I remember this one, because it was one of the first bootleg CDs I had ever heard. The date of the show was actually February 28, 1982.

maybe you're right because there are more electronic elements

present then during the start of the tour.it seems like a transition period

from organic to electro funky sound.

For example electronic toms on the break

of Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad.

It seems like Bobby Z added some electronic drum

sounds to his acoustic kit.

I find that concert to be the best concert of

Controversy tour that are out there .

Prince was on fire.

His ad libing to the middle section of When U Were Mine.

And i love his heavy use of regular singing voice and a combination

with a few falsetto notes.

I love the raw punkiness of Annie Christian and Prince's guitar solo on that song

is there with his best guitar solos.very raw angry and on point.

great show ....how about freeing the video u people

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the 10 minute version of Dirty Mind with:

"Are you wearing any underwear?.....Neither am I"

Love this tour...absolutely bad ass era B)

it was ok

Never heard it.

Now I gotta do some investigating.

Not too long ago i discovered the soundboard for the 1999 show that i attended(fresno)....I'm still happy because of it.

This was the the CD that took me from fan to FAM.

Still my most played and most loved CD after all these years.

can someone pm me as to where I can find this online?..

I have to disagree with you because the setlist on this one isnt a good as uptown live 2 cds which was live footage that was suppose to have been included in the second coming movie and it also features some really great soundboards on the second disc. I also have to say that prince's guitar playing on head at the met center 1982 in minneapolis was immaculate......his guitar picking sounded like a beat on a closed high hat....it was just that good.....

There are lot of nice recordings of Prince during Controvery tour,but New Orleans concert gotta be one of the best.Bands performance,Prince's singing and guitar playing and amazing epic versions of When U Were Mine and Annie Christian.and Prince finishing concert with a :U know i can't leave until i jack u off. Those who have this recording,let's discuss,those who don't,you should get it
