Prince / LA3-The Conga Room (1CDR)

● Prince/LA3-The Conga Room (1 CDR)

March 28, 2009, aftershow at The Conga Room! This live performance (included as a bonus) followed three consecutive Tonight Show appearances. Just check out the setlist! It's incredibly rare! And the band lineup is the old NPG lineup, featuring Michael B. and Sonny T. This is the true rock world of LOtUSFLOW3R! The incredibly rare "I'm Yours" is from their first album! Prince's shouts are youthful! And Colonized Mind, which is sung in a way that breaks down the original, and Chaos and Disorder, performed with Michael B., Sonny T., and the original lineup, give you goosebumps with Michael B.'s thumping drums! I Like It is also the original lineup, and it's also awesome! This is the first appearance of a cover of "With a Little Help From My Friend"! Jimi Hendrix's hugely popular "Spanish Castle Magic" is a guitar rock track that could easily have been included on LOtUSFLOW3R. The wild guitar rock of "Spanish Castle Magic" is also amazing! The rock-esque guitar backing from Michael B. and Sonny T. is also fantastic! And finally, the stunning performance of "Dreamer"! It's played longer than "Tonight Show"! Frederic Yonnet's harmonica playing is also amazing! This song is truly Prince's signature track on LOtUSFLOW3R! There are so many great tracks to list, this album is packed with the best of rock music! A must-have item for Prince fans!!!

We managed to sneak into Prince's rarest club gig, where he performed three shows in one night, and successfully recorded it! This is truly a miraculous and rare live performance! Incredibly, the track he gave to Shaka Khan, but Prince's own version of "The Center of Your Heart" was only available on bootleg outtakes, is truly amazing! Naturally, this is the first live performance! While the first half is unfortunately missing, Prince's elegant vocals, Renato's piano playing, and the band's beautiful developments make for a spine-tingling performance that lasts for over seven minutes! And also making its live debut is "The Sun, the Moon and Stars"! This beautiful melody from the Rave Untold Joy Fantastic album is performed in full with a full band sound! And Prince sings it beautifully! This is undoubtedly the best live version! Plus, a never-before-heard piano instrumental version of "Sometimes It Snows in April"! The string-like keyboard sounds in the background create an atmosphere reminiscent of the film Under the Cherry Moon! And then there's another rare track, "When the Lights Go Down," featured on The Vault, again with a band sound peppered with wonderful jazzy effects! Prince also shows off his finest vocals! Rhonda Smith's bass roars! John Blackwell's drumming in the second half is incredible, and his guitar cutting is sharp! 12 minutes of groundbreaking Prince jazz will move you to tears! And then there's Prince, again with a beautiful melody, "Eye Love U, But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore," again with meticulous singing. Renato's piano is exquisite, and the performance will move you to tears! This is the first time he's performed this song, after an MC praising Alisha Keys! This is funky jazz that will give you goosebumps! It's "She Spoke 2 Me," a rare track from The Vault, and it's all great songs! This is Prince's best band from his One Nite Alone days! That flute is even included! Then, "She Spoke 2 Me," you'd think, couldn't get any more surprising, right? Prince was about to go home in a daze. But the real surprise awaited! A truly unreleased track, not included on any album, only available on bootlegs, and a huge favorite among bootleg fans! It's "In A Large Room With No Light"! Wow, this smooth, light jazz! Prince sings with ease and ease! The all-important flute is used effectively, making Eric Leeds seem almost present! And, as always, Renato's keyboards are amazing! A groovy bass line! A refreshing cut! It's so moving it's almost enough to move you to tears! Then, for "Sweet Thing," Shaka Khan himself appears and sings while Prince skillfully plays guitar! It's full of surprises! Prince must be satisfied now, he says, "I want to go home!" He continues playing, then plays "Insatiable" and, for the first time in a while, "Scandalous"! All of these are fantastic with the band sound! And just when you think that's it, the final two songs are a sing-along of The Beautiful Ones and Nothing Compares 2 U! The audience is in ecstasy! The difference between the unreleased songs and their best hits is incredible! This is without a doubt the best live show of 2009, and the best item! An absolute must-have!!! (Note: Pro-shot footage already exists for this live show.)
