Believe it when I see it but I'm all for a P concert in 3D!! Throw in some extras, bluray audio of some studio recordings!! DO IT!!! Folks some of the 3d stuff looks good even without the glasses. Bluray/3d and Bluray-audio is in the now. The system I have can upscale regular films to 3d and I got to say! I'm impressed watching "Sign o the Times" upscale 3d. Gimmick?? Nah. Reselling CDS remastered is long past but Prince bluray audio!! 5.1 or 7.1! 3d!! YEAH PURPLE NERDS!!!!!

From what I can gather, these rumours suggest a release for theatres, it's not mentioned a release for the home video market.....yet.

This sounds really cool and like a smart move by Prince...

... which means it probably won't happen.

I see.

Prince plans to give a big concert at the foot of the Eiffel Tower on the evening of July 14 . An initiative that has not yet been validated by the town hall and the prefecture but that would be a real event for the National Day .

Prince has such a love of Paris and France that he wants to even give a free concert at the foot of the Eiffel Tower on the day of National Day, July 14. This is what we found Le Parisien in its edition today.The singer launched the idea, even a formal request has been sent to the town hall of seventh district, where are the Eiffel Tower and the Champs de Mars lawn that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators. Police headquarters says his side have not yet received any application for authorization.

After the Grand Palace two years ago, so this is another amazing place in the capital on which Prince has set his sights for occur before the French public. The Kid of Minneapolis has to rely on sponsors to fund the project. This is to save money in these times of crisis that the Presidency of the Republic had waived organize great free concerts at the foot of the Eiffel Tower on the occasion of July 14. Johnny Hallyday is the latest in 2009.

Last year it was at the initiative of SOS Racism a big show together several artists as Yannick Noah, or Benabar Nolwenn Leroy was organized. Prince announces that he will donate all profits to UNICEF. Intentioned but that one wonders where it will draw potential benefits seen that the concert is supposed to be free.

If the event is confirmed, Paris will then have two American stars live this July 14th. Madonna will indeed be on stage at the Stade de France this evening. A veritable fireworks display of the capital!

It wouldn't conflict with Madonna for simple reasons:

(1) Paris is a big friggin city with lots of friggin people.

(2) If Madonna's I assume will be at an arena or concert hall or whatever, Prince will be at a public space.

(3) it'll be free. People like free stuff.

If this shit did reach theatres, wouldn't this be his first theatrically-released concert movie since SOTT? Or am I missing something here?

Yes it would.

I'm all for good causes and if this concert actually happens then that's good. I would however, not be holding ones breath for a concert film.

What I wonder is if the concert does happen, will any distributor want to distribute the movie? Oh God imagine if he tried to distribute it himself. Opening next week in Detroit, opening in L.A. 3 Christmases later.

If anything, if he had foresight, he should consider the possibility of just releasing this straight to DVD, but for 3-D TVs/playback machines if nobody is willing to distribute it. Who's done that yet for concerts? But I would only consider that as a consequential follow-up to the theatrical release, and not as an alternative to theatrical distribution.
