[@Nats0821]

Prince & The Revolution were and still are the biggest musical influence in my life. Wendy & Lisa made it cool "for a girl" to play instruments in my hood. Prince was the ultimate performer and he will always be missed...

[@aq1908]

Prince was at his creative best when he was with The Revolution.

[@stereomcees813]

Anthony Quinn He was at his creative best when he picked up an instrument.

Yes

[@Sunflower-uy4yw]

The interviewer is so good! She stays out of focus and gives the band their space and time to finish their sentences. Very unusual to see that in american shows.

for me, this band identifies with Prince far more than the other bands. along with Dez and Andre this was his soulmate band, they were born to be with Prince!

[@Passionate4music1]

Zrocs1 yasss I sooo agree 🎤🎸🎹💜💜💜💜 So NICE to see them together again.⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️

[@JAB5625]

The quintessential Prince sound was The Revolution without a doubt IMHO. The Wendy/Lisa vocals were so integral to Purple Rain... just a spectacular band all around.

[@coreyingram1052]

Zrocs1 True indeed! That was the sound of my early childhood years!

[@jddynamic4574]

That's because unlike the other bands The Revolution was immortalized in the movie Purple Rain.

[@kmecha7]

@Zrocs1 : I think its because the Revolution actually have an identity all its own. Just like the Time they had their own style and sound- they were a complete package. The other bands Prince had never developed their own definite image, not even NPG.

[@wendileona]

Yep. Prince gave ME the side eye when I peeked over the DJ booth at Glam Slam West in 1995 to catch a glimpse of him, I was like oh-boy...dropped back down, it was actually kind of funny looking back, but I GOT A PRINCE SIDE EYE! .::Moderniare

[@Lockdrumpfup]

wendileona I used to go to Glam Slam all the time back then!! Lived a few blocks from Paisley Park Studio. Would drive under the Graffiti Bridge going to work at a music store in the Eden Prairie Center. Later I had a job where I would drive past Paisley Park Studio every day. I would always wonder if he was there jammin out when I was passing by. Went to MN to visit family after he had passed away. Got there around 3am drove right to the studio. Seeing the security guards and all the flowers, poems and things that people put around the fence made his death become so very real. I just parked my car by the studio and cried. It is still so very hard to believe that he is gone.

Bobbie Z put it best: the world is just now catching up with what he saw in Prince. I agree. And unless you have been closely following his career and ALL his released music, if you still only associate him with Purple Rain, you are still at least 3 decades behind. And you still don't know PRINCE.

[@kimsalama8064]

Keith Bell + this was Prince who lost me and others after Purple Rain. His doings

[@inspectorbudget]

Kim Salama Everybody can't hang. Glad I did.

[@wendileona]

The ones that grew up with Prince, from his peer age group to younger audiences were simply lucky, they, us, we, experienced Prince through his journey, we know Prince, at least those that listened and watched closely. We were lucky. Future audiences, missed all that, as Prince released music, his videos, his music. They may NEVER understand. .::Modernaire

Keith Bell Exzzzzactly

[@marmar9786]

Purple RAIN MADE HIM. and showed the world who he really was!! don't mistake that.. Always ahead of the times, pushing the envelope, and reaching heights never thought to had even existed... his following albums some were great some went another direction and he lost followers ONLY for that album or two but everyone would rush back to hear him perform no matter what song he did

Extremely sad day when Prince died, so sad. When Vanity passed away a few months b4 I was nostalgic about that Prince era, then he suddenly passed away and it was crushing. Heartbreaking. Gone too soon. It's good to see the Revolution back together. Prince is a BEAUTIFUL MAN, inside and out. He'll live on forever through his music and beautiful films.

He hand picked them, they played and wrote on some of his best albums, they have a right and a duty to go out and play the music. When someone you love is gone all the bullshit you went through with them is put in its proper perspective. All that shit just doesn't matter anymore.

[@solomemukasa3147]

MarkAntney you are not alone, I always said Prince was misunderstood and underrated simply because he was way ahead of his time, what he composed years ago is what we hear as new music and it somehow relates to our lives as if he just wrote it last night....what a musical genius, what a tragic loss!!

[@rambanita]

@MarkAntney You are not alone...He always said "You all aint ready for this" Bobby Z just confirmed it...

[@Lindae696969]

This female host from ABC needs to have her own talk show. Out freaking standing job combining compassion, laughter, and keeping the interviewees interesting on topic. I was hooked every second. This is the way talk shows used to and should be again.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Dez Dickersen who was the first guitarist for the Revolution once described his auditioning process. He and the other hopefulls had already arranged that since he had a gig to play with another band that same evening he should go first. Prince, Andre Cymone and Bobby Z arrived two hours late, no explanation, no apologies, not a single word. They got on stage, Bobby behind the drums, Andre on bass and Prince on the keys and started to lay down a really slow but extremely tight groove and Dez just joined in played what made sense and after a nod from Prince did a solo Before excusing himself reminding them that he had a show to play. So that's when the very first words came from Prince and he told him he'd walk him out. Prince asked Dez questions: where did he see himself in five years, what kind of stage experience did he have, in hindsight, Dez realized that Prince was asking him all this because he wanted to know how he would handle touring, if he was down with Prince's driven musicality. Dez became a Revolutionary but he wasn't aware of it yet.

[@antoniojohnson8443]

Lisa is a Lesbian but she was romantically involved with Prince when she lived with him for 2 years. Just listen to Prince unreleased song "Lisa"

[@Nanciverse]

She was NEVER romantically involved with Prince, their relationship was purely platonic and she has stated countless time that they were brother and sister. She was renting his upstairs room and has stated that the song Lisa is NOT about her, that he was dating a girl also called Lisa at the time. Lisa had started dating Wendy around the time she joined Prince and is a full blown lesbian. I'm sick.of reading this BS rumor repeated as fact.

I have to point out Dr. Fink here, the scrubs he wears is from the "Sign o the times" era when Prince formed the first incarnation of the NPG. Dr. was the only one who played both in the Revolution and the NPG. Wendy said in another interview that the "Parade" tour felt weird to do since Prince brought in this expanded band but what he actually was doing was road testing that first NPG line up for "Sign o the times" he apparently already knew that the Revolution would be broken up and he wanted to make sure that the NPG could handle the road.

[@mario2657]

Prince is Prince everytime i Saw Him....when i look at the them...they look like common people ....

[@tesswonderful4194]

I love the Revolution, and I am.certainly not dissing them, however I dont think they were his best band. Every time I have seen a poll on who is his best drummer or keyboardist, bassist - whatever - RARELY does anyone cite athe musicians from the Revolution, including me. I have been thru the Revolution up to now and for me Renato Neto was best piano, Rhonda Smith best bass and Michael B and John Blackwell on drugs, yes, even over Sheila. But they were a family, and I love thry are together. Wendy said it here, "we knew we were better together as a band than separate ". Exactly. Bobby Z said on another interview that Prince never liked to look back, which is why the Revolution needed to change. I love these interviews, and I really do love these folks. 💜💜💜💜💜

[@djuri0612]

Wow! What a great interview and finally done by someone who is clearly a fan who actually KNEW a song besides LRC was so refreshing - and they weren't RUSHED! I can't believe it - what great stories too I always thought it was Morris doing both voices on 'Chili Sauce' because they both did a version of that character sort of - and now I have to listen again - DAMN Prince was funny. You know at one show he stopped the band and said, 'TURN THE HOUSE LIGHTS UP!' and suddenly all the bright lights were on and he points to some people and he says, 'WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOIN', EATING CHICKEN WINGS? OH SO IT'S THAT KINDA PARTY!' and went right back into the song it was so freaking funny the place literally EXPLODED

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

After the Revolution was fired, I always missed Lisa's backing vocals. They were an essential ingredient in the sound I loved. I realize now I was done with new Prince music after Around the World in a Day.

[@Nanciverse]

What about Parade? Huge Lisa presence/influence on that album.

[@scooteranthony6297]

I remember when the movie Purple Rain came out., it had such an enormous impact on fans and artists of all genres of music. Some of my best friends were die-hard heavy metal and nothing else. And they were blown away by him. He couldn’t be defined any one genre. He was influenced by several different ones and created his own.

[@Hootenater]

Saw them twice within the past week. SO awesome to experience. We laughed, cried, danced and sang along.

[@sinyapore]

It funny how Lisa and Wendy had did an interview in the 90's stating how they were fired basicly becauae Prince wanted to start a nee band Or maybe they did finally got over that years later.
