Pluskylang Great Film overall

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Dolph Holmes I had the pleasure of sending the concert to Europe that night but not after a lot of aggravation trying to get the audio correct! During a few minute break was sitting in the audience listening to the purple one doing sound check...I did not realize that the lovely lady who was sitting next to me was Sheila E! She was just a pleasure to chat with for a few minutes. The lady could really put on a show.My co-worker had time for dinner with the members of the Revolution and said they all were great folks who just enjoyed what they did. Sadly I have lost my original recording of the concert with some early footage. A lot of comments that were made would have had to be edited out for any playing if you were not there! Was an experience that I did enjoy!

DangerousMJ I am a young fan of Prince. before i witnessed this incredible per4mance for the first time i was a HUGE MJ fan, after watching this tape i said "Micahel who?" 2 hrs of near perfect funk and rock! there a few parts where the concert slows down and gets a little boring such as The Beautiful Ones and God but the highlights of the show are the great. The best parts of the show are Irresistible Bitch/Possessed, Darling Nikki, Purple Rain but the song that makes the show is Baby, Im A Star. The song starts off normal and then the band just starts to jam!! you will not believe your ears. This concert changed my views of music and it proves that Prince is an incredible artist unlike any other before him.

scoonman I was in the video store a few years back when this title caught my eye. Since I had seen Prince live once, my curiosity got me so I purchased it. Imagine my suprise when I started to watch it and realized it was the show I attended live! Anyway, I went to the concert only because the girl I was seeing at the time was heavily into Prince, but I came away a fan. The man is amazing, and I must say this tape does the concert justice. It conveys the electricity that went thru the Carrier Dome that night. While some songs like "Temptation" were left out ( it was new at the time), the remaining songs and the dancing ( OH MAN, THE DANCING IS GREAT), more than make up for it. High points are "Beautiful Ones", " Irresistable Bitch", and of course "1999" and a just killer performance of " Purple Rain". If you have even a remote interest in Prince, this is a must have!

rogierr Less polished and coherent than later concert registrations: nonetheless great music and purpleness in the 'immaculate' early days of his royal purpleness the genius from Minneapolis. Also 5 B-sides R programmed in the show. No less than 120 min of jammin' funk and funky jazz. No material from the upcoming album 'Around the world in a day' unfortunately, apart from some catchy 1-liners and controversial behaviour :-oThe only let-down is the chest-hair, though it seems 2 disappear half-way through the movie. And there R some dull moments where the show seems 2 stand still 4 a moment. 1 of the worst composers of the 9ties was definitely the single consistently best artist of the 8ies: producing, arranging, composing and performing. He confirmed that once more in 1987 with the 'Sign "o" The Times' concert registration and the brilliant album of course. My second favourites R '1999' and 'Purple Rain' of which most songs R presented here. Purple Rain - the movie - was a disappointment though, even more than 'Under the cherry moon'. I'm still wondering where the fantastic concert registration of Lovesexy is.9/10
