Wow...I'm very surprised there's people who r excited about this vintage vhs release. I find it rather offensive that they offer this as if it's the best thing ever. I was excited 2 receive an email with an update...until I saw what is was about...yawn confused



I'll bet only hardcore fans had already seen this so the ones that haven't are probably as flabergasted as we were when we first saw it!

I have it on VHS - but mine's not better quality. I guess I played mine too much. Besides, I don't have a VHS player anymore. This is good news for me.

Just out of curiosity - to the people who are obviously bored witless to the verge of being offended:

What would you like to see on LF?
Livesexy. The Detroit birthday show. The Automatic video in good quality. Let's Pretend We're Married.

I dunno...woulda be cool if we had been asked.

unreleased video footage that nobody has seen. promo videos like

a million days promo video
3121 documentary (which I think will be released on lotusflow3r for shizzle)
and many other concerts either professionally shot but never made available.


there is so much!

Sure - I'd like to see things like the Second Coming, the elusive 3121 movie and some previously unseen concerts in their entirety. But I'll have to put my foot down at the promo videos - for songs that most fans don't even rate (or even own)!

But for me there's one issue at the heart of this: The second it's upped, it's never again unseen. Never again special. It's just another P-Production in a long line of them...and possibly even a bad one at that, which in effect will become unseen again for all the wrong reasons.

I got it on dvd, laserdisc and various vhs tapes...even got the withdrawn cd. This wasn't the update from LF I have been waiting 4 since I joined the site. I bought those 14 years ago and sure they were something 2 b excited about back then..

What I would like 2 see overthere now?? Something that hasn't been seen or heard by any Prince fan. That way it'll b something new 2 enjoy 4 everyone...

It has been 4 sale on Amazon and Ebay since 1995...so it has been available 4 every fan, not just the hardcore fans?! eek

With all due respect Serpan, look around you - it's blatantly clear that not every fan/fam/orger/quaker/whatever possesses the same level of devotion as you. Not everybody has been in P-koo-koo-World since his fourth album, and there's a lot of catching up to do for many people (hell, I only took 6-7 years out, and as you know, I'm still catching up!!!) Frankly, I'm surprised that you're surprised that the undertaker surprised! wink

There will be something unseen sooner or later. What am I talking about? Had you already seen 1999 on Leno? Guitar on Leno? Shh/Come 2gether and Creep @ Coachella IN THAT QUALITY? Ok maybe not the hottest of unseen stuff - but generally unseen nevertheless!!! patience is a virtue...and there will be something that impresses The Serpan99 eventually! smile

What is it with Prince and rehash ?

This has been released commercially, we have already paid our money for it, it is still available to purchase at many websites...

Glad I've still got my $77 in my wallet.
Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now!

^download....may help (h)er

I was gonna rant - but its not worth it, just like the latest update.....2 months of nothing and he emails to tell us about this? damn, he really is out of touch....

and that site is still waaay too slow, takes me back in the day when all we had was dialup...I haven't been onto LF for probaby a month if not more...and with updates like this I no need to...

I'm happy for those who have never seen the clip/mini-movie BTW..but surely they are in the minority of 'LF users'

Some of yall are just letting your Prince pedigree get in the way of being happy for the thousands of fans who have not seen the video.

I have it... and I have a lot more. And so do many others. That just means there less new stuff for us to get. But contrary to popular belief, 'most' Prince fans do not have material like this.

Just be happy for them.


i agree that it's a nice addition for those people who have never seen it
before. so i'm not complaining.

but i've seen it before, i have it on vhs and somewhere on an old harddrive
and even the undertaker bootleg.

however, i think that most of the people who are still around today and are
willing to pay $77,- for his subscription site are the same people who were
around back in the day when this was released. and those younger have since
found a copy somewhere else, no doubt.

still, all that being said, it's nice to see it end up on the site. it sure
is better than another single mtv recorded promo for kiss or mountains etc.

here's to hoping that the next thing might actually be something no one has
seen before. that would be great.

until then, i still don't see any reason to even login to the site anymore lol
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

falloff
Why do I have to be "happy for them"?
I'm as happy for them as I am for the folks who paid their $77 to sit and watch the Raspberry Beret promo, the I Would Die 4 U promo, or the Kiss promo as paying members of Lotusflow3r.com.

The folks who haven't seen it have a right to cream their panties in excitement with their first viewing, as do the folks who creamed their panties last decade when it was made available to purchase. You like it? Cool. You are happy with being fed scraps from the table? Cool.

Let the folks who are happy say so. Let those who are not say so. Don't tell one group they should "be happy" for the other.

What does being happy or not for other people have to do with people's own (lack of) satisfaction?

Suggesting that we have a stake in the happiness of others suggests that what P. has in mind is actually building a community, which is the one thing that he seems to have carefully avoided with lf.

I am more excited about the email...that tells me that I don't have to check the site every other day to check for something new.

Seen it...

Looks like another wasted opportunity...man, this could have been huge.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

WORD this is just plain whack. Weren't some clips of this video released under the NPG Online LTD/NPGMC version 1 with the monthly updates?

Watch next month we'll get those concert clips from the Hit-n-Run 2000 tour and the Hot Wit U video rolleyes

I am happy for them, but I'm not sure I agree who the target audience is. There are of course thousands of more casual fans who have not seen the video, but do you think those same casual fans paid 77$ to join lotusflower?

I think it's exciting when they add new stuff, but seriously, WHATEVER...
I joined Lotusflow3r for tix.
I. Want. Tickets.
Hopefully, we members will have the advantage they promised.

Quit hatin' and enjoy the ride, people!
Good things come to those who wait.

well at least anyone who has never seen this should be happy cuz it is an awesome lil performance . I think it was included to go with the concept of this lotus project as being one of the three groups he is touring with this being the New Power Trio Edition
[Edited 5/22/09 15:34pm]


I think it's a good video. But I think anyone who paid 77 dollars for access to a Prince site, probably has seen it already. Nice addition though. IMO, he should put up all of the VHS videos...Gett Off, D&P, etc.

"Most" prince fans did not join the site. Only the most Hard Core did.
