Prince’s Grammy Award-nominated concert film ‘Prince and The Revolution: Live’ has been remastered and remixed for a new release.
Restored from the original 2” multitrack master reels, the film has been digitally enhanced onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound.
The March 30, 1985 ‘Purple Rain Tour’ stop at Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome was beamed to millions live via satellite and has since gone down in history as one of the most iconic live recordings in pop and rock history.
The new release of ‘Prince and The Revolution: Live’ will be available June 3 and marks the first time that the concert will be available on vinyl (as a 3LP set) and on CD (as a 2CD/Blu-ray set).
Also due for release is a limited run Collector’s Edition of the iconic performance, available exclusively from the official Prince Store. Housed in a luxe foil box, the set includes the remixed and remastered audio pressed onto 3 coloured LPs (purple, red and gold), 2 CDs, the Blu-ray film, an expansive 44-page book complete with never-before-seen photos of the ‘Purple Rain Tour’, new liner notes highlighting stories and memories from all five members of The Revolution, and a limited run 24 x 36 poster.
“Listening back to that Syracuse show, I’m like, wow, we sound like a freight train just coming out of nowhere,” says The Revolution’s BrownMark.
“That was powerful. I’ve been to a lot of concerts, and I’ve never seen anything like that.”
‘Prince and The Revolution: Live’ is available to pre-order now.
