PRINCE – Australia 2012 (5CD)

Audience 9.5 – Yes, this is all audience recordings but the quality is impeccable. The guitar is simply SUPREMELY badass, if you are on the fence about Prince, do yourself a favor and dive into this one because no matter what your bias might be about the man, you can’t deny the power and finesse that this music demonstrates. Just a wonderful testament to how brilliant and masterful Prince was on stage.
