80's Video

I seem to remember that Prince had a video in the mid-80's that was a performance video. Two things that stood out about this video is that it looked as if it is was concert footage and the concert was in the round and secondly Prince jumped on the drum kit during the video and tore it up. Does anyone remember what this video is? If at all possible I would like to download a video clip.

The only time he's done "In the round" is the Lovesexy tour so it must be this?

He jumped on the Drums in the Live Sign of the Times video!

He played the drums towards the end of the video.

Must be "America".
Not in the round, but he sure played the drums towards the end of the vid, and it's a life performance.

You can get it here if you want.

He plays the drums in the movie Sign O The Times during "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night", but that's not in the round either . . .

Hmmm.

It's definitely the video to America.... the live over 10 minute version (I didn't even know there was a version to the regular, studio version of the song... is there?)

IT was a concert he gave while in France while filming UTCM ..... it's live. He's wearing a Trench Coat and weird hat..... and an outfilt kinda like the one on the Parade cover.

The song is extended with lots of "everybody stop on the 1"s etc..... (which I always thought was awesome).

Towards the end, he gets on the "drum kit" which is really an electronic drum kit with octoganal pads (Simmons?) but they are white rather than the normal black pads (like in Jody Watley's video).

It's the only time I saw the Revollution use these.... I always wondered how Bobby was triggering the LM-1.
