A reworked and re-released concert that captures Prince & The Revolution at their peak is coming next month.
NEW YORK — The first thing you hear is a familiar voice over the sound of thousands of screaming fans.The Purple One soon arrives, rising up through the stage — wearing an animal print jumpsuit with a ruffled white frock, a guitar slug across his back — as"Let's Go Crazy" starts."Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." he says.
The March 30, 1985, concert at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York, included the songs"Delirious,""1999,""Little Red Corvette,""Take Me Home,""Let's Pretend We're Married,""Computer Blue,""When Doves Cry" and"I Would Die 4 U," among others. "Prince and The Revolution: Live" will be released June 3 in a variety of formats, including digital streaming platforms, a three-LP vinyl version, a two-CD version and a Blu-ray of the concert film.
Prince fans have another reason to be happy this summer:"Prince: The Immersive Experience" makes its worldwide debut on June 9 in Chicago. It offers visitors the chance to explore his wardrobe, music influences and hits. Over the course of the performance, Prince makes several costume changes, jumps around the set's scaffolding, strips down to just pants and necklaces, writhes suggestively in a bathtub and drives the crowd crazy with such lines as:"Do you want me?"
Melvoin says die-hard Prince fans may have already seen bootleg versions but hopes that the new album and film can inspire other artists.
