I'd like to issue this begging post to Prince and his people...

Please, please, please, PLEASE will you release a DVD of your 21 night stint in London. Just think of all those nice people who paid to come and see you, they're all still talking about how amazing you were, you're still getting column inches in the media - people are still wanting more - what better time to release it than now?!

So whaddayah say? huh? PLEEEEAAAAASSSSE?!

(Orgers, please feel free to co-sign or tag more begging notes to this thread!)

This is highly unlikely, if he was going to release a DVD there would have at least been a few nights filmed with more than 4 cameras. You can see from the footage that was posted on 3121 that its just not dynamic enough with 4 different views.

Just my opinion

Rubbish - the footage that was put on 3121.com was awesome, and there were cameras at a couple of the aftershows - certainly Prince will be thinking of this - his popularity in the UK, in particular London has gone through the roof, hailed, finally, as a genius and not a freak - he will want to consolidate that with some form of record of what was an amazing stint in London. If you think Prince is only interested in totally polished DVD's then just take one look at the Las Vegas DVD - hardly polished camera work - but still busting!

I think he will - there is some money to be made, and lots of people, not just us super-fans that will buy - I have heard some of the material from the aftershows, unoffcially available, and they sound awesome, imagine just a collection of the aftershow material in soundbaord quality from Prince himself it will blow 'It Aint Over' away - those aftershows were and are legendary!

Come on lil man - RELEASE IT!

Only seven and half weeks to Christmas - what a GREAT pressie that would be to myself!!!!

Not going to happen before this Xmas.

Heard from within the UK publishing business that ater a meeting with hsi PA and various publisher, the book ghe wante dto do was about his 21 nights in London, with 15-20K words written by Prince about his experience here in London, along with song lyrics and poetry and accompanying CD - no one went for it though as had not been thought thru enuff to make it happen for Xmas market! So looks like it won't happen now!

Chasing said:

But being a JW will he be bothered about releasing something to coincide specifically with the christmas market? Then again, I suppose the publishing and marketing people will be bothered... OK.. I just answered my own question... continue...

I understand that the concert is already available as I have seen it on a bootleg list. It's called 'The Long and Winding road' and it is a fan release.

Before anyway asks.....No I do not know where it is available.

if he's gona come back and tour as per 3121.com poll suggests.... i doubt it will released... as it'll b the same tour material/tracks/performances....
Having listened to SanFran Live trax (by accident!) the tracks and style are similar to the O2 run...

What u think peeps?

I would definetly buy a Prince 21 Nights DVD if he put it out, even though he's a bitch ass now

Your begging will likely be for naught. All of us at the former NPGmusicclub tried that with "Musicology", and we never got a dvd even though we know at least several of the shows were professionally filmed.
But that's just like the little guy...ignore the obvious concert dvd, then complain like hell when bootlegs show up everywhere....Will Prince never learn?

endorphinuk said:

Hmmm? SanFran live trax? What are you talking about?

Chasing said:

Do you know if the book will still happen in general?

Gohi said:

never knew there was filmed at the indigo...mmmmm

rafael said:

Eh?

I too would love an 02 concert dvd - much rather my money went to prince than to a bootlegger!

I hope its been filmed from the best section of the arena, the VIP ticket section, right behind the drum kit where I was put, might see abit of the back of his head every now and then and AEG can charge £250 for the DVD

The only one I've seen so far is filmed by someone who starts off around block 410 and a few seats back, but then has the good sense to move round to the front row of 403 after the first couple of songs and stays there for the rest of the concert. The zoom on their camcorder is pretty good, but it's quite shaky at times and occasionally the camera is hidden, presumably because of security. Still, the sound is ok throughout, although I'd had a few when I watched it and might have been dreaming.

Given the show was in the round (or at least, in the pointy symbol thing), anything other than the official DVD will inevitably be a bit pants, because of the fixed angle the view is from. Sooooo much better if there was an official one using the brilliant footage 3121 seems to have a bucket-load of.

Fingers and toes crossed then.
