[LiveWeek] Prince – One Night Alone
(3 Podcast Set)

(Feat: George Clinton & Garry Shider : LIVE 3 CDs)

Well, it took over 20 years, but Prince has FINALLY released a live CD. Why is this a big deal when everyone knows live albums suck? Because everyone also knows Prince is one of the best live performers out there. He may not be able to sell records like he used to, but if ONE NIGHT ALONE . . . LIVE! is any indication, he can still play his heart out in front of an audience. And some things are just worth the wait. As with a few of Prince’s big deals of the past 6 years, this is another 3-CD set, with 36 songs, all live “recorded directly from my soundboard to 2-track for release” says Scottie Pakulski who acted as sound man for the One Night Alone Tour.

The first two CDs contain songs culled from various performances in 9 different cities between March 11th and April 30th (2002? I don’t know. The Pakulski notes are dated July 2002, so let’s assume it was earlier that year), but a little overdubbing here and there to meld them all together so perfectly they seem to come from one show, and you’re good to go. The third CD, subtitled “It Ain’t Over” contains 9 more songs from later those nights, during the aftershows where Pakulski says, “With no set list, rented band gear and no curfew, Prince and the members of the New Power Generation march fearlessly into compositions, both written and often times not, and leave his fans, the people that mean the most to him, hungry for more.”
