Lived in Minneapolis '79. Even back then, standing on the street in 0-38F temps, waiting for some bus, this guy's billboards were all around me. Prince, you are the best. From the heart. RIP.

I remember seeing this on TV when it actually aired back in 1985 and it BLEW MY MIND! I had been digging Prince as he was all over the radio at that point, but I had never seen anything like this stellar performance! He totally owned this American Music Awards and proved beyond any doubt that he was more than just a fluke or talentless wanna-be. He was the real deal and I became a huge and total fan for life. Still listening and appreciating his massive talent 37 years later.

Wacko Jacko stole prince's final pose in which he lifts both arms and turns his back, Jacko copied this for the ending of man in the mirror at the grammies in 1988 and all subsequent Billie jean/man in the mirror performances.

@@mrpussinboots4252 Totally agree, the irony that Mj famous moves come from white people, because Wacko Jacko basically ripped off completely the great Bob Fosse too. BTW he din't even choreographed the Thriller dance, still he gets the credit wrongly. MJ was a master of stealing people talent.

Agreed. I think it’s the best. I just haven’t seen another with this classic line up and overall electricity that this one had. Plus it was fairly perfect with the studio version except one slight lyric mis cue. And the solo was just ripping good. Great tone and he was just on. When he kicked that mic stand over…gave me chills.
