'''Act I''' is part documentary, part 'rock soap opera' and part video compilation. Like the [[Home_Video:_3_Chains_O’_Gold|3 Chains O’ Gold]] home video released in 1994, it centers around the story of the [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] album, with some footage overlapping. Between (and through) the music videos for [[Video: 2 Whom It May Concern|2 Whom It May Concern]], [[Video: My Name Is Prince|My Name Is Prince]], [[Video: Love 2 The 9’s|Love 2 The 9’s]], [[Video: The Morning Papers|The Morning Papers]], [[Video: The Continental|The Continental]], [[Video: Damn U|Damn U]] and [[Video: 7|7]] the story is that of [[Prince]] slowly, but surely, falling in love with ‘princess [[Mayte]]'. This narrative is also used on the [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] album. Some slight extra parts of the story that are not in the [[Home_Video:_3_Chains_O’_Gold|3 Chains O’ Gold]] home video are revealed in this TV-special like [[Prince]] making out with [[Troy Beyer]] in a cinema at one point (with the movie [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarella_(film) Barbarella] playing) and him pushing her away in the middle of their making out because he can’t stop thinking about [[Mayte]]. The narrative is broken quite a few times throughout the special, by inserted interview segments with members of [[The New Power Generation]] explaining the story, talking about working with [[Prince]] and revealing that all the music videos combined are a 'rock soap opera'. | '''Act I''' is part documentary, part 'rock soap opera' and part video compilation.
