Thanks!

So cool!

Only person who truly knows was Prince. Everything else is an interpretation. :)

@@thesolitaryadventurer Nah

Thanks Shawn, I did! It is streets ahead of England for food. I was shocked!

@@thesolitaryadventurer it’s a real gem.

You don't think the repurposing of a youth community center - created to help an area that saw racial aggression - into a police station... and that police station being the site of racial aggression some 50 years later is of interest...? Disappointing.

@@thesolitaryadventurer Not on this clip. It is unnecessary to force race and the farce of BLM into everything.THAT is disappointing if you want to call something or someone disappointing. This is supposed to be about early locations of Prince's life - several decades before BLM bullshit was even thought of. No one clicked on this link for that.

@@christophertracy2807 One line of text at the site of the very race riots that inspired a community center to be built. And that same community center was scrapped due to racial tensions and turned into a police station. I stand by putting it in the video. And I don't believe one section of the video negates the whole thing. Given Prince himself was a supporter of BLM, I don't hold an opinion on whether it is farcical or not. I don't mention BLM specifically. Get off your high horse.

@@thesolitaryadventurer Complete liberal bullshit. All that and more doesn't make it about Prince. It is not a high horse - it is high intelligence and knowledge of the truth. Look into it.

Thank you - it's really my pleasure to keep the spotlight on such a unique artist. There is another video (link in the description) that an LA fan made of the locations there. I was unable to make an LA one so I'm grateful someone else has taken the time to do so. For a film that put Minneapolis on the map, it sure isn't full of Minneapolis shots!

Thank you kindly. The pace that Minnesota changes its buildings, who knows how long some of these locations will continue to remain identifiable. I'm glad I was able to document them at this stage.

I can't even imagine such cold conditions! I've since heard Appollonia say she caught hypothermia in the two takes filmed in Minnesota - her jumping in. When she comes out of the water, it is LA as you rightly say. Grateful of some California warmth no doubt! Thanks for watching.

That and you would need a shot of penicillin after bathing in lake Minnetonka XD

I had hoped someone would jump on this and fill in some details... Alas. If it is mid-Oct 1983, it is likely Purple Rain. And I'd put money on the scenes around The Time and Appollonia 6 rehearsals. I was never able to track down their exact location but out towards St Paul would have been reasonable to me. If it is definitely 1982... the dates don't match up perfectly but he did film anitem called 'The Second Coming' which was meant to be a film. It is sitting in The Vault (and in some bootleggers' hands) and was an early attempt to work out the kinks in the movie filming concept. I'd argue that it pioneered his ideas and established what he would need to create a proper motion picture. So without it, we might likely not have Purple Rain. I know that's not conclusive but I hope it puts some items in context. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for your kind words. I used the Estate documentation following his passing to work out what property he owned as well as accounts from during his life around where he lived. As time passes, I believe the accomplishment of Paisley Park and what Prince managed to do as a (largely) independent musician will be his overriding legacy. I wanted to document some of this as close to his passing as possible before the buildings changed hands and changed appearance. Though time has passed since these videos were made, I feel very privileged to have made these. Thank you for viewing.

@@macvideouploads6612 i didnt but i do know that if it was true, then the warehouse was in Minnesota, somewhere around Minneapolis. Not LA

@@macvideouploads6612 ya I've brought it up to my dad, but he has yet to get in contact with his uncle (I wouldnt hold my breath) but I will make sure to let u know if I find anything out.

Was it out towards St Paul by any chance? See the other comments by Teddy Wong.

Thank you! The USA trip is done and the future travels are on pause for the moment. All safe and sound here. Keep safe and healthy. (PS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmO9oIKnZ9R2la8 shows the LA locations brilliantly)

100%

I hear you. My aim was to allow people to see in and around the area of each location rather than the same front-on view that photos come from. Personally I don't find it disorienting but I appreciate it would be for some. That's the last of the videos now. I hope you enjoyed them overall. Best wishes!
