Prince/London,UK 1986 & more

A super amazing compilation of the Parade tour, where Prince’s funkiness at the peak of his career, has been released! First of all, the live performance at Wembley Arena in London on August 13, 1986, with super high sound quality, worthy of being called a sound board, with clear separation of the sounds of each instrument and a sound that seems to jump out! This live performance, which is the second day of the Parade tour, has had two types of audience recordings so far, but the sound is different! Although it is true that some parts are recorded, it is almost completely recorded, and it is a miracle sound source that allows you to enjoy the high-tension band sound of Prince and The Revolution at this time! It turns out that the unreleased song I Need A Man, which was recently unearthed, was actually the backing and horn part of the Controversy performance at this time, but listening to the performance on the sound board will allow you to rediscover the wonderfulness of the development. You can enjoy the rare Paisley Park with a clear sound, and the funky progression of the rare 17 Days and the coda of I Wanna Be Your Lover mixed in is also wonderful. Anyway, Prince is in high spirits, and you can tell from his voice and singing. From the big hit of Purple Rain to the European tour, Prince performed the best stage that overwhelmed critics in order to gain fame in the first place, England. The record is recorded here with the highest sound quality. And in Rotterdam on August 17, there are only five songs, but the encore is fully recorded with a well-balanced and powerful sound board, especially the songs that were not played at the previous live performance on August 13, Mountains and Kiss, so you can enjoy the further charm of the Parade Tour. And also includes a sound check that lets you know the back of the Parade Tour. Mutiny starts with Prince’s interesting singing style, and gradually the tension increases, and you can enjoy a cool performance that thrillingly interweaves Dream Factory phrases. And the long live version of 17 Days, just under 10 minutes, is cool! It’s a rare arrangement that gives the feeling of an aftershow, with elegant piano in between while giving instructions to the chorus and horns. And the version that breaks down from the count to The Ladder’s piano and Prince’s spoken intro, but is played tightly, is also excellent. These songs were tried out in rehearsals for the Purple Rain tour, but you can see further evolution here. And in other rehearsals, there is a cover of James Brown’s Body Heat, which has a great funk, and it has been discovered recently that Prince plays this cover quite frequently. However, while developing in Prince’s style, it is always a fresh arrangement, and here too, there is Prince who draws out interesting phrases from Eric and others, and responds with a quick shout. And Love Or Money, which is played over and over again, is not included in this live performance, so some people may be happy to see it here. In addition to the phrases from “Ain’t It Funky Now,” Prince gives various instructions and tries out various other parts, making this rehearsal feel like the making of Love Or Money.
