4 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable   December 31, 2008
I really enjoyed this dvd and it made me laugh and cry. I am so glad I bought this dvd, it has renewed my love and interest in Prince. I also have a greater depth of understanding and appreciation of his music.


2 out of 5 stars Interesting, but a waste   September 29, 2008

I bought this dvd because it said there were live performances on it. Not a one. It showed clips from music videos, and the staged portions of the Sign O' The Times film, but nothing live. David Rivkin was the only really interesting interview. Everyone else was pretty much filler. Don't waste your time unless you are truly a new Prince fan. It wasn't awful, but nowhere near worth the asking price.

I thought that this particular documentary was excellent. I've been an avid fan of Prince since I was young, and there are very few films documenting his life or his music to an acceptable standard, so it is always a nice suprise to find one. In the film there are several recognisable music experts who assess some of Prince's finest performances; there is some incredible performance footage on here too, including a lot of clips i've never seen before - and I thought i'd seen it all!
Putting the brilliant musical and analytical aspect of the dvd aside, the rest of it is pure gold as well. One of the things I liked most was that the interviews were not entirely with music professionals and experts who have studied Prince's music and career from afar (like most), but a number of them are with people who are known to be/have been very close to Prince. So on top of everything else you get a great insight into the personal life of someone who is notoriously secretive and something of an enigma. As a Prince fan, a music fan and a documentary fan I thought this dvd was class A, definately recommend it to anyone.
