Prince And The Revolution: Live

Castle Communications

Concert footage from the first of two shows Prince and the Revolution performed at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York during the Purple Rain Tour, 30 March 1985. This footage was simultaneously broadcast live to a TV audience of 12 million, and after the conclusion of the tour it was released on VHS as Prince And The Revolution: Live. The sales of that VHS are certified double Platinum by the RIAA, and topped the Billboard Top Video Cassette chart for 12 consecutive weeks.

In the year following Prince’s death in 2016, the footage was restored and released in DVD format as part of Purple Rain Deluxe on 23 June 2017. And on 15 May 2020, this version was streamed free on The Prince Estate’s official YouTube account, in support of the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organisation. The remastered audio tracking of this recording was also available to all popular streaming platforms from that date.
