I would love to see a DVD or a Blu ray from the Australian leg of the Diamonds and pearls tour. The footage was pro shot standard definition, but you can upres Betacam SP with good results

In addition to all the unreleased material, I'd absolutely love a Blu Ray album version mixed for 5.1 and Atmos.

I think they would choose the unreleased Earls Court show from London because that one is fully edited and ready for release, they only have to remaster it and press it.

^The Aussie shows were shot professionally too, and I`m sticking to my preference

Would love any concert on DVD, but audio from the aftershow in Melbourne (The Palace) in soundboard quality would be amazing

You don't have to buy it. Some of us are looking forward to this and will enjoy it immensely.

then don;t buy it. I like the album (not love it) but love the outtakes and live shows.

In my opinion an album with Thunder, Diamonds & Pearls, Cream, Gett Off, Insatiable and Money Don't Matter 2Nite on is worthy of the special edition treatment.

There were also some great outtakes from this era - Player, Get Blue, Schoolyard, the Martika tracks...

I loved the whole era - the videos, the live performances, the image and his determination to prove a point by making a hit record.

I can't wait for the Super Deluxe!

All the usual stuff (outtakes, b-sides, all the various edits, something from the live tour) but that work-in-progress stuff on that Beginnings boot should get a look in, it's such a heavily produced album that that process warrents documentation.

The album sounds pretty good...but I am hoping they can do another super remaster and squeeze out more detail.

I just hope they continue with the remaster, vault disc, live disc and DVD format.

There's also great footage shot on film of certain songs performed on the tour, but those could have been rehearsals. But all that should be collected and put to disc.

Waiting 4 Your Love

Alice

Small Bright Light

Stroke

Do You Wanna Rock ?

Fancy Dancer

Standing At The Altar (Prince version)

And everything else we're not aware of.

if you guys aren't excited for this, you're part of the problem.

wouldn't it be nice, since this is an era that those jaded 80s fans and perhaps a good chunk of the general public are "uninterested in", if they went all out and actually made a comprehensive set this time?

yes give me 4 cd's of remixes and b sides if it means we'll get 8 vault discs. Just dump everything here. Do it. You can do it. if work that fat isn't on this set i will not be buying it.

Glam Slam '91

I would like the vinyl to have the hologram cover. Also hoping for unreleased tracks with Prince and Rosie.

For the DVD, I would prefer one of these shows that were both professionally filmed:

Glam Slam January 11, 1992

Paisley Park January 27, 1992

We'll probably get the June 15, 1992 concert form London's Earls Court. Paisley Park has shown that concert in it's entirety before.

An album's worth of more experimental, unheard outtakes. (Hey, you said wish!)

Would love to hear more songs he did with Rosie, they compliment each others voices so well.

I'd love for a remastered Earl's Court DVD, it's one of my favorite concerts if not for Theives In the Temple/IT and just the sheer production value. I also really dig the Cream/Chain of Fools mashup he does as an encore.
