Description:

The second appearance at "Rock in Rio", a rock festival held irregularly in Brazil since 1985. After disbanding Revolution, with whom he had made some of his biggest hits in the 80's, including "Purple Rain" (1984), Prince released several albums under his own name, including the classic "Sign of the Times" (1987). After touring together for several years, the former members of Revolution completely left Prince's band after the "Nude Tour" in 1990 (the final show was held at Yokohama Stadium), and the New Power Generation was formed with the remaining new members. This is a recording of the second live performance by this new group at the second "Rock in Rio," a rock festival that has been held irregularly in Brazil since 1985. A truly legendary performance in South America. Prince performed at "Rock in Rio" on January 18 and 24 at the Maracanã, one of the world's largest soccer stadiums in Rio de Janeiro.Prince did not tour extensively in 1991, and this festival appearance in Brazil was his biggest show, but in addition to the content of the show, he also left behind various legends backstage. Prince finally appeared on stage at 11:15 p.m., two hours later than originally scheduled, but as it was his first South American tour (after all, he had only performed two shows in Brazil and one in Argentina in between), word of mouth among the audience was that expectations for this show were high. The mood at the venue was said to be very good. During the show, NPG played a solo piano part to accommodate their South American fans, keyboardist and vocalist Rosie Gaines covered Aretha Franklin, performed new songs to be released in the fall of this year while focusing on their best-known songs, and introduced rap music, which they had previously denied. The show was well-balanced, with a sense of NPG's unveiling. The encore included a 28-minute-long medley of "Baby I'm A Star" and other highlights of the show!
