TDB 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. 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, 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.

"On the one!"


My comments: London Temple's Sound Quality is excellent. Show quality is excrem... er, I mean, extreme cream.

I mean, some of it is quite good shit really. Some of it is just not my taste (my bad). It's all is played so well but there's some rap, and mellow and jazzy jack. Maybe shit needs to grow on me. (No, wait. It's already there.)

This is not my sonofabitch's -- that is, my former younger self's -- Prince.

I don't mean to be mean, I just got off the Prince discog-bandwagon with Lovesexy. Though I def live for Lovesexy before I Live4Love that is not sexy. Tho Prince does play his g-string like ringing a belle so what the hell.

I do recommend the Concert Spoken Intro. It's freaking weird fun. The next few songs are what get in my way, but then I'm not a believer. I'm skipping my way to the judgment day that will never come. Just her, if we're lucky.

So it says here my ears are getting down and opening up as we speak of this here 1990s Prince -- tho not open to rap but hey this devil don't have the patience of a saint -- finally then, in a nut shell (that comes from the mere shell of my let's get nuts)...
