Prince - Live at Paisley Park [December 31 1987]

Anyone know about this concert? Its mostly Sign O The Times, but it seems to be filmed pretty well (ie not bootleg) and is a pretty good performance, more live sounding than the official SOTT film. 'If I Was Your Girlfriend' is particularly good.

More info is good info smile

I just watched this performance last night. Fantastic show. It was professionally filmed so I was wondering was there any intention to release this show officially?

I know one of these crazy org memebers knows more about this, they just aint reading thread!

How does a thread about Mayte (who gives a sh*t?) get more reads than this? wink

Well, I know that it was filmed at Paisley on New Year's Eve, 1987. And I know Miles Davis was in the house and played on a few tracks...I don't know if he's on the video or not, but he's on the audio boot.

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Very good quality pressed DVD of this was released last year on Global Funkschool.
"Miles From The Park". Definitely worth picking up.

God, I love this fucking concert! My favorite Orger gave me a VHS copy. I was just watching it yesterday. The 1/2-hour long jam on "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night" is absolutely euphoric. Prince was at the absolute top of his game and he knew it "People, tell me I ain't got the funkiest band in show business! You can't fuck with us!"

Can you beat Miles Davis up on stage with the SOTT band, Miles improv-ing on his trumpet and Prince scatting the notes back to him? drooling No, you can't.
