So anyone who had a passing interest in Prince, I recommend you take that into regard because Prince for the last 10, 15 or years has nothing on THIS Prince. Prince is also now a hardcore Jehovah Witness, which stripped him of his creative mojo. Nowadays, 2011, Prince's band consists of mostly hired hands, only generally familiar, due to being hired, his music and musical language, thus, competent but unispired performances. Fink" synths, horn section of Eric Leeds - sax and Atlanta Bliss on trumpet and bass Levi Seacer Jr and Miko Weaver on rhythm guitar.įans consider this the most coveted recording of Prince's career, one Prince himself, tries all the time after his Warner Brothers years to recapture.Īnd to an extent, Prince uses this as a carrot to lure in fans to setup, purposely, "aftershows" that are promoted with fans holding on to hope it will be as magical as Small Club. Consisting of of course - Sheila E., Matt "Dr. The bands name at the time was unnofficially known as "The Lovesexy Band", which was actually the band that Prince toured with from the Sign O The Times era through Lovesexy. His band was also a group of his peers, they knew Prince's musical vibe, language and could compliment it so well. You see, at the time Prince was very inspired spiritually, NOT religiously, he was on some high, so his performances were very, very inpsired. my favorite is the extended heartwrenching solo on Just Imagination, truly, Ive never heard Prince do a better guitar solo. The artwork, period correct and not over the top fan cheese, but the music. It's probably best if we do not think too much about Eric not being there, no point in torturing ourselves.I got this boot in the early 90's via a trade on cassette, incomplete, then on vinyl, but I didn't have a turntable! I moved on to CD then, still have the record box set, its awesome then in the mid to late 90's I got this Bootleg - Small Club, finally I could here the show complete, the taper was lazy, anyway, as a fan of Prince's hardcore for 25+ years, this album blew my mind. E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator Princes guitar work on Just My Imagination still gives me a shiver, but in a good way.Įric would have taken it to another dimention. If you only have to have one aftershow from the Lovesexy tour, then this has to be it. People often ask me what is so special about this particular gig, what can one say? For me it is a mix of fantastic sound quality, great setlist, and outstanding musicians. However, who cares, because this is one of the best shows from that period imo. I adore this show, I always wonder what it would have been like had Eric Leeds dedided to join them that night (apparently he decided to stay at the hotel). I have the original X Records version of this on pressed cd, and the Sabotage "Trojan Horse" and I cannot tell the difference in sound quality. Has his ferocity been so evident at shows such as these. The first, the Quasimodo gig on the Sign O the Times tour. London on July 25th, the Hamburg show in late August and one of His aftershows during this time periodĪre just legendary including the incredible Camden Palace show in That 1987-88 featured him at his best more consistently that any Would Stand All Time), lots of Boni Boyer, and a couple of The Joy Fantastic & Just My Imagination), great vocals (Still The show itself is a true aftershow classic, with everything weĬould ask for in a performance: killer guitar solos (Rave Unto In a blind test with both sources playing simultaneously IĬould not tell them apart. Have been no less than a couple dozen of reissues over the past 6 Recording to actually match the original in sound quality. The first time I've said this about any reissue of this show.Īlthough many have tried before this is the first Small Club Of Small Club 2nd Show That Night by X records in 1989. The sound quality is to my ears identical to the original release Now a plethora of soundboard recordings available from nearlyĮvery tour, this is a perfect recording of a coveted aftershow. It is first andįoremost on my personal list of favorites. Recording in circulation for Prince fans. It is no secret that this is arguably the most essential bootleg Het Paard Van Troje, The Hague, Holland 08/18/88
Here we go.wire that guitar up and fuck me sideways if this aint the greatest.before you start! "fuckoff".
