Prince has a rather expensive 3 cd set out called One Night Alone- Live. Can anyone vouch for it, either good or bad?

I like it a lot. Very hot band, exciting performances. It's a very good representation of the live show from what I can tell.

I've been curious about this one also, but in all the years it's been out, I've never seen it at a reasonable price.

It is very expensive. Essentially, I bought it because I was desperate for some live Prince and this appeared to be the best option out there. I don't know if it is worth the price in general but I've never had second thoughts about buying it.

Fererico- Musically, it it uptempo, slow, or both?

It's a good combination. The actual two-disc set is sort of pop song oriented. Not many of the hits (some though) but all the songs are very well-played. There are 17 songs or interludes on the second disc so that should tell you there is not much stretching out. The nasty funky longer stuff comes on the third disc - the "Aftershow." The set as a whole gives a good sense of Prince's range.

I'll vouch for the quality of Prince's "One Nite Alone...Live!". There's a good mix of uptempo and downtempo songs and they are all played very well. Many of the songs on the first two discs come from "The Rainbow Children" CD which came out in the fall of 2001 (and a couple of songs which hasn't appeared on any Prince CD to date; "Xenophobia" and "Avalanche"). The jams on the third disc are all great too (think of it as the "Party after the concert" that Prince has become known for). If the price of the set is a problem, try getting it from one of Amazon's Z-Shops or from Half.Com.
