Buyer Reviews :
If there were any doubters beforehand, this 3CD box-set should silence them! His jazz upbringing shows throughout. This being a LIVE set and for those keenly aware of how GREAT Prince is in concert, such as myself, this set is an extra treat! The side-musicians: Renaldo Neto(keyboards), Rhonda Smith(bass), Maceo Parker(saxophone), Greg Boyer(trombone), John Blackwell(drums), Larry Graham(bass), Sheila E.(drums, cymbals), Candy Dulfer(saxophone) are all of the highest order and are allowed to shine MANY times throughout this 3hr extravaganza, but Prince is the LEADER make no mistake about it! I won't give a song by song play-by-play of this set but I will mention those songs which spoke for me and I think other fans of this artist. They are the HIGHLIGHTS in a set of gems:
1) Xenophobia (free-form jazz! Always changing, never put in a box, is Prince's motto and this song proves it. I LOVE IT!)
2) The Other Side Of The Pillow (That VOICE!)
3) Avalanche (social commentary, at its most biting!)
4) Family Name (Free at last!...)
5) Everlasting Now (BRILLIANTLY performed on the recent guest spot on the 'Jay Leno' show!)
6) Anna Stesia (brings back memories of the Lovesexy album and tour with an EXTRA touch at the end (ie. 'Rise Up' seque) which takes it over the top for ME!)
7) Joy In Repetition (GENIUS...I can't use this word enough)
8) We Do This (FUNKIEST SONG of the past 20-25 years! The artists on the song: Prince/George Clinton/Larry Graham/Maceo Parker/etc.. gives you some idea of what this song is about! I would rank this song up next to songs by The Godfather-James Brown (one of Prince's idols) and not feel embarassed!)
9) Peach (a very funky extended groove - over 11 minutes!)
10) Girls & Boys (the 'LA' chant throughout this song, does it for me!)

In an age of bland industry cookie cutter products being given to the public, Prince stand as ONE OF THE FEW whose whole life's mission is geared for the MUSIC and the music ALONE and that's why I'm a fan and why he has my undying respect. As I've said before in one of my reviews and Prince uses in one of the songs here: 'REAL music, REAL musicians'... enough said!
