The Recording of Prince's Purple Rain (the song)

Came across this the other day, it's incredible. This is the performance that makes up most of what ended up on the album. It's amazing to watch.

Are you kidding? Then you missed some of Prince's best albums including PARADE, SIGN O' THE TIMES, THE GOLD EXPERIENCE, and several great cuts off of EMANCIPATION, COME, MUSICOLOGY, 3121, as well as side projects: THE FAMILY, THE GLAMOROUS LIFE, JILL JONES, etc...

Re: The Recording of Prince's Purple Rain (the song)
Well, in my defense, I was only 11 when Around the World in a day came out. I was wanting more "Let's Go Crazy" but instead got "Raspberry Beret".
I think I listened to it once or twice then threw it out. If that wasn't bad enough, the first single off the next album was Parade's Kiss. That's about as far removed from Let's go Crazy as you can get, and was enough proof to me (right or wrong) that prince was never going back to the sound that I liked.

I've been listening to this album since I was 14 and am at the point where I know it inside and out. So cool to see the live take and get an impression of how the final version was put together. That must have been a very special night for both the band and the audience. Thanks for sharing OP!

I'd also like to present for consideration: "The Black Album" and "The Beautiful Dance Experience"- a collection of the '94 "The Beautiful Experience TV Broadcast" (where the hell was it broadcast?!) combined with a few tracks from NPG's "Gold *****" cd. Good stuff though I don't believe it was a legitimate release.

Great video. I enjoy the trivia on the bottom as well.
What's funny is I'm sure many in that audience were thinking "Enough of the new cuts...I want to hear the hits! 1999!"
