La chanteuse crossover superstar Sarah Brightman accueille le nouveau millénaire avec un sens audacieux de sa niche musicale unique dans ce concert live, La Luna enregistré et filmé au National Car Rental Center, Fort Lauderdale. S'inspirant largement de son CD du même titre, le matériel touche à des images de la lune qui renforcent son ambiguïté en tant que force connue pour rassembler « le fou, l'amant et le poète ».

Après 15 années de carrière la Warner Bros à tenus à sortir une compilation ou un best-of de son protégé. Une idée qu'il ne partagea pas du tout, ce conflit est un des premiers qui va entrainer l'émancipation de Prince. C'est sans son accord et après son changement de nom que la compagnie sort The Hits / The B-Sides et cette vidéo qui contient une sélection de clips. Ceci a permis aux fans de trouver ou retrouver, avec une image et un son parfaits, des clips assez anciens comme ceux de Uptown, Dirty Mind ou Controversy. On s'aperçoit alors que pendant très longtemps, les clips de Prince n'ont été que des extraits de concerts ou de répétitions (1999, Little Red Corvette).
