the crappy 'mirror lens'

I read this somewhere when it came to When Doves Cry on stage... This may sound very stupid but were there mirrors on stage or was just a camera trick during When Doves Cry on the video "Prince and the Revolution Live!"?

It was Big Chick holding up a very large mirror to outdo Jerome and Morris.

Sorry but your wrong it wasnt edited it remained I owned it for a long time till I got rid of it(VHS version). During the song it DID have the mirror effect( I hated it IMHO). It ruined the "Live" feel to the video, IMHO as well. Now AFTER that version(IF there is one) it could of been edited out ( I dont know I didnt own that one).

To give the real answer.... No, there weren't any mirrors on stage. The mirror
effect was put on when the video of the show was released commercially.
When the show was originally broadcast on television (before the video was
released) there was no mirror effect during that song.

It was broadcast live via satelite in Europe, before subsequent release on video.
