Taken from the highlights of 9 different shows in March and April of 2002 and clocking in at over 2 hours, the resulting 4 LP collection One Nite Alone…Live! was the first official live album of Prince's career and the 27 tracks included feature selections from The Rainbow Children as well as Prince's extensive back catalog, played with the full NPG as well as several solo piano excursions ("When U Were Mine", "Raspberry Beret", "Adore," "The Beautiful Ones", "Nothing Compares 2 U"). Member Laminates can also b given 2 members at the start of the show. Bring a photo ID and u will b checked off a complete member list and given a special Members Laminate (a different one in each city). Members at the time included drummer John Blackwell, keyboardist Renato Neto and longtime collaborators like bassist Rhonda Smith and a horn section that included saxophonists Eric Leeds, Candy Dulfer and Maceo Parker. On the night of the show u r attending, get 2 the venue by 5:30 PM. The album was released in 2002 but many of the tracks were new arrangements of songs dating from more than 20 years earlier.
The title track offers the most of the bunch, with its beautiful piano runs and haunting melody. One Nite Alone is the piano companion to 1997s largely acoustic The Truth. The 10 tracks included foster a melancholy, subdued mood through their 34 minutes. However, as opposed to the intimacy of the largely solo One Nite Alone… album, this upbeat trek through theaters in North America featured the full talents of Prince's ever-expanding New Power Generation band. Live is a live album box set by Prince and The New Power Generation, containing live recordings from the intimate One Nite Alone. One Nite Alone was the crown jewel of the NPGMCs releases.
