If it doesn't happen on its 25th anniversary, then it might happen with wendy and lisa making guest appearances every now and again. A full fledged reunion would be very cool 2 see one last time. What do u think about this?

I think it's wishfull thinking but then - what's life if u ain't got nothing 2 wish 4! I would most certainly welcome a reunion.

I saw Bobby Z last year at Fist Ave. He took a picture with Muse2nopharoah


All I can say is that in about 4 years time, the entire Revolution, including Prince will look like they're having an Oakridge Boys reunion.

i hope not

prince has always looked forward

that band was never particularly magical live it was more studio

even tho parades my fave live gig

cept ONA!

I used to wonder about this. But now I just don't care.

rusty1 said:

not gonna happen.

Why? That ship has LONG sailed.

Not something I ever wanna particularly c.

No.

I think it's probable that some of them will play the odd gig with him now and then (as they all have at some point this decade), but I doubt they will ever tour together as a functioning unit. But to be honest, I don't think I would want to see it anyway. I like the way Prince always has new musicians with him.

2 Bii Honest I Dont Think It Would Bii That Big, But I Think It Would Tug At Peoples Heart Strings 2 See The Purple Rain Crew Back 2gether Again....

It Would Bii Like If The Jackson 5 Did Another Tour: Not That Good But Still Bring A Tear 2 Ur Eye 2 See Them Cuz It Was Such A Big Part Of Our Past..

Id Go See It..I Probley Wouldnt Enjoy It..But Id Go See It....

A one time, special small club gig for the fans?..That would be fun.

A new CD, new songs and a full fledged reunion tour?..No.

I don't think it's going to happen but if it did it would be a very big deal. People who say otherwise could not have been around during the Revolution era.

Are you saying you wouldn't want a new album and tour with The Revolution?

To be honest with you LinnLM1, sometimes people can't go back home. The energy, vibe, and power that they had from 84 to 86 I don't think can be duplicated today. To me that band was real special.

Now if P could put together a new project with Wendy, Lisa, Shelia, Kat Dyson and Rhonda, that would be pretty slammin'.

My girl toots is always on my case

SPYZFAN1 said:

Likely that.

why would they duplicate energy?
they should play like they are the revolution of today not like nostalgic act.
i think they would sound great and they would inspire prince
imagine the setlist
uptown
lets go crazy
why you wanna treat me so bad

take me with you
when you were mine
computer blue
when doves cry
little red corvete
raspberry berret

These are Prince decisions. I like all of the music.

Yeah,
but how else will a dead horse learn?

You should have gone to the Family Jamm. It was awesome.

No, I don't think it will happen.

I am not sure what purpose it would serve.

The Revolution was a nice concept for the Purple Rain movie, but I found I preferred the songs that Prince did without the band at the time.

Parade is probaly the best music that group of people created and I was glad when they disbanded. I was ready for a regular Prince album by the time Sign of the Times came out anyway.

If Prince wants it to happen then it will.

Who knows?

no.

banished one you're saying "they shouldn't be a nostalgic act" but you listed
all those old songs for them to play. Again if it was a one time thing, then cool. Like Miles, I've always respected P for moving foward with his musicians.

old songs in new more relaxed matured arangmants

his ego would NEVER allow that to happen.

A reunion would have been exciting if it had happened sometime in the 90s.I think too much time has passed.The 80s revival is just about over They missed their golden opportunity.

No. As a JW he has a problem with jews and homosexuals....not nice to hear, I know, but true.

That is funny Wendy has performed with him in the past year - 2 years on stage with him and hasnt bothered him Actually he requested her to play with him on several occations PLUS he performed at the Brit Awards with Wendy and Lisa And he was a JW WHILE he performed with them From what I read awhile back Wendy is also jewish(her father is at least)

care to explain?

Edited to add he even knew W&L was lesbians WHILE on Parade tour,prolly while on PR tour ( rumour has it), and yet he STILL performed with them PLUS he wanted their help on the PE album.

Prince changes his mind about ALOT of things.Prince beleives what he wants to beleive.IMHO your JW statement is
