We've had a thread here recently asking, was the piano tour really that good? And most of the people who weren't there said no and those who were there said you had to be there. So I've listened to this version of the song and the one from the North Sea Jazz Festival and I prefer the latter. That organ... Yeah, I think Prince was better with a band behind him.

Really? I thought the piano tour was fantastic. And I wasn't there, just heard some boots.

His fucking vocals!!! Could be the best thing he ever did. Maybe he did know.

FUCKING LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this live version. This is one of my all time favorite Prince songs, but the One Night Alone aftershow version is my favourite, the guitar solo is his best for that song.

I think the tour was great, one of his greatest in fact. Nothing between Prince and his creativity. His voice was was super strong, his phrasing exquisite. The piano playing really brought out the harmonic and rhythmic potensial of the songs, making me hear them all anew.

I downloaded this from Tidal when it became available but I prefer this song with the guitar solo.

Sorry bookwomen, I hadn't seen it! My eyes aren't too good since I've been spending so much time on the org.

Yes, mine also, but I really love this Sydney piano version. In one there is more emphasis on the guitar and in this one, the voice. I think they're very different though both great.

Some songs do sound better on piano but I am so used to hearing this song with a great guitar solo that I felt the paino version missed something.

There are other songs that are better served by the piano

Didn't he also play it on his last show in Atlanta, the second one?

He played it in the first set.

The boots don't do the live concert justice, hopefully an official release would though. This song was amazing live.

Wasn't the Tidal an Official release?

This makes me sad and mad. I thought these concerts we recorded to be released officially.

What we should be mad about is that the web sheriff is more worried about youtube videos and people sharing boots for free -- rather than dealing with those that are actually making $$$$$$$ off of lies.

Think you just hit the nail on the head here, it's all turned into a big masquerade.
