Documentary “First Avenue: Closer to the Stars” features Prince anecdotes

https://www.twincities.co...niversary/

.

TPT will premiere the terrific new documentary “First Avenue: Closer to the Stars” at 9 p.m. Monday. It will also be available for streaming on the PBS Video app and via tpt.org.

.

.

“Closer to the Stars” traces First Avenue’s history, from the hippie era to the disco days to “Purple Rain” to indie rock to today. It also examines the times that the “pirate ship that goes nowhere” nearly closed its doors.

I haven't watched it all, but around 19:20 there is a section of Prince anecdotes.

Just over 33 minutes in they start talking about Purple Rain and what it meant for First Avenue.

Haven't watched this documentary yet but I do know First Avenue has/had a huge room full of video tapes of many, many of the shows that occurred at the venue. Shelves full of them.
