Lovesexy Live

Granada International

YES

Lovesexy Live comprises of two VHS volumes of concert footage of the Lovesexy Tour that was performed in Dortmund, Germany on 9 September 1988 – the last show Prince performed for the European leg of the tour. Firstly televised, the footage was subsequently released to home video over two tapes; Lovesexy Live 1 comprises the last half of the concert, while Lovesexy Live 2 contains the show’s opening half. The portion of the show containing the bulk of Prince’s hits therefore appear in volume one.

The division into two releases preserves the format of the actual concerts which was likewise split into two acts by an intermission, to highlight the contrast between the light and shade theme of the live show. Lovesexy Live was filmed by Dutch company ID-TV, and uses no less then 32 cameras –  in impressive feat in its day.
