Your right they are crazy. I enjoy the entire cd with the exception of the Music Soulchild portion. I think that Music is just out of his element and do not think he untalented just not able to keep up with Prince.

I think people do not realize that this is just a live jam, an aftershow. It is not going to be perfect and maybe that is the reason Prince is just getting around to putting one out now.

I like "Joy In Repetition" and "The Balad Of Dorothy Parker"
I also like "Peach" which is not Peach at all but just a 10
minute funk romp. But that's ok, it cool.

2 Nigs is just about ok, but the rest is nowhere near the
magic of performances like Bambi & Whole Lotta Love.

And to put Musiq and George Clinton on there right after
Joy In Repetition just stops the flow of the disc dead in
it's tracks.

It's really like "Holy shit, he's done it, he's finally
released a kick ass aftersho...oh wait a minute, what's
this? WTF? aaah, shit, what a waste".

I know it's been said a 1000 times before, but why oh why
oh fucketyfuckfuck why the hell is this 3cd set so damn
boring? He had such a wealth of material to pick from with
performances of

"I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man",
"Dolphin",
"Calhoun Sq",
"All The Critics Love U In New York",
"Something In The Water [does not compute]"
"Whole Lotta Love"
"The Question Of U"

And so on and so forth. Yet, all that's ended up on this
set is a handfull of kickmintheballs cool ass jams that
pound hard and steady. An overdose of boring and lame stuff
with silly prince speech. And a piano medley that goes
absolutely fucking nowhere.

I know, I know, it's a "Medley" but I'd rather have had him
do 4 songs completely on piano that 15 snippets on 1 minute
or even less.

Why the hell is "Condition of the Heart" even credited as
a seperate track when it's only 2 seconds long?

But that's just tipical of Prince, first he waits 25 years
before he does a live set and then he doesn't even wait
until the tour is OVER before he makes an album out of it.
If he was gonna cut up shows to compile an album anyway
than he could've waited 2 more months and used parts of the
european performances as well.

Instead he releases this album and no less than a month
after, he releases a bunch of European and Japanese sound
check songs that beat anything on ONA out of the water.

Another good example: he waits 7 years, knowing how crazy
people are over "Empty Room", yet constantly holds out on
a release, as if the song was worth a million bucks and is
kept aside for a very special release. And then after all
this time, he decides to cast if off as an obscure download
through the npgmc.

I just don't understand that. Probably never will. But hey,
it's his choice and it's absolutely none of my fucking
business anyway. But I do get annoyed with it.

Stop Dissing Musiq! He's a talent and a half and he's much better than ppl like Usher and Sisqo.

at least he pays attention 2 vocal sincerity and none of that "thong-tha-thong-thong" garbage.

He ain't no barber cause he B bakin' the bread correctly. True baker.

This is why TTD is the man now. Prince is so over.

Prince

Welcome to Piss and Moan.org!

TTD was over in 1988

I think you guys are way too hard on Musiq here. Yeah, his performance on the aftershow disk is lackluster but ya'll act like he's the antichrist or something. He's a real nice guy with some talent, he acknowledges his influences, he's not too full of himself, and "Don't Change" was one of the most beautiful singles of the past year. Give him a break.

As for the jamming on the aftershow disk, I have to agree with some and say that more than half of it is a bit disappointing. If you want to hear good jamming, turn off this disk and put on an old Parliament or Funkadelic CD, because the aftershow just doesn't cut it.

Since it's a live performance, would he still have to pay royalties if he released one of the Whole Lotta Love performances?? Bataclan & Nighttown are SCREAMING to be released!! Something in the Water just blows my mind!!
