Purple Rain Tour (What's ur top 5 shows?)

I am a huge fan & a huge collector & 2 be honest, the Purple Rain is my favorite era, I can rock 2 it, I can hear the change the of the person let alone the band & in my opinion, the Revolution is, was & always be the epitome of what made Prince who he is. 4 What u have, name ur top 5 Purple Rain Tour shows!

Mines r:

1. Chicago Rain (Rosemont Horizon 12-9-1984)

2. LA 2-23-85 (Inglewood Forum 2-23-1985)

3. Prince and The Revolution Live (Syracuse Of The World 3-30-1985)

4. The Purple Finale (Orange Bowl 4-7-1985)

5. Cow Palace 3rd March 1985 (Cow Palace 3-3-1985)

Once I Start Loving U, Baby, I'm Gonna Never Stop! Never Stop! Never Stop, Never Stop, Never Stop, No!

I can't believe that the Jan. 4, 1985 Atlanta date is not in your top 5. That one is probably my absolute favorite one, followed by the LA date, the "finale" in FL, and Syracuse.

I was never a huge mark for the PR tour. It was cool and all, but it was one of my least faves of the 80s. I think it came from being 'Purple Rain-ed" out, if you get what I'm saying. Way over-exposed!! The constant highlight for me was the Baby I'm A Star performance for each night.

That's the thing, Atlanta '85 is a great show, it did hit the mark & almost made it 2 my top 5 but didn't cuz it was a thing in my ears, love it but like u, Atlanta'd out! What hit me is with that show was The Beautiful Ones, I Would Die 4 U y Baby I'm A Star y In my prospective, These 5 show what made it was heavy with surprises, they hit hard y especially LA 2-23-85 give me a workout
