The first time Purple Rain was ever played Here is an article about Purple Rain and a clip of the first ever performance at First Avenue. Maybe some of you have seen it, maybe not (I haven't, I only heard the audio), so here it is. Imagine being there and hearing this for the first time... https://faroutmagazine.co...otage/amp/ If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

https://faroutmagazine.co...otage/amp/ Thanks. I never want to ever hear that song again now  and it's because I'm never going to get a good enough cry to not feel that way about it.

'We love you very much.Good night.' That was wonderful to watch! Can't remember ever seeing that short purple coat before. I'm glad that Prince took out that verse about money as it really doesn't add to the song. Funny that he was including the kiss to Wendy's cheek at this early point in the performance of the song. Thanks for posting this!! | |

Awesome to have this...beautiful to watch. Hard to watch sometimes though. "Music is healing. Write that down first. Music holds things together." - Prince | |

I tear up just hearing the start of the music. Purple Rain is a hard one for me to listen to now. | |

Since a soundboard type audio came out of this show, someone needs to overdub it onto the video, so cut out those warbly parts. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

Indeed, therer's also a video on Dailymotion of this where it gets analyzed and the edits are pointed out.

It's so cool looking at that audience, none of them knowing how historic it would be. They never imagined people watching it nearly 40 years later. | |

Those people in the audience had never heard that music before . . . didn't know any of the words, or what was about to happen to Prince's career. They were all still in "1999" mode. |

MarcelS67, thank you. I've seen that video. No words...Those in the audience that night witnessed something very special even though it wasn't known at the time. I consider Purple Rain downright SACRED especially this "debut" live performance that was ultimately used on the album. "Music is healing. Write that down first.
