Free Sign of the Times DVD with Sunday Paper!!!!

http://observer.guardian....21,00.html

For the next two weeks, The Observer will give away classic live DVDs by Prince and Talking Heads, two of the greatest ever concert movies .

Sign O' The Times

The great rock writer Nik Cohn was unequivocal: he'd seen Jimi Hendrix and James Brown play, but for him the greatest live performer of all time was Prince. Thanks to his run of 21 nights at the O2 Arena, half the country has had the chance to make their own assessment of the purple genius's merits this summer. But few could claim that these shows have touched the heights of his Sign O' the Times tour 20 years ago. The film of those gigs was purportedly taken over four nights in Rotterdam and Antwerp but the quality of the footage meant that reshoots were necessary at Prince's Paisley Park Studios, when a spurious narrative was created through a sequence of inter-song dramatic devices. The viewer couldn't care less when the results were this exhilarating.

Is this in the UK?
If it is then I gotta have my sis who lives there get me one too. That's how I got my Planet Earth CD...she came back home to Honolulu last month and surprised me with it, (she brought some other gifts too but don't even remember what they were...just kidding)

Lucky bastards! Those (along with The Last Waltz) are my favorite concert films, and I don't own either of them.

Blimey he has actually let them do this!? Here I was thinking he didn't give a shit about his back catalogue.

Maybe this is an answer to all the youtube and ebay bullshit that's going on.

Pardon me? Prince plays in Europe for 21 nights, not including all of the aftershows, and some of the Europeans have the nerve to moan and complain about everything. Then, on the last night of his tour, they throw glowsticks at each other and one of them hits Prince. And the U.S. are acting like "spoilt brats"? I don't think so, and you sound totally ignorant making that comment. You need to seriously get a grip. stfu loser talk to the hand
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
