Deane's Comments (rates this release 3.75/5.0)
Prince only did two Nude shows in the US and this is the only one available on CD at this time. Sound quality is okay but the show is great fun. Prince always seems at his best in front of a hometown crowd. The inclusion of a beautiful live performance of Scandalous makes this realease worth alisten. It is great to hear the Nude Tour in it's earliest form before the performances got a little worn down. The MC Flash outakes have superb sound quality but are just filler and don't really add much to the release.

This is a really fun show. Prince is in top form and seems to be enjoying himself a lot. The highlight of the show for me is his rendition of Nothing Compares 2 U. The MC Flash material should have been on a separate release., and can be found in better quality on T's MC Flash release.

The second of two warm-up shows played prior to the Nude tour (the first was on 30/4/90 at Ruperts Wine Bar). The setlist here is the same as for many of the Nude shows, aside from 'Scandalous' which was dropped before the tour started. A good show and one I would recommend highly if it were not for the average sound quality. The MC Flash bonus tracks sound horribly like Tina Turner outtakes and one assumes Prince wasn't too proud of his involvement here.
