So I finally recieved the ONA collection.The piano album and LIVE discs along with the Aladdin dvd.It really is GREAT
I must have a bad quality of the piano album because I am hearing stuff I never heard before
I am listening to disc 2 of the LIVE set.But I think very highly of the piano album.What is everyone's favorites on this set? Were any of you there in person on any of the shows the songs are taken from?
My prince fandom was on hiatus in 2002 so I do not remember how well this whole set was recieved among fans back then

I am a big fan of the piano album, it is always on at my house The live set is a good representation of the US leg of the tour, but I hope that one day it can be extended to include bits f the Xenophobia celebration (particularly the acoustic show) that year and more parts from the European and Japanese legs of the tour.

I know, I`m greedy

It's been a while, but I recall not caring much for Disc 3.
The after show

ONA Live CD 1 & 2:
Sounds great to me.
I wish there were was an audience noise/sound up in the mix.
To me the audience gives it a bit more life and energy to a show
But it is what it is :lol:

Yes I was at one of the shows. I cant remember, but I think Raspberry Barrette or Take Me With U was recorded in Oakland, CA

My opinion: 2002 is one of the best year of bootleg live recordings.

I'm not really sure why he thought this was a complete and accurate account of the tour because it missed a lot of great moments I think. And the aftershow was pretty blah. I still think the main show is fire, but we've seen it all before really.
