Prince/Mn, USA 1983

Recorded on the soundboard of the benefit concert held at First Avenue, Minneapolis on August 3, 1983, before the release of the 5th album “Purple Ren”! ! Mastering not only improves the sound balance but also scales up the live feel, which is GOOD! ! Disc 2 includes footage from the day’s rehearsal! ! Many interesting takes, such as relaxed and playful arrangements that cannot be heard at regular live performances and jams by strong members (including the 007 theme), are sure to be irresistible to enthusiasts. ! ! And on this day, they performed songs from the album “Purple Ren” such as “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Computer Blue,” “Electric Intercourse,” “Die for You,” “Baby I’m a Star,” and ” “Purple Ren” was performed live for the first time, and the official take of “Die for You,” “Baby I’m a Star,” and “Purple Ren” from that day was also used! ! It will also be the first live performance of Wendy Melvoin, who will become a popular guitarist, making it a must-see for fans! ! !
