49: Sign o’ the Times (1987)
In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Prince rose to stardom. His relentless energy and subversive sexuality during his live acts impressed both crowds and critics. The concert film Sign o’ the Times was basically a recreation of the album. It was intended so that fans who couldn’t get concert tickets had the next best thing.

But, it wasn’t easy to get a hold of. After being released as a limited theatrical run on video, the artist took it out of circulation. After Prince passed away, the film was randomly aired on TV, which got people talking about it. It’s incredible to watch a revolutionary musician during his heyday, bringing audiences into his intense rock gospel music life.
