James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome—the March 30, 1985 Purple Rain Tour stop 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 which 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 has been entirely enhanced and reconstructed: the original video source was rescanned, restored and color-corrected; and the original multitrack audio master reels have been remixed and remastered onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound. 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.
The limited run Collector’s Edition is available exclusively from the Official Prince Store. Housed in a luxe foil box, the set includes the remixed and remastered audio pressed onto 3 colored 150g LPs (purple, red and gold vinyl), 2 CDs, the Blu-ray video, 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 24 x 36 poster. The Collector’s Edition was designed by Grammy-nominated artist Mathieu Bitton and Grammy-nominated creative director and Prince associate Trevor Guy.

Me and the Kid go way back. Had my v-card pulled after taking a date to see the Purple Rain movie. Saw him on this tour and it remains in the top three concerts/shows I've ever seen (since you asked the other two are Pink Floyd on the Wall tour in '80 and Dua Lipa just this year.) Had an import VHS of this show that I played until it fell apart. This may be his ultimate live document. The fidelity is amazing, just punches you in the chest. The Blu-Ray gave me tears of joy. We need Prince now more than ever and he had never left us.

Like with the "Welcome 2 America" collection my focus was on the live Blu-Ray concert. The 2-3 concerts I attended in the Dallas, TX area were the best. He is the ultimate live performer + all the live music............I luv adding this 2 my Prince "home" collection....I've watched the DVD concert 12.31.99 "Rave Un2 the Year 2000........50-75 times...........it is the measuring stick of his talent........Welcome 2 America and Prince The Revolution.....just adds flavor 2 an already tasty treat.....

1st of all, I watched this on VHS and have to admit that I never focused on the performance until I watched it on DVD. Best performance I’ve ever seen. I love the overall packaging. It was a wonderful purchase.

This set is wonderfully put together. I got the deluxe with albums, CDs, Blu Ray and book/poster. I was a fan of Prince before Purple Rain which is weird since I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma. For me this concert is him at the height of his powers. Pre-name change with what I consider the best line-up he ever worked with, The Revolution. I've owned the VHS and the DVD releases but the clarity of the image and sound on the Blu Ray is a great improvement. Highly Recommend.

Best gift I’ve given myself in years. While I wish I could see him live in person one more time, the DVD is a great way to relive his concert performances. Sound quality is fantastic!!! Box set is beautiful.

19 minute rendition of Purple Rain. 19 minutes. What more do you really need to know?

Fantastic release! Growing up in South Africa in the 80's, this concert was almost impossible to get to see. Even 2nd & 3rd gen copies were scarce. This feels like a Holy Grail of sorts. The sound is simply incredible. I feel this could become the gold standard for any future release! Thank you!

I’ve been a fam, I’d say fam because Prince didn’t like the word fan. It’s short for fanatic, but I’ve been a fam since 1979. I was 8 years old. Saved up my lunch money, babysitting money to buy anything Prince. So I have A LOT of memorabilia. I love this box set but I’m afraid to open it. lol I more than likely will some day but what I see I’m in love with it. Side note, I’d love to have access to more of the unreleased material, rehearsal video, etc. I do Thank you for what you all have done and please don’t Elvis-Ize Prince.

Im in LOVE with everything about this release. The sound is fantastic. The video was great to see again. I love the book and stories, though I would have preferred a hard bound book, but thats just me being petty.
