If it looks professional, that probably means Prince and his designers had nothing to do with it.

Nomination for most truthful statement on the org so far in 2015.

But, it's so early in the year! Nevermind, you're right.

[As posted on the banner at the top of this forum:]NO TROLL THREADS! NO SOLICITING FOR BOOTLEGS! Discussion is fine, so long as the bootleg is not being promoted e.g. pre-release; requests/offers to share or copy, and links to download or bootleg sites are not. Posting Prince and associated artist videos from sites such as YouTube is also not allowed. Posts of this nature will be deleted and repeat offenders will be first warned, and then banned. Troll threads, fake tracklists, and attention seeking rumor threads will be also be swiftly dealt with. These rules are strictly enforced! [---- luv4u]

Oh. Another sounboard.

But it's a hits show.

Thanks but I'd rather listen to the mp3z of the München Madhouse gig than to the FLACs of this one.

It is but there's some interesting things in the show. The last few tracks are pretty good. I'm not a big fan on the current live shows. In fact out of the 2013 Montreux shows, I listened to the first 2 shows once and the 3rd night twice and I have never gone back to it since. I did really enjoy listening to this the 2 times I had a chance to yesterday afternoon while I was working. Well at least you have that 87 aftershow now to balance out a new hits show.

Big Chick

Love the 3rdEye shows, really looking forward to listening to this. At 94%, so nearly there.

3EG are a really good live band. I can understand the dislike for the studio work, but this show or Paris show how awesome they have become. The current NPG Horns compliment them amazingly as well, just compare it to the Montreux shows.

We all know he has to play the hits for the masses but its a shame he doesn't mix it up a bit like he did on the first UK Hit N Run last February.

.

Clouds sounds great and he could easily add the likes of Wow, Anotherlove, FunknRoll etc into the set for the hardcores and to introduce the casual fans to some of the newer stuff.

.

I do think he does a good job at freshening up some of the hits though, this version of Nothing Compares 2 U is probably my favourite.

Yep. It's a great recording and it's all very polished but it doesn't feel like a 3rdEye show any more. Could just as well be the NPG

I"d like to see more of the AOA/PE stuff in the set. Clouds is a GEM.

"Don't listen to the people saying fear the 'fro"?

.

Is that what he said?

.

Also, who's the female voice on that "Million Dollar Show" section of the intro?

I read on twitter it was Snoh Aalegra.

The snippett sounds good, hopefully it will get a release

Clouds sounds way better than the SNL performance. Not sure if the band is just tighter or the mix is better (or both), but it sounds great. Act Of God smokes, too. What a groove!

SchlomoThaHomo said:

Maybe you understand why I hated him in 2010 for not playing Act of God.

(he performed it in soundchecks and sang the lyrics over other music while in concert...)

CONTROVERSY

I wondered this when I saw him in Louisville and I'm wondering again now: Why does he keep saying "1982" during this song? Doesn't he know the single and the album both came out in '81? Weird...



Also, anybody ejected from the show for having their "phone out" could use this recording to argue entrapment, no?

Amazing fidelity on this show. Here's hoping that Louisville 1st night 2nd show surfaces in as good a quality. I've never had a clear sounding boot of a show I was at. Would be sweet!

FBG always does an excellent job, putting as much love into the presentation as the content. Fantastic work. Thanks to all involved!!

this is amazing. almost like he released it himself

May be on to something there. The cover artwork is clean and looks very professional at least...

.

People who promote this nonsense should get banned from the Org.

If this is truly from the soundboard, wouldn't it be pretty easy for Prince to figure out who put this out there? It was obviously an American, so couldn't Prince press some kind of charge, or file some kind of civil suit? At the least, couldn't he file suit against the venue for not taking the proper precautions with his product?

If he does none of these things, it leads one to think that either he's not that concerned with bootlegging, or he's part of the process himself.

I think it's the former but I wouldn't ban anyone for wondering if it was the latter.

The sound/mix is better on this than on the Tidal stream.

From an official source? I was wondering if it was Rita Ora but looks like probably not then.

so is prince behind this release? like that 'we got no love for bootleggers' boot cover with the rehearsals on it?

Actually, people who act like Prince kicked their dog at some point in the past and then become overtly negative about each and every thing the man does should in turn be banned from the org. But then again, it appears that someone with some sort of authority around here has some strange affinity for the opinions of this Grumpy Gus and thus allows him to continue to be overtly negative. It's like a vicious cycle of hate and is unattractive and grossly insecure IMO.

But, what do I know?

Man...
