AfterThe Rainbow Childrenrelease and before the release of theOne Nite Alonestudio album, Prince embarked on a tour of the same name. However, as opposed to the intimacy of the largely soloOne Nite Alonealbum, this upbeat trek through theaters in North America featured the full talents of Princes ever-expanding New Power Generation band. Members at the time included drummer John Blackwell, keyboardist Renato Neto and longtime collaborators like bassist Rhonda Smith and a horn section that included saxophonists Eric Leeds, Candy Dulfer and Maceo Parker. Taken from the highlights of 9 different shows in March and April of 2002 and clocking in at over 2 hours, the resulting 4 LP collectionOne Nite AloneLive!was the first official live album of Princes career and the 27 tracks included feature selections fromThe Rainbow Childrenas well as Princes extensive back catalog, played with the full NPG as well as several solo piano excursions (When U Were Mine, Raspberry Beret, Adore, The Beautiful Ones, Nothing Compares 2 U). This release marks the first time that its available on vinyl.
