Hit: 5 Stars

Disc One
1. Rainbow Children : a great studio tune made awe-inspiring live. The playing is superb.
2. Muse 2 The Pharaoh : one of my faves from The Rainbow Children, this track kicks up live and gets a little bit more funky. One of Disc One's highlights.
3. Xenophobia : a great NEW track! Epic instrumental jam with jazz stylings; yet again, awesome playing.
4. Extraordinary : Love this ballad. Great, old school type 6/8 falsetto ballad. Beautiful.
5. Mellow : The title says it all. But not in a bad way! A great groove track from Rainbow Children.
6. 1+1+1 is 3 : another Rainbow Children track, this one funks it up a bit; an instant Prince classic turned up live.
7. The Other Side Of The Pillow : an awesome bluesy track from the acoustic album The Truth; sounds very B.B. King-ish live, which makes it even better.
8. Strange Relationship : this blows the original out of the water; the groove is tighter and the song just is HUGE!
9. When U Were Mine : like the latter, this crushes the original. This is one of the best tracks in the entire Box Set.
10. Avalanche : a great song fighting racism; the message makes the song even more intense emotionally.

Disc Two
1. Family Name : a great James Brown type of funk/soul track from Rainbow Children. Gotta love it. Prince at his best.
2. Take Me With U : the FULL VERSION live! Gotta love it. The arrangement features very cool starts and stops and slides right into...
3. Raspberry Beret : wow. Just wow.
4. Everlasting Now : another GREAT funk tune from Rainbow Children album; the best track live from that album easily.
5. One Nite Alone... : the so-called title track? It's only about a minute-and-a-half long, but it has a cool vibe; more like an interlude than anything.
6. Adore : AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. Prince, a piano, the crowd, humor, sex, love, passion. AMAZING.
7. Eye Wanna B Ur Lover : another piano tune that sounds VERY cool; don't get me wrong, I love the original, but this allows Prince's voice and musical talent to shine!
8. Do Me, Baby : the crowd sings most of it, which is pretty awesome. Prince can tear it up on the piano.
9. Condition of the Heart (interlude) : it's an interlude! However, it is very graceful and pretty.
10. Diamonds & Pearls : No Rosie Gaines, only one verse. Still a great moment.
11. The Beautiful Ones : Classic! Rarely performed live, it's just Prince and the piano, another amazing staple on Disc Two.
12. Nothing Compares 2 U : the best version yet! GREAT!
13. Free : an overlooked gem from 1999 that really shines live.
14. Starfish & Coffee : a short segment, but a crowd-pleaser nonetheless
15. Sometimes It Snows In April : absolutely awe-inspiring. Probably the rarest track on this collection, this tune is actually a tearjerker.
16. How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore : a B-side with PIZAZZ! Live, the full band crushes it! One of the highlights of the Box Set.
17. Anna Stesia : hands down the best track in the set. Overlooked on Lovesexy, this song actually makes me feel good after listening to it. I actually bought the box set during a bad week, and this song gave me a great outlook. The emotion is only hightened by the music. It's total bliss. Prince lives.

Disc Three
1. Joy In Repetition : a cool funk jam.
2. We Do This : great to hear George Clinton on here! Prince and band at their best, as usual.
3. Medley: Just Friends (Sunny)/If You Want Me To Stay : very interesting to hear a new voice over Prince and his band; a smooth R&B medley sure to please.
4. 2 Nigs United 4 West Compton : funky gem from the rare Black Album. Prince workin' it into the wee hours.
5. Alphabet St. : much more uptempo than the original, gets the crowd goin!
6. Peach (xtended jam) : much bluesier and cleaner than the original; the extended jam is over ten minutes, great playing.
7. Dorothy Parker : a more evolved version of the original "Ballad Of..." Gotta love it.
8. Girls & Boys : another funky soul treat.
9. The Everlasting Now (vamp) : a very short faded vamp of the song that ends a great album on the right note!
