also, the aladdin video is utter crap on a technical level, but the actual performance sweeps the floor with the RAVE show.


There is one point when I thought it should be renamed The Lenny Kravitz show, featuring Prince.


i've had more fun watching GLADYS kravitz on bewitched.

lovesexy dortmund. The aladdin show is an absolute pile of crap! And lovesexy is good, but it's pretty borin to watch and alot better to listen to.


This statement kinda worried me. No self respecting Prince fan would say that the Lovesexy concert is "pretty borin to watch" !

eek


Ok i take back the statement about the lovesexy concert, for 1 reason. Well 2 actually.

1. Sheila E and that drum solo
2. Prince doing the piano medley!

I forgot about those parts. eek

I turned several people OFF from Prince permanently by showing this shitty performance to them. I hadn't watched it yet myself, which was where it all went wrong. Morris swinging in? The tiny, ambivalent crowd? The shitty editing? The fake banter between Prince and the Time? Those fucking children on stage at the end? I'd rather have Kirky J. step on my nuts than watch it again...


What's even worse is the fact that the person you see swinging from the rope is actually a white man stunt doubling for Morris. Look at it again. I was just too out done when I figured out that they used a stunt double for that scene. confused

I had never noticed that. That would be something to look for if I decide to ever put that DVD on again.

Yeah, I could go on and on about how bad that concert DVD is, but you guys have covered all the bases, I think.

WAIT!! Don't forget the "23 scriptures in a one night stand" part during Gett Off. An ATROCITY!!

That's the saddest statement I've ever read. Ever.

Rave Un2 the Year 2000 is my absolute least favorite Prince performance ever. And this is coming from a 20+ year fan. Horrible. Horrible. Godawful. Horrible.


Well keep in mind i have only seen a few live shows. Rave un2, live at the aladdin and lovesexy dortmund. The aladdin show is an absolute pile of crap! And lovesexy is good, but it's pretty borin to watch and alot better to listen to. And im sure there are much better shows than rave, but it's a cool show to watch!!

I think the Aladdin show blows rave out of the water!

Ouch! I had forgotten about the 23 scriptures bullshit....yikes, I'm going to try to NOT watch Shit Un2 the PayPerViewCraptastic again. In fact, I solemnly swear never to watch it again. Who's with me?

I also like how they used a "Stunt double" Morris Day swinging on the rope. Look close, it's not him. It's some puerto rican looking guy.

Maybe that stunt guy was Prince's "new Puerto Rican score!" eek

Of ANY career, to be honest. Someone who mentioned ripping the audio for the music; that is the only way to enjoy the concert. Watching it is like having your pubes waxed.


at least with getting your pubes waxed, you feel kinda sexy when the pain wears off.
