For example, "Lovesexy Live '88" needs a release with Lovesexy (if that gets released in a deluxe).

But I wouldn't mind if they skipped ahead to a deluxe "Musicology" and included the fierce, fierce show played Auburn Hill, MI 2004.

I am so happy they did put out the DVD of the Purple Rain show. "Irresistible Bitch/Possessed" & "Baby I'm a Star" creased out my VHS back in the day.

What I´d love to see is a multicam shot Sign o the Times concert because I didn´t get to see the tour and the movie is great but not really a live show. Or a Lovesexy show other than the one that was released.

.........and of course the 1984 First Ave birthday gig simply because I love the songs he played that night. I would love to see footage of him playing Something in the Water or Noon Rendezvous.

They've released two so far. It's the clear intention.

Two? Do you mean the upcoming 1999 concert?

il bet that new jersey 82 show will be released

I do - a rerelease of P&R Live and this 1999 show. We also know the benefit show is in the pipeline.

I agree to a great extent. But before we get to 2004, let's think about a couple of things.

Sign O The Times was never in the U.S. (the edited movie aside)

Lovesexy Tour which saw a U.S. tour, but suffered with ticket sales. The Dortmund video is nice, but there has to be an even better quality copy out there from another date. I'd not even mind different shows edited together to get the best performances (maybe choosing from just 2 or 3 sources).

The Nude Tour never came to the U.S.

I think to round out the 80s (also including Parade tour) would be a great move. It'd ultimately cover 1982-1990. Then go from there.

The Toronto Lovesexy concert bootleg video is better than Dortmund from what I remember. Nude tour Spain would be very cool. Of course Parade...

But yes, if a multicam of a SOTT concert exists.

I would be heaps happy with a soundboard from one of the US LOVESEXY shows let alone a Multicam. I wonder if there was a house shot video from that parking lot private gig at Paisley 15/9/88. That would make a super nice extra for a DVD release of the 15/9/88 Met centre show with Sounds of Blackness and Wendy and Lisa guesting, and would surely be a fan favourite 😁

...also, if you are going to release the Dortmund Lovesexy show, why not add the aftershow at Große Freiheit 36 as an an extra (wasn't it shot by the same Film crew?) 😃

ActI / ActII should be top of the list for release!!

Are you sure it was the Toronto show? Because the snippets I´ve seen of that Lovesexy show were ok, but nowhere near as good as the Dortmund show. Not sure if a multicam Toronto Lovesexy show could ever come close to what that Dutch director (I can´t remember his name off the top of my head) did in Dortmund. I mean that show was superbly filmed and edited.

But if you´re right, then I would LOVE to see that Toronto show.

The Dortmund footage is great but I´ve seen it soooo many times and I´d love to see and hear Anna Stesia without the guitar malfunction.

This show was filmed by a professional crew.

..and the elitists already have it

^Not likely.

But I'm certain it resides within the vault.

Most of the rehearsals, soundchecks, and aftershows for the Lovesexy tour were actually captured with multi-cameras on film. So, if we are lucky, we'll get to see them one day in glorious hi-def quality.

A LOT of his live shit needs to be released with the quickness.

The only official aftershow CD we ever got wasn't real great.

One of the few good things that came in the wake of his death was a lot of this live material being shared and made more available.

I feel like I've seen some of that Toronto show. Whatever doesn't abbreviate "Erotic City" and "Housequake" like the did later. He cout out "Erotic City" all together by the time he went to Japan for Lovesexy.

Part of that Rotterdam Parade show is floating around and the quality is good an dit's multi-shot. With some re-editing, it'd be a great release for that era, or just sections from different shows edited together. The same for SOTT or Lovesex would be great. Sections pieced together. It'd be fun. I could do without that Cobo Hall show. It's cute for the birthday part, but there are clearly better shows.

The Toronto Lovesexy show was a widespread VHS bootleg of the entire show. I watched it back to back with the official broadcast Dortmund show once. I definitely feel he was more in a zone in the Canada show. OH... this was not a pro shot show if memory serves.

Erotic City was dropped from the Japanese tour because of some kind of regard for offensiveness from what I read a while back. In the "west" it was always performed from what I understand.

I was at the concert at the Palace (Auburn Hills), would LOVE for that to be released. It was great getting the CD at the concert, and I could even play much of that CD in front of my kids!
