Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas is Prince’s 16th home video release and his sixth live concert issued on home video format.

The performance was recorded on 15 December 2002 at the Aladdin Theatre for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

The DVD features an edited version of the concert, blending Prince’s own catalogue with several covers and extended arrangements.

Special guests include long‑time collaborators Eric Leeds and Sheila E., along with 2002 touring band regulars Maceo Parker and Greg Boyer, plus guest vocalist Nikka Costa.

The audio was recorded directly from the mix console by Prince’s long‑time sound engineer Scottie Baldwin.

In 2020, The Prince Estate re‑released the show as part of the Up All Nite With Prince: The One Nite Alone Collection, packaged as a 4CD+DVD box set.

The concert captures Prince during the One Nite Alone… era, performing a mixture of deep catalogue cuts, re‑arranged classics, and funk‑driven improvisations.

The setlist moves between intimate piano‑led moments, high‑energy horn‑driven funk, and extended jams featuring guest musicians. The show concludes with a bonus performance of “The Ride”, included as an additional clip on the DVD.

Recorded live at the Aladdin Theatre for the Performing Arts, Las Vegas, Nevada (15 December 2002). Audio sourced directly from Scottie Baldwin’s console mix. Edited for home video release. Reissued in 2020 as part of Up All Nite With Prince: The One Nite Alone Collection.
