I read that parts of the Purple Rain soundtrack were recorded live?

I read that some parts of the Purple Rain soundtrack were recorded live at First Avenue. Does anyone have the details of which songs/sections?

The last 3 tracks are from the famous August 3rd '83 show at First Avenue (with overdubs and extra production of course).

The show is noted for several things - It's the debut of most of the Purple Rain material (as it was at the time inc. Electric Intercourse), it was also Wendy's live debut as part of the band, and it's also a kick-ass show.

Yeah the last 3 tracks. If you listen carefully you can actually tell because they have a bit of a different sound to the rest of the tracks, particularly the vocals.
