the original outtake to take the dull taste of this performance out of my mouth!
Now, the sound quality is excellent. There's no disputing that, but I'm completely talking about content. | |

You didn't think "When I lay my hands on U" sounded fantastic??? . | |

Just listening to these now, despite me not being a fan of this period I have always had a soft spot for these shows. They sound really good, but I still think there are better shows in circulation from 2009, L.A-Conga Rooms, Monaco and Paris-La Cigale being 3 examples.
This release would have been better as just a dedicated Montreux set, I have no idea why the Cannes aftershow has been included, it's totally unrelated to the Montreux shows and holds a lot less interest to me.
That said, this is a good sounding release and it's good to have the Montreux shows in this quality. It's also nice to see Eye Records find their own source for a change, I wonder how long that'll last?

Have to agree on the cannes remark. Not sure what it is doing in this set. Probably the same 'leak' | |

Good quality, great release.
It's not the release I would like on soundboard, but much appreciated! Pretty darn good to hear that soundboard version of Peach, Scandelous, In A Large Room, Empty Room, LRC, and Somewhere Hee On Earth. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

So, it's the next best thing to an offical release? | |

so now that the concert is out in soundboard quality does that mean we will never get the dvd? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
We never would have, I think. Prince is a fool when it comes to stuff like this. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Even better. An official release would have edits, overdubs and when necessary censoring. | |

That one's one of the ones that I didn't throw into the "boring" pile. The third disc is almost nothing but covers, which seemed to have been his M.O. more and more those (and still these) days.
Don't get me wrong! I'd rather something like this come out now than almost any official studio recording from Prince (excluding a remaster or outtakes). I love soundboard recordings, and will ALWAYS welcome them, but the shows themselves just don't necessarily groove me all too much. | |

I'm assuming everyone has the same problem with When I Lay My Hands On U not working on the first Montreux show? | |

Same problem here. Oh well, I was going to get the FLAC version anyway. | |

What do you mean by "not working"? Does it not play at all, does it skip, etc...? Mine played without a hitch, as far as I can remember. | |
