Fink's Comments(rates this release 5.0/5.0)(MUST OWN!)
On a balmy evening on April 14, 2016, at Atlanta s Fox Theatre, an iconic musician approached the piano in what would become his final public performance. Prince, renowned for his electrifying full-band concerts, chose this time to captivate his audience with a stark, powerful setting of just Piano & A Microphone. This tour stripped his usual flamboyant spectacle down to its core a solitary artist and his instrument, revealing an intimate glimpse into the depths of his musical genius.

During his back-to-back performances that night, Prince traversed a spectrum of emotions, weaving through hits and deep cuts alike. Each note played was a testament to his prowess and a poignant reminder of his influence across the music landscape. However, underneath the surface of these mesmerizing performances, there were undercurrents of concern for his health. Just a week prior, the star's plane had to make an emergency landing where he was treated for what was reported as severe flu symptoms. Undeterred, Prince returned to the stage, showing resilience and dedication to his craft and fans.

The night of Prince's final performance at the Fox Theatre feels like just yesterday'a vivid, haunting memory for those who were there and even those who only later heard the recordings. The intimacy of the setting, with Prince's emotive voice echoing off the grand walls, underscored a profound feeling of witnessing something irreplaceable. His death a mere week later turned these memories into bittersweet treasures, snapshots of the last moments of a legend living and breathing his art.

Prince was not merely a musician; he was a once-in-a-generation artist whose immense skills transcended ordinary definitions of talent. His mastery was evident in his ability to play multiple instruments with virtuosic precision, compose all parts of his songs, and blend genres from funk to rock to R&B creating a sound that was unmistakably his own. His vocal range spanned a falsetto that could pierce through the densest arrangements to a deep, sultry tone that pulled at the heartstrings. Moreover, his performances were a high-octane spectacle of energy, charisma, and sexuality that challenged societal norms and influenced a plethora of artists across the musical spectrum. RIP PRINCE 4/21/2016.
