#Prince #PurpleRain #lovesexy
The hydraulic-powered stage at London's Wembley Arena, he had been the embodiment of randy energy, a funk evangelist promising he could personally service the diverse sexual needs of a mesmerized crowd of eight thousand. He had the audience chanting that God was alive, that God was love. The message had been delivered in a choreographic display of Kama Sutra gymnastics, and in a dizzying gamut of musical styles with all the reflexive intensity of a man speaking in tongues.
By 1988 Prince had them all Converted. Over a decade-long career of twelve massively influential albums and three feature-length films, Prince has led his public through a game of hide-andseek with an unrivaled gut sophistication. His grudging early interviews offered cryptic contradictions and falsifications- about his age, his racial background, his parents, even his real name-while his records, from the beginning, were a psychosexual striptease (most provocatively on 1980's Dirty Mind in "Sister," a reputedly autobiographical exploration of the liberating powers of incest).
He is that artist who comes fully alive only in performance. By 1988, most Prince gossip told of a moody, socially awkward man who was spotted dancing abstractedly with his bodyguards at a New York nightclub; who refused to join his fellow stars for the "We Are the World" single because, he later apologized with atypical humility. (The best printed Prince gossip story, in the National Enquirer, had him losing both girlfriend Sheena Easton and his chauffeur because he insisted they communicate with him telepathically.) Even the supposed self-portraiture of his biggest commercial success, the movie Purple Rain, unveils nothing more than an alienated, inarticulate man whose communicative redemption comes onstage at the film's conclusion in a song entitled, no less, "Baby I'm a Star."
The results of this compulsiveness were breathtaking, an increasingly eclectic brew of black, white, funk, rap, jazz, pop-you name it-melded into one smooth, polyphonic, synthesizerstroked package. Critics and fellow musicians compared him to everyone from Duke Ellington to Jimi Hendrix, from Joni Mitchell to the Beatles to Philip Glass. He was rumoured to have watched Amadeus dozens of times, the way Nixon watched Patton. It was evident in the way he presented himself. After all, Prince too was a musical polymath, a foulmouthed convention breaker, a man with a giant contempt for commercial tameness.
Then there's God. "Why would God choose an obscene child to be his instrument?" laments Mozart's untalented rival, Salieri, in Amadeus. Ask Prince. The singer had always given God generous credit on albums and films, and a messianic strain has always been a part of his music. With Lovesexy, however, Prince had become divine. He shelved the gritty, funk-driven, decidedly earthbound Black Album (now the hottest bootleg tape around) and released the seraphic, sweeter-voiced (but still sex-dominated) Lovesexy, in which willing flesh and willing spirit are merged. In a parable in the tour concert program, Prince hinted that the Black Album was the work of "Spooky Electric," his name for the Prince of Darkness (who also showed up on Lovesexy, as the embodiment of youthful anomie, the force that drives people to drink and drugs). "Spooky Electric must die," writes Prince. "Die in the bodies of women who want babies that will grow up with a New Power Soul Love Life Lovesexy-the feeling u get when you fall in love, not with a girl or boy, but with heaven above." And in the haunting ballad "Anna Stesia," he segues seamlessly from girl to God. Prince has even been proselytizing offstage, in his own oblique way. At Wembley a congregation of selected fans received autographs. They read, "Love God P '88."
Like everything he did, Prince's new incarnation as holy avatar, was weirdly topical. In the age of AIDS, sex and religion were more explicitly linked than they'd been in years. The American leg of Prince's Lovesexy tour came in the wake of The Last Temptation of Christ. Not to mention the fall from grace of flesh-loving television evangelists Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart. Theirs, in any case, is one problem the evangelical Prince would never have to face.

ONE of my All-time favourite albums and the Concert changed me in so many ways. It was a liberation! 💜💜💜💜💜💜❤
To the Prince Estate; WE NEED A DELUXE EDITION, NOW!
Agreed, but I think the sign of the times deluxe hoovered up quite a bit of stuff that may have gone now !
An album and era that absolutely deserves a super deluxe edition.
Id love to hear the unreleased tracks and rough demos from this record. It sounds like some rough cuts were in this video, unless that's just an effect to match thr video.
Yessss
Really?.... that album was a huge disappointment for many. The format it was released in was horrible.
If they do release a super deluxe edition PLEASE make it affordable!
facts
Prince 💜 broke down barriers. Prince was special 🙌
That man loved him some Detroit and Detroit loved him!!! I’m so happy that I was at most of those shows…thanks mom! 🙌🏽😁
Big facts! Shout to Mojo & all the Motor City Babies
313😊👍
Prince the first black person to appear on MTV!!!!!!!! People forget about that they were lost in MJ's Billie jean but Prince was first with 1999 in 1982!!!!!! The fans know!!!! I almost snapped the Sign of the times tape it was soooooo good!!!!
Prince’s video for little Red Corvette broke before 1999. 1999 actually had to be re-released because it initially didn’t do well. Once little Red Corvette got hot they re released 1999. However, Eddie Grant was first to air, but Joan Armatrading beat them all. The credit Michael gets for breaking the black barrier is because Billie Jean was purely R&B. Also because he was just smashing down all racial barriers with Thriller.
I love it when you call me names! Great song by Joan!
20:12 This press release mentions two Chicago shows at Rosemont Horizon, selling out in 58 minutes. A 3rd show was added and I attended that show. I came dressed in my best Prince inspired outfit. Almost got mobbed. People thought I was part of the show.
That night was incredible, but there is one moment I will never forget. There was a man two rows ahead of me. He was skin and bones, obviously dying. When Prince hit the stage, people held him up so he could see Prince. The memory still brings tears to my eyes.
Amazing. Story hits hard, thank you.
The entire Sign O The Times/Black/ Lovesexy is still my favorite Prince era. This was when I began my collection of bootlegs and outtakes which were just as great as his released material.
Same
mine too!
Nice to see the influential Joni Mitchell. So glad she and Prince respected each other. ❤️
Saw prince many times live but LoveSexy was just incredible - one of the best nights of my life - fantastic experience O(+>
Amazing!
sorry i disagreee album was extreme great but imo not that great put down live on stage exept i wish u heaven was good with matching blue light circles yeh i felt something and anna stesia thats what i got out of it i mean lovesexy should be the banger but yeh i know there is not really one good live version out there is there of lovesexy and he didn´t play i know or decent alphabet street or possitivity i mean kom up nou those are all bangers so yeh
kiss was ok erotic city sister delirious purple rain i guess but i wasn´t impressed
sadly cause i was into prince from ´82 1999 yeh idk just try be honest and i have standards for myself hey maybe i learned that little from mr bad ass himself
he was rather arrogant that way to put it mildly with his standards hehehh yeh always funny
to me someone so serious bout some´n all time
and not sorry i went there btw i went to lotta concerts it can happen if yr like me
it´s like panning for gold all the time yaahh and then u hit gold again and it´s all wonderfull
again hehehh
This is one of my favourite episodes so far. Blew my mind to find out Cat and Sheila didn’t get along!
Prince's sex/religion dichotomy was apparent in songs like "Darling Nikki" and "Temptation'" and was brought to the forefront on his Lovesexy tour.
He hit an inflection point
@@Sinnik22 i feel he resolved the conflict with Lovesexy as he is clearly seeing sex and spirituality are not opposed.. but he later abandoned this epiphany
@@timtrek Epiphany was right. He knew that the "conflict" was his creative edge. He certainly made a lot of great music with it. Upon realizing that they're not opposed, as you said, it was inevitable that he let it go.
@@timtrek He definitely abandoned this epiphany & in a sense made a 180 on the Love Symbol album. The Love Symbol album is a great album but I get a sense he was trying to cater to the Hip Hop market & reluctantly dipping into the sometimes misogynistic attitude in rap.
@@davidcoleman5498 only for a season , diamonds and pearls, musicology, rainbow children, art official, 3121, emancipation and others after he got back on track. As he matured he become more sensual instead of hyper sexual. I think he knew they could both exist without tension in monogamy
LoveLOVESEXY.. Prince was an absolute mastermind.
Everyone else can take a seat
Prince was actually giving us permission to take this trip with him, in our minds
He was actually elevating our souls to a higher level, and engaging spirituality at the same time
#SoSorryTipper #SorryNotSorry
💜💜💜
The Lovesexy show in Dortmund changed my life. And it came when i most needed it. I will never forget the moment.
Tell the tale! I’m on pins & needles! What happened?
@@Sinnik22 ha ha!!! No. It wasn't so horrible. Only a teenager crisis.
This was EXCELLENT. I am a huge Prince Fam member and this was a period that I know a lot about yet there is much I didn't know. You nailed this.
Love sexy was definitely one of my favourite 💟💜💟💜💟💜💟
Excellent edits and finding all those clips.... you can tell a lot of work went into this 👏👏👏👏
Thanks a ton!
My favorite artist blessings to him RIP KING 👑
je remercie dieu d'avoir écouté du prince toute mon enfance🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜il joue chaque jour dans ma maison mes enceintes n'aiment que PRINCE, soyez tous bénis ce soir amies lointains mon Frère adorais prince 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹dédicaces à sa mémoire
I love this channel! Thanks for keeping Prince's legacy alive. 💜
Always!
I adore your work! And look forward to more! Thank you! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much!
Shelia was fake
Le meilleur concert que j'ai vu de ma vie !!!!!!!! Prince tu es le plus grand show man du rock !!!!!!!!!😍🤘🤘
Prince had the top two songs on the filthy fifteen list. LMAO!
Prolific!
U2 definitely benefited from vote splitting those are all amazing albums
Facts 👆😏
Agreed
I loved the Lovesexy CD, look and era.
People ask me all the time about my fav album , hands down LoveSexy. The pure rebuttal to the infamous Black Album. I never understood the album cover and then it hit “ the light” God,Sex,Love water after positivity . The cover was his rebirth from the darkness. You are born naked . The album was his rebirth- if you listen one track done purposefully so you cant skip u listen to his confessional/devotional. At least that’s what I hear when I hear loveSexy
“Love is God , God is love girls and Boys Love God above” my dream is to hear alphabet st isolated voice isolated bass - then i could die 😂😂😂
You are preaching right now. ☝️😌
Love that about Prince…growing, evolving, trying lead others to betterment . Think he would approve of your breakdown
💜 🐾
yes, my favo period. (1987/1988)
thank U Si22ek
could that b THE aftershow alan was talking about ?! (Het Paard van Troje)
Thanks For Sharing These Videos With Us About PRINCE ROGERSNELSON!❤☺
Our pleasure!
@@Sinnik22 YOU'RE WELCOME!
I remember buying this back in 1988. It was so taboo. Lol. Love this album
One track made that CD “new tech” very frustrating. But love this era! Another great one. Awesome concert
This was great to see,thank you Sinnik22.
I was only 27 years Old when I actually arrived in the City of St.Paul,Minnesota with my girlfriend and various children in 1989 and Began to actually design various types of outfits along with the actual Batman Beyond Character and Name itself in 1990.
So I actually know what it literally sells like when your working on so many different types of things to which others ultimately will Financially Benefit from as your immently left out to dry yourself.
"God puts us where we're neeeded as we're needed."as I believe that and had once told Prince that-("God Has A Sense Of Humor,And That I Was The Other One."(Jokingly."😇")
He knew me as(The Cavalier Moonchild)back then between 1990-1994 as like to actually play Electric Guitar & Keyboard and visited various Music Stores thus checking out the various types of New Instruments coming out and immently getting to know the Wstore Staff while actually trying it various types of Musical Équipement (Thus getting some attention)and occasionally helping to sell some Instruments afterwards as certain people who actually buy the actual Instruments that I had just played and put down (So I helped a little bit)which made me feel good as I was actually giving back in a small way.)
Things definitely are not the same without Prince or Michael Jackson but I often think about them and find the actual needs to pick-up and instrument and Go wild remember them both-"Thanks Sinnik22,You Made My Day Wonderful Day."😀-😁"
Happy to hear that ! I’m always surprised and extremely pleased to hear how y’all are loving the project. Love your recollections too. We’re you working for DC?
Of all of the colors you can imagine Purple has influenced so many and throughout all walks of life
Wow, Susan Rogers really analyzed Prince and new Prince's upbringing, as if she was there. Wow. Ask for foregiveness? What a nut.
@Tony And then Rogers uses Cat’s lyrics conjure up a whole psychoanalytical dissertation when she wasn’t the engineer on Lovesexy😵💫
Agreed, I hate ppl keep making her his expert, and act like she really know. Her, Jill Jones and Susannah melvoin do that
@@zakiasimpson8928 There comes a point that as Prince loving fans, may have to start challenging established stories, that are often taken as factual gospel and repeated over and over and over again.
These fans, especially of the more experienced set, not to draw a line of smug 'entitlement' superiority, no, none of that, may need to start re-interpreting or re-encapsulating, I'm searching for the right word, Prince's story, his life as we as fans know it. We don't and shouldn't probably know everything.
However, these people, INCLUDING those that are supporting these established stories through publications such as books of what Prince did everyday in his life... etc... need to be challenged. What we know so far, has to be reconfigured in a different context of perception.
For example, Prince's fight against Warner Bros and ownership may have been more than just against his label, but also his former managers. The more you look at different stories, some fact, some unverifiable, the more you can connect the dots.
This needs a really specially curated deluxe version
"They love me more in Europe.........Change my mind!" is hysterical!!!
Prince knew exactly what he was doing, because in 1988 Dallas Texa love sexy tour he that was there the prince that I know he was making adrenalist look his whole the whole concert he was making making everyone comfortable because he new everyone loves his music that look being differently to anyone but that's what he was doing and he always does it subtly anyway I still love the man
This was the first time I saw him live then The Nude Tour after.I love Lovesexy.
Prince already mentioned Joni in The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker.
Superb.Thanks
Do you have a remembrance of both shows? I love people’s recollections.
@@Sinnik22 Mavis Staples supported him at the Nude shows.I saw 2 dates.Lovesexy I saw one date.He had a bed onstage too and he simulated sex and masturbation.It was brilliant.He danced so energetically , jumping off the piano and catching a guitar , sliding across the stage.That was Kiss.Then he jammed for about another hour and sang about forgiveness about the sex and masturbation.Lol.I had already seen big rock groups but Prince was way more than a concert.💜
As usual, excellent production. Shared it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for the share too🥳
So I saw Michael Jackson Live the first time in Europe. In 1988 I didn't get to see Prince and the LoveSexy Tour. He also toured Europe that year. I was working in Europe again that year. He came to Dortmund that Summer. I saw Michael's Bad Tour July of 1988 ..Madonna was alos out there in Europe touring as well. It was crazy. Three major icons touring the globe. I saw that year only one. The year before 1987 I saw Sign O the Times in Europe. So it was integral to see Michael in 1988. He didn't disappoint. Incredible Show.
I never seen MJ but I did see Prince! I regret I never seen J Five! It's life or MJ regardless he is the KING OF POP! AND OUR PEOPLE WILL STAND OUR GROUND!.TO LET THE! W!! Media know this Naw! Know More of your LIES!
I saw Prince Lovesexy Tour in LA 11/7/88 and Michael Jackson Bad tour 11/8/88
saw them both that year. (the Camille show was on Prince His birthday 07-06-1988)
@Tony MJ only Lip synced because of all that choreographed work he was doing on stage. The first time I saw him doing that was the Bad Tour. He needed to preserve his voice. So he did half of the song in synchronicity with the band then performed the rest of the song Live. But the whole show besides 3 numbers on the Bad Tour. I understood.
@Tony Michael Jackson was that guy. Because he realized that he wasn't going to do to much. People just wanted to see him. Why was he going to stress himself out with a 100 dates all over the world. His music didn't require him to do it Live all the time. Which he could and you know he could. Different show James Brown and Terence and even Prince.
Bravo..The editing is pure Gold..
💜Prince. Saw him in London & Paris 💜
Discovered him with 1999 Album ✨
Lovesexy is one of my top albums, and the tour was insane! 1986 UTCM - 1987 SOTT - 1988 TBA - 1988 Lovesexy are my years. Pivtol for me and made such an impression. I love all his stuff prior and after, but these years for me are his Golden Years. Not due to record sales but due to his material content. His stuff during this time was so interesting, complex and funky. And all his B-sides, side projects like Madhouse, and proteges- it is next level what this man could do. Miss Prince and Lovesexy to me is one of the tops! Miss u Prince. 🎶 💜
Yes! Thanks again.
From PR. Ya gotta love it! 😉
@@Sinnik22 im dedicated. Watching on the beach
Love the visuals on this one.
@Sinnik22 Saturday is a wonderful experience even in rewatching. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks and praise for this seminal expose which perfectly conveyed the genius/madness of the beloved Prince.
Thanks!
You bet!
Many Great Rockstars had a Religious upbringing,e.g.,,Elvis,Jerry Lee Lewis,Prince was in a Long Line..Prince admitted that he was a Rebel when he was young,But at the same time he Never apologised for his youthful Rebellion....p.s. I have watched Gen Z kids listening too some of Prince ‘s More Controversial Songs Like Head and Darling Nikki,and Even that generation Are Shocked,Even with acts like Cardi B of today....I Will Always Love Prince ‘s Music,He Was Revolutionary,a Poet ,and yes he did have a Sex God/Rock God image....Prince 4 Ever🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️🔥❤️❤️💕💕💕...p.s.,,Even in the 21st century Prince Made an Impact,His Super Bowl performance is Still Rated the Best Ever,and his performance at the Rock n Roll Hall fame ,with the George Harrison song ,”While my Guitar Gently Sleeps”, is Rated as One of Rock’s Greatest performances....There Will be Never again be someone Like Prince 💕💕💕💕..I’m Enjoying this Vid✌️👍👍Prince ‘s Bob George,and The Speed Punk version of Sister,Are My Faves from this tour..💕💕💕💕
Much love to Sinnik22 for these videos. I'm sure all us Prince fans appreciate the time spent on each of them and all the nuggets of information we never knew before.
geed job sir!!!!!
Thank u 4 this episode 💜⭐️☮️
I don't see Alice Cooper's " Cold Ethel " song up there but goes after the Purple Rain soundtrack eventhough the movie was rated R so obviously for mature audiences. My mom would let me have the soundtrack. She took me to that movie's grand opening. 💜
Keep up the great work. I fell prince should have taken a break. I know he was so creative but he need time to focus on what direction he wanted to go in
I remember the censorship hearing
Awesome
Prince/ 0(+> lives on though us and his timeless music
It is funny that Prince' took off his clothes a month after playboy released Denise on April 1988. Lovesexy was released on May 1988.
Just like he married one year after Denise got married in 1995.
no u on right side of thinking and feel and vanity died 2 months before he went yeh
hey maybe i got to revalueate this whole prince going off being dead in weird situations i guess i knew all along but this is probably it yeh his alltime love
Well i guess those parents were right today kids listen to far worser lyrics.
*worst*
wild
13:55. I'll be petty, she's referring to Wendy & Lisa's music after she'd finished talking about PR. Wendy and Lisa absolutely put from Joni more than Prince did and it shows.
❤0(+> prince
I don’t think Cat was a good friend to Prince. She knew his stance on drugs but disregarded that. Drugs lost her the job she had with Prince and that was the best she ever had.
Thx ♥️💦💜
No problem 😊
oh my i never knew they got to brown mark and dickelson to say some´n stupid on camera
idk was prince directing that on down-low? i mean sounds really stupid and pass for the goal catering to the religious fanatic literalists with who u can´t sail on land with
Shelia is fske
Shelia is fake
yeh and then all these hardest yelling preachers all exposed one by one years after with whatever thet preached against hehehehehehh yehheh that was funny
