4 the tears in your eyes - why not on live aid dvd???

Hi,

does anyone know the reason why the video for '4 the tears in your eyes' was not included on last years dvd release of live aid 1985?
In my memory, the video was aired in 85 during the live aid show. That was the only time I've seen it.

thankx, jazzz

That Prince video was only aired in the states version of the show. The dvd is more or less what was seen in the UK, and it wasn't part of the show over here.

Also it could just be Prince refusing to let them re-use the footage in his own inimitable stubborn way.

Really? I have never heard that. Certainly it was never shown in the UK, and the DVD is based on the UK broadcast.

I remember all the tabloids saying that he had sent in a video of himself naked for it.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
