Description
The Jam Of The Year world tour, which began in July 1997, changed the set list little by little, and the final day was January 22, 1998 in Oakland. This time, we will release a very wonderful audience video that captures Prince firmly, using the newly excavated Prince / Oakland 1998 New Master sound source and synchronizing it with the strongest Oakland 1998 video ever on Blu-ray. He makes a dashing appearance at Jam Of The Year, and suddenly dances and sings on the piano. His movements are sharp, and he dances agilely next to Rhonda’s bass. Prince is excited because it is Larry Graham’s hometown, but he is very energetic, going right and left on the stage, playing the piano, singing in front of the microphone, and it feels like he is always dancing something. He also sings while dancing in Let’s Work. A woman is on the stage, but Prince almost ignores her and is immediately kicked out. The honky piano play in Delirious is cool, with him lifting his feet and playing with his buttocks. Prince then glides off the stage. Kirk Johnson plays the drums for a bit. The camera keeps a steady view of Prince throughout “Purple Rain,” and he gracefully plays the guitar, which is his symbol. Prince captivates the audience with his dancing and singing, and leaves the guitar to Mike Scott. Switch to I Would Die 4 U. The dance continues, and Prince plays the Six phrases on the shoulder keyboard. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World is a jazzy band version that features Prince singing in a falsetto and natural voice, dancing like a ballerina, and even adding piano. There is a statue of an animal like a Merlion on the stage. Face Down is performed with the audience lights on. A child appears on stage and when I ask what’s wrong because he’s not dancing, he says that Face Down is too slow for him to dance. Prince doesn’t get angry, but instead creates a groove with the bass, picks up two women, and encourages them to take the child’s hand and dance. Meanwhile, Prince plays a funk jam with a great bass, but the child still doesn’t dance. Then he tries to make the children dance with his mouth phrases, and even the chopper bass explodes, and the chant “Freaks On This Side” appears, and the audience is quite excited. Prince hugs and kisses the dancing women, saying “The most beautiful girl in the world”. But the children don’t dance. After doing this for just under 15 minutes, the house lights go down and Face Down starts in earnest. This long intro is only for this day. The children called in a rare version. Even after that, Prince couldn’t make the children dance, as he straddled the bass with his feet, and the Face Down is in top form, totaling 20 minutes of threatening. In “I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man”, he plays dashingly with a guitar with a gold symbol mark. The second half develops with a progressive backing and a sharp guitar solo. Prince then refers to the Greek word Stauros, the tool used at the crucifixion of Jesus. It was translated as Cross in a religious sense, but Prince said in his MC that he would not call it that here and asked them to think about it. Later, The Cross was renamed The Christ with the advice of Larry Graham, but it is interesting that such a reference was made in Larry’s hometown in a performance as The Cross before that (similar references were made at the Minneapolis performance on December 11, 1997 and the Houston performance on the 31st. After a series of gigs with Larry Graham at Paisley Park in February 1998, Prince played The Cross for the first time on February 27th), so Prince must have had some feelings about it. In fact, the name of Christ is not mentioned, and it is one of The Cross’s great performances, including some very wonderful guitar playing. And Dreamin’ About U, which was only played on the Jam Of The Year World Tour, features Marva King as the main vocalist, but it is a very beautiful performance. It is possible that a studio version with Marva singing was recorded, but for now, only the live version will be enjoyed here with the video. Cat Dyson, Rhonda Smith, Mike Scott, Mr. Haze, Kirk Johnson and other NPG performers, Prince is not said to be absent, but he does not appear in the video. And Do Me, Baby Medley is a great performance with microphone cutting, crotch splitting, dancing, singing, and a crazy sharpness. Adore, Insatiable, Scandalous, How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore, and the lyrics are inserted and then back to Do Me, Baby, it is a great performance where you can enjoy Prince’s love-filled singing and shouts. And Sexy MF, which gets the crowd excited while dancing, has an interesting phrase on the keyboard, and from there, it is a very cool performance with honky Prince’s piano, and there is also a scene where Prince shows his skin to please the audience. If I Was Your Girlfriend has great vocals and the dance is too wonderful. From there, it goes to a piano medley. Prince is playing quite well from the side. First of all, I’m glad that they played The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker well, and it’s crazy that Girls And Boys is singing together with the audience. Prince repeats “I can’t just play the intro to Darling Nikki”. The audience finally sings Prince and sings together. As usual, I have to tell your mother this. Diamonds & Pearls is also played well and his sincere attitude towards singing is oozing out. The Beautiful Ones is also a little out of sync, but it’s a great performance and I can’t get enough of it. How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore starts with me saying that I used to be like this, and he sings with a lot of tension and also performs a sad dance. He concentrates on singing Take Me With U and Raspberry Beret, leaving the guitar to Mike Scott and Cat Dyson. And then the main performance comes. It’s a performance of Mad Sex, which will be included in NPG’s “New Power Soul”. This song was written from mid-November to December 1997, and Prince performed it live before the release of the album with little time in between. “In the mornings, when I was horny, we would have sex like crazy. And in the afternoons, we would have sex like crazy. To make the other room dirty. What good is time?” This could be interpreted in many ways, such as his marriage to Mayte, including trying to get pregnant (some say the other room was for the kids), his battle with Warner, or religion, but Larry Graham seems to be the problem. In fact, he played Mad Sex with Larry Graham several times at Paisley Park after this. From the second leg of the Jam Of The Year tour in September 1997, Larry Graham’s Graham Central Station began to open for many bands (including this day). Prince introduces it as a new song, asks the audience to tell him what they were doing, and then does a call and response to get the audience to say Mad Sex. He sings about his past against the backdrop of a sound that gives the impression of jazz at a cheap bar. Sly and Larry’s Jerry Martini play saxophone. The backing has changed and it’s a different new song! Prince sings “I Like Funky Music” well. He proudly holds a cane on the piano, then pulls out Jerry to play a solo, and gets the audience excited. The video cuts off in the middle, but a large part should be recorded. The video also captures the part leading to Baby I’m A Star, and the final grand finale 1999 is also recorded, resulting in a nearly complete video of the final performance of the best Jam of the Year tour. And then there is the aftershow, which has been remastered and recorded. There is some hiss noise, but it is a stable and fairly good audience recording. It starts with a slow version of Larry Graham and Prince’s Thank You, and then goes from Robert Johnson’s Ramblin’ On My Mind blues to The Ride, which can only be played at the aftershow. It immediately goes to I’ll Take You There, but it is sung by Marva King. In addition to her, Cat Dyson and Rhonda Smith are also doing chorus, and Prince puts in some bluesy guitar. Then Prince’s Baby roar switches to the old-fashioned funk of I Got The Feelin’. Jerry Martini and Cynthia Robinson’s Sly-style horns are involved, so it feels a bit strange that JB’s cover is being played. Prince asks if he can play the piano. JB also plays the piano, but he doesn’t, and it becomes Mike Scott’s guitar solo and Mr. Hayes’ Hammond-like sound solo. This is also super amazing. Then Prince asks the audience if he can play the piano again, and this time he plays a funky phrase. Prince is better than JB, but Prince has a sense of unity that is somehow JB-like, which is cool. Then it connects to The Way You Do The Things You Do by The Temptations. Prince is the main vocalist, the female chorus, and the audience know it, so everyone sings. Jerry’s sax is called and he jumps out, and it’s great. Marva also sings and encourages the audience, helping to create a 60s Motown-style arrangement. Jackie Wilson’s Lonely Teardrops is sung next, making you wonder if they’re going to play songs from the 50s and 60s, and then 18 & Over is played with a heavy groove because it’s Friday night. This is a must-listen live arrangement that can only be heard here. 777-9311 is also played firmly, but at a slower pace, Prince’s chopper bass explodes, and after Prince sings, Larry plays Groove On, which is included in GCS2000. Then Marva King sings the unreleased song Playtime, and Prince plays a great jam that is unique to this period. Then Larry and Prince come forward to The Jam, which is a strange member introduction, and unfortunately fades out after Larry introduces himself.
