The vault doors swing wide – live, aftershow, and One Nite Alone… all in one box!

Prince says “It ain’t over” – and backs it up with 3 CDs of midnight gold!


Released exclusively to NPG Music Club members with shipping beginning November 24, 2002, Prince and the New Power Generation’s One Nite Alone... Live! was his first official live album — a 3CD box set also containing One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! and the previously club-only solo piano album One Nite Alone... (originally released May 14, 2002).

More purple vault keys turning weekly.

Released exclusively to NPG Music Club members with shipping beginning November 24, 2002, Prince And The New Power Generation’s One Nite Alone... Live! was his first official live album — a 3CD box set also containing One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! and the previously club-only solo piano album One Nite Alone... (originally released May 14, 2002). Capturing nine shows from eight venues on the One Nite Alone... Tour (March–April 2002), direct from Scottie Baldwin’s console, it featured the unreleased “Xenophobia” (different from promo sampler). Reissued in 2020 as part of Up All Nite With Prince 4CD+DVD box and individually on vinyl. A spiritual jazz-funk milestone.
