Comments
Deane's Comments (rates this release 4/5.0)
An excellent document of the summer 1998 tour.

Dale's Comments  (rates this release 3.75/5.0)
I prefer All Access to this release, but this is still an excellent release with a couple of gems on it.

Mike's Comments  (rates this release 4.25/5.0)
An excellent bootleg, and my pick of the first European tour of 1998 (All access would be my pick of the second). The Stockholm concert is superb; Prince seems to have enjoyed himself immensely and his enthusiasm is reflected in a fine performance. The Hippodrome aftershow is also a cut above, and is noteable for including 'The war' (which eventually becomes a jam). The remaining bonus tracks round up some of the more interesting rarities from the tour - a manic version of 'Mad' being one highlight, Prince's duet with Chaka Khan on 'I feel for you' another - and are the icing on the cake. This set should not be overlooked.
