Yeah, I never really felt the album version for some reason, but I was blown away when I saw it in the movie just now.

I saw the video first, then I bought the record and I was a little bit disappointed about the album version though...

And what about If I Was Your Girlfriend?

The album version is Grrreat, but when I saw it in the movie... love love love

The absolute best version of this song was played at Paisley Park during the 2002 celebration. It was slowed down and done very bluesy (is that a word?). Anyway nothing will top that version of the song EVER!!!

If you've heard both "Graffiti Bridge" and "The Arms of Orion," surely you can not make such a statement.

And yes, the live version from SOTT movie is excellent, most notably the very beginning with Sheila banging the shit outta them drums.

That whole movie is great! and the performances are WAY better than album releases. Except for

I can't wait until an official DVD release comes out just so I can have a digital version of the soundtrack on cd. I've listened to that soundtrack over and over again on cassette because I taped it from my vhs.

Sign O the Times. Was amazimg. the guitar intro floors the album release alone. And then the DRUMLINE entry of the rest of the band is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
