Prince / Final performance in Japan on November 19, 2002 at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan Complete Edition Tokyo, Japan 11.19.2002 Complete

This title is a full recording from the Best Quality Audience Master of the live performance at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on November 19th, the last performance in Japan for Prince in 2002. This title is a direct complete recording of the second day’s live performance at Nippon Budokan on November 18th and 19th, which was the highlight of the nine performances from the 2002 “ONE NITE ALONE… TOUR” Japan tour, which ended up being Prince’s last performance in Japan, directly from the original master tape, which is clearly different from the past distribution. You can clearly hear the legendary Japanese MC at the beginning of “Prince Drum Solo”, and in the band sound, everything is clear, from John Blackwell’s drumming and the heavy groove with Rhonda Smith’s bass to Maceo Parker’s saxophone. As for the show itself, the first day, the 18th, was said to be one of the best performances of the tour, and the passionate performance lasting 2 hours and 40 minutes was a hot topic, while the second day, the 19th, was 2 hours and 14 minutes long, but included many songs that were not performed on the first day, such as “The Other Side Of The Pillow,” “When U Were Mine,” “Gotta Broken Heart Again,” “Last December,” “Peach,” “Alphabet St.,” and “All The Critics Love In TOKIO.” In addition, “Gotta Broken Heart Again” and “Last December,” which have operatic choruses arranged to sound like different songs, will be making their first appearance in Japan. “Purple Rain” was also performed for over 10 minutes, and the last “All The Critics Love In TOKIO” ended with a 16-minute funk competition, including “A Love Bizzare” and “Sexuality.” This will be a permanent memorial item for fans, as it was Prince’s last live performance in Tokyo.
