Advice on ONA Bootlegs (not a request for material!)

Well I've owned Rainbow children for the last 6 years and forever been hating it.......

until now....

The lyrics are a tad tedious, but fortunately music for me has always been about....music, and I must be fair this album absolutely rocks for production value. For me it is a landmark in Prince's musical talents and is unlike anything else by him..so although I'm part of the minority who adore 20ten and one of many who loves 3121 etc I can safely agree that, although heavily a concept album and a ballsy move, this has to be his most accomplished album of the last 10 years

NOW TO THE POINT.

Because I am now an avid fan of this album, I have become much more eager to see and hear more ONA shows, I've already got the official releases of the audio and visual and have a copy of the Copenhagen aftershow lurking somewhere, but could someone point me in the direction as to what the best VIDEO FOOTAGE of this tour is? Naturally there's digital garden, which is cool but just curious of different perspectives on whats best in terms of quality and set list?

(Naturally to assure mods this is NOT asking for any links or copies, just opinions and suggestions)

Many thanks

The Hollywood & Highland show from 20th April 2002 is pretty good, but incomplete, about 30mins of the show is missing from what I remember.

The NYC All Access DVD is good too.

The Kokusai Forum show from Tokyo, 15th November 2002 is circulating too but I don't have that one myself so can't comment on the quality.

I've also recently rediscovered TRC. For its obvious flaws (the JW lyrics and the narration between tracks) it is a brilliant piece of work.

About the ONA boots - I have the Tokyo DVD its good quality and a good show. I havent watched it for a long time but seem to recall it starts off with Prince playing drums and there's a really funny bit where he gets audience members up to dance during The Work.

Dodger I think i have a copy of the Tokyo show.

Does one of the fans start singing into Prince's mic so he stops him and then looks at the audience as if to say.."check this nutter" ?

lol

Id it is that show it's a pretty good audience recording.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I think that could be the one. I havent watched it for years but i seem to recall Prince asked the guy his name and he says something like 'tuna' so Prince says something about putting him back in the tin. He takes the piss out of his dancing as well, it's quite funny
