Piano and A Microphone 2016

It baffles me that either the Gala performance at Paisley Park or the final ever show in Atlanta from Piano and a Microphone 2016 still hasn’t been released.
Surely a release of Prince’s final ever performance would appeal to the masses and be a worthy investment.
Maybe they’re saving it for next year, being the 10th anniversary since Prince passed.
Anyone feel the same, want it released or have any info on why the final era has be ignored so far by the estate/whoever is running things these day?
The Sampler Set is great!

I’m sure it’ll get released at some point. All releases for the time being have come to a halt due to the Netflix deal.

As already stated, it is the Netflix deal that has put this on ice. And I presume, unlike some of SE's that have come out in the last few years, it is likely to be an important part of the latter part of the doc.

Joined up thinking would have the video and audio of the gala night (and/or audio of the 'last album Prince prepared for release - Atlanta show 2).

As if they weren't able to release that shortly After Prince death. That was THE very release that could have triggered a lot of money due to morbid/ emotionnal interest from a large audience.
Instead, they released Forever and Piano& Michael 83. eek

Even if the Netfix deal was still active, it doesn't prevent *all* releases.

As I said in the other thread.

This release is way down my list of things I would lied to see released.

I could name probably 20 more interesting releases.

Each to their own. The gala night video is probably my #1 wish. What's yours?

I was under the impression that any release required approval from Netflix.

I don't see how if it doesn't contain anything Netflix was given exclusive first use of.

I mean I have no idea what kind of deal they signed, but allowing Netflix to prevent stuff that isn't going to be in the doc from being released would be plain insane, right?

Of course, that's why the estate was able to release SOTT and D&P SDE, as they could release Lovesymbol SDE if they wanted to.

makes you wonder…

Exactly what type of deal did they sign with Netflix?! And when will it ever be resolved?

Seems like they really made a huge mistake.
