COMMENT

A brilliant release. The first concert from Paisley Park is the unedited 'Beautiful Experience' broadcast. This is the complete concert and includes the performances from when the camera's were not rolling. Ironically some of the best material was performed when the camera's were off, including a stunning, lengthy and extremely funny jam on both 'Peak The Technique' and 'None Of Your Business'. The 2nd show is from P's birthday concert (although the show actually started after midnight on June 8th) in 1995. This is an incomplete version of the show, however the complete version is only circulating as an audience recording - this incomplete version is SB. The show features a rare performance of 'Return Of The Bump Squad' which has some mean bass playing. The show is extremely similar to the first half of the recently completed Gold Experience Tour and features little in terms of improvisation. Overall this is an excellent release of 2 soundboard shows from the Gold era.
