Prince/Fukuoka,Japan 10.26.2002

This is the Fukuoka performance of the ONA tour. The sound quality is the best audience recording, it’s amazing! I was surprised to see and hear the set list of this day, this is amazing! When the drum solo and The Rainbow Children started, Prince himself said “Fukuoka!” repeatedly! The tension was already high. As if responding to that, the band also answered with a great performance! I’m sure Prince felt that the live performance of this day would be great from this moment! The highlight of this live performance is the world premiere of Push And Pull! It’s a cover song of Nikka Costa, a wonderful song that arranges a rock ballad in Prince’s style! In addition, 1+1+1=3 shows an upper development that incites the audience with “Fukuoka, We Party”, which is already cool! And then there’s the wonderful live take of Strollin’, and from here, the highlight of the highlights, as soon as the funky jam of Pass The Peas is over, they play Larry Graham’s Hair, Prince is taking the vocals! At the same time, Prince’s chopper bass exploded! Furthermore, 777-9311 and The Stick performed a cool performance mainly on the bass! It was such a wonderful time that it almost seemed like an after-show performance! They even played the famous funk song Brick House by the Commodores in rapid succession! This is a very rare performance, even including the European performances, and of course it was only on this day of the Japan tour! The wonderful jam with Maceo was irresistible! The performance even included the shout of “Maite Maite”, which gave me goosebumps! What an amazing Fukuoka performance! And the encore was the best arrangement of Empty Room, and after the band finished the encore of four mellow songs, Prince came on stage alone and performed Last December!!! This song, sung in an acoustic version, would make anyone wet themselves! Ah, I’m glad I’m alive! This was the highlight of the Japan tour, the performance of rare songs, the great performance of Prince and the band, and the result was one of the best live performances. With the excellent sound quality, this is an absolute must-have, you can’t die without listening to it! This Fukuoka performance is a treasure of their Japan tour!
