Today, The Prince Estate and Legacy Recordings released Prince And The Revolution: Live, a remastered and digitally enhanced version of a concert film capturing Prince & The Revolution’s March 30, 1985 Purple Rain Tour stop at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. Video featuring the group’s “I Would Die 4 U” performance from the concert has been shared on YouTube and can be viewed below.
Prince And The Revolution: Live was originally issued on VHS. The concert film and accompanying audio are now available no CD, Vinyl and Blu-Ray for the first time. “This powerful performance by Prince and The Revolution has been remixed from the original 2” multitrack master reels and the film has been digitally enhanced onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound,” noted Legacy Recordings in a press release. “Prince’s late-career and Grammy-nominated recording engineer, Chris James, remixed the recently discovered source audio, which had remained archived in Prince’s legendary Paisley Park vault for over three decades.”
“I Would Die 4 U” was the fourth and final single released from Purple Rain. The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Prince used the song as a showcase for his dancing at concerts. Watch The Purple One display his dance skills below:
