Prince/TX,USA 2002

There were many aftershows on the One Night Alone tour, but among them, there are many who will highlight this Red Jacket performance due to the guests, unreleased songs, and tightness of the performance. This time, we have remastered the master of this wonderful performance and created the best audience recording with just the right amount of cheers and an increased sense of realism. First, Erykah Badu herself appears at the beginning and sings “Didn’t Cha Know.” Prince sings to the audience. Prince has covered it at the main show, but he himself has not appeared. It’s a bit strange, but this is a great duet, and Prince has practiced it many times, and as you might expect from Erica, it’s one of her hit songs, so the result is quite professional. And when You Were Mine is the instrumental of that song at the beginning, but from the second half it becomes a hard rock that Jimi Hendrix is ​​also deep in, and from there it transitions into The Ride like an avalanche. This song is blues, but in the second half it becomes jazz with horns and a piano solo. Apparently this piano is Buddy Miles! Isn’t it the same for the audience? That’s what I’m saying. When Mr. P and Erykah Badu are there, Buddy is also the MC. The buddy adds scatting, and uses that voice to mesmerize the interaction with Maceo’s horn. From the funky guitar intro that makes it impossible to predict what the song is about, the full version of Alphabet St.’s horns blooms, followed by the playful guitar of The Beverley Hillbillies. The performance doesn’t stop and the chant of Pass The Peas jumps in, the horn sounds and it becomes Pass The Peas, and Maceo’s thrilling saxophone solo is also featured. The audience’s shouts of Maceo blow yo horn, and Prince’s JB mannered shouts, and even Greg Boyer is blowing. And Xenophobia’s performance, with its fantastical keyboard notes, solid drums, and sensual horns, is full of aftershow-like freedom. Prince’s 777-9311 bass solo was interjected during the performance, and just as the previous Xenophobia was a magnificent jazz intro, it became a performance of Prince’s unreleased song Touch, which was the only one played that day. Masu. It’s a funk song that sounds like something D’Angelo would do, centered around bass and horns, and Prince asks the audience to shout out “Touch,” and the jam gets the audience involved. Here too, Maceo reacts to the audience’s cries of Touch! and shows off his amazing blowjobs. Then there’s Calhoun Square’s aggressive arrangement that will leave you stunned, and for a moment Paisley Park is played on the guitar, but then Beautiful Strange, which has a bluesy but tremendous guitar explosion, is so good that you might want to call it funk-prog rock. The Rainbow Children, which sounds like an outtake from a studio recording, features Prince MCing for a much longer time than usual in a low Bob George-like voice, and is mostly instrumental freaky jazz-funk, which is very different from the main show. , this will be the last of the show. Prince’s style production where what was the main opening was played at the end during the aftershow. It’s a masterpiece that you’ll want to listen to over and over again.
