the 1983 show (August 3rd, to be more exact) was the first public live performance of Prince & The Revolution. The concert was a benefit for the Minnesota Dance Theater Company. It was also the first time the band would perform several of what would become their signature tracks, most importantly Purple Rain.

You should watch this video. It is ten different kinds of amazing.
I’m not much of a Prince fan, but this video gave me chills. I don’t know why he doesn’t get the same kind of respect as MJ and Hendrix, because he’s the perfect fusion of both.
