No... sounds like you're describing the AMA's from '85... which, to this day, is the best EVER, performed version of Purple Rain.

I agree with you, the AMA '85 version is mind blowing. What I wouldn't do to find another copy of that.

And the DUMBASS Award goes to...

ME! mad

I grew up in Syracuse, and I can remember the night of that show, driving to the Carrier Dome to pick up my friend's girlfriend after the concert. I sat with him in a parking lot going, "Look at all these losers!"

I just didn't get it...

Oh sure, I remember being blown away by the guitar solo in Let's Go Crazy (cause it reminded me of the heavy metal I was immersed in at the time), and commenting on how awesome it was, but beyond that I blew it off as crap. It took me years to get educated, and to really understand.

Since then I have become as obsessed as anyone I have met, and have seen tons of shows, but I still regret missing that opportunity.

Will you all forgive me? sad

What should I do... therapy, penance, reparations?

Always shove your opinion on people? That's YOUR favorite version.

He is right!

No other version comes close 4 emotion and intention. Well cept 4 the Syracuse one itself.
