Show #1 of a 21 night stand.

A truly spectacular show. As good as any I have seen by anyone ever. After the first encore, the show appeared to be over - at least 2/3 of the crowd left - but the lights never came on. After 10 minutes, the lights came on just enough for roadies to set up Sheila E.'s drum stand. Show lasted another 65 minutes. Encore 5 is the . . . Best. Encore. Ever.

I usually upload on Dime, but Prince is not allowed there. Samples below. Not my best recording ever, but still great. For you guitar geeks like me - all guitars by Prince - and he only played the Hohner.

Sonics>Battery Box>Edirol R-09HR>ProTools (for level adjustment, compression, eq, noise reduction and song separation)>flac.

Taped and mastered by JB. Please don't sell or convert to lossy format. That means don't a bunch of mp3's on your blog because you want your friends to hear the show.
