I always wondered if someone took the VHS of this and EQ'd it a bit and made it into a watchable DVD. It'd be nice to have the bass tweaked on this a bit, and the picture cleaned up a tad.

setlist?

OldFriends4Sale said:

Seeing these pics reminded me of the concert and how Sheila plucked some guy from the audience and tied him to a chair and sang to him. Years later I noticed Janet Jackson "borrowed" this act.

Your right, I totally remember reading about that back then and seeing pictures.
Janet did it on her Velvet Rope Tour:Rope Burn
and Tamar & the Twins did something like it during the 3121 years at a Tamar show

I always forget that a lot of fans weren't even born yet back then. It's a shame her set didn't get added to the official video release. At least there is an audio boot floating around with her whole set on it in perfect soundboard quality. Does anyone know if Apollonia 6 were at all the Purple Rain concerts or just some. For the life of me I can't recall if they were at the one I saw or not. I have some boots from different shows and you can definitely hear Brenda singing on Purple Rain (obviously the Syracuse show was one they were at).

motherfunka said:

no Apollonia wasn't on all of the tour shows,
If I haven't already I will post some pics of the show where you see them singing backup during I Would Die 4U/Baby I'm a Star

And there is a show or 2 where Apollonia is hugging Prince during a piano set possibly Take Me With U
