Just saw some samples for the Dakota concerts from Eye Records. They actually sound pretty good. Does anyone know if they recorded every show or have any more info on this upcoming release?

They did.

Who are Eye Records?

Or is it a sentence?

This is excellent. Obviously I won't pay for them but I look forward to hearing them eventually.

If this isn't the ideal time for Prince to offer them for sale on his site and beat the bootleggers I don't know what is.

I'd 100% buy them from Prince.

I too would love for that to happen. He could even release it and claim that 3rdEye Records is responsible for it, for a laugh

Best 3 minutes of Bambi I've ever heard bar none. Love the way he breaks it down. Can't wait to hear this, Good Lawd!! C'mon P Release this.

Until the EMP or CME comes along.

This discussion has been, so why start again?

Totally Agree!

I think Prince should release these shows, considering the flow and intimate setting of the shows!

Just heard some of the Dakota stuff.

Needs some work...

Now, that would have been epic!

Prince might think otherwise as the past has proven.

mixed feelings. take it for free but I wanna site where I can buy this from Prince in flac format.

he will not release them and if he did he would make a indigo nights cd of it which was enclosed in that coffebook....a release where he would put together a 45 min. compilation of 6 shows ....

Unbelievalble how he fucked up that indigo nights project.

Who runs Eye Records? Anyone have any idea? Prince has to be pissed that these bootlegs are packaged better than his official releases. Ioffer has 190 pages of boots for sales. Yea, way to shut down the sales of bootlegs. Mission accomplished.

I've never really been a fan of live boots...

These shows in particular were so unstructured (from the reports) that I doubt Prince would give them a proper release... and I doubt I'd be interested in sitting through listening all six shows. Probably once and that's it.

But that excerpt of Bambi that I heard was really good... I like how he intro'd the song with a totally different arrangement--the "all your lovers" chat and rhythm guitar. Pretty cool.

What does this mean?

That is a sha-1 hash of something I forgot.

There are people on this site that ban users for posting sha-1's when they correlate to torrents despite the fact that sha-1 hashes were expose... years ago.

So if the sha-1 correlates to an interesting torrent: download it.

if it doesn't, it was just a sha-1 of something I forgot.

I do not know the sha-1 of the iso of the new Eye Records releases yet, nor that of the Dakota disc set.

goodie gumdrops.

i wish i was better at finding stuff on the web for free.. but i have NO idea what these SHA's and Torrent things are..

ALL I KNOW IS:

I MUST HAVE THAT LAST DAKOTA SHOW!

PRINCE!!!! I WOULD MUCH MUCH MUCH rather just give you the $$$$$$$$ for it.. just put it up for sale, for cryin out loud!

THIS IS HOW THE WORLD WORKS NOW! HURRY UP AND CATCH UP!

Euhm. Bitttorrents have been around for a while now. Please get used to them before they're extinct.

Everyone says that of the show they were at.

Amen. (but mr Prince will not soon catch up to your $$$$)

That reworked version of Bambi sounds great! And that solo is SICK.

SO TRUE!!!

Gosh, I remember listening and did not know it was the same song, until he tore the guitar up! SO GOOD! I want this show!!! It seems so amazing!

I do, too! Also, I can't wait to hear Endorphinmachine with only a 4 piece. I don't think I've ever heard it that stripped down before.
