1982 video pro-shot snippets: leaks or TV snippets?

1982/02/12 Los Angeles (4:14)

1982/03/07 Bloomington (0:50)

Could it be that these 2 short vids are from promotional TV snippets on local TV channels from back then or are just they odd leaks from the vault?

Many thanks 2 those who can help, it's for the discog smile

Is the Bloomington footage black and white, Because if it is it's just a clip Prince alowed to be included in a documentry about black rock guitarists.

I think it's a clip from The Second Coming movie, There's a thread on here about the guy who had the master film has just handed it back to Prince about a year or so ago and that's when this clip appeared

PS: Is the Los Angeles clip the Dance 2 The Beat cause if it is I think that's from the same source as all the City Lights stuff (I could be totally mistaken)

Wow now THAT's interesting biggrin biggrin

Bloomington is indeed in B&W, with WYWTSB. Do you know more about this documentary? When it was released? It's title? It would be deeply appreciated, thanks biggrin

I remember the thread about the Second Coming director but I don't remember any mention of that snippet. Was it mentionned in that particular thread with more info about the documentary in question?

And yes, the LA clip is Dance To The Beat. So that one is pure bootleg? How odd that if it's from the City Lights package only a snippet surfaced while everything else was full shows eek

Many thanks for your contribution biggrin

I've been killing myself trying to remember the name of that documentry but the trailer was on youtube and that's where the clip came from (also if I remember rightly their was a slightly extended clip, Which is probably the 50 second one on the movie website).

It had it's own thread but I think there was some linking back and forth because of the shared content. I remember the article from a magazine that kicked off the disscusion with four pictures from the shooting of the opening viginette to The second coming... I think it was MOJO magazine but I could be misstaken,

I'm at work now so sorry on the vague details but it's killing me trying to remember so will do a bit of research when I get home.

Always wondered why the full show from LA wasn't leaked..
