1991 Rock In Rio video question

Hi y'all I'm puzzled.

Supposedly only 45mn of that show had been aired on I-Sat in Brazil.

Except that...

- We have the full show circulating with the I-Sat logo on the full show.

- Though the latest leak didn't feature it my oldest leak segued from and into the TV channel's programs.

Very puzzling, though, is the fact that the film's quality isn't the same all along so I have a theory for what it's worth: only 45mn were aired but the full show leaked and the aired parts had better quality than the leak, so someone edited them together to make it better.

Either that or the guys from Uptown were mistaken and the whole thing was aired.

I so wish someone would know...

Ad always, many thanks for your help!

APPENDIX: UNSOLVED QUESTIONS FROM PREVIOUS POSTS:

01) 1990_06_02 Rotterdam (1) - 17mn - Someone said earlier that this was a leak, not from TV, so unless someone says other wise I'll consider it a leak.

02) 1990_06_02 Rotterdam (2) - 8mn - This one is waaay more ambiguous, though a bit long for a TV snippet. Anyone knows?

03) 1990_06_02 Rotterdam (3) - 2mn - OK so this one is obviously from TV because it's written Purple Rain at the beginning and there's something written in Japanese in the end... Huh? Wait a sec: a snippet from the Rotterdam show was aired... in Japan?! That one beats me. Any info?

04) 1990_06_16 Paris - 30sec - Obviously a TV snippet from a French channel. Any confirmation?

05) 1990_06_19 London - 21mn - Looks like a leak to me, it's too long for TV. Any confirmation?

06) 1990_07_07 Cork (Pro) - 11mn - There's a logo from a TV Channel named Cork TV Multichannel so it's obviously from TV. The lucky bastards got 11 minutes, wow! ANy details regarding the extra boradcast date?

07) Now a few ?? regarding the La Coruna show, because to my knowledge there was ONE broadcast of that show and oh! looky looky here, now we have THREE versiosn circulating, except all of them have the same duration (give or take a minute) and the same TV logo on the screen, so allow me to ask you a big... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUCK????

-08) A somewhat similar question regarding the Tokyo show since we have:

- Love Or Money version (songs in order)

- TV version (songs not in order)

and to these 2 recent leaks I'd addthat I used to have

- a DVD of the show in order but the intro featured a backstage ecene of Prince and the band before starting the show.

- a recording from French TV (Canal +) which was the show not in order but edited down to one hour (and without the short B&W intro of the "TV version" above).

So what I'd LOOOOVE to know is where each of these 3 versions belong in terms of when and on which country and on which channel the've been broadcast for the first time. + I'm gonna have to compare songs to see if there have been some edits but that'll b a headache for another day

09) 1988_11_06 Los Angeles - 4mn - most likely from a Californian TV broadcast but can someone confirm???

10) Lovesexy Dortmund: what are the differences, if any, between the so-called "Japanese" version and the laser disc version? And when was that Japanese version aired in Japan? And on what channel/program.

11) 1988_08_30 Hamburg Aftershow: was this aired on TV or not? Stillwaiting said he thought only a snippet from it was aired but he wasn't sure so we still don't know.

12) The Paisley Park SOTT live snippet from December 1987 is NOT from the UK version of the Omnibus doc. Is it from the american "Prince of PP" version or if not, from where?

A friend of mine has lived in Shinagawa since 1989, and attended those 1990 shows you speak of at the Tokyo Dome. It was aired twice, first time the songs were out of sequence, second time in order. Both were still heavily edited however, correct? (Was it the second showing that showed a little of Prince making his way to the stage, or am I getting confused?)
