America - The Video

I just watched this video on VH1.com and man, it is SLAMMIN! I think the last time I saw this was back in 85 on MTV. The Revolution was rockin the SH*T out of this one that is for sure.

[No asking/hinting for snip - luv4u] I want THIS version on my iPod...I have the old 23 minute version which is good but doesn't even come close to this.

In Nice , not Paris. UTCM wasn´t shot in Paris, nor was the storyline based in Paris.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. When I first saw the long version, I was in total awe. The Revolution was on FIYAH!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

He does a drum solo in the video?? Damn i guess I've got a shortened video (from the "unofficial" Prince: Music Video dvd) approx 4:58 in length. How long's the full version of this video?

The Revolution were on fire.

Ahhhh man I love this video soooo much! The Revolution were amazing as always, and Prince was clearly having a great time.

Best moments in the video for me:

Prince playing the drums

Throwing copies of the record into the crowd (would never be allowed with today's health and safety laws, the edges of those vinyl records coule slice someone's head in two!)

"Thank you.....get going!"

Someone in the crowd getting his coat and his security going in to get it back!

Every shot of Wendy feeling the funk

Lisa's outfit

Eric Leeds and Eddie M trying to outdo each other

Great moments and brilliant video!

I the P's guitar solo and great facial expressions.

His outfit was funky as hell - I love it when he busts out the dirty mind coat.

You could feel the energy in the room. Where's the whole concert video? Could you imagine if P where ever to release a comprehensive concert video collection -OMG.

and 4 the record ..the video is HOT shit!!! nod
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

Thats what I meant in my first post above...I own the 12" which is the 23 minute version. It's good but's not NEAR had hot as the video version...which I just learned on this thread is about 10 minutes long...I've only seen the short version. Prince should release this as a download. Its obvious we all agree that its THE BEST version of this song.
