Prince - Birthday Parade (1998)

Sabotage's release of the broadcast from Prince's 28th birthday concert. The broadcast is heavily edited down from the original show. It's very hard to distinguish between the many, many releases of this heavily booted show, however this is certainly amongst the best of the bunch. As you would expect from a broadcast video (which the audio is sourced from), the sound quality is extremely high and has been edited very smoothly. There is a nice mix of audience level throughout with Prince's performance being loud, clear and upfront. The show itself certainly deserves the "classic" status it has received even though this is only half the complete performance. Disc 1 contains the audio with added bonus of the appearance with Sheila E from March 1986.
