I know the guy who filmed the entire "Behind the scenes" documentary and there's tons of footage but mostly interviews and behind stage footage. There is some on stage but it's all single camera.

Wow, better them fans to spend money like that than me. $77 was one thing but over 2K? Hell no lol Even I have a limit on things where Prince is concerned. To those who had it like that and spent it on the Opus stuff, I hope you enjoy it.
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

A slightly HiFi audio track, combined with this video feed would be acceptable, I think, as a starter.



nod nod nod

I have a couple of boot dvds, even in their visual crapness, you can see how fucking great some of the gigs were. Such a shame they don't seem to have been recorded for posterity..


we must have been looking at different concerts then cause the 3 shows i got r bored

give me the ona tour instead then maybe i'll wake up
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

Wow, 1/3rd has already been sold? Good for them! Hopefully us average folks get the entire 21 nights DVD instead of only 40 minutes - now that would be cool.

I'm happy for him. I just can't spend that kind of money on him even if I wanted to. That's just too much and I have bigger things I need to save up on but like I said previously, those who did get it, I'm happy for them and I hope they enjoy it. nod

I'm unhappy with prince because he doesn't deliver what the majority of his fans really wants. And that's excellent footage of WHOLE concerts and aftershows served on DVDs. There are tons of artists who fulfill the desires of their fanbase, and I'm JEALOUS. Why has it always so complicated and frustrating with prince ?

funny thing is...I'll bet my moneymaker that the video will surface again - and probably in better quality.....the doco, may be just the beginning...maybe its just the start of a longer 'movie' or dvd thats in the works....

prince has ripped us off for years LOL, well,no thats not fair....we've paid for things before ... only to see them for sale again in a new form a year or 2 later...remember all those 'members only' clips from the first NPGMC incarnation ..then a year or 2 later they were all (barring 1 or 2 songs) re-released as mp3 albums (chocolate invasion & slaughterhouse)

be patient - prince is just making sure he gets 'paid' before he lets the rest of us 'LF members'- (you know - all us 'everyday people') see the video.....

I think I've read the book twice and then packed it away before it got damaged...I'd never use a book like this one, it'd stay somewhere safe (in a safe)...so where's the joy in that? no thanks...but I like the ipod idea.....maybe when the price is a LOT more realistic!!


I.e.: The "Lotusflow3r" physical edition is not only available through on line retail stores... since I just saw it this afternoon sparky and shiny in a wrecka stow here in Milan, Italy. lol

I said "good for them" if you didn't notice - "them" being Randee St. Nicholas, Prince and Kraken opus. I just hope that those who joined lotusflow3r.com and are not able to afford this exclusive luxury item get something exclusive and affordable as well in the future. There's nothing wrong with wanting that in my opinion. Being happy for P does not mean that I shouldn't be happy myself as well.

Exclusive material given to members
1) The Morning After song
2) 3 Coachella performances
3) 2 Unreleased Leno performances
4) lotusflow3r T-shirt

Exclusive material offered to anyone who can afford it
1) Personal engraved Prince ipod with 21 nights and 40 minute never before seen video of 21 Nights in London.
2) Chance to win a Prince symbol diamond pendant and personal performance by Prince with up to 50 guests
3) The chance to win the shirt off of Prince's back spray painted with 21 during 21 Nights tour.
4) Chance to win 21,000.

Wanting a FULL DVD of concert footage is not asking for much...

Depends on the perspective.
It could cost anywhere from near 0 (just toss the content on DVD) via about 5 figures (in euros) to whatever you think isn't insane.
Just a slight amount of editing and mastering and of course the pressing of the discs, which are additional:
Hmm. Just do 50K pieces for starters, that would set you back around 250K for a complete case with inlay and disc?
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

giggle Those shows in London were awesome. You all were lucky to have Prince perform for you so many nights in a row like that. He hasn't toured the U.S. since the Musicology tour.

Would have been better value if these were signed by prince and the band.
I think the Vivien Westwood one is signed by her and all the celebs and models featured.
At least you'd feel you were getting something with a personal touch.

fair play to anyone who can afford this, but it is too rich for my blood.

Q for anyone getting one, would you use it as an i-pod or will you just ogle it?

Why don't you wait and see what addtional content is going to be placed on the site. Did you think for 77.00 you were going to get an IPOD? This project is not even linked to site because it was not meant to be marketed to the masses. The website is for the masses. Seems likely more live footage is coming. I am not even interested in video footage. I am waiting for audio.

I also think some of you had better get use to economic downturns and learn to deal with it. Your not always going to be able to get what you want and this instant gratification needs to end.

It was an official news statement on the site, therefore meant for the masses.
Maybe u missed it. And is also linked directly to Opus website.

The rest of your post, I really can't/don't want to comment on.
