One Nite Alone... Live! is Prince’s first live album, credited to Prince and the New Power Generation (the first album to receive that credit since 1992’s ). It was available for purchase only as part of a 3CD box-set also including One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! (the NPG Music Club edition also included a copy of One Nite Alone..., which had previously been released through the club separately). On 29 May 2020, The Prince Estate re-released the album with Sony’s Legacy Recordings on vinyl (individually) and a 4CD+DVD box set called Up All Nite With Prince: The One Nite Alone Collection. The box-set includes a new packaging and design by Sam Jennings, the One Nite Alone... and One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! albums as well as the Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas DVD (The Rainbow Children, One Nite Alone... and One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! were also re-released on vinyl individually on the same day). The CD is the first audio document of Prince’s concerts and includes tracks from nine different shows from eight venues on the One Nite Alone... Tour. The tracklist is fairly representative of a typical night’s show on the tour, although it misses the number of cover versions performed regularly on the tour (such as A Case Of You, Love Rollercoaster, La-La Means I Love You and Sing A Simple Song), leaving only Prince compositions. The live tracks included on the release covered a large portion of Prince’s career. Six of the album’s 27 tracks were originally on The Rainbow Children. Two tracks were originally on One Nite Alone..., released six months earlier. The majority of tracks were originally from Prince’s studio albums between 1979 and 1999. One track, Xenophobia, had not previously been released in any form, other than as a different live version on the One Nite Alone... Live Sampler promo made available a few months previously. The audio was recorded directly from the mix console of Prince’s long time sound engineer, Scottie Baldwin. Track listing CD Digital The compact disc version is the original issue.
