Computer Blue First Avenue Is it me or was that performance at First Avenue about the best thing ever put on film by Prince. In 1999 I bought a bootleg VCR tape of this show and played it over and over . Still my favorite moments are Computer Blue and DMSR. What are your thoughts?
This was the Minnesota Dance charity I'm referring to. . [Edited 12/28/21 23:38pm] |

It's a great performance I especially like when the Freddie Mercury looking guy in front row is smiling when prince is playing guitar solo in front of him | |

Film? So far I only saw video-sourced versions of this show. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

They filmed it . Great! . and a video of it is doing the rounds. What do you think of the performance ? . It is a debut of a lot of material. It is a different performance from the PR tour, so that is one of the reasons we `need` this. The idea of a world without knowledge about these songs, and then after that night, things changed... It's kinda monumental, without using words that are too big. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I watched this performance a lot since i get a copy of it in the 90's. Really historic! But what we need, is the 1984 First Avenue in video, i know some have it for years and this performance is really incredible! "You can skate around the issue if you like,
But who's gonna get you high in the middle of the night?" |

Yep, we and other here know the rough source and that is a gem in its own right.

That was an early 80's pro video camera, not film. Probably would look just only as good as the Revolution Live (Purple Rain Tour) DVD we got with Purple Rain deluxe. Remember that was as pro as it got back then with video tech and typical concert lighting. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

That´s a great version of that song, and most of the other songs he played that night sounded very special, too, such as A Case Of You , Electric Intercourse and When You Were Mine. That version of When You Were Mine is my all time favorite version of that song. And yes, Computer Blue sounded very energetic and raw that night. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

His eyes during the computer Blue Performance are stunning. And nobody rocked that hat and outfit like him during DMSR. One thing is for sure, he looked horny as hell that night. If he went home with somebody after, that must've been a wild night and a wild ride. | |

A dual release with First Avenue 1983 & 1984? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
