Whole lotta love 4 paris aftershow boot.

frankfurt 10/13/2002 and hamburg 10/16/2002 are good quality recordings!
also the late gig recording: nighttown/rotterdam 11/03/2002

IMHO Any of the Japanese shows (except Sendai) surpass ANY of the American or European recordings in terms of pure sonic quality. The Japanese have the newest and best equipment to record with - coupled with that fact they don't feel any need to scream theur heads off every time Prince opens his mouth or moves (unlike some other countries concerts)

I would say any of these are definitely worth getting.

November 15, 2002 - International Forum, Tokyo, Japan
November 17, 2002 - Act City Hall, Hamamatsu, Japan
November 18, 2002 - Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan
November 19, 2002 - Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan
November 21, 2002 - Koseinenkin Hall, Sapporo, Japan
November 26, 2002 - Sun Palace, Fukuoka, Japan
November 28, 2002 - Osaka Castle Hall, Osaka, Japan

Of these - Fukuoka, Osaka and the Forum are my favourites.

send me an orgnote

Ive just got an Orgnote now!

I have so many ONA Tour recording that I had to make back-ups to free space on my hard drive for other stuff. Let the org notes begin.

'Let the orgnotes begin' huh ?

The best sound :

ONA in BERLIN (SABOTAGE) !!!

Chicago has some nice numbers on it..

I call him crazy for not putting "I Love You but" from Chicago on the ONA Box set.. that was a beautiful live version.. he was gettin into that one

Agree !
If you want to choose 1 set from the ONA tour, choose a SABOTAGE release and if you do so, choose Berlin.

Up til Europe, Candy Dulfer said she liked the Copenhagen and Paris shows the best.

I must admit I only heard the Rotterdam and Paris shows. Of which I attended the Paris ones. They were pretty amazing. Even people not there tell me it is an amazing show after just listening to the boot.

To me, Prince fan since 1984, having seen loads of concerts, rate the Bataclan Aftershow the best show I have ever seen, just because I never saw him having so much fun.

From the moment he walked on stage and layed down until the moment he left us chanting until our troaths were sore.

And somehow the good mood he was in translates to the recording.
