First report on Rave 2000 screening at Paisley Park

The gates were open when we arrived around 11:00, and there were one or two other cars waiting. There was little indication from inside that anything would be happening, but we waited around on the off-chance. Around 12:30 (I think), a bodyguard came out the back door and waved us in. (there were about 8 cars at this point. After the routine pat-town/molestation we were let into the Love4Oneanother room, where the usual refreshments were waiting. The stage wasn't set up, though we noted that the video screen was in place, suspended in front of the large, hanging symbol.



After about a half hour of hip-hop, etc. over the system, a VCR was setup, and the screen was unfurled. What followed was the Rave Un2 the Year 2000 concert, presumably as it will appear on the commercial release. Not too much extra footage-mostly just close-ups here and there, but it was extremely enjoyable to watch it in pristine quality with the benefit of the sizable Paisley Park sound system.



During the 1999 segment, the man himself strolled into the room, scoped out the scene, looked satisfied, and left.



Overall, an enjoyable evening. (and free of charge!)
