And unlike the NPGMC, you get free shipping if you spend $25. (So if you buy both the dvd and N.E.W.S. (only $13.49) from Amazon, you get free shipping.)

Prince: Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas will be released on August 19, 2003. You may pre-order it now and Amazon will ship it to you when it arrives.

The best thing about that is that you won't have to worry about delays like with N.E.W.S. That, and you don't have to pay $25 to become a member to receive essentially the same thing that NPGMC members like myself did...

Enjoy

P.S. It seems they also have several copies of One Nite Alone 3CD set for less than the $50 that the member's only npgmc retail is selling it for...

And Prince's favorite book is 30% off too

You should let Prince and the NPGMoronClique know this.

JohnnyTheFox said:

i did. they read the org. that's where he gets the latest prince news.

violett said:

just out of curiousity, did anyone else order this?

Say what? I bet it aint funky like I was in 86.

suomynona said:

I did. I ordered both NEWS and the DVD.

just so you know, the image actually has to have an address on the internet to work... (people can't see onto your computer

summerdawn said:

i bet you'll get the dvd before 90% of those in the club do

hopefully by the time the npgmc lists the dvd, they'll have updated the retail section to include the dvd and news.

i'm guessing they won't though.

not easy to update everything when it's that annoying flash crap...

Now i kind of feel dumb for spending the $25 on this year's club membership, plus what's turned out to be more for "member" prices on the exact same cds... oh well... lesson learned

Media Play (not sure if you have those) have it for $44.00. I'll be getting mine there. I expect to have both the DVD and N.E.W.S. by the end of August.

suomynona said:

I was all set to, until the email fiasco and people's delayed NEWS shipments. Now I'm just gonna sit back and watch how this one unfolds too. I'll prob be able to pick both of them up in a clearance bin by the end of the year, which is probabbly when my official NPGMC shipment would arrive anyhow.

Exactly. Around Christmas, Best Buy will be selling it for cheap, I'm sure. I won't order anything from the club again...unless of course they release some of the outtakes and they're only for sale through the club. Like that'll ever happen.

Tom said:

i doubt you'll see either in the clearance bin. i don't believe there was a large pressing of news, and dvds rarely end up in the bargain bin (unless they're used) or specially priced... at least, not from what i've seen.

don't hold your breath

Tom said:

Picked up NEWS at Amoeba in Hollywood for $11.99. Fiasco Free!!

TheResistor said:

i'll have to remember that the next time i'm in california...

I ordered mine from playusa.com, others in the UK might be interested too. It's £10.99 including delivery and they normally take about 3-4 days to arrive.

They list the release date as 19/8/03 and £10.99 is just under $18, so a few dollars more than the NPG rate but shipping is extra from them and it takes longer to arrive.

TheEnglishGent said:

you mean, it takes the npgmc longer to ship it out even though they claim it will be shipped out immediately on the 12th? go figure...

will be the performance of 'the rainbow children' be on the dvd? what's the tracklisting to this dvd btw?

purpleone said:

the tracklisting has been posted multiple times...

"Intro/Soundcheck"
"Pop Life"
"Money Don't Matter 2 Night/The Work"
"Push and Pull" (with Nikka Costa)
"1+1+1=3" (includes "Love Rollercoaster/Housequake")
"Strollin'/U Want Me" (excerpt of a previously unreleased song)
"Gotta Broken Heart Again"
"Strange Relationship"
"Pass the Peas"
"Whole Lotta Love" (Led Zeppelin cover)
"Family Name"
"Take Me with U"
"The Everlasting Now"
"Sometimes It Snows in April"

A bonus clip tacked onto the disc features one additional cut, "The Ride," and special guests Nikka Costa, Maceo Parker and Sheila E. also make guest appearances.

who knows if that's all. it's disappointing to say the least that it's only 80 minutes when dvds can easily include another 80 minutes on top of that...

maybe someday prince will get it right.

suomynona said:

why did prince exclude 'the rainbow children'?

that was one of the highlights imo?

purpleone said:

i'd ask him, but it's sunday and he hates to be bothered on sunday.

i'll try to find out tomorrow for you.

suomynona said:

lol

it was meant to be rethorical
[This message was edited Sun Aug 10 12:54:09 PDT 2003 by purpleone]

why order from NPGMC on the 12, if it comes iut a week later in stores on the 19? wouldnt it take that long to get it in the mail anyway?

4nowneway said:

at least that, since prince still ships by horseback and buggy.

suomynona said:

:sizzle: i thought pony express didn't exist anymore...

ok - but the ONA set came with the price of LAST YEAR'S membership so you cant technically count that unless you were a broke ass buster and didnt join.

And when the tour starts, I will see you in the rafters while I am front row - again.
