Summary: I love this video!!!
Comment: This is the video that made me fall in love with Prince. This is truly Prince at his most creative, most entertaining, most musically cohesive. I think this video is a great starting point for anyone curious about Prince's music. His live performances add another level to his music and this video captures that. My only regret is that I didn't get the DVD. My advice is to get this and watch it over and over again. It gets better with every viewing.

Summary: Awesome concert
Comment: I'm not the biggest Prince fan, but I believe he's very talented and I do own some of his music/video and do enjoy most of his work.
But this concert video is just awesome. A mix of rock, jazz, blues and James Brown/Little Richard influences makes this something to own - even if you're not a big fan.
But I'll be you will be after seeing this. You won't be able to stop appreciating his talent as this is a high energy/sexy/funky experience.
This guy gets it.
By the way - order the DVD from Amazon.com Canada. I did and the quality is excellent.
Go to the "Canada" link at the bottom of the page. No big deal paying for it - Amazon accepts your US credit card and does the Canadian money conversion and you get billed the same way you do for US purchases.
VHS doesn't last forever - don't waste money on a VHS in a DVD world.
Enjoy!

Summary: A Must See!
Comment: This video shows what Prince can do when he has just the right musicians on stage with him. The songs come from the album of the same name and they are all very well done. Each song is very well performed and staged as only Prince can do. The concert concludes with an amazing version of "Gonna Be A Beautiful Night" that allows the other members of the band a chance to show the world what they can do. This is a must for Prince fans because it is the last chance that you get to see him before he really got a bit on the strange side. My only regret is that this never made it to DVD.

Summary: Prince is Brilliant!
Comment: I've been a Prince fan for years and came across this on cable about two weeks ago for the first time. Amazingly brilliant vocals/guitar work/creative performance by Prince, and Shelia E. was awesome on drums, really fun. I went to my local mall the following morning obssessed with buying anything Prince. Unfortunately my Sign O' the Times cassette from back in the day is worn out and I had to special order it on CD...Still waiting! I forgot what an awesome album it is! I highly recommend this VHS (don't know anything about the DVD version, sorry).

Summary: Words cannot describe it!
Comment: Who cares how long it took..? Actually I do, and so do plenty of others it seems - it's at sales rank position 73 on 22 June 2005 and apparently still rising! Still, here it is at long last.On a technical level, the DVD surpasses all expectations. Audio and image are crystal clear which is particularly amazing for something recorded almost 20 years ago now. If you ever had this on tape you will be amazed. As other reviewers have said, the picture quality for You Got The Look is indeed the dreadful exception but you get the promo video for the single, not live footage, plus it is meant to be a "dream sequence" and I think was inferior on the original VHS edition of the movie. The audio for the track is however of the same quality of the rest of the DVD and great to listen to with its extended intro.
As for the live performances of Prince and his entourage, be in no doubt that this is the best you will ever get, and that's pretty near perfect. The arrangements of the songs taken from the album are in many ways better than on the album itself, particularly "Gonna Be A Beautiful Night" which is far more energised than the album version as recorded in Paris, "Hot Thing" with its fantastic extended organ intro, "Forever In My Life" with its wonderful warm up and much improved "gospel" backing, and "I Could Never Take The Place..." which is just Prince at his absolute best. Overall of course there are no duds here at all - I just thought I should mention my favourites.
Be in no doubt - whether you bought this on tape the first time or are diving into Prince's back catalogue to understand what the fuss was all about in the 80's, you really should buy this DVD.
