Prince/CA, USA 04.11.1993

A high-quality audience recording with a realistic feel of the live performance at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on April 11, 1993, the final stage of the Act I tour. Compared to Act II, more songs from “Love Symbol” are played in the first half, and “Push” is also played at the end (in Act II, that part was changed to “America”). Also, “Johnny” and “Gold Nigga” from NPG’s first song are also played. And Prince’s broken singing style on “The Morning Papers” is interesting. The rendition of Carmen Electra’s “Everybody Get On Up” as a Prince-style funk jam is also cool. It’s a shame that “Sweet Baby”, an arrangement unique to live performances, is cut, but “Love 2 The 9’s” is also played in this part. A funky jam is incorporated at the end of the performance of “7”. “She’s Always In My Hair”, which suddenly appeared in a live performance in 1993, is a long performance of over 6 minutes. The wonderful flow of “Insatiable” and “Scandalous” is also wonderful with arrangements unique to Act 1. “1999” is also a thick performance due to the presence of horns. However, the last song “Push” is still excellent. Contains the keyboard phrase of “Atomic Dog”. Act I Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, CA, USA 11th April 1993 Disc 1 1. Act I Intro 2.
