5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent example of a REAL live performance, July 15, 2005

By	B. Harris "B Killa Maka o' Scrilla" (Indianapolis, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

SIGN O' THE TIMES was an excellent "concert movie"... but, as we all know, alot of it was re-shot and re-filmed with prince lip synching. THIS, however, was NOT a lip synched concert (to the idiot who said otherwise) ... as for guitar not plugged in? You can tell whoever wrote that review knows little about live performances... (...) ... it's called a wireless system... it's been around for YEARS and yes, Prince was one of the first to use it extensively.

At any rate, back to this review: although Prince has a habit of dragging songs on and on, we all KNOW it's a remnant of his love of all thins Funk where George Clinton would have these marathon jam grooves... in fact, it's very much like PHISH or Grateful Dead in that respect. But NO ONE else plays, SINGS, and DANCES at the same time... not then and certainly not now... This video stands the test of time, as do the songs.

Admittedly alittle self-indulgent, but hey... he was A-list #1 at the time. Not as good a show as the PARADE paris shows (bootleg) or the German TV release of his LOVESEXY show (which should have gotten an official release), but still better than anything put out then ... and even now.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING VIDEO, July 30, 2004

By	Mike Rules "Mike" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This is Prince when he was at the top of the Pop World and it shows. This show is just electric. Other Purple Rain tour shows may have been better or had rarer songs, but this is such an important document and a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!, February 7, 2003

By	Arne Larsson (Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unfortunately, I wasn't even born when Prince rocked the Carrier Dome. So, after having purchased the Purple Rain film, I was longing to see more! I bought this tape, didn't know quite what to expect, and the experience blew me away! Prince performs all the classic songs, and more! Before I bought this video I had never heard the song "Delirious", but now I walk around and hear the song all the time in my head. If you, like me, like Prince's music you should definitely buy this video. My only complaint is that the whole concert isn't on the tape. But, I guess you can't have it all. Anyway, this is the greatest concert (tape) I have ever seen. That pretty much sums it up! BUY IT!
