http://www.startribune.com/prince-amp-the-revolution-survivors-talk-about-first-avenue-grieving-concerts/391346091/

Regarding the article Motherfunka linked to above about the upcoming Revolution shows at First Avenue, the article quotes the band members as saying they felt left out because they weren't invited to the private funeral, so getting back together has been part of their grieving process of carrying on without their leader, our beloved Prince.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune has written an article updating what the members of the Revolution are doing in their lives now. For those of you going to one of the 3 sold out shows, we are with you in spirit, united in our love and appreciation of Prince.

I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

Yeah I'm pissed they're opening the Park in October. Well means I have to go back. Thursday can't get here soon enough. And I'll just go look at the fence this trip.

Atlanta Bliss retired...
Miko was off the radar, he performed with Sheila E and he has never appeared with her again, he was the Family's guitarist and he never appeared with them.
I was told by one of the musicians that after he left Prince's camp he disappeared, did Miko ever reach out?

Isn't Miko living in Ibiza now? There's a few recent clips of him there on YouTube.

Yes he is

Atlanta and Eric are good friends, and Matt retired in the early 80s after the Lovesexy era

IDK, maybe i'm wrong. there are photos of the band rehearsing and Eric is there with his sax

Then why not Atlanta Bliss and Miko? They were essential to the sound of the extended Revolution. Oh I forget,Eric hangs out with the Melvoins,Miko and Atlanta does not.

They will do it right! -iii<

Questlove to spin Prince dance parties after the Revolution's concerts

In true Prince fashion, the partying won’t stop when his Revolution bandmates finish their three tribute concerts at First Avenue later this week, and some special guests will show up, too.

Questlove of the Roots and “The Tonight Show” will DJ for the after-parties on Friday and Saturday night at the club, while local spinmeister Jake Rudh will also head up a late-night dance fest following Thursday’s gig. The parties -- scheduled 11:30 p.m.-2 a.m. each night -- will be open to all Revolution ticketholders, and a limited number of extra tickets are on sale now for $10 via First Ave outlets. First Ave also released a small amount of extra tickets to the Revolution shows this morning.

Along with the dance-party announcements, First Ave also confirmed that Prince’s “Purple Rain” co-star Apollonia will also appear at this week’s Revolution concerts. Both Apollonia and Questlove have appeared with the Revolution’s members in recent years at First Ave for drummer Bobby Z’s My Purple Heart fundraiser shows.

Well-known as a Prince fanatic, Questlove planned to spin a Prince tribute set

Cool work though. I didn't know at first who did the designs so I was little cautious of whom to credit.

I will be there for all three shows and look forward to meeting org members from all over the world. I plan on meeting up with JediNation Saturday and will probably meet more of you at the Depot or in line at First Ave. My first concert ever was The Purple Rain tour in Philly November 24, 1984. The Revolution hold a very special place in my heart and this will be the first time I've seen them in concert since that show. I've seen Prince more than 20 times since that show, but cannot wait to finally see The Revolution again. I feel like a little kid the night before Christmas! For those of us fortunate enough to be going, I look forward to meeting you at the shows! I plan on taking pictures and notes about the shows and will share with everyone on my blog when I'm back home.

Next stop: MPLS!
