Review: Essential reading for the discerning Prince collector - Prince spent his entire life recording music and playing live music. As well as the monumental amount of music he recorded in the studio, he also found time to perform a mind boggling amount of live shows. Literally thousands of shows were performed during his 37 year career, and luckily for his fans many of them were recorded in one way or another. But, this poses a huge problem... With so many shows recorded, and lot of those shows recorded by several different people using different sources and equipment, were on earth do you start?? Whether you are a life-long collector with thousands of bootlegs, or just a fan looking for critical or landmark live shows, this book is absolutely perfect. Hamish has somehow managed to distill 37 years worth of live shows into a list of 50 essential shows. 'Greatest' lists are always subjective, and this is NOT a top 50 list. It's deeper than that. The importance of a show is also weighted, and that makes for some interesting reading. This has been written with a passion, not just for Prince's music, but for music as a whole. Information is rich and detailed and I'm looking forward to revisiting some old boots and discovering one's I've passed over.
Review: It's all about the bootlegs. - Any serious Prince fan knows that it's all about the bootlegs. Not just of his big arena shows, but also the infamous aftershows that were the stuff of legend even before Prince died. But where to start? Here is where. From the early days when Prince was still pretty much an underground artist, through peak period to his very last shows weeks before his death, Hamish Whitta brings you reviews of them all where you can read and imagine being there yourself. You might even be lucky enough to listen along with the intelligent, impassioned descriptions of the shows!
