..Has always been incredible! where would you rank it in Prince's recorded works?

top 3 for me.

well i think it's great anyway!































bastards.

I gotta be in the mood to sit through some of them songs because they are sooo damn long, but as a whole its always been one of my favorite prince discs.

i've listened 2 a smidgeon of small club, and it's awright.

I only really love the first two tracks, but there are so many soundboard boots out there that are fantastic... what about "The Beautiful Experience" with the first hearing of Days of Wild? that concert kicks ass.

true.if it's the same one i'm thinking of it ends with 'Peak the Technique' and 'none of your business'.I think it drops away towards the end, but the first half is great.

if i had to get rid of all of my 500+ prince cds except one title, this would be the one i kept.

it's everything ona live is not.

A bit too much jamming, but amazing sound to this day.

Just My Imagination and People Without are just stone cold masterpieces.

The guitar playing is off the chain. I do wish P talked more on the disk.

its the best thing he has ever done i say.

there isnt really a weak moment,tho Down Home Blues/Kansas City doesnt keep me groovin',
everything else is perfection.
Just My Imagination takes me 2 heaven.

just one uh!...just one uh!...gimme 2 uh!...
oooh gimme FIIIVE!

Where can I purchase this Small Club?

ix-nay on the sking-ay!!!

Can someone put the track list up, cause I think I've got it, but under a different name. Mine is just called Prince Live in Europe 1988 and sounds like it comes from an aftershow or something...

Though I would rate TBODP on ONA Live as highly as anything on Small Club. Or JIR

help! my version doesn't have IGBABN!! god damn stingy 'leggers.
But the version of RAVE on there is just about the best live track i've evr heard.

Are you sure? it's kind of thrown in on Rave i think

Yes, it's no actual standalone track.

ONA Live is Choc full of Complete shit..its slapped together badly... the aftershow is a waste of fucking time...it got played Once, and put away in deadfile.

Now Small Club or Paard Von Troje as its supposed to be called, is a classic cd with amazing sound and is still a gas to listen to, just my 2 cents

It's one of the best live performances by any artist.

Worth it purely for the Just My Imagination guitar solo. Simply amazing

ahhh, in that case I do have it - it's just a short 'hit me in the back' turnaround rather than a whole song.

I believe the reason why people rate it so high is that it simply sounds so damn good. It sounds like ONA live SHOULD sound like... You can DJ it in a club and work the dancefloor... its a great album. But there were even better gigs on that tour... I just wish that Hamburg Große Freiheit was recorded in that quality... that gig was by far better than Het Part van Troje...
But its a classic masterpiece. "Forever in my life" packs every dancefloor.

...I'm gonna get flamed...

I don't like it that much. The sound it so good you can hardly hear the audience. I hate that. A live recording gets most of it's power from the response of the audience, and that's what I am really missing here.

Well, got the 'original' bootleg as a trade for two tapes with the Rotterdam '98 concert, so it was a good deal.

Rave is one of the best tracks I've ever heard him record live. Nothing on ONA comes close. And you can take that to the bank.

P's voice was in poor shape that night.

And you can take that to the bank, too.
