The Best Of the Best!!!

I have started to collect DVDs of Prince concerts and I'm simply looking for the Best from each tour to start with, so your recommendations are needed.

I have all the official releases so it is the names of the other ones I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help.
If a tour you see mentioned and you agree with please recommend from another tour.Like I say, a nice neat list would be great!

The Homecoming from the 1999 tour is pro shot and has all three acts. Bootleg quality sound and a single camera, but I don't know of a better DVD from that tour. Get it for The Time and Vanity 6 sets, as the prince set is sort of uninspired.

4 Those Of U On Valium. This SOTT trial run was pro filmed, but suffers from the usual degraded tape of 1980s videos. Cool show.

This is a great show. Forever In My Life is just genius.

I've got a Nude show from Spain (La Coruna?), but everyone raves about the Tokyo Nude show.

Indeed, the Tokyo '90 show is by far the best Nude show. It was televised so the quality is Excellent.

The Glam Slam Miami shows 7-9 June 1994 are excellent quality, for Gold, Come, and Exodus material. As far as I know there are no professionally shot Act I or II shows available. A lot of handheld shows, but if you're like me I can't handle watching those.

I'll second that emotion for Tokyo Nude. The wind blowing across the stage, Bambi as a killer rock anthem, the Auerswald cranked to 11... so cool.

If I recall correctly, I had a boot in the early 90s that was how the show was televised but the running order of the songs was not how the concert was performed (meaning it was edited later). I since have found one with the correct running order. Tokyo '90 from Fullasoul.

Fullasoul seems to put a bit more care into their releases.
