From what I understood most of this film is live but in spots there were inserts that were filmed at PaISLEY Park.


Pretty much, the whole show was re-shot at Paisley Park, because the footage shot in Europe was too dark and the audio didn't have enough stereo separation IIRC,
I think the only European footage that actually ended up being used was the video from two songs and even they were heavily overdubbed with all new audio back at PP.

For someone so opposed to lip-syncing - this is a travesty.


AFAIK the only "real" footage were some audience shots and perhaps some shots of the stage.

Allthough the visuals aren't 'live', Prince and the band are 'miming' to actual live concert footage.

The audio (minus overdubs) comes right from the concerts he performed in Antwerp and Rotterdam. And even without the original visuals, it shows what a tremendous band he had back then, and how great and playfull they did sound together.
