Prince - 1990 (Madrid y La Coruña) y 2 "must have" (1988 y 2009)

Hola,

Hoy he realizado "un barrida" (muchas hora "barriendo" y analizando lo descargado) de 203 bootlegs de Prince, he descargado 25 "live" (de inmediato descarto tomas de audiencia y estudio) y "a primera oreja he liquidado 10", de momento hoy dejo aquí 4, dos de ellas porque son "en Spain" y otras dos porque están consideradas "lo más de lo más"....

De Prince (sin ser "muy cup of tea") no he "pasado" nunca, aunque solo tenga dos grabaciones suyas... y siempre he sentido curiosidad por la montaña de bootlegs que sabía que circulaban... esta mañana temprano he decidido "tomar cartas en el asunto"... esto es parte del resultado.

Y un "aviso a navegantes"..... del "amigo de menores", que se blanqueaba la piel no aparecerá nada por aquí.....


Los 4 conciertos está subidos sin la más mínima edición.

It is no secret that this is arguably the most essential bootleg
recording in circulation for Prince fans. It is first and
foremost on my personal list of favorites. Even though there are
now a plethora of soundboard recordings available from nearly
every tour, this is a perfect recording of a coveted aftershow.

The sound quality is to my ears identical to the original release
of Small Club 2nd Show That Night by X records in 1989. This is
the first time I've said this about any reissue of this show.
Although many have tried before this is the first Small Club
recording to actually match the original in sound quality. There
have been no less than a couple dozen of reissues over the past 6
years. In a blind test with both sources playing simultaneously I
could not tell them apart. If there is a difference in sound it
is discernible to me.

The show itself is a true aftershow classic, with everything we
could ask for in a performance: killer guitar solos (Rave Unto
the Joy Fantastic & Just My Imagination), great vocals (Still
Would Stand All Time), lots of Boni Boyer, and a couple of
unreleased songs (People Without, etc..). This is Prince at his
physical and performing prime. Looking back I would have to say
that 1987-88 featured him at his best more consistently that any
other time of his career. His aftershows during this time period
are just legendary including the incredible Camden Palace show in
London on July 25th, the Hamburg show in late August and one of
the first, the Quasimodo gig on the Sign O the Times tour. Never
has his ferocity been so evident at shows such as these. His
effortless ability to mix stunning cover versions and unreleased
tracks along with completely new renditions of his classics is
remarkable. It also has a lot to do with his look. Watch the
clips of the Camden Palace gig and you can see a stronger, firmer
Prince that we've seen in the recent years. Not one as frail and
weightless as we're becoming accustomed to now. What is also
noticeable in those aftershow clips is that Prince KNEW he had
just hit his prime. His relaxed mood with the European fans, his
musicianship, and his first truly great backing band had reached
a peak at this time unmatched to that point in his career. His
confidence and showmanship have never been so apparent.

Remarks
Bram Technically the real number 1. Not one single flaw! Two great shows in one evening! What isn’t … good, brilliant, exceptional? The band, the vocals, the guitar solos, the setlist. Goosebumps from start to finish!
Edward Insane versions of Little Red Corvette, Stratus, Spanish Castle Magic, In A Large Room With No Light, She Spoke To Me, Empty Room. Mighty beautiful styled show. The magnificent designed 3-CD set of EYE Records, including purple inner sleeves, is an absolute must for any eye. In addition, available on DVD, as well.
Erwin Scary perfection during both shows played on that one day. A super band (with master drummer John Blackwell) that plays with the upmost concentration, and audible fun. Two incredibly exciting sets.
Leon The way I like to see Prince, primarily playing his guitar! Tough solos, piercing high notes and 1 of my favorite covers: Stratus!!
Vincent Once again, one of the best shows Prince ever did. A great version of Litte Red Corvette, lots of guitar and a band leader who is into it! A small highlight is the great drum solo by John Blackwell.



Independientemente de que un sello "no oficial" haya querido hacer negocio.... aquí tenemos una de esa SOBERBIAS FM suizas. Y se percibe "a oreja" que Prince sabe perfectamente que está "donde está", en uno de los más (si no el más) prestigiosos certámenes (llamarle festival es un insulto) musicales del mundo por donde, a lo largo de décadas, han "actuado" los / las más grandes intérpretes de jazz, blues y soul a los / las que admira profundamente.....


Salut,

Ramón





Nota (a las 21:15, hora peninsular): Estoy "que me salgo", todo indica que "los herederos de Petain (entre el PP y Vox) se van a comer un severo hostiazo en la elecciones de "la France"....


  La DIGNIDAD


Me dispongo a ver Casablanca, al igual que después de "la brea de rompepiernas" de alemania decidí ver El Hundimiento, una película a la que acudo con una cierta frecuencia... me pone el Berlín destruido del 45', el final de la mayor escoria de la humanidad desde que el homo sapiens comenzo a ser "alguien" en el planeta Tierra.... ¿porqué?: fácil, una parte nada desdeñable de la población alemana era culpable de toda esa MONSTRUOSIDAD

Muchas gracias, Prince se me quedó en el tintero, nunca conseguí verlo en directo.

Quiso la casualidad de que andara por Malaga, y lo vi en Marbella el 27 de julio de 1990. Impresionante concierto.

PD: Espero que no nos quedemos sin estos hilos que tanto disfruto por Notas de pie de página tan poco afortunadas como esta....

Las 3 sesiones de Montreaux son excepcionales y con un sonido perfecto.

El Small Club lo pillé en vinilo no hace mucho, concretamente esta versión: https://www.discogs.com/es/release/7824837-Prince-Small-Club-2nd-Show-That-Night y el sonido también es muy bueno. Aunque cambia la EQ en algunos temas.
