Comparing this to the archival release Piano & A Microphone 1983 - which contains a similar format, plus another cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" - is instructive, as the earlier recording feels intimate and relaxed this just feels disparate, as if Prince was working through his ideas and demons in hopes of getting somewhere better. The first CD features the One Nite Alone studio album, originally released in 2002 the second and third CDs. The album was released in 2002 but many of the tracks were new arrangements of songs dating from more than 20 years earlier. The band doesn't support Prince on One Nite Alone…(Solo Piano and Voice by Prince), but the half-hour collection feels scattered and unfocused, as if Prince was writing the songs as he was singing them. Live is a live album box set by Prince and The New Power Generation, containing live recordings from the intimate One Nite Alone. Here, the older tunes are sometimes turned inside out - the original structure to "Girls & Boys" is treated like a suggestion, "Alphabet Street" is hurried through at double time - which makes it an interesting listen, even if the flashy professionalism of NPG manages to be a bit exhausting. The 5-CD box set Up All Nite With Prince: The One Nite Alone Collection rounds up the titular studio album (Princes intimate follow-up to The Rainbow. (Solo Piano and Voice By Prince) (LP) Limited Edition, Vinyl Record, 0190759354216, Tracklist A1 One Nite Alone. The intimate and stripped down format of the shows. The release was accompanied by a separately cased CD The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over as well as a presentational picture booklet documenting the tour.
These problems are lessened on One Nite Alone…The Aftershow, where Prince intentionally pushes New Power Generation - along with guests George Clinton and Musiq Soulchild - into carnal territory. Live was released as a double album packaged in a piano shaped box-set and credited to Prince & the New Power Generation.
