The rehearsal of "Summertime," centered on Prince’s piano playing, is wonderfully jazzy. Also included is a rare guest appearance on Sheryl Crow’s "Everyday Is A Winding Road," where Prince shines on both guitar and vocals. Additionally, there is a highly edited, yet valuable, pro-shot video of "Act I" (featuring visible timecodes). The 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival footage is also pro-shot; it captures a rare collaboration between Prince, the NPG, and GCS (Graham Central Station). Prince plays keyboards on "I Want To Take You Higher" and showcases his rhythm guitar skills on "Tell Me What It Is."

Also featured is the historic press conference held on May 16, 2000, at the "Rivers Club" in New York. In his own words—blending humor with sharp, incisive commentary—he discusses his decision to return to his birth name, "Prince," and addresses the rights of artists within the music industry. (Please note: there are no Japanese subtitles.)

The press conference held on October 12, 2009, at the Hôtel Costes in Paris, is a highly intimate and relaxed 12-minute session. In it, Prince speaks with reporters about his two highly successful impromptu concerts at the Grand Palais the previous day, as well as Paris Fashion Week. During this session, Prince makes several specific and striking remarks—some of which have become particularly well-known among his fans:
● His tribute to the city of Paris. For Prince, Paris was a unique source of inspiration; he once praised the city’s distinct atmosphere in sensual terms—a sentiment that has since been cited in official tributes and collaborations. "Paris... it’s such an erotic city. And it’s a place that provides an incredible amount of inspiration."
● On the internet and the "value of music."
Although Prince was a pioneer in using the internet for music distribution during the 2000s, by around 2009, he had become highly critical of how digital platforms treated music. "The internet today treats music as mere 'free data' or background noise. But music should inherently possess a more sacred value. I want my music to reach people in a proper way, rather than being consumed as disposable files."
● On his age and energy. At the age of 51, Prince had just delivered two full-length, high-intensity live performances in a single day at the Grand Palais, with another show scheduled for the following day. When asked by a reporter about the secret to his superhuman stamina, he replied with a mischievous smile: "Age is just a number. When I’m on stage, I feel as though I’ve transcended time. The source of my energy? It’s the music itself, my fantastic band, and the incredible vibes I get from the Parisian audience. They’re what keep me young." On his commitment to Fashion Week. During his time in Paris for Fashion Week—where he was spotted in the front row at shows for brands like Chanel—Prince spoke about the connection between his personal style and his music: "For me, fashion and music are inseparable. Both are forms of art centered on the question: 'How do you express yourself?'" "Seeing the creativity of Paris-based designers is truly inspiring; I’m always looking to incorporate fresh ideas into my own stage costumes."
This 2009 press conference at the Hôtel Costes captures Prince—genuinely enjoying the art and culture of Paris, and speaking with a relaxed, joyful demeanor about his own musical fulfillment—offering fans a delightful glimpse into his world and a rare, intimate look at his personal aesthetic.

*Rock Legends* is a globally acclaimed documentary series that explores the legacies of the great artists who reshaped music history, featuring incisive commentary from leading journalists and music critics. Among its vast archive, the 2015 installment, *Rock Legends: Prince*, is hailed by fans as a masterpiece—a profound and unflinching deep dive into the very core of his genius. Produced while Prince was still with us and actively demonstrating his extraordinary, boundless creativity, this film is an essential watch for any music fan. It offers a professional, analytical perspective on the groundbreaking nature of his music and the seismic impact he had on pop culture. The documentary features insights from prominent music journalists—such as John Aizlewood and Will Hodgkinson—who possess a keen, discerning eye. They define Prince not merely as a "rock star in eccentric outfits," but as one of the 20th century’s greatest musical innovators—an artist who fused funk, rock, pop, psychedelia, and new wave to fundamentally transform the very structure of modern music. This program explores the explosive energy of the global smash hit *Purple Rain*, the provocative *Kiss*, and the vivid, dark social commentary of *Sign O' The Times*. Through stunning archival live footage and music videos, it examines why these songs have transcended time—analyzing them with both rigorous music theory and a deep understanding of their historical context. At the heart of the program is the story of how a single genius, emerging from the snow-covered, local scene of Minneapolis, ascended to the very pinnacle of the global music industry. It highlights Prince’s "artistic independence and solitary aesthetic"—a multi-instrumentalist who, from his very debut, played every instrument himself to craft a flawless sound, entirely on his own terms. Through the candid critiques of contemporary journalists, the program reveals the intense hunger for global recognition and the overwhelming self-confidence that the young, then-unknown artist harbored. It traces how he rewrote the rules of the hit charts and held his own against other giants of the era, such as Michael Jackson—a thrilling look at the musical battles and business strategies that keeps the viewer captivated throughout. In the latter half, the focus shifts to his solitary rebellion against the massive machinery of the music industry—a struggle that unfolded in the shadow of his dazzling success. It details his fierce battle for creative freedom, including his decision to abandon his own name and engage in an epic conflict with his record label over rights. The program passionately illuminates his independent spirit, underscoring just how much he staked his life on gaining control over his own master recordings. This documentary highlights another monumental legacy Prince left to the music world: his uncompromising struggle, which paved the way for contemporary artists to assert their own rights—a contribution now viewed with profound respect by experts. Eschewing mere gossip or scandal, the film remains focused throughout on the intrinsic value of the music itself. It is permeated by a sense of awe for an unprecedented genius—a man who could play over 20 instruments at a professional level and left hundreds of unreleased tracks tucked away in his vault. The 46-minute journey—tracing how he shattered the boundaries of pop music to construct his own unique "Purple World"—is truly breathtaking.

The latter half consists primarily of audio recordings set against a backdrop of still images. It includes unreleased tracks, a live performance broadcast on the BBC in 1993, and the full one-hour program from that original broadcast.
