Prince: Live at Glam Slam (teaser)
Part of the 2025 Grammy-nominated 'Best Historical Album' Diamonds and Pearls Super Deluxe Edition.
One take. One performance. The one and only Prince. The music icon in an intimate first ever sensational performance of the Diamonds and Pearls Tour at Prince's Minneapolis club, Glam Slam concert film found and restored after three decades in his vault. The sweaty, sold-out, last-minute show captures the sheer joy and sense of endless possibility that came to define this era. Rare, intimate and unforgettable.
Lauded as: Sensational (NPG/Warner), Superb...Prince at his peak (Classic Pop), the real prize of the set (The Current) among the reviews. A frequent collaborator with Prince during the pinnacle of his career. Sensational discovered footage from The Vault of Prince and The NPG in the first ever performance of the Diamonds And Pearls Tour at Prince's Minneapolis club, Glam Slam.
The sweaty, sold-out, last-minute show captures the sheer joy and sense of endless possibility that came to define this era. The full-length film is only available on Prince.com in the Deluxe Box Set of Diamonds and Pearls by Sony, Warner Music and NPG Records.
An example of the opposite of "over-budgeted": everything: Taylor Swift’s "Eras" film was $20M in budget (not including advertising), and shot with 40 cameras for 3 nights of filming at LA's largest stadium. By comparison, we created an extraordinary film here on 1/100th of the resources and production...and in just one performance with no over-dubbing or reshooting anything. The contrast speaks volumes in the authenticity of Prince and his talent and showmanship. I'm proud of these lean films and I propose that more people should know about them - with the nomination.
