They were the backing band of his best era…And they nail it everytime. You can see why PRINCE put them together

I saw them live in the front row at the wiltern hotel in downtown Los Angeles. June 2017. Albsoulty sublime. I waited 33 years to see that show..and it was worth every second. Great show. 🎬

These were special shows! The Revolution played these songs right because they are the original band. And it sounded so good! Princes Reign was so huge! He was even more popular in Europe than in America! They loved him over there! Europeans know quality music when they hear it and Prince had the Goods! The shows are a celebration of his music and yet I still have a melancholy feeling because he’s not walking out on stage like he used to and be the MC! When Prince shows up the Party Starts! But he can’t anymore because he’s gone to the Sky. Gone from this World anyway! All I can say is I always recorded his appearances on TV whenever I found out he was playing. I knew he was special and I appreciated him and his talent. So at least I didn’t take him for granted when he was alive. Thanks Revolution for keeping his music, memory and legacy alive! 👏🏻🎸😎

Prince, aka "The Kid", would be so proud! Wendy still has mad skills with that Minneapolis Funky Guitar, baby. She still steps back with that left foot when she plays, love ya so much girls! And HEY! Morris Day, you ain't too phat to fly.....Where r YOU and Jerome? And btw: WHAT FN TIME IS IT! IT? BBOOOOOOOCK! Yayus!

You can DEFINITELY see and hear why Wendy & Lisa are as successful as they are. That intro to "Sometimes It Snows In April" is fricking brilliant and SO gorgeous. I look up to these two as women, and as human beings. The song itself is bittersweet, but Wendy and Lisa bring it to such a huge level. This is why real music, made by real musicians will ALWAYS trounce artificial, bland, soul-less "music" that the masses consume.
