Coachella 2008

exist of the cachella performance from the year 2008 synonymous videos that are not too dark? all available videos are far too dark, why? Is this a joke or did the producers make a mistake? For me it is one of the best concerts of this time besides the Montreux performances and it is a shame that there is no corresponding video material. The settings of the dark videos prove that there is a professional recording - but is it synonymous in bright?

This chef talks about watching the Coachella show with Prince, so must be reasonable quality.

My only break was the three days he played Coachella. When he got back to the house afterwards, he said, “Where were you? I thought you’d be backstage.”

I explained that his assistants had said I couldn’t come, and he said, “We’ll fix that.”

He led me downstairs to the private theater and together the two of us watched the playback of the whole show. He told me what an idiot the sound guy was, and how the police told him to stop but he played five more songs anyway.

You can see the in-house video on the large screens behind him.

The entire video of the performance was re-shown at Coachella 2016.

He seemed a bit strange to me in that performance. Idk what it is, just a weird vibe coming from him that I can't explain. He was great tho, just acting differently or something, idk.
It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN

I just read reviews of Coachella. Prince came on a bit late 11;10 instead of 10:45. Coachella had some weird curvew thing where the main stage wasn't supposed to be too loud after midnight, due to surrounding homes, even though acts were playing until 2 am on other stages. So instead of keeping the volume the same for PRince (as everyone else) until they couldn't anymore, they turned him down through the whole set, so the sound was kind of shit for him but no one else. I think the better decision may have been to keep the sound at its normal volume until 12 and then explain that they will have to turn it down due to the curfew for the later part of the performance. Or they could have just left it loud the whole time. HIs set wasn't that long and I don't think the curfew was taken that seriously (Prince played five extra songs even though the cops told him to stop..he wasn't forced to stop or fined.) . So, surrounding homes will have to have loud music until 12:30 instead of 12..Big whoop. Its not like Prince did a three hour jam session.

He should have been on time but in his defense..he had the Time and Sheila and himself to get set up. Maybe it couldn't have been helped or some mishap happened. Accidents happen. The sound guy was in a tricky spot..but I don't think turning Prince down the whole set was a good idea.
