-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a professionally filmed Controversy show, filmed by 2 separate camera's. 
One is placed center stage, and the other is to the far left of the stage. 
Throughout the show there are some excellent close-up shots, and the 2 separate 
recordings have been mixed together exceptionally well. The quality of the 
picture is quite amazing considering it's age, however it's not without some 
tiny flaws and it has a tendency to be a little dark in places. The show itself 
features some guitar lines from 'Jingle Bells', some great guitar jamming and 
distortion (as he's wanking) on 'Head' (along with superb close-up camera 
shots). And a start and stop on 'Private Joy' where Prince calls a halt to the 
song as Dez begins his solo - leaving him looking pretty pissed off. The menu's 
are fantastic, and follow on the Controversy Daily theme of the album. The DVD 
also contains a "This is a free trade only release message". Overall this is an 
excellent release. There are various releases of this footage circulating - 
please be aware I am referring to the version with menu's, chaptering and 
credits by Superball.
