SOTT is not a real concert. And the '86 birthday show in Detroit was never released.

The Rave ... dvd is more of a real gig than SOTT.

Prince has always had this hate and envy about hip hop. He can't seem to cope with that fact that that music is the most innovative stuff going right now.

He knows he can't do it and it burns his britches.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Sampling sampled samples is innovative?

I think pretty much anyone on this forum will know exactly what the SOTT movie is - who are you trying to educate here? And, its a somewhat pedantic point you raise - as you will know, the audio is from live concerts but, sadly, the video footage was not up to scratch, so it was filmed again to enable the release - nothing wrong with that! I'm just glad it was released at all.

Secondly, I did say that the Detroit show was only televised....but thanks for reinforcing that!

And I'd take SOTT over Rave any day of the week.

Perhaps Prince is just hospitable to his fellow 'pro's' even if he thinks they're shit or beneath him.

Prince never seems to work with ANYBODY he didn't put on himself [mostly: Ya'll know what I'm talking about], & I think it's kind of hurting his music lately [Hey, we all need inspiration from other sometimes]. So, why can't this happen for an album or two? Prince production & Questlove Drums [& co-production]? That would be absolutely DOPE!!!!! What do you "Girls & Boys" think??????

I seem to remember seeing P with ?uestlove AND D'Angelo in Chicago years ago...
