COMMENT
This release is a combined 2CD and 1DVD release by Sabotage focusing on the Musicology tour opening night's broadcast. I have listed the DVD separately, however they are one complete release. The DVD suffers from a few serious flaws, however I am more than happy to say the audio 2CD release is superb. It is not without some minor problems, but overall it is extremely high quality. As it is sourced from the video footage, it is clear and has benefited from some extra work with very powerful results. The crowd level is also slightly more audible on here, which adds a little more atmosphere to the recording. There is a strange 30 second passage as 'D.M.S.R.' begins where Sabotage have inserted a portion of the song from the MuchMoreMusic July 2004 performance. I'm slightly bemused about this as the problem is not on the video footage, however it is the only real minor gripe I have. Prince's performance is a little wooden and unadventurous to begin with, but he gets into his stride 20 minutes in and the show really takes off from there. "Testolini 1, Testolini 2". Whilst this is far from being an awe inspiring show it is above average and has some very nice moments, including a stunning acoustic set, and two lengthy versions of both '7' and 'Purple Rain'. The release comes in two packaging styles - either DVD case, or normal 4cd box. Stunning artwork accompanies both, and includes information on the AEG-TV simulcast. As a whole package this release (video and audio) is an excellent idea
