Purple Rain Tour Openers? All I have seen is Sheila E and Appolonia 6 opened. Did they do the whole tour, was Sheila always the middle act?, setlists? Seems you can find the Time and Vanity 6 video footage from previous tours, not looking for video, but just curious if anyone saw it live or how it went down, I enjoy Sheila a lot, but any concert footage of her is not from her as the opener as far as I can tell. Thinking she would be playing just a few songs from the Glamourous Life. merf | |

I saw Prince & The Revolution and Sheila E. opened! That was December 1984 @ Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (Buffalo NY). Apollonia 6 did NOT open! Jerome was there< because My Friend Wally & I met Him in the Buffalo Hilton Lobby! And He was COOL!!!!
In a PERFECT World, the Bill would have been Prince & The Revoulution, The Time (but Morris & Jesse were gone), Sheila E. & Apollonia 6!!

Appreciate the info, would have been great to see Sheila open for Prince, hopefully the crowd appreciated her.
From wilkipedia...In addition to Prince and The Revolution, they were joined on tour by Apollonia 6, and Sheila E. and her band
I guess I read that as both being openers, have the Syracuse VHS, they both join in on Prince's set.
Suppose Apollonia never really toured, oh well, sure like any Vanity 6 footage I have seen.
Nice that you met Jerome, I think I would have been overwhelmed to meet anyone from the Prince camp. merf | |

I was at that concert! . . Yeah Apples 6 never opened. maybe they came on at the Baby I'm A Star encore once or twice (like Syracuse). .
In contrast, Sheila and her band opened the entire tour, ,and always joined for the I Would Die 4 U/Baby Im A Star encore.

I've never known Appolonia 6 to tour with or open for Prince. When I attended Sheila opened. | |
