Prince - Live Yokohama, Japan (1986)

Prince - Live Yokohama, Japan (1986)


This is a very fine bootleg, in the sense that it captures the last time that Prince performed live with his backing band The Revolution. It is also the final concert from the Parade tour on September 9, 1986. The concert is a staggering 53:16 / 56:41for each disk and it is the absolute very last Prince and the Revolution concert ever! Recorded live at the Stadium, Yokohama the sound quality is surprisingly impressive, and is the best of the four 1986 Japanese shows in circulation. The show was held in a 50,000 stadium, yet the quality of the recording has a rather intimate feel. The show highlights include a very lengthy piano segment with rare performances of 'Do U Lie?', 'The Ladder' and 'Condition Of The Heart'. 'Sometimes It Snows In April' is also given an airing, and ends on a rather emotional note with Prince thanking Wendy & Lisa. The closing 'Purple Rain' is extremely lengthy, and the show ends leaving a lump in your throat knowing that this is the last ever time The Revolution would perform together as a band.

Prince is still the king, in McCrank's world. If you hadn't noticed most of what I post is stuck in this wierd time warp, with a nod to the current indie crop. Post me up some of your Prince boots to post. Share alike!
