Trivia

  • Tickets for this show go on sale on Monday 29 August 1988 and initially are only sold in The Netherlands. After approximately two-thirds are gone the rest is sold in Germany.
  • As Prince wanted to televise this concert and felt the Dutch audience were most enthusiastic and responsive, he asked for tickets for this show to be sold primarily in The Netherlands. The initially idea was to stage an extra concert in The Netherlands, but a suitable indoor venue that could support the lighting rig suspended above stage for an in the round setup was not available, so the production was moved to Dortmund , not far from the Dutch border, instead.
  • The concert was broadcast throughout Europe, with an few hours delay. Italy (Rai Uno), The United Kingdom (Chanel 4), The Netherlands (KRO), Spain (RTVE), Sweden (SVT), Denmark (DKTV), Finland (TV3), Austria (ORF) and Switzerland (SFA). In France (Antenne 2) and Germany (SAT Eins) the show was televised the next day. It was said to have also aired in China and Russia, but it's unclear if the broadcast actually reached there.
  • Because the tour was still to venture through US, Canada, Japan and potentially Australia, the show wasn't aired there immediately. In Japan it first aired on 23 December 1988 on NHK-BS1.
  • The UK broadcast by Channel 4 was abbreviated by approximately 20 minutes, omitting Housequake, Slow Love, Adore, Anna Stesia, Intermission and a bit at the end, following Alphabet St., with the credits rolling.
  • The complete show later also released on home video (VHS) in two volumes Lovesexy Live 1 & Lovesexy Live 2, with volume 2 oddly containing the first half of the show and volume 1 the second. It was also released on laserdisc in Japan.
