The first couple of times they played these songs without him had to be SO hard. Can you imagine the emotions? Glad they were able to soldier on and keep the music playing. As far as the musical connection to Prince goes, NO ONE could be closer than the REVOLUTION 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Prince & The Revolución marco un antes y después en el pop & rock de los 80' que hasta hoy perdura con su música que hasta hoy nuevas generaciones la escuchan Prince forever!!
I love that Wendy comes out wearing jeans and a pullover, looking like she was just kickin' it with some friends, when the thought occurs to her: "Hey y'all, since we're all here, do you wanna go over to the club and jam?"
Wow they still have it. First and foremost let's give a moment to Prince rest in peace ... I think they still have it and no live concert is done exactly like the Original version note for note . When I saw this video all the memories came back Keep up the good work and Long Live Prince and the Revolution!!!!
Agree completely, prince was a supreme instrumentalist, an incredible showman and an electrifying performer, nice tribute but the musical world is not the same without the genius that was prince.
Leon White he's right now princess looking down at those guys and he's telling them keep it going don't never stop Prince would have wanted them to keep going Carrie home see all the good songs that they use the same together princess so Prince right now is so happy about those guys to keep it alive keep it going never stop God bless Prince man I miss him to this day I still think about him
Yes indeed, Prince worked them HARD and LITERALLY WHIPPED them into shape as he CARRIED them on his tiny shoulders in the hey day before firing them. He made them BELIEVE they were "superstars" and better than they really were. The PROOF is in the pudding. That is the reason the promoters feel they could ONLY play small clubs like "House of Blues", B.B.KINGS, burger joints and other small venues across America. They are NOT up to the level of playing stadiums or doing a FULL BLOWN tour like when with Prince !! NOT the same. They are just a geriatric cover band now at BEST !!!
they are musicians. They don't need Prince to work them hard. Also this was messy, I've heard high school guitarist play better than this, especially the second half of the solo.
...firstly.... bang on... for Wendy still kicking booty...... not easy from the days.... it is best not to try and venerate the scenarios or context of the situations it was hard going..... (venerate means to thin more fondly of place... item... person...thing than it may actually have been in reality....)... so firstly awesome for still kicking it..... Rogers Nelson was one of the greats.... really played a massive role in my early life.... i do dig this song...... it is passioante... it is pretty dang on.... (on i guess kind of means awesome.....)... anyways.... keep the strings and strings still vibrating and flying......
I don't like Covid-19 and the fact people loosing thier lives. But the GREAT thing about this pandemic is that its stopping this band from being out there BUTCHERING up Prince's songs !!

This is one his tightest song. They let guitar literally sing. My favorite part of the song comes in at 3:25
If mean when Prince would do his so-called solo yea that's my part too is something about that when the electric guitar be playing
Could have managed to mix your sweet sounds seamlessly with leads. Only takes volume limiting and fades. For real.
My favorite
Same, best part at 03:25 for me. Impossible to forget....

Saw them in Detroit this summer. Excellent show. damn near brought tears to my eyes
Fink is still wearing his surgery uniform... classic!
On point
Those women are amazing! Period. Wendy and Lisa. I wish I would have been at this concert.
Hoping they tour again, very tight show, great crowd!
Seeing them in July. I'm so excited!! I know we'll all feel the Purple One there💜

props to the one and only girl in the crowd rockin out to this jam the whole time
Really one of his best tracks ever!! Just can't hold still, gotta move.......
I honestly think wendy doesn’t play that solo in prince’s key out of respect. Clearly she can play that riff but she’s holding back.
She NOT holding back she just CAN'T play it correctly !!
Im not saying the revolution sounds bad they still got it but to me it’s not the same without prince 😞😭
Sarah Gill I'm so 😢 I miss him so much
I’ll come out and say it....it simply was a great cover. Id probably rate it around a C. Give it a B minus at best.
Yup. It is not it
Agree completely, prince was a supreme instrumentalist, an incredible showman and an electrifying performer, nice tribute but the musical world is not the same without the genius that was prince.
Wendy is helluva guitarist!!!
I still have my ticket stub from that night.
I love love the Revolution it sounded just perfect but without Prince it's just sooooooooooo bloody sad half expect him to appear 😫😫😫😫
Wendy is still a bad ass guitar player
Yes she is.
Yes Lisa
I've had a crush on her since this album
LOVE this!!!
Prince a seed that fell to the grown yet forever alive produced some great artist !!!
he would have been proud!!
Leon White he's right now princess looking down at those guys and he's telling them keep it going don't never stop Prince would have wanted them to keep going Carrie home see all the good songs that they use the same together princess so Prince right now is so happy about those guys to keep it alive keep it going never stop God bless Prince man I miss him to this day I still think about him
THEY ARE GOOD BUT WHEN HIS ROYAL BADNESS HITS THE STAGE ITS MAGICAL
Well, maybe HE'LL be the angel for the next musical prodigal genius - if there is another.
This is amazing 😊
Wendy and Lisa were kind enough to repost it on their Facebook page shortly after, too 🤙🏼
They did play great.
You know Prince worked them hard. . . Let's be honest.

Bruh. Computer Blue tho? How dare you? But y’all did it well! Do y’all come to DC?
Is Lisa in this??
Yep she’s there :) behind Bacon, to Bobby Z’s left
Who’s the second guitarist
Rob Bacon 🎶🙌🏼
Where was this, please?
Metro, Chicago, IL
Is that Jesse?
No but that would’ve been amazing - BrownMark is singing and playing the bass, with guitars by Wendy and Rob Bacon
Who is the extra guitar player on the right?
Brenda Berry Rob Bacon (a vegetarian, as Wendy let us in on). He brings a great game to the line up.
Two guitars and 1 bass is how it should be.
