Prince

In December 2000, Prince was riding high on the waves of creativity, having released 'The Rainbow Children' just earlier that year. This album marked a significant transition in his career, diverging into jazz and funk influences, showcasing a spiritual depth that was both refreshing and introspective. The live performance at Ruby Skye in San Francisco captures him in a dynamic phase, blending love for groove with a powerful message. Interestingly, this show emphasized his penchant for showcasing talented musicians, including John Blackwell on drums, highlighting how Prince always surrounded himself with top-tier artists. This era also reflected his fearless approach to live performances, where he often improvises and injects fresh energy into classics like 'Gett Off,' making each show an unforgettable experience.
