What happens when a successful artist suddenly becomes a global superstar? For Prince, that transformation happened during his momentous Purple Rain Tour, which embarked at a moment when he had the number 1 song, number 1 album, and number 1 film in America. Host Andrea Swensson invites the members of The Revolution—Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Bobby “Z” Rivkin, Mark Brown, and Matt “Dr.” Fink—and friends along for a story about the Purple Rain Tour, from the red-hot premiere of Purple Rain to their impressive 98-show tour run, which sold 1.7 million tickets. This two-part podcast series will be your first chance to hear the newly remastered audio from Prince and The Revolution: Live, their historic performance at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York that was broadcast via satellite to millions and released as a Grammy-nominated concert film. The concert has been entirely remixed from the original 2” multitrack master reels by engineer Chris James and remastered by Bernie Grundman, bringing you closer to Prince and The Revolution’s electric performances than ever before.
