Prince - The Trojan Horse Aftershow 2CD Set (2001) CD-Rip / MP3

The much worshipped Small Club/Trojan Horse aftershow. Whether this deserves the praise and adulation heaped on it - I'm not so sure, however it is certainly a fantastic concert and a perfect soundboard recording. 'D.M.S.R.' features the guitar motif from 'America', and is performed over a completely different drum beat with synth snatches, which make it sound completely different.

The seemingly improvised 'People Without' (which was performed again at later aftershows in 1988) contains a small portion of Madhouse's 'Six', and 'Cold Sweat' features Sheila E's 'Transmississippirap'. My personal highlight from the show comes in the form of both 'Still Would Stand All Time' which is a far more personal and sexual song than the 'Graffiti Bridge' version would become, and a break-neck speed up tempo jam on 'Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic' which ends with the horn part from 'It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night'. Undoubtedly a stunning show, however if it were not for it being a soundboard recording it would not be as lauded as it is. Sabotage's decision to add the Lovesexy rehearsal is genius as it is an excellent and fascinating rehearsal containing some unusual performances.
