Prince/Canada 2011

The Welcome 2 Canada tour was not well-understood as it had not been discovered very well. This was due to the lack of tapers in Canada, but the newly discovered sound source, the Vancouver performance on December 16, 2011, is now available as a complete recording with a powerful and wonderful audience recording! The opening begins with a majestic Gold! And what follows is Purple Rain at this position! The set list suddenly comes to a close, but from there it becomes a storm of hit songs. In Derilious, Maceo Parker adds some funky color with his thrilling saxophone, and in Let’s Go Crazy, there’s a surprise where Prince improvises some cool phrases on the guitar. From there to the exciting 1999. From the very beginning, it excites the audience. This is a rare play of Mountains that suddenly starts just as Shhh is about to end, and it is a performance with a solid arrangement that is unique to this time. And Everyday People, which is interesting with Shelby working hard on vocals and Prince on the chorus, is a longer performance than usual, but Maceo shows off his exciting saxophone, and the backing is a funky jam to match. is rare. Then I found myself into a jazzy version of the Beatles cover Come Together. Maceo is also active here. Alphabet St. will also feature Ida’s bass solo and Andy Arrow, and will also include a phrase from Graham Central Station’s Hey Mr. Writer. And this is a super rare play, Long Train Runnin’ by the Doobie Brothers. Prince is on the chorus side and Shelby is the main vocalist, but it has a very fast-paced feel and is very cool, including Maceo’s saxophone. The venue would have been shaken by the electro-funk mannerism Controversy, and in the second half, if I Was Your Girlfriend with an irregular backing, Kiss with Maceo’s saxophone solo, and the sampler set did not start with When Doves Cry, but The Dance Electric. This is an unusual thing, and Hot Thing features Maceo’s saxophone extensively. Then, Maceo incited the cover of Sylvester’s Dance (Disco Heat), and something like a beam flew around, leading to the closing song, Baby I’m A Star. I will push forward without losing my excitement until the very end!
