Prince — Summer of Eleven CD
A Rare 2011 Soundboard — Prince and Andy Allo at Their Most Intimate
Summer of Eleven captures Prince during a particularly special creative period — the summer of 2011, when his collaboration with singer-songwriter Andy Allo was at its most productive and their live performances together had a warmth and spontaneity that set them apart from anything else in his catalogue at the time.
What Makes This Recording Special
The acoustic versions alone justify this purchase. Guitar and Love Is A Losing Game both appear in intimate acoustic form with Andy Allo, stripping back the production and revealing the songs at their most direct. The full seventeen-track set moves between these quieter moments and full-band performances — Shhh running over seven minutes, a D.M.S.R. that stretches past six, an Alphabet St. extended to over thirteen minutes featuring The Cameroon by Andy Allo, and a Come Together that incorporates Missing My Love with Maceo Parker on saxophone.
Johnny B. Goode, Peach, Anotherloverholenyohead, Little Red Corvette, Flashlight, and Rock Lobster round out a setlist that covers multiple eras of Prince's live repertoire — all captured from a soundboard source that preserves the clarity and balance of the original performance.
