Review by Luke Galutia

Prince – 1999live1983 Live Rehearsals: A Time Capsule of Raw Energy If you’re a Prince fan, this album is like finding an old mixtape in the backseat of your car—scratched up but full of soul. 1999live1983 Live Rehearsals isn’t just another live release; it’s a peek behind the velvet curtain at what made Prince and his band tick before they hit the big stage. Released in 2018 via Purple Gold Archives (shoutout to Japan for keeping the vault alive), this collection dives deep into funk, electronic vibes, and that smooth-as-hell Contemporary R&B style we all know and love. The setlist reads like a greatest hits playlist from an alternate universe where rehearsals are as legendary as concerts. Tracks like “Little Red Corvette” and “D.M.S.R.” shine here—not because they're perfect, but because they’re messy, raw, and dripping with attitude. You can hear every squeak of the keyboard pedals, every offbeat laugh, every moment when Prince decides to stretch out a note until it feels infinite. It’s not polished—it’s real. Let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck with me. First up, “International Lover.” Oh man, this one slaps harder than I expected. There’s something magical about hearing Prince croon without overthinking it. The way he toys with the mic, teasing out those high notes like he owns gravity itself—it’s intimate, almost too personal. Like walking in on him whispering secrets to himself in the mirror. And then there’s the bassline during “Lady Cab Driver,” which hits so hard it might as well be its own character. That groove? Pure hypnotism. By the time the synths kick in, you’ll forget you’re listening to a rehearsal tape—you’ll think you’re at Studio 54 or some secret after-hours spot no one else knows about. What makes this album special ain’t just the music—it’s the vibe. Listening feels like eavesdropping on genius mid-flow. You catch snippets of banter between songs, little mistakes turned into gold by sheer force of charisma. At points, it sounds like even Prince didn’t know how good he was. He wasn’t trying to prove anything here—he was just being Prince. And honestly? That’s kinda rare these days. In a world obsessed with perfection, 1999live1983 reminds us that sometimes the magic happens when nobody’s watching. Or maybe when everyone should’ve been watching. So yeah, if you wanna hear Prince unfiltered, untamed, and unbothered, grab this record. Just don’t blame me if you end up staring at your speakers wondering why modern music doesn’t slap like this anymore. Also… who knew rehearsals could sound better than most studio albums? Go figure.
