Comments Fink's Comments(rates this release 4.5/5.0)
Sabotage's release of the broadcast from Prince's 28th birthday
concert. The broadcast is heavily edited down from the original show. It's very
hard to distinguish between the many, many releases of this heavily booted show,
however this is certainly amongst the best of the bunch. As you would expect
from a broadcast video (which the audio is sourced from), the sound quality is
extremely high and has been edited very smoothly. There is a nice mix of
audience level throughout with Prince's performance being loud, clear and
upfront. The show itself certainly deserves the "classic" status it has received
even though this is only half the complete performance. Disc 1 contains the
audio with added bonus of the appearance with Sheila E from March 1986.
Disc 2 is a video CD-Rom of the Detroit show with added bonus footage from the
Under The Cherry Moon Movie premiere performance. The quality of the video is
certainly impressive when viewed on a PC screen, however it has since been
surpassed since this was originally released back in 1998. The picture tends to
be a little choppy in places and when viewed in "full screen" mode the glitches
become rather evident. The accompanying artwork contains passages lifted from
Uptown along with various decent pictures from the Parade era - not Sabotage's
best artwork, but nicely packaged. Overall this is certainly one of the best (if
not the best) release of one of the Prince's best broadcasts.
