Prince Album: “Artist: Rave Un2 the Year 2000 [Video/DVD]”

This show was aired as a pay per view event onn New Years Eve 1999. The Artist and friends including guests Lenny Kravitz, George Clinton, Larry Graham, NPG, The Sound of Blackness Choir, Morris Day and the Time pull out all the stops for what was billed as the party of the century. This show will please long time fans and new fans alike. The Artist now know as Prince plays all the old favourites (Purple Rain, Kiss, Gett Off) and introduces some great new tunes from his Rave unto the joy fantastic cd. An excellent live performance by Prince and all his guest performers!

I consider myself a pretty hardcore Prince fan. Musically the man is a genius, which he proves on this video. As always, he puts on a hell of a show. And, in this one he gets back to tearing up the guitar like few people can.

Then, why three stars? Don't get me wrong, religion is a great thing to have, but I didn't get this video so I could have a tent revival in my living room. Prince never struck me as the kind of person who followed orders, so I find it a bit absurd that he should be preaching now. I still love the music, and I'm still awed by his work. But, I have a slightly hard time combining the religious fanaticism I see here with the the man who trampled over every sexual boundary and taboo he could find.

It's worth having for the music no matter what. But, if you're not a particularly religious person, be forewarned, and be ready to fast forward.

I was fortunate to view this pay-per-view event one week after its original premier, and I was blown away! This was Prince at his unbelievable best with a crack multi-piece band that pulled out all the stops! I was immediately intrigued by the pre-concert interview footage that was included - it was a great way to set up the concert.

Then the concert began with a bang, with Prince running out to start the show off with one of his world-famous take-no-prisoners opening medleys. Here he played probably the most incredible rock guitar I've ever heard him play, with several solos that floored me, as if I wasn't busy enough gettin' my groove on! The 'thump-off' with Larry Graham was great as well!

If he wasn't playing the guitar, then he was putting out incredible vocals, singing along with his guests, or playing the drums, and doing it all so well. His message about conquering time and Jesus were very inspirational and they made a lot more sense this time around.

I will definitely be dropping this video into my player the minute I get it! This concert changed my life for the better and I am ever so glad that it did!

This DVD is the bomb! Why? Prince puts on a show. From Morris Day and the Time- (a Must see) to the Lenny Kravitz and Prince Jam session. True Prince fans will love seeing his energy and creativity.

Prince is a real performer who puts his heart and soul in every dance move and song.

As for the spirituality aspect, I loved to see that side of him.

The song he sang was powerful and heartfelt.

Get the DVD. You won't be disappointed!

Really enjoyed watching this DVD! Prince is quite a performer and this DVD brings you up close and personal with the dynamic artist.

LOVED IT!!!

I still would prefer less talk, interviews and documentary and MORE LIVE PERFORMANCES!!!
