this is very rare.when purple rain came out i was only nine in 1984. loved the movie and i remember i bought the single from the soundtrack album when doves cry on the flip side of the record 17 days. love prince and may he rest in peace.

[@TheRealRoyGBiv]

Same age!

[@starrcompany3275]

Wtf was you watching this movie for at 9🤤😯(and who in the fuck let you in the theater)🤣

[@mikimiki6202]

I was 9 too, my sisters took me to the theater. It's hard to describe to this generation what stars like Prince, MJ, Madonna and others meant to us.

[@blondechick9804]

I was 8 and I hardly knew anything about Prince or half these people until I was 12. Been a fan ever since! Not one album he ever made did I not get!! I hate he is gone! We need him back God plz!!

[@toddwoods582]

I was 13 years old when this aired... that movie , that album, that performance and Prince's genius was and is to this day unmatched.

[@rustybeddingfield227]

i was of-age, it was even better being close to his age group (he was a boomer, i'm genX)

[@podglorious]

Amazing clip. RIP one of the greatest ever.

[@Larry_JC]

I need more of this! I miss these days, I really do! Everything was poppin at the time. Music, movies, tv shows, wrestling, nba, nfl, nhl, toys etc. You had to be there!!!!!

[@Sebastianx007]

I feel so fortunate growing up in the 80's this moment was larger than life! We didnt have computers or technology so me and my friends would all play outside and if one of us went inside for a drink and caught Prince or Michael Jackson they would always scream out "Prince is on mtv" or "Michael Jackson is on mtv" in which we would all run to our homes and Watch the video those were the days and I'm so happy I grew up back then to experience it!

[@elvindelacrur2160]

You are not the only one.

[@jaymatic23]

The best rock movie ever! I was 13 and saw this back to back at the movies in Landover, Md.

[@starrcompany3275]

You know im watching this star-studded event this tribute to Prince because they knew this man was going to be the one! I feel sorry for whoever was born after 1990 because you guys really missed out on great music! Michael,Prince ans Madonna 🖤👍🏿🔥all of them were fire at this time. Including Eddie

[@Bughood]

If only there was some sort of platform where you can listen to any era of music

[@gmcneoplan84]

That interview with Eddie Murphy after he and others had left the Purple Rain movie was a trip. Man, Eddie in late 1984 in his prime and that famous laugh of his during that interview is just priceless to me.

Things were so much Bigger and more Epic in the 80's that said the whole set up here looks like a High School Dance

[@eliasbarnes3710]

It was better because we weren’t saturated with the internet and having to wait for things made it more appreciated.

[@mahoganyjoy3502]

Wow to have the 80's back. Look at Charlie he really was the muscle.

[@annt.7785]

I wish we could make a big ole time machine and leave it in the 80's and 90's forever. After the year 1999 we could just turn it back to 1980 and repeat over and over again lol.

YES!!! Let's make that happen!!!!

Little Richard slayed me. " Prince is me. Michael is me. The Beatles is me. All of them are me, you know that. " Like yass king let them know.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

scritti politti as the background music ...wow was this 80s personified. .this was when the music world finally began moving away from thriller to purple rain....Michael Jackson cleaned up at all the music awards one year, and then at all the awards shows the next year prince followed suit...84 was an amazing year in music. .in my opinion the best year for music in the 80s followed by 87.

[@johnsonmark65]

'84 was the best no daubt, Michael Jackson's Thriller was still hot, Prince released Purple Rain, Bruce Springsteen released Born in the USA, Van Halen released 1984, Madonna released Like a Virgin, MTV peaked that year, the 80s were in full swing in '84.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

@@johnsonmark65 agree...I always felt 84 was the most "80ish" year of the 1980s...the music , movies , and TV shows that year were amazing..you nailed it...I remember thinking even in elementary school...wow 84 is cool...only year I ever actually realized was classic in real time

[@gmcneoplan84]

Seeing as how the 1980s is my favorite decade for music, it's a trip seeing this video and seeing all those 1980s stars ⭐ getting out of limos or getting interviewed.

[@johnsonmark65]

And while this was happening, at the same time Michael Jackson was getting ready for his victory tour, damn we really had it great in the 80s.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Why ?

[@burningupwithsympathy]

The reason why is because people knew how to have good clean fun back then. Nowadays, it's all about spreading hate thanks to apps like TikTok.

[@krusher74]

is "ready for his victory tour" code for touching up small boys?

Wasn't Michael getting ready for his final tour with his brothers? I crack up when I see Mike saying that it's the last show (when it originally wasn't) and his brothers being triggered in the background. Little Richard was hilarious. "I made a Bible just for Prince."
