I was front row at Prince concert back in '84. He personally gave me his guitar pick he was using during show and I still have it in a safe til' this day!🎸
I always thought Lisa Coleman was just one of the prettiest women I've ever seen. I found her eyes to be intoxicating and her voice soothing. She's a kickazz keyboard player too. #Respect.
I hate that everyone tried to compare him to Michael. The two are separate artist who achieved their own unique sound and look. I prefer Prince but as a teen of the 80s I loved Micheals music too.
Yes but Michael did not come anywhere near the output of Prince. I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and love and respect them. Simply put Michael was a fine singer,dancer, and songwriter. Prince was all that and a multi-instrumentalist, and composer. Michael did write, he did not write many of the great songs that made him the “King of Pop.” (A nickname he gave himself btw) Rock With You”, “Thriller” “Off The Wall” Three of MJs biggest hits HE DID NOT WRITE! Prince wrote ALL his. Now years after both of their passing we get a constant stream of new music from Prince and a trickle from Jackson. This is like it was when they were alive, Prince cranks out new material and Michael slowly releases what he has.
I loved this video. I was 14 in 1984 and was smitten with them both. The talent at such a young age! Prince had the perfect band during this period. 84 was a great year to be young. It took me another 2 years before I saw him in concert. My girlfriend, who came to the concert with me, dumped me on the way there. So I had to stand next to her while Prince sang beautiful ones. Tough moment that ha.
Wendy was only still only 18!!! ,there,and already very accomplished on the guitar 🎸,,Prince💕💕we miss you!!!❤️❤️💕💕..Thanks for your time on 🌍,we wanted more!!
@@daddypop699 I may just do that, lol... I'm pretty much their age but had an enduring crush on them both since age 12 😁😰 Wendy is an *AMAZING* musician, and seems so incredibly genuine.
@@joshythehand2960 I read that the shocked/weirded-out faces she pulls earlier on in the video (very start of the second verse) were genuine, because she didn't know that Prince would get so close to her! Heh sorta funny. In any case, great song - beautiful artists, Wendy and Lisa. Prince was amazing!
Absolutely fascinating AND essential footage for the Purple Rain era! We get a snippets of the Greensboro concert! How cool is that! It appears Prince has every show filmed like this, as it looks very much like footage seen in local news stations ending segments when Prince had shows in each concert date, if not most. Very similar to the official LiVE '85 concert footage! Wearing his I Would Die 4 U cape no less here for the opener! Seemed a little looser also in performance and a slight mistake in Prince's attempts at a spin if you notice that, great footage and interviews too, love this kind of stuff! Thanks for sharing these obscure Prince vids!
I thought about something. Imagine for 40 years prior to 84. White Women talking about their love for Black Male Artists would've been picked apart. 84 their was two major Black Artists including the acceptable Lionel Richie. We thought America was finally getting it right. Especially after 54 when Elvis Presley broke out on the scene performing Black American music. They accepted Elvis Presley because of his color. But, the backlash Elvis Presley received were from conservative racist rejects. They couldn't take it that White Women was over the top for Black music. It wasn't just the women Elvis got. Some of the men too. The rest is history. Elvis Presley helped propel Black music into acceptance commercially. He definitely was a major contributor to the movement.
Where in the hell is all the concert video(s) and footage from the seemingly ENDLESS news outlets that published news clips about the purple ☔️ tour in 84/85 ???!!!
Nice video, but come on with the back and forth comparisons. It was Prince and the Revolution moment and that should be only said. Michael was extraordinary as well during the Victory Tour with his brothers which is and was still a extravaganza, but again this was prince and the Revolution moment. Geesh.
@@annalishagoring I guess so. It was room for both artists and both have even during this made there mark on the music industry. Michael with his legendary brothers made history then he went solo and had the best career ride ever in my opinion. Then Prince came along and he did what was unseen in many before him. Both are Legendary. Let them both live and enjoy their impact seriously.
I love how it's called "raunchy" for a man to wear as little clothing and as many sequins as the women on other pop stars' stages. He was an amazing booster of talented women instrumentalists, and I'll always admire him for that. And yes, he was sexy as hell. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that!
Prince almost slipped did anyone caught that. So professional and athletic he stopped it from happening. He wanted to do a back spin in them 6 inch heels which he used to rehearse in by the way. Just wanted to add that.
In the past i was a big fan of MJ untill i discoverd prince,now am a big fan of prince absulitly he's a genuis musician and the best entertainer a beast on the stage 💜💜
Politically correct marketing back in that era to say he was half white by warner bros. for sales to smooth him easier into white culture. Prince played along with the Italian idea in interviews. His real life black mother was played by a Greek woman in Purple Rain.
They got it wrong back then. His Mother isn't Italian. Really? He has Black Parents period. Prince is a Black man. I'm glad that Wendy said that to the confused media. The older generation didn't have to get it. I know it shocked the people that a Black Artist could get that big. It wasn't better than the Jacksons. It was just another member of the Music World doing his thing. Everyone has something to add to it. Why is Sex a bad thing. We are all here because of Sex. That was 1984. The majority were White that was commenting on him. A Black Man from North Minneapolis who worked hard and did well. These are the people who later would grow up and respect hopefully Black People. Things have evolved a bit. But as you know. January 6th 2021 tells us some weren't happy how it has evolved. But, people like Prince and Michael Jackson had another vision of the world. They achieved it. Because some of those people are still around from that era ,and they have children who they teach these lessons too. So Prince lives on and he had become greater than that time in 1984. He challenged his record company and wanted artists to own their masters, he was a revolutionary artist. That is why he is missed so much, people are seeing just how prolific he was ,even more than Michael Jackson. That doesn't mean Michael Jackson was'nt prolific. He made a major contribution to pop culture big time MJ. In fact his success made people want to pay attention to what our Royal Badness was up 2.Prince's body of work is incredible. But the ones we haven't heard in that vault is still yet to come.
one black dominant artist atop music's mt. everest was more than enough, they couldn't stand another one joining that lonely spot at the top and achieving what their white counterparts could only pretend to achieve!
It was a P.R. move he made up back then to try to cross over into the mainstream market. It sucks how he had to play up the whole racially ambiguous angle to gain worldwide acceptance. But that's how it was for Black Pop artists back then.
Wtf!?? "The bad boy of MJ"??? Lmfaoo not eveeenn CLOSE!!!! smh Prince was and always be PRINCE THE PURPLE KING!! And Michael will always be the KING OF POP/ROCK!! Two incredibly different artists of their times 💯
Watermark is too small....
😏😉😂
Yeah u can barely see it 😝
Video won’t be the same without it
Yeah also the opacity needs more % as can't work what is says 🤔☺, shame really, as would love top know who has the exclusivity to this, lol

Thats amazing! Thank you for sharing :)
Can you post a photograph of it please, on dropbox etc.?
Amazing!!!
Wow.....💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It could be worth a lot of money but don't sell it
I always thought Lisa Coleman was just one of the prettiest women I've ever seen. I found her eyes to be intoxicating and her voice soothing. She's a kickazz keyboard player too. #Respect.
First time I saw her in the 1999 video I was like 😍
Wendy was the coolest and sexiest chick I’d ever seen! 😍
She looks amazing in the video for 1999!
I agree with you bud. Lisa is sexy AF.
I felt that way about Wendy 😇🥰

Actually, she was about 20.
Wendy was born in January of 1964 ....
i would love to meet wendy melvoin.
Having met her as well as the rest of The Revolution after their concert when I saw them in 2018, I can confirm for you that she's very nice to meet.
you can message them on facebook
@@daddypop699 I may just do that, lol... I'm pretty much their age but had an enduring crush on them both since age 12 😁😰

Bro.. that smile when she goes into the acoustic riff in the "kiss" video.. 8th grade me fell instantly in love lol

Can you imagine if we could see a full Prince show today for $13 with Sheila E opening.
The last time I saw him (in 2011) it was closer to $130.
That’s dollar (and many other currencies) devaluation for you.
"He's entertaining but I wish I hadn't brought my son" - Ha ha, excellence!
Yeah. LOL. I think she may have had to have "The Talk" with him when they got home. 🤣🤣
@@smoothpants - He he hee, I reckon so!

I guarantee her son is glad now that she did

Oh how I wish I had seen Prince in concert...
The only thing that would ever be considered "raunchy" on that tour is his performance of Darling Nikki.
Saw the PR Tour at Nassau Coliseum in 85. Incredible first concert to go to
Great footage here.
Great review and segment!
I truly regret never getting 2 attend a Prince 👁️🚶♂️👁️ concert. I'm making up 4 that sheltered life now by being a true o(+> 💜 follower 😇 now! 🐾😽🐾
Saamee! I had several chances to see him.. and always put it off.... untill..
Reading this made me feel sad 😔
I saw him in New Orleans, Louisiana I'm 1985, Purple Rain Era ❗☔
He was a wonderful entertainer . A unique human being.
☁️✝️☁️ ☁️ rip Prince
Lisa Coleman 💕💕💕💕💕💕 Just gorgeous
I remember this time so well. Sad how time goes by. Wendy and Lisa are simply magical.
Yes, time flies. Doesn't make it sad, though...unless you're totally miserable now.
@@chiefscheidershut up.
They need to release the unrated version of Purple Rain
It was rated. At first it was a x rated then nc17.
It couldn't have been NC17. That rating wasn't introduced until 1990
I want to see the fight scene between Bean and Prince
They cut it.
What I love most is that WAZEE logo right in front...
Me too - it looks like everyone is wearing a transparent 80s argyle sweater on their face. 😄
“He’s No Donny Osmond”. The best endorsement you can get.

Sure WAS !
As always

Thank u 4 this! Check out the quick clip around 1:22 - is that Prince pummeling Jellybean?!?
Yes
Yep but the time kick his ass

💜
Interview literally doesn’t start until 2:50 lol, halfway through the entire video
$13.00 for the ticket price ! Wendy and Lisa and awesome!
Bob Sirott Chicago media legend...Prince GOAT
His mother isn't Italian?
Mattie Shaw, is a Black lady from New Orleans area
Correct 👍🙂
it was '84, they didn't know any better.. the movie was their only source
Back then Prince would say he was biracial so he can have diverse fan base
I love how it's called "raunchy" for a man to wear as little clothing and as many sequins as the women on other pop stars' stages. He was an amazing booster of talented women instrumentalists, and I'll always admire him for that. And yes, he was sexy as hell. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that!
"He's entertaining but I wish I hadn't brought my son"... there is the first Karen.
Glorious outfit Prince is wearing onstage.
Wow😍🤩
When I was young this was it. Bump mj. This helped me to get PANTIEES.
Prince almost slipped did anyone caught that. So professional and athletic he stopped it from happening. He wanted to do a back spin in them 6 inch heels which he used to rehearse in by the way. Just wanted to add that.
Lisa....😍💯🔥🔥🔥🌺🌺.
Saw Prince and Madonna concerts in '84 and didn't spend $30 for both tickets, unlike today's outrageous ticket prices.
Cute ❤❤
$13.00-$17.50 ticket price range. Today that show would cost twenty times that.
That 'wazee digital' bs on the screen throughout is totally cool. I love it. Why can't all youtube vids do tht? tsk
Tickets from $13 - $17...those were the days...
😁👍
13 -17 bucks now great concerts 3 tines as much it 18 -30 Bucks in the 70s the Bulk of my Concert days and that 13 for Prince
was that Steve Pool in the beginning?
I like Wendy's chin
Even better then MJ, truth.
😂😂😂😂
In the past i was a big fan of MJ untill i discoverd prince,now am a big fan of prince absulitly he's a genuis musician and the best entertainer a beast on the stage 💜💜
Str8 facts 💯
2:48 Lisa and Wendy interview
$13.00 - $17.50 was not expensive for the time.
✨🔥⚡💥😇👣💥⚡🔥✨ Frankie J Palacios ... Houston Texas 💫🛸💫 almost time to go back home ✨ see you soon Princesses
1:48 that slip lol
Good Heavens Lisa was so fine
Audio is too loud 🙄
Oh 13 - 17 dollars!!!
Wonder why Prince didn't charge more for his tickets that year... He would have still cleaned up...
he didn't wanna outprice his fan base, and since he was doing so many shows he didn't have to
FIX THE AUDIO!
Prince was black and Italian? 🤔
No. Both of his parents were Americans AND black.
A Snap At Best total 💩
Silly reporting took the film literally!
No
Politically correct marketing back in that era to say he was half white by warner bros. for sales to smooth him easier into white culture. Prince played along with the Italian idea in interviews. His real life black mother was played by a Greek woman in Purple Rain.
Wazee... I need Wazee..... Take my money....
That stupid logo ruins the video
That’s hilarious
They need to release the urinated version of Purple Rain…

Prince mom was the Queen 👸🤓
@1:31 a lisa look-a-like
@2:15 his mother was black 🤣... but this was '84 so i'll cut'em some slack
Wtf!?? "The bad boy of MJ"??? Lmfaoo not eveeenn CLOSE!!!! smh Prince was and always be PRINCE THE PURPLE KING!! And Michael will always be the KING OF POP/ROCK!! Two incredibly different artists of their times 💯

Lisa and Wendy🙌🏽🙌🏽and Mark Brown🙌🏽
Amazing they were like 20 y/o back then and playing with Prince on stage.
