A transfer of this onto a DVD would no doubt be better than the DVD quality.  Laser discs were amazing in quality - some say better than DVD.     I believe this and TCOMLC were the only laser discs published.  Shame the technology didn't last until Live in Memphis.

Live in Brunei has a Laser Disc too...

Really?  How is that possible if it wasn't a legit release?

it is legit... but a VERY limited release... the sultan gave a VHS or a Laser Disc as a gift to those who attended the event...

the same for Whitney concert, and all the artists who sang for him...

I assume he had permission of the artists or record company to do so...

Prince's version of With This Tear:

 

 

 

"With This Tear" is the 13th track (and 12th song) on Céline Dion’s 17th album, Céline Dion (her second English-language album). The track was written by Prince, but was re-recorded by Dion’s own musicians for release.

 

Although specific recording dates are unknown, basic tracking took place in January 1992 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, during the same sessions that produced Born 2 B.R.E.E.D., In A Word Or 2, The Continental, Damn U, The Flow, Qualified, and a revised version of Sex. Clare Fischer arranged and recorded orchestration for the song at Mad Hatter Studios in Los Angeles, California.

 

The song was originally written for Jevetta Steele, though it is unclear whether she ever recorded a version. It was later submitted to Céline Dion, who recorded her rendition on 12 January 1992, produced by Walter Afanasieff. The track was added to the album at the last minute, replacing Dion’s planned cover of Calling You, a song made famous by Steele in 1987.

 

In 1993, a short excerpt of With This Tear appeared in a segue from Carmen Electra’s self-titled album, presented as if heard while scanning a radio dial (alongside clips of Hit U In The Socket, In A Word Or 2, The Voice, Sexy M.F., and Goldnigga).

 

Prince re-recorded the song with the group Milenia in summer 2001 at Paisley Park Studios. This version was intended for Milenia’s debut album but was ultimately omitted when the project evolved into Our Story (2002).

 

Prince’s own guide vocal version of With This Tear, recorded between 1990 and 1992, was one of the Vault tracks slated for inclusion on the planned Diamonds & Love compilation, expected from The Prince Estate in 2022. That project, initially covering material from both the Diamonds and Pearls and subsequent eras, was later narrowed to the Diamonds and Pearls period, excluding songs recorded after October 1991, and With This Tear was therefore omitted.

I thought she recorded this at the Morin Hights Le Studio in Montreal,  on the same day she did Show Some Emotion,  there are ideos about it

I don't remember exactly what she said, but when Prince's version was released, didn't Céline write that she was happy to finally hear his version? Or something like that? 

If that's the case, it is weird because from what I understand , it was the demo she got (maybe not the mix, but clearly the vocals)

I think she meant hearing it gets shared with the world, not that she heard it for the first time
