Prince/US Tour Collection 1983

The highest quality soundboard live and valuable rehearsals from the US tour that accompanied the release of Prince’s masterpiece album “1999” in the early days are now available! CD1 includes a complete recording of the April 2, 1983 Fresno, California performance with the latest remastered soundboard master. As both their singles and albums climbed the US charts, the set list changed from the start of their tour in 1982, and they performed live shows full of confidence. Furthermore, Vanity 6, the erotic bombshell unit that served as the opening act, is also recorded on the soundboard sound source from the March 28th performance. CD2 includes valuable tour rehearsals from the same period. This is a recording of the rehearsal held before the performance in Lakeland, Florida in January 1983, and includes numbers that were not played during the live performance, and “D.M.S.R.” incorporates Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime”. It is interesting to listen to the dress rehearsal, which is not a rough sound check, but just like a real performance. This is a must-listen collector’s item that delivers the latest remaster of one of the best live performances and valuable rehearsals from the 1983 tour! !
