Just finished watching Prince LIVE At The Aladdin..

and it's now 12:28pm,and I am still rockin so I can't sleep. I just love to watch that man do his thang.

I can never watch Prince and then go 2 bed

I'm about to do my thang right now.
Then I'm going to bed.

great dvd! he was looking mighty good.
his duet with nikki costa was VERY nice indeed.

i especially enjoyed the performance of whole lottie love...i just love it when he gets in2 tht song - i could listen 4ever!
i just revel in all tht weird trance stuff he does with his guitar at the end.
he goes all kinda angry with it & punishes it, slapping it a couple of times,
then the piece de resistance...he lays it on the floor & places a hanky over it....

the ride was also memorable

one of the worst live dvds every....cheap production, flimsy production and about 10 secs of 'money dont matter 2night'

This is totally wrong! But, I still watch that DVD like at least once a week, after all these years.

I love the long Jam that 1+1+1 is 3 turns into esp the bass and Drums part whilst hes playing rythm

I haven't watched it for awhile...cuz' I had to pawn my dvd player....and ya know what I found out...
I had to sign a piece of paper....saying who the dvd player belonged to befor me...and in this case...a male friend of mine gave it to me...

If you run any dvd through a player...It will record within it's chip...all that has gone through that machine....ah ha! I said to myself!

I don't get all the negative criticism this DVD gets on the org.

Personally i like the way it is filmed. Prince was obviously going for the 'live' feeling, like you are there with the people in front of the stage.

The editing is really decent. Many 'contemporary' concert DVD's are cut so fast and flashy, it distracts from what is really happening on the stage. I don't see that a lot on the Alladin DVD.

Finally, the sound of this DVD isnt bad at all. Okay, there are DVD's with performances that sound crystal clear, 'perfectly dolby', but most of the time from 'sleepwalking' artists like Sting, Sarah Brightman and Chris de Burgh. Not exactly musicians who create some excitement and creativity on stage.
To be more clear, most concert DVD's actually sound WORSE then Live at the Alladin, especially those dealing with arena concerts (DVD's from The Rolling Stones, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM and the Foo Fighters come to mind).

Personally my only real complaint with the DVD (besides the ...well... unneccesary performances of Nikki Costa and 'Pick up the peaces') is that its way too short.
Prince was really 'showing off' with his band around that period, as can be heard on the ONA-set.
I think the DVD doesn't do justice to that experience. A selection with the length of 1 1/2 - 2 hours and 30 minutes of bonus (aftershow) material would have been far more appropiate.

I really enjoyed the DVD myself. I have seen Rave,also a great DVD,but I haven't seen Lovesexy or SOTT. I wasn't even aware that their were such things. I have been working my way through what Netflix had to offer.

pray~ that's really cool that you got to go up on the stage. I am sure that security was ready to pounce on anyone that thought that they were going to get a liitle to friendly with P.

i would have appreciated it more if it was the whole concert and not just a snippet

I bought it, watched it and hid it somewhere behind all my other dvds.

Prince can be amazing when he's not busy being a complete pussy

she has a huge camel toe. It's not cameltoe, it's like DINOSAUR TOE =O - Protege
i lime huck OFFA - Myle
she probably has locks in her vagina - Myle

That si a great disc. Some editing issues and cheap graphics, yeah. But in spite of that I still can't watch that without wishing I'd been there.

It's not that The Joker's gay. What he is, is Batsexual. He'd be whacking it to Batsy whether our hero had girl parts or boy parts underneath that rubber.

Loved his take on Whole Lotta Love, and that brief glimpse we got of his rendition of Love Rollercoaster. Wish there'd been more than 10 seconds of Money Don't Matter 2Night though.
