If you had to choose a live album to be released by the estate (featuring main show and aftershow) which would you choose?

I'd go for London Wembley Stadium July 31st 1993 with the Forum aftershow.

I love the set for the main show - a perfect mix of 80s and 90s material. The band is amazing, the horn section add something really special, and there's no extra vocalists or rappers taking away the focus from Prince. Even tracks that I would often skip due to oversaturation (like Kiss and 1999) sound truly incredible in this set. There's also brilliant versions of tracks that were unreleased at the time, such as Endorphine Machine. Prince is clearly loving the energy of the absolutely massive crowd too and he's on top form. However, only an audience recording circulates.

I've never heard the Forum aftershow (as far as I know not even an audience recording circulates?), but I've heard amazing things. And the other aftershows I've heard from this period are all amazing - Madrid, Barcelona, and Kauftleuten especally.

A Bit off topic...really enjoyed a youtube Springsteen live full concert of my favorite album of his Tunnel of Love. Likely fan made, and I think the source shows were varied, the order of the songs mirrored the record, was nice to hear the familiar songs sounding renewed and different live.

Think Prince played the vast majority of his songs at one point or another. Likely most could have a live companion, I recently heard the lengthy live version of Crazy You, got me thinking were all the songs from For You played live at some time, another thing if they were actually recorded.

It would be epic to have Prince, Controversy or Purple Rain in this fashion

Easy. Rotterdam 1988+ Paard van Troje aftershow.

I wonder if there’s much that could be done to improve the already incredible sound of that show!

Paard van Troje aftershow... the stereo soundboard mixdown has a completely messed up mix on "Housequake". One backup vocalist mic is turned as loud as the lead, the instrument levels are all off kilter. But I don't know if anything could fix that effectively.

A Xenephobia celebration box set would be pretty welcome

A new balanced mix is definately needed.

Well, ideally 21 Nights in London. A 'best of' the arena shows, and then all 14 aftershows.
