for the first time,and wow! what a show! His crew must of had a blast when getting to be apart of those shows. Another thing I noticed is he looked so happy,he looked truely peaceful,and happy.

Wish that I could join U in a reply...I've got The Indigo nights on second spin.

Lovesexy Best.show.ever.

Yes, some boot dvd versions have been created from laserdisc. Every home should have a copy.

I saw the Lovesexy show on November 11,1988 in Oakland....almost 20 years ago! It was the greatest concert I've ever been to.

Quite possibly the definitive Prince show of all time. Lovesexy is the 1

I haven't seen the Parade one yet.

I have only got a poor vhs tape of this but i still love it....top show from beginning to end...the car on stage, playing basketball and a bit of music too!

20 years ago 2day i saw the lovesexy show at madison square garden

i was already beginning of the mindset of "revolution who?" after sott, but this concert solidified it

yes the best concert, I could watch it again and again

sometime the same year, the Forum in Los Angeles, i was a silly little girl.
Bob George Live, lol, i loved it.

I love the Lovesexy show. Gosh Prince looked so good in that show. I love him with all that big, teased up hair.

And then those little black and white hip hugging trousers? Come here Princey. That man was a little unstopple piece of dynamite in designer heels.


I wonder if he's still got those pants...and if he still rocks them every now and then!

best show ever, i've worn my VHS copy of both 1 and 2, love it, i wish it came out on dvd!!!

That was a great show. and the footage is raw and uncut, that's one of the great things about it. Happy to have my copy of the live show. must be the tape (DVD by now) that i have seen the most of any tape i own. (concert, movie, whatever). It still rocks, and that after 20 years.....

yeah its on a bootleg DVD, wish prince would release the real thing with the videos for I wish U heaven & Glam Slam.It's an amazing show though,but i could never decide if it was better than Sign of the Times.

I remember Eric Leeds telling in an interview the shows were HELL; over-produced, no room for improv, boring as hell, tediously long rehearsels and on top of that there were camps of Prince personnel.

I think at that time he was romantically linked to both Sheila and Cat AND he was wooing Anna Garcia at the same time. Some people of the band never spoke to eachother.

Maybe that's the reason Eric did not play at the most famous aftershow of them all; the Small Club performance at Het Paard Van Troje (The Trojan Horse) at The Hague, the Netherlands. He was getting very tired of all the hoopla.

I was there too

That certainly was a great piano medley, with What I'd Say and It's No Secret (What God Can Do).

This is one of my favourite concerts to watch, he is amazing in this, there is one point where he looks into the camera and i just melt everytime! So gorgeous

I taped it from the original broadcast.

I know exactly the moment you are talking about during The Cross

I saw the 3rd Lovesexy show in Chicago and it was amazing. Still one of my favorite concerts of his, and I've seen a lot of his concerts. He did Sign O the Times that night, which was awesome because I later found out that that song was not on the playlist for most of the Lovesexy shows. I also got a picture of him out of his limo greeting myself and a few other fans that were there in the parking lot of the Rosemont Horizon as he arrived for the show that afternoon. I almost passed out from excitement. I didn't have the opportunity to see the Sign O the Times or Parade tour live, but have both on video and those are great too, but Lovesexy had so much going on on stage it was awesome. For me his music is so much better live, for instance I Wish U Heaven 12 inch was okay, but live it kicked ass with that guitar solo, which was on the 12 inch but never shown through like that!!!

Yea, this is definitely his best live show ever. If you have not seen it email me at incenseandcandles@sbcglobal.net
