If they went with Utrect from the 21st June for the audio, they could theretically fit it onto one CD, as the show was shorter due to the heavy rain.

I can't see them using Utrect for the DVD as they shows were outdoor and SET looked poor in daylight. Plus the weather was lousy for the first three days of that run.

I don't remember seeing any signiifcant camera set up at any of the Utrect shows. Nothing to the degree of pro set up for the Rotterdam and Antwerp shows.

I'm not too familiar with the live shows. I've just checked a clip of the VOD. 1999 and Kiss were also in the live set. We're they both played regularly on the Sign tour? Were they played at Utrect. I'd check myself but I'm travelling atm.

The rain was terrible on the 21st. The hits medley was played, but 'Forever in My Life' was dropped, bring the show in at under 85 minutes. But the performance was fantastic.

Personally, I'd be more than happy for this, IF it meant a extra disc could be used for other unreleased material. That said, it wouldn't be the definitive tour set list. but it could be argued nothing will top the movie anyway.

Wow, these deluxe compilations - esp this latest one if confirmed - are a big hot mess. I'm going to do my own 'album' edits of vault stuff based on the 'prince vault' material put on lUbe tube. That's U as in You

Gotta have Cosmic Day on there. Come on Estate.

It'd be a shame though if Forever In My Life is missing on this set. It was a highlight of the Utrecht shows. This may just be my memory making things better than they were, but I think the flashing lighters on the beat started in Utrecht. Prince made sure to get the band members from backstage to have a look at it. It doesn't come across as well in the movie (which was giant missed opportunity imo, overdubbing the audio and lipsynching and to add insult to injury those vignettes inbetween that take any momentum out of the thing) but it was magical.

Assuming the list for the moment in true, then this release would allow us to compile every configuration of 'Dream Factory', using all previously released tracks. With one exception. The guitar interlude known as 'Wendy'.

However, 'Wendy' is 1:01 in length. Which is exactly the same length as the track 'Colors' in this new track listing.

If 'Colors' is 'Wendy', then it could be a deliberate attempt to navigate this difficult time for 'eras' by putting everything out that was fitted together at some point. It would also explain why 'All My Dreams' would be included here, rather than in it's Parade recorded time period.

Of course, it begs the question about doing the same for 'Crystal Ball', but with some tracks yet to be declared, if we get Rebirth Of The Flesh, then we can complete a form of 'Crystal Ball' as well.

Sure there will be some who want the segue links, alarm clock removals ect and maybe those could be used in Record Day type releases, but essentially, this package would allow is to complete all configurations of Dream Factory, Camille and Crystal Ball in a single shot, plus have additional vault material.

Maybe it's not so random after all.

Well at least we know the estate draws the line at rape, but calling a girl a "retard" is worth charging money for.

You think those are on par, do you?

Well eggplant is emoji for a dick. So you never know what Wendy had in mind

SOOOO EXCITED by this news!!! Hopefully the banjo version of U Got The Look shows up!

I clearly saw it says Four with Sheila E solo. So....that’s the 20th. Not the 21st. What are you talking about? SquirrelMeat said:

2 different things. I'm just saying that if they used the 21st, they could theoretically fit it on one disc, freeing up space for other material. I don't think they will. I'll happly take the 20th. I'd always like official releases of gigs I attended. Personally, I thought the 19th was the best of the Utrect run.

A banjo version of U Got The Look exists?!

Ohhhh ok. Maybe they’ll go with a Rotterdam show? Who knows. Long as we get an actual concert from the tour I’m happy. SquirrelMeat said:

The Rotterdam or Antwerp shows would make a lot of sense as they had the full production set up in preperation for the movie recording. This was hastily arranged after the rain issues in Utrect and the decision to cancel the outdoor shows in the UK the same week.

Just please include a show on the DVD that we can't find on Youtube. the New Years show at Paisley is great but we have all seen it. The reheasal show at First Ave is great but we have seen it. Oddly I have never found any of the SOTT shows in Europe online. Parade yes, Lovesexy yes, but strangly no SOTT shows. Why???

And there’s way too many tracks from pre 86 so it makes no sense. Once again, they’re throwing shit on here that don’t fit & once again, the Revolution will be interviewed ad nauseam saying this was their album even though outside of strange relationship & it’s gonna be a beautiful night, the released album is 90% solo material

Those songs were slated for what became Sign o the Times so it makes sense.

Except Prince wrote 500 songs for the project. That is according to Q magazine in their greatest albums ever feature. Totally plausible since P could have written, recorded 500 songs in 1986. He was esp prolific around this time, sometimes recording 2 songs in a day and not touring much.

Version where he and Sheila talk about playing a banjo

Interesting how people think that what leaked, which has a lot of missing track numbers, is the definitive list and complain. Personally, it seems like this set will be great, with quite a few tracks I haven't heard and finally good quality versions of some I have. (next to stuff we already have good quality versions of)

.

it seems the goal is to release all the tracks from Dream Factory, Crystal Ball, Camille and Sign of the Times, which is the right approach afaic. And it adds some more goodies, including possibly a concert from The Netherlands I attended. Add a dvd of a Sign Of The Times show, which has never properly been released to this day (unlike most of his other tours of those years), it's an exciting looking set. Can't wait for the full reveal!

Rebirth is such a blatant omission that I'm confident it's one of the not-shown tracks thus far.

Now I wish I could have the same confidence for the other essentials like Cosmic Day, Wally, Coco Boys, Witness 4 The Prosecution (October 86')

Exactly. Let's wait for the final official tracklist before we start getting too worked up.

Magazines like Q just print 'legend' stories. They don't exactly strive for Duane Tudahl levels of research. Prince was recording constantly, I think it's unlikely you could list 500 songs and say they were all definitely for SOTT.

If this list is complete

How many fucking times do we need to say IT IS NOT.

The list I posted contains the track numbers as shown by Questlove. Now, can you count to 100? Can you spot the missing ones?

.

Sheesh.
