Rave Euro promotional tour Anyone seen these clips of various appearances on European shows?
Some of the performances (baby knows and greatest romance) were a bit embarrassing. It was bad enough Prince wearing those robes and having glitter and shit on his face and head but to have the entire band kitted out the same - that was cold No wonder Mike Scott looked a bit sheepish - he looked like a cross between Buster Douglas and Elton John There was a French show where Prince sat down and spoke to the hosts, they were talking French and he was acting like he knew what they were saying but answering in English. Can he understand French or was he told beforehand what they were going to say and just playing along? | |

He did the Apocalypse Tube show in the UK - I was at the filming in Newcastle.
He mimed to Baby Knows and TGRES, was very relaxed and seemed pretty happy, even though the fans wouldn't leave him alone shouting out questions!! It was a pretty decent (mimed) performance - a few splits as I recall! No interview though. | |

Yeah he starred in Dutch presenter Ivo Niehe's 'Tros TV show', where he did
an interview together with Larry, after which they played TGRES. Can't remember precisely if it was mimed, I do think so though. The interview suffered from a frantic crowd taking away much precious interviewing time and Larry and Prince only wanting to talk about religion while making bad jokes (dismissing questions from Ivo). On the other hand, had Ivo dived more into recent Prince, he would have known not to thread certain paths. My impression is that P was in a good mood, but wanted to elaborate on the religion theme so badly he made the interview a bit cringeworthy. Other than that occasion, I don't have any sources. | |

Yup, and all the time he sat there, with his 13 year old look, sportin' a tea-towell on his head. Admitting though, Ivo Niehe with his comb-over and silly questions was no match for Prince. I love seeing Prince's look of fear when they started that Lois Lane [Kleeman sisters] tape. It was like "Oh fuck, I can't control this, I can't edit this now, I can't stop this". But they only talked about his boots heheh. I think he did feel a bit ashamed, sitting there talking about how time was a trick and all and then these girls come on and tell people how much Prince liked their boots back in the day lol. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |
