Prince..Live in Las Vegas DVD is really...

sad bad....does anyone agree with me. I just watched it again, the cinematography is a complete mess. The mix is a complete mess! My two biggest pet peeves....Nikka Costa duet and Whole lotta Love....why during any of his guitar solo did the camera man decide to not focus on him and his instrument?? Is there a good live prince concert video out there?

I have been at a friends house recently and watched quite a few other artist DVD. I saw one with Sting that was outstanding! it wasn't all grainy and you could hear every single instument and see it played very clearly!

Why does Prince have the best live shows and *the worst* recordings of them...

I Like the "Live in Las Vegas," DVD..and I thought the duet with Nikka was great..I bought Nikka's cd...after I saw their performance...

I had similar observations with the "Rave," taping...which was different from the show that aired on television that night.

I like the DVD, but don't like Nikki Costa.

The grainy footage was part of the concept of not putting out a slick produced product like the Sting concert, to put out a "real" collection of clips. With raw "real" sound.

I think this was to contrast against the previously criticized post produced "live " releases

It was kinda rough to watch with all the editing and as one who was at the show, it was disappointing that it wasn't the entire show but I'm glad he released it. It was better than nothing at all. It kinda makes me laugh how the majority in here want more official DVD's but then when something like this comes out, everyone complains to high heaven about it and then fans wonder why we don't get another DVD. I'm not saying we shouldn't have our views and voice them, hell I complained too, but I'm not shocked or surprised at why there wasn't a DVD for Musicology or the 21 Nights tour. It would be the same song and dance.
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

When I was a kid, I would sometimes pull my toque down over my whole head, so I could barely see or hear, and walk around bumping into stuff.

Watching the Vegas dvd reminds me a lot of that experience. razz
