all day, all night

Is this performance legendary?

I know there's a clip of doing "Just My Imagination" out there, which is great, but OF4S usually makes (great) threads about significant, memorable, historic eras/performances, so I'm wondering what this one was known for, if anything.

Everyone was in it, but Prince wasn't interviewed * Sheila E, Owen Husney

tones of images and vid clips that you've seen are from that doc

It was like a behind the scenes (concert Truth or Dare) documentary

images from aftershows, concerts, dressing rooms, rehearsals

a lot of Batman info too, Prince & band arriving places God Is Alive background info etc etc

love the ending, it's from a warm up in Europe, Cat with a tamborine while Prince plays the Ladder on Piano plus some pre-Lovesexy stuff, like the live recording of Purple Rain in 1983

This doc closed the era out for me, it made it hard to accept the change in band and the whole new scene Prince was in.

these below are from that doc.

Thanks

I think this show, was 1 of the 1st that gave us a peak into the mystery of Princes aftershows, especially at the time 91(?) stuff wasn't so accessible (no internet) and seeing pieces of that performance and him singing Happy Birthday 2 Cat, It's a good show too-I've heard

Before he became a symbol, a Jehovah's witness and one of the world's last anti-download crusaders - the purple genius was briefly the biggest artist in the world. Prince Of Paisley Park, a rarely seen Omnibus documentary of his early career, focuses on the creation of his record label. This was the first time the notoriously secretive singer let cameras into his studio and contains rare and cherished footage behind the scenes, including film of the concert where he first recorded "Purple Rain". Talking heads include Paisley artists Sheila E and Mavis Staples and a host of music journalists providing an insight into one of the 20th century's most intriguing rock figures - although as anyone who has heard 20Ten will testify, the claim that Prince could "write a hit in 20 minutes" does date it slightly.

Cat's birthday. She said in an interview this dress looked so much better backwards.

lol I think it is

I have pieces on mp3 from the Prince of Paisle Park, like when he's singing Happy Birthday 2 Cat and Sheila E's interview piece, I have 2 check I might have this show though

Should just rename this 2 Lovesexy Aftershows 1988/89

Apparently (from what I hear) the gig was played in almost total darkness in parts, so i'm not sure that would work too well in terms of a dvd release, and of course we already have the audio in pristine soundboard. Still, i'm sure a lot of people would still be interested in such a release.

I would certainly be interested in hearing other Lovesexy aftershows in the same quality as that of Small Club.

there is a soundboard audio of this show???

Not of the Camden show.

i love what is out there of this show (kinda crappy sounding and missing a few songs at the end). the quality of it doesn't even to be good. i just wanna hear the rest
