Without saying which show you have, we can't know if it's rare or not.

That, + in fact most shows (I have no exact figure, but I'd say an easy 90% of them) are in circulation. This isn't widely known because most didn't do it to proper bootlegs, but the cassettes have all been ripped to digital and are occasionally found online in big batches.

Most, however, are terrible (in terms of sound quality) audience recordings that you probably wouldn't wanna listen to, and I could never bother getting (let alone listening to) all of them.

Best bet is to look first for soundboard recordings, then for the most beloved audience recordings.

In 1992 i saw the diamond and pearls concert, in Manchester UK, it was not only the best Prince concert, but teh best concert ever. It Must have been 40,000 fans and i saw a guy in the middle recording the concert on camera. I just wish if that recorded existed, i looked everywhere.

I been to many Prince live shows and they are all recorded as they are displayed on 2 big screens.

Archive leads me to an ad

Yeah, it went away sometime in the last week or so. I've heard it's possibly coming back, but no such luck yet. Was a great site, and yeah, there's a ridiculously large number of (publicly circulating) recordings--I'm not sure if Databank's estimate of 90% is true, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were accurate.

This might be true for Prince (?), but the fact that a concert is displayed on big screens doesn't mean it has officially been recorded and archived.

Lovitzj, probably not the best idea to post links to bootlegs on here. There are plenty of places on Facebook and Discord for that.

Ok I'll try again I have a great Show that appears nowhere. It was meant To be exciting.

If you're now certain it isn't in circulation at all, it's only gonna be exciting to you unless you leak it

There is a circulating d and p audience DVD it might replicate your show pretty close

Thanks i did get a recorded video of the concert at the time on vhs same concert but it was very far back, even though you could see the massive stage, it was blurred and couldnt make out Princes or the bands faces much.

Thats what i heard, they must record, then what is the point. Because some of the live shows have been professionaly used like on 3 chains of gold, and Diamonds and pearls colletion both on vhs there is live clips of live 4 love and the max at various live gigs.

Prince recorded most of his live concert performances. His primary purpose was to routinely review these (often immediately after the night's performance) to consider future improvements.

There is an audience recording in circulation for the performance on 17 December 1997 at Bradley Center Arena, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA:

It seems Prince recorded everything he could. We know he liked to watch his own performances for improvement, and he began with the one camera set-up quite early in his career (if not from the beginning?), so I'm pretty sure he took advantage of the direct multicam setting for big screens when he had one: video tape was cheap, and then digital made it all the more easier.

Yes that makes sense.
