I saw the Lovesexy tour in Toronto and thought it was great. Where can I get a video of any concert from this tour? Is it retail or bootleg?

i am guessing this is a bootleg
the 2 show that were released were German shows
was the toronto show good quality?

i didnt read ure question properly
sorry

There is a duble tape (official) from the show in Dortmund, Germany ! I don't know whether it's still available but it's a release from a dutch company called ID-TV !

correct me if i'm wrong folks, but the only legit copy of any of the lovesexy stuff that's circulatin on video is livesexy. the rest of 'em are bootleggz...and bootleggage ya can't ask for here.

No, Livesexy is the bootleg.
The official release of the Dortmund concert was
released on two seperate VHS tapes in 1988, called
'Lovesexy Live 1' and 'Lovesexy Live 2'.
also, for some strange reason, 'Lovesexy Live 1' is
actually the second half of the show, and 'Lovesexy
Live 2' is the first half.

Here's the setlist for the two official videos:

Lovesexy Live 2:
Erotic City
Housequake
Slow Love
Adore
Delirious
Jack U Off
Sister
Adore (part 2)
I Wanna Be Your Lover
Head
When U Were Mine
Blues In C (If I Had A Harem)
Little Red Corvette
Controversy
Dirty Mind
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Bob George
Anna Stesia

Lovesexy Live 1:
Eye No
Lovesexy
Glam Slam
The Cross
I Wish U Heaven
Kiss
When 2 R In Love
Starfish & Coffee
Raspberry Beret
Condition Of The Heart
Strange Relationship
Let's Go Crazy
When Doves Cry
Purple Rain
1999
Alphabet St.

(songs in italics were performed as a piano medley)

The German show was taped September 9th, 1988 in Dortmund.

A private taping of the Toronto show exists. I own it. But I never watched it all the way through because the quality is poor.

awright, i had totally forgotten about the 2-tape one...thanx, boris!

Thanks Everyone,

I'd really like a copy of this show but it sounds like it's gonna be difficult to acquire. I guess I'll do a search on "ID-TV." Please orgNote me if you can help.

Thanks

Got it on DVD from a kind trader on another Prince discussion board !

Another weird something is that on the officially released "Lovesexy Live" tapes they edited out the rather spectacular transition from set 1 to set 2 that lasts about 3 minutes with loud sound effects and stuff going up and down the stage, that was pretty impressive stuff...
And for obvious timing reasons about 10 minutes of crowd noises before the encore of "Alphabet St."...

Neversin.

Maybe some more factoids about the "LiveSexy" show.

This performance was actually meant as an extra show in the Netherlands, but Prince was unable to arrange a venue of sufficient size on the short notice they tried to arrange it all.
So what happened is that they organized the show in Dortmund, Germany, but primarily sold tickets in the Netherlands for it.
That's why you hear, embarrassingly enough, the crowd scream "Holland, Holland" in between Bob George and Anna Stesia (Dutch people abroad).
ID-TV, a Dutch production company, was contracted for the registration of the show, and it was broadcast live all over Europe. To the best of my knowledge it was picked up in every country Prince visited during the '88 Lovesexy tour.
I also remember a story about the director of the broadcast having an argument with Prince about raising the brightness of the lights for registration purposes... the director won and extra light was added.

I love that piece! It's a collage of sounds called 'Intermission'. There is a really poor sounding studio version of it at the end of CD 3 of Sabotage's 'Lovesexy Rehearsals vol. 1'.
