I don't need to say s***

A collection of concerts,aftershows and rehearsals in an amazing example of one of the most prolific geniuses of our time.

Most of this is here, it might be missing one track or two. It's hard to keep track of everything. 5 Volumes of this series is included in the download

scroll up to see the track listing..........

The rehearsal tapes are electrifying, he humbled so many people in that damn room who thought he was just some overrated hype beast with heels on.

And there's hundreds/thousands of hours unheard rehearsals

the bassist says during one rehearsal they played for 24 hours straight and when he went home Mark had to throw his clothes away because they were destroyed from the sweat of that one session.

i’ll be back on sunday with another drop & then one more drop to close out Celebration month

stacks coming -

i forgot how funky this version of something in the water was he’s stomping on this guitar rework version with these funky drums .

good god😭

what a f***ing godsend. wow…this is amazing. any chance you gonna drop SOTT rehearsals? @op

oh yea i will get to those. there’s a lot of collections to go still. 😎

this version is too real

the way he builds the guitar before he starts singing with that reverb and the guitar blasts

“one more change……no more change” - prince

in another universe someone is getting fined by prince. listen to the directions or face the consequences of not being able to afford having lights on at your apt. 😒

One thing is for sure- If you are into Prince, this is a legendary collection of ecordings at Sunset Sound. You get to hear Sheila E Levi Seacer and Eric Leeds together in a band with the goat. Some of you likely have this if you follow me, and you can sit this one out.

It's also a lead in to the next drop which I hope people can catch

It's great stuff if you don't have it
