OMG! Thank you Latin for posting this! My has the time flied! I stlll remember all the excitement from the movie Purple Rain coming out (starting to show my true age here). First time I noticed Apollonia's dad who is really a handsome guy. He doesn't look much older than his daughter at this premier.

cool to see Prince in this old clip...

Thanks for the memories

Awesome! Thanks Latin for posting!

Someone on the Org was there. They're briefly in the premiere video stuff on the DVD. I forget who it is, but an Orger is probably in the video, too.

I've never seen this vid, so of course I'm loving it. Ahh, 1984. It was a good year.

It was BlackGuitaristZ from the Org.

Who in the hell did Sheila E. bring for her date?

Oh the 80's!! The clothes, the hair, the music!!

Eddie Murphy said it best when he was asked by Mark Goodman why is he a Prince fan,

"Cuz Prince is bad... the movie's tough!" And the fans reaction when Prince walked down the red carpet - classic. Good times!

Thanx Latin.

This vid is more raw footage compared to what is on that DVD.

Great video. Thank you Latin.... And yes, what's up with Sheila E. and her date? Loved how everyone went berzerk when Prince arrived. I probably would have done the same thing.

Even Superman was fan

I can confirm this is different footage to the DVD.

1. Why was Apollonia dad mauling her? Eww

2. Who the hell was that escorting Sheila? A band mate?

Thank U Latin, Oh how I remember that night like it was last weekend. Think we all felt the same way as that girl screaming "I love you Prince" at the end. Having one of those melancholy musicolgy days missing P more than usual. Thank U for sharing Ur such a wonderful addittion to the org!
