---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The film is pretty much a straightforward showing of a Sign O’ The Times Tour concert, with some scenes and vignettes interspersed to add a narrative. It follows the standard format of the tour although some songs from the concerts have been omitted. Culled from a standard set the songs featured in the film comprise Sign O’ The Times, Play In The Sunshine, Little Red Corvette, Housequake, Slow Love, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man, Hot Thing, Now’s The Time, U Got The Look, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Forever In My Life / It, It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night and The Cross, with the last two songs switched in sequence from how they were performed in concert. Girls & Boys (following Housequake), Let’s Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, 1999 (following If I Was Your Girlfriend) and Kiss (following Forever In My Life) are missing from the film. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Shooting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Initial filming was done on 26, 27 and 28 June 1987 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. On 29 June more footage was filmed in Antwerp, Belgium. Videofootage recorded in Paris on 16 June 1987 was also used. Most of the visuals used in the film however, were shot over six days, starting 18 July 1987, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, MN, mostly lip syncing to material originally recorded in Rotterdam on at least the last day, (23 July 1987, but maybe also on the other days) new audio was also recorded in front of an audience of around 100 extras.
