Back in 1983, Prince emphatically described how he
was going to bring in the new millennium. Still, who
knew "1999" would be so prophetic? Who knew Prince
would still be around to make good on his promise?
It's doubtful you were sitting home, watching a
pay-per-view special on the last night of 1999, but
know this: The Artist, Prince--whatever he's calling
himself on a daily basis--understands how to throw
one amazing party. This DVD not only presents the
entire 21-song pay-per-view in its entirety, but
also includes behind-the-scenes interviews and adds
additional jams featuring Jimmy Russell, bassist
Larry Graham, and George Clinton. Clinton is the key
figure here, because over the last decade, Prince
has essentially followed in the funk master's
footsteps. Rather than just fronting a band (as he
did with the Revolution and New Power Generation),
Prince is now more of a bandleader. Here, surrounded
by legends like Maceo Parker and members of Sly and
the Family Stone, Prince displays the graciousness
of a sideman, showcasing the musicians on his
crowded stage. He offers backup vocals on the Family
Stone's "Everyday People," and then plays
cheerleader on "I Want to Take You Higher." Prince
even gives up his stage to Lenny Kravitz for
"American Woman," and to the Time for energetic,
tongue-in-cheek versions of the hits "Jungle Love"
and "The Bird." When taking center stage, Prince
shows he hasn't lost a step either. His guitar
playing on "Purple Rain," for example, is some of
his strongest in years. All told, this is the best
Prince concert film we've had since Sign O' the
Times.
