It's the wonderful version with horns.

That's from The Diamonds and Pearls Video Collection VHS/DVD. I have always thought this version was highly superior to the album version. I love seeing the filming crew in the video dancing in the background.

I seem to remember this debuting on network TV in 1992 right after the Super Bowl.

I've always wondered if the vid is playback on an existing recording or a live take video AND audio altogether.

Yes. Tony played guitar on Push, which was the climax of the Diamonds & Pearls tour.

So true. He took it to the Church. So much built up tension that explodes at the end. Perfect Prince example of the sacred and profane.
