Prince - With U Prince ~{Revisited}~





This show is from the 1999 Tour Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles March 28th 1983, A great audience recording and 1 of my favorite bootlegs. This show is why I love live material cause generally you look for something in a Prince show like special moments, and here there are a few. First of all if you've heard any 1999 tour shows the music is typical for the Era great, I loved Lisa Coleman's Keyboard solo of With You off of Prince's Self Titled Album. But the Gem to me was his performance of Moonbeam Levels, an unreleased song recorded July 6th 1982 at Sunset Sound Hollywood, California according to The Vault Book although never placed on a configuration of 1999 it was considered for inclusion on the aborted Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic album as the ninth and final track in mid January 1989 before its cancellation when Prince began work on the Batman Soundtrack. Nonetheless it still remains unreleased, and on this bootleg is 1 of the rare live moments I love as a whole. It also has 3 bonus tracks 2 from The Vanity 6 Opening act "If A Girl Answers Don't Hang Up" and "Nasty Girl" the 3rd being Grace which is the B-Side to The Time's Funk Classic 777-9311. The whole show is great if you have a chance to hear it I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.
