The America Video

I know I should probably already know this, but can someone tell me where this video was shot? Thanks.

I think it was in France. Possibly Nice, France during a break from filming Under The Cherry Moon.
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

Nope. Doesn't say in The Vault. I am sure Borisfishpaw knows.

I recently asked if he's performed this song lately, but now I kinda wonder if he's ever performed it with his other bands (and without The Revolution).


I know hes played it without the revolution..
But i cant remember if it was full length confused

One of his best live-jams on video!

Alltough i don't normally judge The Revolution as his most tight, funky 'outfit', on this track they really nail it.

Its one like big jam full of 'audiovisual orgasms': so full of energy and spirit.
- That Eddie M. sax solo, wow!
- The way Wendy is moving and dancing
- The horn-riffs
- That Linn-beat
- And, last but not least, i have NEVER seen Prince more relaxed, enjoying himself freely, as on this video. And, i mean NEVER... lol

Too bad Romance 1600 Live never made it to DVD. It ends with a fantastic live version of "A Love Bizarre" ... and you know who completely takes over the stage for the entire 10 minutes. Well, since Rhino is re-releasing the CD ... maybe the DVD isn't too far behind ... ?

I always struggled to hear what he was saying at the 5:56 mark since that's my favorite part.

I'd love to see this. Was it officially released and are any copies still being sold?
flag Seeing any of it would be amazing headbang
