PRINCE - Rock In Rio - Vol. 1 (LP)

In 1991 Prince and The NPG were invited to play two dates as part of Rock In Rio 2, the second edition of the Brazilian-based music festival, the largest in the world. The result, presented here across over two instalments, is perhaps one of the finest shows in musical history. With the crowd in the palm of his hand throughout, Prince put on a quite superlative performance, as thrilling as ever, and featured such legendary tracks as ‘Purple Rain’, ‘Kiss’, ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ and a staggering 28 minutes medley of ‘Baby I’m A Star’. Captured here in the highest available quality, the entire performance remains a poignant reminder of what an immense talent the world has lost
