Deane's Comments(rates this release 3/5.0)
A great show and beautiful packaging. Honky Tonk Woman, Jailhouse Rock and The Ride are difinately highlights of this show. The ending performance of The Cross is not as impressive as it could be. Worth a listen and a good addition to any collection. The Open Session disc are a great compliment to The Park series from Moonraker.

Mike's Comments(rates this release 3.5/5.0)
Freed from the confines of working to a rigid setlist Prince makes this show as unique as all of the other one-off concerts played throughout 1995. 'We march' gets dusted off for a rare outing and his fascination with Sly Stone results in a nice cover version of 'M'lady', and there are other highlights too. Not the best sound, but a great performance offsets this to some degree.
