When Prince Stepped up and took over playing the most Sonic and Fierce with his Guitar. The Look on Jeff Lyn, Tom Petty and Old Fart Central was priceless. At a point they realize that Prince is Going to Shred till bitter End of the song. When Prince is Done he Just Randomly Throws his guitar in the Air like he's in a Contest and the one that's trying to Smash their Guitar the Most and Final so said guitar will never be on stage again, For it's Spirit is Tragically Damaged like Henry Rollins on The Album Damaged. There's Got to be away to Get Out.

My very first concert was the Punk and Funk tour of Prince and Rick James at the Richmond(Va.) Coliseum in the very early eighties. My mom took me and my best friend to the concert and I can remember staring, mouth agape, as Prince pranced around the stage in Knee-highs and high heels...and even pretended to have sex on stage with a bed that was brought on stage. No one had ever seen anything like it at the time and I don't think that my mom knew what to expect. And then Rick James closed the show and pretended(I assume) to smoke a joint on stage. Needless to say, Rick James was on fire at the time, and the bigger artist. But Prince stole the show, IMO, and I've been a huge fan ever since. I've always said that later generations will come to regard Prince as a genius on par with Mozart and Beethoven. RIP.

To see him in such a close proximity at the beginning of his career with the rawness of his music at the time is amazing I am so grateful to be able to see footage like this! 💜💜🔥🔥
I'm happy to see an old 1981 concert video that Deanna Wesley DID'NT get to see when I was, my parents John and Dorothy didn't have cable. I remember the Album/Records "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy" LOVE TO "MY LIOVE" PRINCE!!! GOD IS WITH US!!!! LOVE FOREVER!! Deanna/Nefertiti.
