Purple Rain Shows - Which were recorded?

This is actually my first post!

I have one of the Prince And The Revolution in Atlanta shows on my hard drive. However I cannot figure out which date it was recorded. I know for sure it's not the January 4, 1985 recording cause I have seen clips of that show online. They performed there

January 3, 1985

January 4, 1985
January 6, 1985
January 7, 1985
January 8, 1985

Does anyone have an idea?

Most if not all were recorded. Many were filmed.

If it is soundboard, then it is the one that leaked, which I think was Jan 4. Unless the one on City Lights was not the one that leaked on video. I coulda sworn it was, but have not watched it in almost 7 years.

So, you could be the only one here with a rare show!

OK! I figured out what I got! I have a recording of the orginial January 4, 1985 concert in Atlanta! The show clip I saw was of I Would Die For You/Baby I'm A Star but from 1984, most likely the end of the year and possibly in Washington. Now I just have to find if the whole concert was filmed or just that clip! Of course it's no longer on YouTube, but luckily I managed to download it before it was taken off! The New York show was better, but this one didn't have the split screen thing during "When Doves Cry"..Bit blurry too..

So if anyone knows about that show!! The way I knew it was different was Sheila E was wearig a different outfit ( a gold lame halter in the clip, a white outfit in the full Atlanta concert!) Yea, I notice little details!

Atlanta is circulating on Dvd "bootleg"

Recorded at the Omni in Atlanta on 4th January 1985

Clearly pro-quality, albeit from a single position - so perhaps for closed-circuit broadcast. Excellent sound

Quality :EX- (9/10)

Total duration: 131:06

Track Listing

Let's go crazy
Delirious
1999
Little red Corvette
Take me with U
Free
Do me, baby
How come U don't call me anymore?
Let's pretend we're married
Father's song
God
Computer blue
Darling Nikki
The beautiful ones
When doves cry
I would die 4 U
Baby I'm a star
Purple rain

I have this on dvd, it look and sounds pretty good biggrin
