James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New Yorks Carrier Domethe 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. Princes late-career and Grammy-nominated recording engineer, Chris James, remixed the recently discovered source audio, which had remained archived in Princes legendary Paisley Park vault for over three decades.
The limited run Collectors 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 Collectors Edition was designed by Grammy-nominated artist Mathieu Bitton and Grammy-nominated creative director and Prince associate Trevor Guy.

I love everything about this package. I bought it and it exceeded my expectations. The quality of the packaging and design is amazing. I love the audio and video, and the photography is amazing. I also love that the book comes with written notes as well. The box packages from the estate are amazing

I saw this tour in ‘85! The audio and video in this box set is beautifully restored! Thank you for a quality masterpiece! I think the standouts are the opening “Let’s Go Crazy”, “Irresistible B@&ch”, “I would die 4 u” and “Purple Rain”! The color vinyl is amazing as is the Tour Book!

Two words: absolutely incredible!! The packaging of the 'Collector's Edition' is phenomenal. The sound quality is stellar (makes you feel like you were there), and the nearly 20 minute, not one but two guitar solos, version of 'Purple Rain' is jaw-dropping! An absolute must-have!!

What can I say to describe the most dynamic tour of the era? Prince & The Revolution Purple Rain Tour set a precedent in entertainment that will never be duplicated.

Got this set as a Father's Day gift, from myself!!! A wonderful boxset and all the great photos and music. I've always wanted a legit release of this show with high quality and remastering....on COLORED VINYL!! Thank you, again, Paisley Park and thank you for museum tour recently and seeing all the great pieces, especially the Purple Rain room, which I could just sit there all day and take in the magical energy. Know Prince played basketball in that room!

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.
