Released in September 2008 within days of the Sabotage release "Lovesexy USA" which also contains this aftershow, there really is no comparison between the two versions. This is a completely different audience recording which has sat unheard for 20 years, and is a joy to behold from start to finish. I can"t decide whether to rate it as EX- or VG+ as there are long passages of the recording which really are superbly clear with Prince sounding inches away from the person recording. My indecision lies with the audible female audience members screaming loudly for the opening few songs, then intermittently throughout the show, along with a fair few gents too, it has to be said. Some slight wavering on occasion, along with the recording sounding rather "light", and a very small, almost unnoticeable drop-out during "Just My Imagination" are my only other points of note, and other than these relatively minor quibbles, this is really rather sexy indeed. So sexy that it would make my Top 3 releases of 2008 without question or hesitation. The aftershow was orgasmic before, but hearing it in this quality is like hearing a whole new show, and I don"t mind admitting I pee"d myself slightly on the closing "Take This Beat" funkatron. What a show this is, and what a night this must have been.
