I cannot believe how many of you have quickly forgotten what a sham Lotusfailure.com is! You waited MONTHS for a crappy t-shirt, endured weeks of technical difficulties for snippets of previously released material, and he throws you a 13 minute bones and all is forgiven?



You should not let him off the hook that easily.

What a beautiful reinterpretation of LRC.

I want to see more!!! My God that was so good!!! Especially LRC

that made me miss seeing him live

Who's forgiven anything (or damned him as well?)? This is a disucssion on the new videos. Go have a beer...go have sex...go back to work..go..do something..especially log off.

jone70 said:

He's not off the hook, but I am encouraged by the activity.

I am NOT encouraged by the "Montreaux Jazz Festival" logo on the videos. That implies to me that Prince does not own the video. On the other hand, maybe that's a good thing, LOL.

I agree... even if the footage isn't "up to Prince's standards," I'm more than positive after seeing these two videos that they are up to our standars and Montreux's standards... so let's hope THEY release the UNEDITED DVD!

Until I get a refund.....there is NO getting off the hook.

Say what U want, but I'd much prefer a Coachella DVD.

Go watch "Creep" and "7/Come Together" again.

Just sayin'.

Especially since he teased us with the footage at the Conga Room show.

I'd get banned if I told you where I'd like you to go...

That was Awesome!!! It made my heart all fluttery

Thank you Prince.

Man...LRC is just gorgeous.

I have been a fan for many years and I have to say, some of this year's live footage has moved as much if not more than anything from his heyday.

LRC - Montreux
SHOE - Leno

He may not be as dynamic but the music...damn.

LOL

off the hook.....?

for myself-i'd at this stage prefer to try and be positive-for a change. Activity is a good sign afterall. Should we just poo poo everything now-no matter what it is because of the past-or mabey (with more work on their part)
TRY and salvage-hell mabey even enjoy whats left of the year

and

i think the 2 new vids are very very cool. Faultless guitar playing-and the sound...yummy.Great version of LRC. Brilliant even

just one thing-does he change the 'trojan and some of them used' ?

I thought he did-but didn't make out what to-if he did...



PS-and the buffering was alot less-i think only once or twice each tune-seemed alot quicker

What a good week. Finally got my t-shirt and now seeing this footage has given me hope for the site and dvd release. Thanks for doing this P, hope that the rest of that show, the oscar's party and the interactive concerts now go on lotusflow3r.

Isn't it funny how he can STILL do that even after we've been watching him for so long?!

I am glad you posted this. I do not want to turn this into a Prince vs MJ thing, but I was just in a heated debate (which I knew better than to participate in) about MJ's stunted growth as an artist. This was in response to the 2001 MSG concert that was on last night. I made a comment about the Billy Jean performance and other aspects of MJ's performance being repeated for 20 years, and since people know I like Prince, some were saying that Prince has been doing the same thing for 20 years too.

At that point, I should have just left it alone because I knew I was talking to people who didn't have a clue. However, one of my final statements was that Prince's shows have grown so much musically over the years that I it was foolish to even have the discussion. So, when I got home and saw LRC, it just confirmed everything that I was saying. The arrangement on this is beautiful, and P isn't running around the stage in that purple trench doing the same choreography from 1983.

Gosh, "Little Red Corvette" is such a sensual song. Love it! Love it! Do your thang Prince!

Now U know we usually agree, but U must know that I'm only basing it on what's on his Lotusflow3r site... "Creep", and "7/Come Together" as compared 2 "Little Red Corvette" and "When I Lay My Hands On U".

U can't even compare the guitar, and he's feeling it much more on the Coachella clips.

I haven't heard (nor seen) either one entirely.

Even non-members could download it for free on the npgmc-website.

Yes. But I prefer the marvelous version he played at coachella. I watch that footage everyday. I'm glad I downloaded it before it was pulled on youtube.
