Because the performance is great!
We see the lousy quality, yell at the TV, bitch about it here on the Org, get it all out of our systems...then we're ready to watch it again after we have accepted the fact that this was the way it was released & there's nothing we can do to change it now.

Because it's not that bad!! I know that that may sound silly to some of the experts on the technical aspects of DVD, and those that are never satisfied with anything that Prince does lately, but it is quite enjoyable. It's Prince in concert after all, a ONA show to boot, so it really isn't as bad as many here are making it out to be. Hell, 1+1+1=3, Got a broken heart again, and Whole Lotta love alone are worth what I paid for it. And yeah, it could have been a complete show, but it isn't. It could have had 5.1 & DTS and bonus Aftershow footage ,and blah, blah,blah but it doesnt. Take it for what it is.

Umm probably because YOU like it? Why cant everyone have a diverse opinion on it? I enjoyed it but I can understand and relate to why people dont dig it. Just cause someone doesnt dig it, doesnt mean its a negative response.. I am GLAD to see a mixture of opinions, and not some fake ass posts about how Prince cant do wrong.

The way that it seems cruel makes it unfunny for me. But let me say that I don't follow Ozzy's life, and he may have started this with an unkind remark about Prince.

That's true, Max but that would seem really juvenile to me. Ozzy is a very sad character and nothing about him is funny.

OK even I find complaining about the content of teh DVD alittle strange.

Complaining about the Club not meeting what they are meant to do is one thing, complaining about a DVD which,judging by the advertised tracklist, is quite obviously not a whole show is another thing entirely. Granted it is a little starnge that the show has been cut up and is not the whole thing...but then nobody had to buy it and the extremely short tracklist has never been a secret.

I don't see what the problems are with the DVD. People were complaining about the lines in one section of the DVD, but to me that was part of the imagery. It was made to look old and outdated due to the song "Family Name" and it's meaning. If you notice those lines are only in that part of the DVD to create a image regarding history.

I am not denying anyone their opinions. Where do you see me say that? Attack someone else

Hey PurpleLove...I remember how distraught you were when the ONA stop in Florida went from being 3 shows (with one in Miami) to just the one in Lakeland. I wish you coulda been there too.

Hopefully this next tour he'll get a little farther south for ya! wink
