Piano & Microphone Experience at Paisley?

Everyone that was there on January 21st was part of one of the most special moments in his career. It would be great if they can show both shows on a big screen at Paisley for all fans who visit Paisley Park to get one of the most intimate moments in his career. The spirit in the room when everyone sang Paisley Park with him that night was something magical as were many other moments of both performances.

Both shows were recorded with a single stationary camera, not with intent to release, but rather most likely to study and learn from as a dry run. If it still exists, it's in the vault, and probably not worth much more than a fan cell phone recording. But yeah, that was an amazing experience. After the Tora Tora shows in the 90s, my favorite (paisley) concert.

As long the shot is high quality then it will be fine because it really is just him and a piano so no need for multiple shots. The audio will be studio quality. That stationary camera video is one of the most valuable and treasured items in the vault along with the video from the 2002 Celebration concerts. Remind me about the Tora Tora shows in the 90's.

I was at the second show and it was shot with three cameras, good show but his emotion on playing purple rain that night was so forced, I almost chuckled a bit seeing it close up. i heard him put the song down before at Paisley I just think he was tired of playing it.

I felt very lucky to see the first show that night. He never did another set quite that way. He seemed to be in a very open mood and wanted to offer some insight into his life. With only a few exceptions, he played the songs in a chronological order, ending the night with a beautiful rendition of Anna Stesia, a song I never thought I'd get to hear live. One of my favorite concerts ever (if not my favorite)

I think it's a great idea, if it's even possible. I wanted to go to one of those shows so badly. Tried to get tickets but they were already sold out 😢
It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN
