The April 30 performance, featuring Gwen Stefani of No Doubt and Nikka Costa, and the May 5 performance, marking Prince’s final collaboration with Whitney Houston, are now presented in a fully restored, high-quality stereo soundboard with the latest remaster! The series of performances known as the "21-Night Stand" at the LA Forum, also famously called the venue, saw each show with a different setlist and guest stars, making it one of the most spectacular performances of the 2011 "Welcome 2 America" tour, garnering attention with releases like the official video of the April 28 show. This release, "Fabulous 2 Nights," features two performances from the middle of the 21-night run: CD1 & 2 include the April 30 show. On this night, Gwen Stefani from No Doubt appeared for "SO FAR, SO PLEASED." Additionally, Nikka Costa delivered an intense rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “WHOLE LOTTA LOVE.” Following the emotional "PURPLE RAIN," Sheila E. joined in for a powerful funk medley starting with "SEXY DANCER," moving through Chic’s "LE FREAK," Wild Cherry's "PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC," and many more. The grand finale included a mix of guest appearances, culminating in The Time's "THE BIRD" and "JUNGLE LOVE," Sheila E.'s "A LOVE BIZARRE," and a thrilling medley. CD3 & 4 contain the May 5 show, which opens with Renato Neto’s smooth piano intro and majestic orchestration, leading into a medley of "THE LOVE WE MAKE," followed by Prince’s electrifying guitar in "SHHH." In "LET'S WORK," the phrase from Rick James' "GIVE IT TO ME BABY" is featured. During "MUSICOLOGY (inc. TIGHTEN UP)," Whitney Houston, who would pass away the following year, joins for a rare and emotional performance. Though her voice shows signs of decline in her later years, this is a precious live record of their final collaboration. Comedian Cedric the Entertainer makes an appearance during "RASPBERRY BERET," and the encore of "KISS" features LA duo J-Davis and dancer Celestina, known from the video "BLACK SWEAT." This is the complete and fully restored version, with previously edited parts now restored from alternate sources, and is the first appearance in a fully remastered, restored edition. It’s an unmissable release from Prince’s 2011 “Welcome 2 America - 21-Night Stand” performances! Highly recommended as the second release of the best performances from the tour!
