#PurpleRain35 Purple Rain (the album) turned 35 on 25 June

To celebrate Purple Rain (the album) turning 35 years old on 25 June, Yahoo! Entertainment spoke to The Revolution: https://www.yahoo.com/ent...00076.html

The Revolution recalls making Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’: ‘He was frantically telling us we were making history’

“He was frantically telling us we were making history: ‘We’re making history tonight, this is history tonight!’” says Revolution drummer Bobby Z., recalling the night they shot their concert scenes — some of the greatest live footage ever caught on film — at the Minneapolis club First Avenue. It was then-19-year-old guitarist Wendy Melvoin’s very first public gig with the Revolution in 1983 (incredibly, three of the recorded performances from that night made it onto the Purple Rain soundtrack album), and she also says she had an idea, even that early on, that her new boss was on to something special.
