Does Zapp and The Time's performances from the Controversy Tour exist on video? Not asking for bootlegs on this site. I'm just curious because I never heard of this footage, if it does exist. | |

I won't be surprised if it does exist but, if so it's locked in the vault. | |

According to a Time fansite:
14.02.1982 • Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, CA • [bootleg info]
Then there's the two gigs they did at the Roxy in L.A. in bewteen the Controversey & 1999 tours:
Other then the Live at The Roxy gigs, I didn't even know there's video for the gigs above exist. The 1st Avenue gig is a Prince gig and there's video for that ?!

Apparently part of the 2/16/82 performance was on YouTube at some point: http://prince.org/msg/5/192831 | |

There's an FM broadcast from Europe circulating, but it doesn't have the Dance 2 The Beat part with Prince. The audio on the video itself for the two gigs sound horrible. Now if I can only learn how to replace it with the FM recording, I'd be set. | |

moderatorI saw Zapp and THe Time on the Controversy tour from the front roqw - back when festival seating was permitted in arenas. It was my first Prince gig. I remember taking pictures and being the only one with a camera in the place (today, everyone in the house has a camera phone recording the show). I thought Zapp would never stop playing - I recall Roger just being over the top. I remember how white Prince's boots were and how cool Dez ad Morris Day looked to me then. Lisa and Bobby Z looked sleazy just like the photos on the record covers.
What a great video if this tour was capture on pro shot film...hmmm...I watch it every few months to go back to my younger days. | |

There is very good pro-shot footage of a Prince set from this tour, but I don't think there is any footage of The Time and/or Zapp in circulation.

Video footage seems to be from 3(?) different cameras, with some very nice close up shots.
