Video: New unseen footage of a Prince sound check of "Diamonds & Pearls"

The great director Scott McCullough has posted this unseen footage that he filmed for Prince of Prince & The New Power Generation doing a sound check of "Diamonds & Pearls".

In Scott McCullough's own words:

"Not for monetary use and intended for the fans. Footage from a press released films that never really made it out. I shot this at paisley Park and now demolished HHH Metro Dome. Footage was released to press and never used."

Check it out and enjoy:

I saw this earlier today, it's a great but sadly short watch. To see Prince strut about in his cool threads is a sight for sore eyes...he looks sharper than a razor blade (in a paper cup).

He was very cute....I know he hated people calling him cute, but he was HOT. Always neatly dressed and razor sharp. What a terrible loss to the world. It still makes me so sad he was left alone. His best friend, Kurt, was on that plane, he never should have left his friend alone until he knew he was safe.

fan for life

It will never be an easy thing to accept, but, i'd like to think that Kirk was there for him as much as he could be. Whether he was there that night, or not, it was time.

Now, on to the video! It's a treat to see that moment that every bandmember always joked about, where it's cutting up and games until the BOSS walks in and buttholes pucker up lmao. I'm glad it was short, in a way. It lets us know that there is always alot more where that came from.

I'm insatiable, lol - I just want to see MORE of this sort of stuff...He oozed power and control and was absolutely magnetic, possible more potently because he was so slight!

He was so beautiful. Perhaps, he was just being serious and business-minded, but he looks a bit sad in the footage.

I love this footage, was so funny the bands faces when Prince shows up - you could see them thinking "the boss has arrived". loved it and how wonderful he looks.

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

That special olympics footage of the actual performance is outstanding even with the crappy rapping.

I might get crucified for this but Baby, You're a Star sounded better in this clip than I have ever heard it. Maybe because Rosie's singing is much easier to hear in the Chorus than the Revolutions' was. Diamond and Pearls never sounded better(even better than the recording) and the dancing was stunning...(the puppeteer shit he was doing was cool.
