Prince / The Rules Oakland 9-9-04 (2CDR)

This ultra-high-quality audience recording captures a live performance in Oakland on September 9th, three days before the final day of the Musicology tour. Controvery builds up excitement with the inclusion of "I Want To Take You Higher," which they also did on the final day, but still, cool stuff is always cool. Then there's the unveiling of the unreleased acoustic track "The Rules," a jam on "Freek-a-Leek," and, best of all, a first for this band version of "7," followed by "Pop Life," and then the sudden performance of the song everyone's been waiting for: "Call My Name." The flow is thrilling. What's unprecedented is that Call My Name is played for about seven minutes, and perhaps because of that, there's no encore. It's not that it was incomplete, but that it wasn't performed. However, I investigated whether this is true, and it seems that it is incomplete. Which is true?
