COMMENT

An utterly fantastic release from Ladybird. Firstly there's the sound quality. Both the main show and the aftershows are clear audience recordings, however the quality of the Paisley Park aftershow is just slightly better (hence the EX) rating. The main Musicology show, although still head and shoulders above the majority of other shows is lacking a certain....something. Considering it is the first night in his home town, I would expect Prince to be on fire and really raise his game for the show, however the spark (slightly) appears to be missing. The acoustic set is one of the longest of the tour so far, however almost half of it is nothing more than Prince indulging himself and I get the sense that the audience seem to loose interest during parts. The aftershows first act are a cool warm-up for Prince's set. 'Bustin Loose & No Diggity' are definitely Chance Howard's kinda groovz and he comes to life during these tracks especially. Prince's aftershow is an enjoyable, relaxed jam session. Only a few verses (if that) are sung from each song before it is turned into a long funk jam, showcasing each member of the band. The biggest disappointment being 'Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance' which is only a few lines from the song. This release doesn't match the sheer brilliance of VOLUME II, but that's no bad thing - this is still a knock-out 4cd set. It should be noted that this 12 Disc Set (Vol I, II & III) is a numbered, limited edition of 1,000 copies.

COMMENT

Without doubt this is my favourite of the 3 volumes in this set by Ladybird. First things first, the Musicology show is fantastic. Prince's mood is far more energetic and enthusiastic than the previous nights concert and his performance is scorching. The highlight of the show (for me) is 'The Question Of U/The One'. His voice is perfection, his guitar playing is sublime, and the guitar effects to close the song are....awesome. The aftershow is quality, however the majority of the tracks are more laid-back instrumentals than previous aftershow versions that have been played. The real joy of the aftershow lies with 'Beautiful Strange' - I could write a whole page praising it, it's stunning. The Times opening set is a nice addition to the set, and adds to the completeness of the show. Finally, we have 'The Combo' (formerly Dr. Mambo's Combo). These guys are unbelievably funky, filthy and SO much fun to listen to. Their set actually rivals Prince's set in terms of listening pleasure. They do a fantastic James Brown impersonation on 'The Payback', and 'Atomic Dog' would make George Clinton proud. The sound quality (as with the other volumes) varies slightly from EX / EX+. To have all this brilliant material is cool enough, but to have it in THIS high quality is amazing. The packaging leaves a little to be desired (photo-shop job) and a fold-out poster as opposed to a booklet, but the musical content is so good - I don't care. Credit where credit is due, Ladybird have knocked me off my feet with this release. It should be noted that this 12 Disc Set (Vol I, II & III) is a numbered, limited edition of 1,000 copies.

COMMENT

The final volume of Ladybirds document of the Minneapolis 2004 concerts, and it doesn't disappoint. The sound quality is as consistently good as the previous 2 volumes (VOLUME I) (VOLUME II), and the shows themselves feature some unusual moments. The main Musicology concert is the last of the 3 nights in Prince's hometown and he certainly leaves them with a memorable concert. The acoustic set features a soulful 'Motherless Child', and the second half of the concert inserts 'Dear Mr. Man' as opposed to launching straight into 'Whole Lotta Love' (which works very well, and makes 'Whole Lotta Love' sound much more raw after the slowed down break). As you would expect (or at least I would), Purple Rain is just an absolute JOY to listen to. The sound of 20,000 Minneapolis folks singing the "Oooh ooh ooh ooh" part is heart-warming stuff indeed. The aftershow is again (as with VOLUME II) a class show. An audience member gets up to sing (I use the term 'sing' very warily) a verse of 'Joy In Repetition', before Prince takes back the mic for a verse and a guitar solo that challenges the New York 2002 aftershow version in the ass-kicking stakes. Larry Graham gets some action during 'The Jam' on vocals and bass, which leads into a VERY unusual version of 'Purple Rain' without the guitar - I've listened to it a few times now, and I'm still not convinced by it. 'Adore' closes the set, and all too soon - the show is over. As with the other 2 Volumes, the artwork leaves a little to be desired, however the sound quality and content of the discs is SO amazing that the packaging is unimportant. It should be noted that this 12 Disc Set is a numbered, limited edition of 1,000 copies.
