Prince - Thieves In The Temple 1991-1992

[MadFunk3121]

I remember watching part of The Arsenio Hall Show. Patti LaBelle introduced Prince performing Purple Rain, and to the end was a killer performance of "Daddy Pop" were the highlights of the broadcast. ENJOY IT TO THE MAX!!!

COMMENT

Sabotage's release of the fantastic 24th June 1992 soundboard recording with some nice extra's. This soundboard is more complete than the 15th June recording, and the show itself is a much more funky affair. This is also Prince's last night at Earls Court, which may explain him being in such a good mood. The release begins with the spoken dialogue played over the PA before the shows, which in my opinion is not a good idea. It lasts for nearly 5 minutes and gets in the way of the actual concert - it would have been MUCH better suited at the end of the release not the start. The show contains what is undoubtedly THE best version of 'Thieves In The Temple - It' from the entire tour - the acoustic guitar jamming is phenomenal, and the sound is so clear that the chains on Prince's hat can be heard hitting the mic - it's THAT good. The remainder of the concert is a pretty standard D&P concert with little in the way of improvisation - however the sound quality is what makes it so stunning. It's sharp, clear and a joy to listen to. The recording has been sourced from the circulating video (listed HERE), hence it is unfortunately incomplete and missing the closing encore. The bonus tracks are decent filler and all have been sourced from circulating video footage, with 'Dr. Feelgood' being the highlight. The inclusion of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' from the Paisley Park concert is a strange choice as it is identical to the released version on The Hits/B-Sides official release.
