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!

you know, despite parade being my favorite prince album, i've never been able to get into the shows
from the tour. it all just sounds so cluttered and too fast. but i'll give it another go i guess.

This one is representative of the tour. If you don't dig the show from other boots you probably still won't.

yup, still the same for me, i'm skipping through it now. i don't know exactly what it is.

it's also wendy and lisa. i've always loved their contributions and presence on prince's
albums. but in the live shows they bother me. i'm just not a fan, let's put it like that.

in fact, compared to prince's post 1992 live output, i like his revolution concerts about
30% compared to all his other bands.

but that's another thread. i'm sure enough people are already sharpening their knives

but, beyond the bitching, it IS fucking great that stuff like this still pops up.

absolutely amazing that stuff of such good soundquality can still drop on us
with hardly any notice.

Thanks for the information ! Can't wait to listen to it.

Thanks 2 U (U know who U R)! Sound is indeed verry good. I'm quite sure that the first night at MSG exists in full sequence...

I hate to get some bootlegs cut (by intention?): I listened 2day the Noon Rendezous. Why is 17 days cut!!!! Last song is Possessed?

My plan when i get home from work was to shower and go straight to bed..
Well my plans changed Im busting out my good earphones and jamming this

From what im listing to now it sounds pretty good

Thanks

beautiful...

when "When Doves Cry" begins, for a second you think he's gonna sing I wanna do it baby all the time, alright!

I fully agree!

What a powerful show!

My personal highlights:

"A Love Bizarre": so fresh sounding!

The "Purple Rain"-guitar solo: just cool!

The first night on aug 2, Prince did 6 encores.. This show on aug 3 was the 2nd night that I went to

so the MF'in boolteggers kept the encore segment and wont release it....

Has it never occured to you that the people who shared it were sharing all they had of that recording? You automatically assume that they kept something back because more of another recording was let loose?

If it wasn't for those mother fuckers, you wouldn't have the treasures you do have.

Someone leaked this from their collection and shared it for FREE. Insulting them and complaining is a good way to encourage them to not do so in the future. Just sayin'...

youre bustin my balls but people complain about mono recordings ...

The sound is great, so sharp and clear! Better than the 86 Paris soundboard. But that Paris show a soft spot 8n my heart and it was one of my first pressed cds back in the early 90s

Was it this one?

I need this in my life. THis is the time I ever saw Prince live. OMG such memories.

Yep. Be thankful what you receive.

I get that, it's the same complaint lots of people have about Livesexy; too many snippets, no time to get into things. But the difference is, there was an official video release for Livesexy, so in that way, the audio made sense more.

I bet that once The Estate wakes up, a video release of the 1986 tour will be high on their 'most requested'-list.

To me, personally, this tour was the first I saw Prince live. And it made an impact. The show is meant to be seen and indeed suffers from it's 'audio only' treatment.

I think both this 86 show and the leaked 83 show are amazing to have in such quality, but as a whole, they do not tickle me much, as both shows are rather formulaic. Which is also the case with some of his most admired tours, but somehow he was able to make it sound more exciting, musically.
