On New Year's Eve 1999, Prince promoted his album Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic with the iconic pay-per-view special, Prince In Concert: Rave Un2 the Year 2000. It has not been broadcast since. Now, the Prince estate has partnered with Public Television to share this electrifying concert with everyone.
On Saturday, June 1, Prince In Concert: Rave Un2 the Year 2000 will air on PBS affiliates nationwide in primetime. Witness Prince as he guided his fans from one millennium to another singing timeless hits like “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Purple Rain,” and “Raspberry Beret,” and deeper cuts like “She’s Always In My Hair,” plus songs from Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic like “Baby Knows” and “The Greatest Romance Ever Sold.” Filmed at Paisley Park Studios, the special also features guest artists including Morris Day & the Time, Maceo Parker, Larry Graham, Rosie Gaines, George Clinton, and Lenny Kravitz.

Oof.

Not a good first impression for people that only heard of Prince in passing.

Great that it'll be available for everyone to watch for free. Unfortunately, one of the most poorly edited Prince concerts ever to see an official release.

That show had some great moments. It has my favorite live version of "She's Always In My Hair". It was also cool to see he and Lenny Kravitz jamming together. As Prince fans we can be a jaded bunch, but make no mistake, even this show this blows most artists of this generation out of the water.

Lol the estate is outdated as his "family" Funny how they all showed up in the end when they really had no contact with him for years and years and years...

Omar? Hahaha come on, how many times you think they both talked in the last 20 years.

I think it’s adorable that it’s going to be on PBS. They can’t really air SOTT I guess.

Never thought I'd see Prince on PBS...

Release it. Just kidding. It is good to reach different markets and to expand Prince's reach for his legacy.

Fantastic, I can't wait to watch it.

Very bland dvd. Many years back, I gave my copy to someone on Housequake.com.

I would just like to know how in the shiny moire fuck Wisconsin Public Television isn't showing this?

PBS in NYC will broadcast the concert on Thursday, June 27th, 9pm.

PBS isn't airing it locally on Saturday.

Instead of P, they are airing Josh Groban from Madison Square Garden

I did the pay per view thing back in the day, and didn't really think it was all that great. But, I was at my girlfriend's place, and she owned ferrets. I never have a good time with a ferret in the room, let alone multiples. Maybe I will appreciate it now that I am a little older, less distracted, and ferret-free.

So, this is only for those folks that live in NY or have some specially paid PBS stations??? Phish!!!

It's on regular ol PBS in Chicagoland.

It's on regular PBS in Arizona, too - which is where I'll be on Saturday. I wonder if I can get my parents (who are in their 80s) to watch it?

You must listen to a lot of Eric Stein podcasts. How many oofs would you give it?
