Introducing NPG
THE COMPLETE RIO DE JANEIRO PERFORMANCE FROM 1991 Without equal in the music industry, Prince will forever be remembered as a wholly unique talent who belittled definition and defied categorisation. From his 1978 debut album For You - on which he played all the instruments - to his unexpected and tragically premature death in April 2016, the man born Prince Rogers Nelson stunned the world with his extraordinary musicianship, his compositional excellence and his skilled performances, which surpassed those of any other pop artist of recent times. Having released 39 studio albums during his career which culminated in sales exceeding 100 million copies, and earning seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, an Oscar and entry into in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Prince still remained way above the gongs and baubles of celebrity, and had sufficient self-belief and the confidence to know himself what was worthy. The early 1990s marked one of many major stylistic shifts in Princes career. Having parted ways with long-time backing band The Revolution in 1986 and released a number of albums as a solo artist, Prince put together a new group: The New Power Generation. The band featured Rosie Gaines on keyboards and vocals, Michael B. on drums, Sonny T. on bass, Levi Seacer, Jr. on guitar, Tommy Barbarella on keyboards and the Game Boyz - a trio of dancers, vocalists/rappers and percussionists. Their first album together, Diamonds And Pearls, was released on 1st October 1991, eventually going double Platinum in the United States. At the beginning of the same year, Prince and his band were invited to play two dates as part of Rock In Rio 2, the second edition of the Brazilian-based music festival, the largest in the world. The recording featured here comes from Princes first appearance at the event, when he headlined proceedings on Friday 18th January. The result, presented here across over two discs, is perhaps one of the finest shows in musical history. With the crowd in the palm of his hand throughout, Prince put on a quite superlative performance, as thrilling as ever, and featured such legendary tracks as Purple Rain, Kiss, Nothing Compares 2 U and a staggering 28 minutes medley of Baby Im A Star. Surprisingly given the mans stature, he allows his co-vocalist Rosie Gaines to take lead duties on a couple of Aretha Franklin covers. Captured here in the highest available quality, the entire performance remains a poignant reminder of what an immense talent the world has lost. TRACKLIST DISC ONE 1.
