WTF are you people smoking today? Obviously, whatever we're smoking is what keeps us from being mindlessly devoted zombies, such as yourself. | |

The original Led Zep DVD totally made me think how awesome a Prince collection could be. Don't blame Warners because when it's in his own hands you get shoddy material shot cheaply, edited badly such as Rave Un2 the Year 2000, Aladdin DVD, Beautiful Strange. | |

FunkyAphrodite said: The only real 'official' and best release of SOTT was in Canada on Alliance (Universal) in 2005.
The picture and sound are both fantastic and top notch.  For a 20-year-old film, the Canadian DVD version looks pretty decent. The exception is "U Got the Look," where the picture quality is noticeably worse (supposedly because it was shot separately on videotape instead of film).
I haven't heard the 5.1 soundtrack... actually, I've got a bunch of stuff in 5.1 that I've never listened to.  Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

And not just those in his inner circle. [Edited 1/1/08 3:34am] | |

[Edited 1/1/08 3:34am] Prince has acknowledged many times that Led Zeppelin were one of his biggest influences. I couldn't be arsed finding the exact quote, but he's said it more than once. Don't you ever have anything nice to say?  [Edited 1/1/08 5:42am] Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

And he has paid them a great compliment by covering Whole Lotta Love a good few times if you've gotta pay for things that you've done wrong I've gotta big bill coming at the end of the day- Gil Scott Heron

Prince and Led Zeppelin could always do a DVD together. Jimmy Page did a few shows with The Black Crowes and they did a bunch of Zeppelin songs. How about Prince doing his own songs with Zeppelin as his band? | |

Why would he when he can collaborate with talent like Tamar or the Twins | |

toejam said: LittleSmedley said: yeah, but WHAT ABOUT EXTRAS?? this goes for all the dvd releases, including the Purple Rain Anniversary edition.
Gees dude, I thought the extras were great on the PR 20th Anniversary DVD... - 3 mini-documentaries featuring interviews with key people (W&L, Alan Leeds, Jimmy & Terry etc.) - All of the official promo videos from Prince, The Time & Apollonia 6 - Commentary by Director Steve Fargnoli - the original MTV premiere special What more did you want? This is Purple Rain we're talking about, a relatively minor hit movie in the overall context of things. It wasn't even the highest grossing movie of 1984! how about the deleted scenes that r clearly in the trailer 4 all 3 films?  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

I got hold of the brazillian dvd a while ago. The picture quality looked like it was taken from the video and the sound which was claimed to be 5.1 surround was more Dolby pro logic than true digital surround.
The dvd was re-mastered around 3/4 years ago and release across Scandinavia. I got this when it was released and can honestly say that there is a noticible difference in picture and sound quality. Can't complain at all. Life's a Parade! LoveLife, LoveSexy! | |

I want to see more in the DVD releases now. Deleted scenes, bloopers, outtakes or something. OR have it on the 5.99 rack | |
