| It is a fairly straightforward performance on the [[Lovesexy Tour|Lovesexy]] stage, filmed during the [[Lovesexy Tour]] rehearsals at [[Paisley Park Studios]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May_7|7 May 1988]]. [[Prince]] wears a polka-dotted blindfold (matching his polka dot outfit) and has an acoustic guitar throughout the performance. [[Cat]] dances around and with him, while the rest of the band mimic their parts on the stage. | | It is a fairly straightforward performance on the [[Lovesexy Tour|Lovesexy]] stage, filmed during the [[Lovesexy Tour]] rehearsals at [[Paisley Park Studios]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May_7|7 May 1988]].

They had also appeared in [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] and would later (in 1990) join the band for live performances. | + | Interestingly [[Eric Leeds]] and [[Atlanta Bliss]] are shown to play violins, rather than horns, as the (studio version of the) song does not feature prominent horns, but has (synthesizer) strings.

| A ''Love God'' stop sign insignia appears in the video, as does the text 'Glam Slam' painted on the stage floor. With the closing strains of the song [[Prince]] removes the mask. | | A ''Love God'' stop sign insignia appears in the video, as does the text 'Glam Slam' painted on the stage floor.
