− | Unlike the other videos from [[TV Film: The Beautiful Experience|The Beautiful Experience]] which were shot in early 1994 specifically for this TV-special, '''Papa''' and [[Video: Loose!|Loose!]] come from another project. They were actually shot in June or July 1993 for another film about which little is known. Directed by [[Parris Patton]], this mini-film starred [[Nona Gaye]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Marcil Vanessa Marcil] with scenes set in an underground club where [[Prince]] is the main attraction. The whole project was scrapped in favor of [[Home_Video:_The_Undertaker|The Undertaker]] which stars [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Marcil Marcil] only. It is not clear however if [[Home_Video:_The_Undertaker|The Undertaker]] was a portion of this project, its continuation or a totally different one. The footage in '''Papa''' with [[Nona Gaye]] seem to come from the aborted 1993 film. Of note, the song [[Papa]] was also the titled track of [[Single:_Papa_EP|an EP]] that [[Prince]] worked on around that time. | + | Unlike the other videos from [[TV Film: The Beautiful Experience|The Beautiful Experience]] which were shot in early 1994 specifically for this TV-special, '''Papa''' and [[Video: Loose!|Loose!]] come from another project.

| Being shot in mid 1993, between the [[Act I]] and [[Act II]] tours, '''Loose!''' and [[Video: Papa|Papa]] foreshadows [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s post [[Act II]] tour band with only [[Michael B.]], [[Sonny T.]], [[Tommy Barbarella]], [[Morris Hayes]] (who wears a chain-hat) and [[Mayte]]. It may be a hint that it was the full band for the planned ''Act III'' tour in Japan and Australia that never materialized, but this is purely speculative. | | Being shot in mid 1993, between the [[Act I]] and [[Act II]] tours, '''Loose!''' and [[Video: Papa|Papa]] foreshadows [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s post [[Act II]] tour band with only [[Michael B.]], [[Sonny T.]], [[Tommy Barbarella]], [[Morris Hayes]] (who wears a chain-hat) and [[Mayte]].
