New release Friday: Prince and the Revolution 1985 live album

The Prince Estate, in partnership with Warner Records, have released the live audio of Prince and the Revolution: Live, a concert captured at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY on March 30, 1985. LISTEN HERE

Originally released in 1985 on VHS and LaserDisc, followed by a DVD release included with the 2017 Purple Rain Remastered & Deluxe Edition, the audio from the concert has been remastered by longtime Prince mastering engineer Bernie Grundman, and is available officially in digital format for the first time across all streaming and download partners beginning today. Full track list below.

The release follows The Prince Estate's partnership with YouTube, which kicked off a three-day streaming event of Prince and the Revolution: Live, last night. An hour before the live stream began, fans participated in a special pre-stream Q&A with Revolution drummer Bobby Z., moderated by Andrea Swensson of Minnesota Public Radio’s 89.3 The Current. Members of The Revolution also tuned in, watching in real time and chatting with fans about the special concert. WATCH THE CONCERT HERE

Prince and the Revolution: Live will be available on Prince’s official YouTube Channel for three days only (through 11:59pm on Sunday, May 17). In collaboration with YouTube and Google, the streaming event is running in support of the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization (powered by UN Foundation and Swiss Philanthropy Foundation).
