underrated recordings/boots/live shows/whatever As we all moan for more official releases, I come to the conclusion that there's probably a large amount of stuff we haven't heard just cause there's so much. I know a live show is different to hearing actual new studio stuff, but... | |

There are shitloads of great recordings but the majority here will bleat that they're not "pristine" enough.

This one is special because it's the only show of the entire ONA tour that didn't have horns. Catalogue : #4DF 051-052 Formerly TheDigitalGardener etc. | |

This is a great soundboard recording of a rehearsal from 1983. It pisses all over previous versions as it's taken from a lower generation tape. Formerly TheDigitalGardener etc. | |

There's a bootleg of a Controversy Tour show from Columbia, SC that is awesome.
For whatever reason Prince and the band were on fire that night.
Insane energy and the soundboard recording is pretty crystal clear. | |

This is how I like my Controversy. Wonderful quality soundboard, sourced from the old City Lights set but this has been much improved. Formerly TheDigitalGardener etc. | |

A (possibly) little known collection of Gold era outtakes. Slightly different versions to those that were released officially. [Edited 6/21/23 9:07am] [Edited 6/21/23 9:10am] Formerly TheDigitalGardener etc. | |

I would highly recommend the boot (soundboard) from the "Controversy" tour in Minneapolis. The sound is great as the setlist (almost the full "Controversy" album is sung). "Money won't buy U happiness but it'll pay 4 the search." | |

4 Those of U on Valium (SOTT preshow) Hallowed B Thy Name (Gold aftershow in Brussels) Nudity (Nude tour rehearsal I believe?) There are Lovesexy shows from Nagoya, Sendai and one other Japan location. All are excellent. Funky Party 2 Nite (Parade show with "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night" recording used on SOTT) Anything from The Ultimate Live Experience Trojan Horse (of course) Controversy Houston Wonderboy (SOTT Paris)

Now you got me wanting to dig out the City Lights collection... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

One Night Alone Live in Chicago is one of my faves. Midway through the show when he lets loose on 1+1+1=3 to Sing a Simple Song is just so fun and funky. "The usher dropped the popcorn!!"
We had a party years back and someone stole the CD and a bunch of others

A dream come for me would be a pristine soundbaord recording of this show. One of my all-time favorites! Who's the private d*ck that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
Who's the man that would risk his neck for his brother man? Who's the cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about? John Shaft ... Damn Right! | |

Same. That jam with the 'good morning to you' chant is electric. . My first and favourite live boot is This Is My Night (DNA 93 aftershow). That live version of Come still gets me now. . Closely followed by We Got No Love 4 Bootleggers (Manchester Academy 2014), mainly cos I was there. Felt like an aftershow with it being a small venue and was surreal to be 10 feet away from him | |
