Y'know, I was watching the footage of the Dortmund show of the Lovesexy tour a couple of days ago, and Prince sure looks as if he's having a whale of a time performing 'Bob George' ... It's yet another reason I don't buy the whole "The Black Album was evil" thing.

In the live Osaka boot there's this adorable moment where he goes 'mushi mushi' and then giggles in this totally genuine way

I envy anyone who got to see him on that tour, by the way! It just seems like he put his all into the whole thing. I haven't heard the Osaka boot, but that performance of 'Anna Stesia' at Dortmund is quite something!

This is also the tour where the famous 'small club' aftershow boot comes from isn't it?

ok this album is on spotify now but it's as one 45-minute track wtf?

"The album is designed to be heard in the context of a continuous sequence: LP pressings split the album in two side-long tracks, without visual bands to indicate individual songs. Similarly, early CD copies of Lovesexy have the entire album in sequence as a single track, though some later editions have it as nine separate tracks."
yeah no shit isn't like almost every fucking album?

Surely that means that Spotify Free users'll be able to listen to the entire album ad-free?

Over time, this has become one of my favourite Prince albums. I just listened to it back to back with The Gold Experience and this is so far ahead it's not even funny.

Best songs-Alphabet st (part one)GlamslamAna stesia I wish u heaven
It's a rushed album though. And the 'I'm reborn! I'm cleansed!' tone can get a bit irritating.

But its genuinely inspired. Still, the tour is what made this so good. Genuinely one of the great concert videos ever.

Oh I went to that one, Wembley arena. Lovesexy/black album. Got the tour prog somewhere.. (when did gig programmes stop being mandatory? Do the 1975 do them?)
Anyway, my sis&broinlaw were with me (it was their birthday present, which shows how 'reasonable' gig prices were back then) and they loved it. But my sis (who didn't go to many gigs) assumed all gigs were like that, and got massively disappointed when they went to see Bobby Brown 6 months later. Apparently, he also had a bed on stage but that was as far as the 'comparable' went.

Princes 87/88 tours were just ridiculously superior

One thing about this album and the black album bott sound thrown together. Like he barely spent any time on them and thought that would be enough. Glam slam and I wish... even have the same verse repeated !
