  • First Avenue opened in a former Greyhound Bus terminal in downtown Minneapolis on April 3, 1970. Originally called The Depot, the club brought in prominent national acts beginning with Joe Cocker on opening night.
    After a stint as a disco club called Uncle Sam’s, and then Sam’s in the mid- to late-1970s, live music returned to center stage. Acts such as the Ramones, Pat Benatar, Bo Diddley, U2 and many others performed at the reborn rock venue.
    Prince first played at Sam’s on March 9, 1981. Wearing a trenchcoat and shimmering bodysuit, he brought the crowd along for an energetic 95-minute set. On New Years Eve, Dec. 31, 1981, Sam’s was renamed First Avenue and a legend was born.

    In 2004 for my 9th birthday my parents took me to see Prince live. While listening to these records I shed a tear because I wish I could see him now at 28 and always thought I’d have the chance before he retired. Really sucks when the people who mean so much to your childhood and sing the soundtrack to your life. My hero isn’t on this planet anymore.

    Easily the most underrated Prince ballad. Complete classic.

    Seriously though, I never thought one of my favorite songs couldn't get any better. Then Prince was like "What if it was a 6 minute long Funk Ballad?"

    Seen Prince in 1981 @ The Saginaw Civic Center. Capacity was at least 10k. Actual attendance 500 or so. Greatest show I ever seen in my life. I felt like a thief. Miss my guy. 🙏🏼

    Man - that was funky! I have a lot of Prince music - yet this, was fresh to my ears and I love it! He can arrange his songs (and others) so many different ways.

      I think you can hear it right before he says the first "I'm just crazy for you." It sounds like it starts with a (excuse my french) "f#%k."

    According to The Current's article on May 15, 2016, that you linked, it said: "This week on The Local Show, we’ll be hearing the soundboard recordings of that First Avenue show, including a performance of “When You Were Mine.” Do you have any more of this show in soundboard quality? Maybe, from the broadcast of The Local Show?
