COMMENT

Sourced from 2 uncirculating (until now) recordings these are both head and 
shoulders above what is circulating. The 11th March 1995 show can be found 
HERE and the quality is less than impressive. Thankfully here the 11th March 
recording really leaves little to be critical about and is amongst the better 
of the entire tour. The audience are audible throughout and it would be only 
fair to say that a couple of females in proximity to the person recording can 
be slightly overpowering, however Prince is loud, clear and to the fore of the 
recording throughout. There are a few minutes of rustling at the start of 'I 
Love U In Me' where the mics appear to be getting moved, but otherwise I've 
nothing to complain about. The show itself is fairly typical of the tour and 
whilst there is nothing particularly rare played (perhaps with the exception 
of 'Sex Machine') it is a very enjoyable show - however it's also notable for 
the lack of jamming or extended improvisation. The quality of the 10th March 
3rd disc doesn't quite match the excellence of the 11th March recording, but 
is still very decent. It does improve as it goes along and 'Pussy Control' 
onwards is nearly as good as the 11th March recording. The recording is evi-
dently incomplete, but what is here is remarkably similar to the following 
nights show in terms of content. Overall it's hard not to be impressed by the 
quality of both these recordings as this tour isn't known for producing excel-
lent quality recordings. A great release for anyone with even a passing inter-
est in this period of Prince's career.
