Errors on the Set

I have noticed a few errors on the set.

1. Like many, I agree the live set is slow. At least parts of it...Purple Rain for sure

2. interesting, where Sheila starts the best on Its Gonna Be A Beautiful Night and Prince makes her stop as he'd only asked for horns ..

3. rebirth of the flesh- at the end..the volume suddenly rises very noticeably.... not clear why.

4. More a comment on how revealing the remaster is but on If I Was Your Girlfriend when he sings 'not that your helpless' you can hear more clearly a clink on the left speaker. A friend suggested it could have been him bumping the mic....

6. I Could Never- his solo on this (DVD) seems to show him lose momentum on the solo...minor and he quickly makes up for it.


What else?

And it's been discussed on here. But yes, read the liner notes.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Are we talking about legitimate errors in tape transferring/mastering or performance mistakes from Prince while playing/recording in this case? The first one is the only real "error" in the set from a technical POV that can be confirmed in that sense

Nothing is mentioned in the main track right up. Is it somewhere else in the set?

It says somehow the estate underestimated preorders, let alone basic orders.

I'm looking at the liner notes right now. They say this is a longer version with additional lyrics and the original ending. But they don't say anything about the volume rising suddenly at the end. So I don't think the liner notes answer JoeyCococo's specific question.

.

And in 1998 during the summer he asked:

'Do you have your Crystal Ball?'

.

Princevault says 29 january 1998.

.

This set has the Crytal Ball (song) version that is missing from SOTT SDE.

I'm not buying that the live show is "slow". I've matched many of the notes on my tuned guitar but happy to see if someone can prove otherwise. Sounds fine to me. I'm not sure how this would even happen unless its some kind of 50Hz vs 60hz thing but I think that would go the other way.

How is Wally's warble not on the list?

It's two versions tacked together. You can hear the drums change. And there is a slight difference in volume, but it's only in the last :15 seconds or so.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

I still have a hard tiome imagining this is an accident. Could anyone ask Lisa? Does she interact with fans on her FB or Twitter?

It isn't consistent so it's definitely a mistake on some of the rips? My digital files from WB have an intact start.

Gotcha. That makes sense. The responses to JoeyCocco's question gave the impression that the liner notes explicity address the volume change, but it appears they implicitly explain it.

But that's not facts at all. It wasn't even mentioned until the emancipation booklet - late 1996.

According to Princevault: "In 1990, Wendy & Lisa included this track (now renamed Minneapolis #1) as the first track on a limited edition bonus CD included with their third album Eroica [...]"

If anyone has that CD they can listen to see if the introductory note is included. That will give us an idea of whether that note was intended to be there or something Lisa thought should be scrubbed.

It was a joke, referring to how long it took for people to receive their orders. wink

Thanks for the response. When I read some say that it's explained in the liner, it didn't make sense. This was an error...an obvious one.

The book states "Train" was recorded heavily with the D50 but that synth didn't come out until a year later. Think he meant to say the DX7 which is where the Train sounds come from.

You have promo files that come directly from WB?

I have the digital files WB provides for everyone who bought the physical sets. Redeem the code and you get MP3s and Visions is not clipped. Visions is also no longer clipped on Spotify.
