Recorded on the tour supporting his 1987 nearly-solo masterpiece, Sign O The Times, a concert film, comprising footage captured at Paisley Park and on stage overseas (discontinued in the US in 1991 after going platinum on VHS and eventually making way to DVD in several countries outside of the states) has been acquired by Showtime. It's set to air on Saturday, September 16th. Purple patrons will notice members of both The Revolution and the freshly-formed New Power Generation in the band, blazing through classic cuts with surgical precision, even covering Charlie Parker's "Now's The Time."
