OMG this version of How Come U Don't Call Me is off the charts, I mean REALLY.

He's hitting notes I totally wasn't expecting, usually it's up to Ab5 (which still is extremely high) but on this one he goes up to Db6

My brain just melted. Thank you Prince.

I can hear Princes guitar face.


I love this!

Can anyone inform on the files themselves? Are they FLAC, WAV, or MP3?

FLAC.

It's FLAC, but it's from a lossy source. Strangely, the frequency cuts off at 19khz.

yesss laawd...

thanks a lot (for a "rare" soundboard! recording)..

thanks: to all involved 4 doing "the work"..

And yes the cover art is amazing..!





The medley: "What Have U Done 4 me Lately" is funkyyyyyyy!!

And of course its a pleasure to hear "Act Of God" live...

"The Love We Make" and, and... so many great moments..

At first listen I was a little disappointed by all those short snippets, otherwise... now I really like it.... it keeps getting better.

^ really? Are you complaining about this free recording..

Imo you should complain about those lossy "audience recordings" (I dislikes those myself)...


But -in this case- you should appreciate a soundboard! Just imo.. "Peace".

Did I sound like I was complaining?

Listening right now, great to hear this soundboard. Amazing. ..

again..

ooops bluegangsta, I see you are the original thread poster.. silly me.. for thinking you were complaining..

A cutoff at 19khz, e.g. the -3dB point, will not be noticed by many.

Do they hear beyond 16 khz anyways?

No, but I find it odd that people reencode lossy sources to a lossless format.

That is to be able to say: "but i have a flac!".

OTOH: what mp3 bitrates preserves until 19 KHz?

256 Kbit/s?

No encoder that I know of cuts the frequency off at 19khz, that's why I find it very weird. Low quality lossy formats are usually 16khz and higher quality ones are 20khz.

I read on twitter it was Snoh Aalegra.

The snippett sounds good, hopefully it will get a release

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

Unofficial. A guy on twitter who posts a lot of Prince related news said Dr Funkenberry confirmed it, so how accurate it is I don't know.

That cover art is pretty awesome.

Considering how low the audience reaction is in the mix I'm pretty sure it's soundboard.
I was reading earlier on the boards that Prince had" lost his voice" - why do people say that when it's pretty clearly not true?

Dilan said:

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

At the risk of stating the obvious, No. And he wasn't involved in the 'We got no love...' Boot either.

is this and the we got no love one the only boots prince has made? how does he contact you to do the cover email, phone?

TrevorAyer said:

The last montreaux release was a fake sb. Curious if this one is too. It's like they think if the taper is standing near the sb that they can call it a sb

The stereo separation on both boots certainly points to them being soundboards.

Bollocks. They are fully mixed from the original DIs along with crowed mics.

It doesn't matter where you are in the audience - no ameture recording can sound as clean as they do.

How do you know they are tight? lol

The Love We Fucking Make! Really good there. Best version.

Yeah, that is some crystal clear shit. No way audience.
