Description
James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome—the Purple Rain Tour performance that was beamed to millions live via satellite and captured for posterity in the Grammy Award-nominated concert film Prince and The Revolution: Live, and has since gone down in history as one of the most iconic live recordings in pop and rock history. For the first time, this powerful performance by Prince and The Revolution has been entirely remixed from the original 2” multitrack master reels, the picture has been newly restored onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound and the audio will be made available for the first time physically. The new version of Prince and The Revolution: Live will be available on 2CDs plus the Blu-ray with a 24-page book with never-before-seen photos of the Purple Rain Tour and new liner notes.

Nice to get an upgrade from the DVD included with the PR deluxe...hard to believe that was 5 years ago already.

We now have the tracklist up in the first post, and we also have this audio sample:

Love the sound on this. The guitars have a nice dirty scuzzy sound, like the world's biggest garage band.

The Amazon Canada link in the first post is now live as well.

I've added a packshot to the opening post.

Also, the full video of "Let's Go Crazy" was just uploaded to YouTube:

There's also a super deluxe box available from Prince's web site - includes vinyl and a book w/unreleased photos, and a bigger price tag.

Tricky Kid brought our attention to an error in the Blu-ray tracklist that Sony had originally solicited. I've updated the opening post with the correct tracklist.

I'm going to pass on this one. After seeing the DVD in the Purple Rain set, I am very skeptical that they can really do that much with the video outside of "noise reductioning" the hell out of it which wouldn't be a net improvement IMO.

Jason Michael · 30 May 2012

I agree there's not much chance of the picture being improved, but I like sound of the remix so I'm getting it for the CDs. They'll get far more play than the Blu-ray in my house anyway.

Two more samples from this release:

ted262 · 22 Aug 2004

This showed up on my door yesterday, so I’ve got it on the big screen 5.1 system. The sound is definitely good, with the guitars and bass very present in the mix. The picture definitely shows the limitation of the source.

You can definitely tell they’d been on the road for a bit as the band is ridiculously in sync - not just tight as a band, but also movement on stage. Very enjoyable so far.

Jason Michael · 30 May 2012

Currently playing CD 1.I really love the mix on this release. Nice balance and you can really appreciate the interplay of the band, and as ted262 stated, they are really tight. Great performance. Some of Prince's coy, seducing the audience bit is even more insufferable without the visuals (to my surprise), but heck, it's Prince, I'll give him a pass. A terrific release.
