This is what a Tribute is supposed to be, not a bunch of folks pretending to ge Prince!

[@tonyfelder1206]

The Rock and roll hall of fame have been inducting backing bands like the E Street band. It's time for The Revolution to get their due.

[@angelac.muhammad1085]

THIS should have been televised. The Revolution had the longest relationship with Prince. Way to go on the locals, Wendy!

[@TheCarmelswan67]

The Revolution was THE BEST part of that show. This should have been shown instead of those random performances from people who didn't even know Prince. Wendy did the darn thing on that guitar solo during Purple Rain.

[@jbanks979]

Everyone in the Revolution still sounds so great. Wendy and Lisa’s career is so underrated (one of like 3 people EVER allowed to contribute anything musical to a prince album not the man himself).

[@PeterAlanA1234567890]

There has been a few more than three who are your three?

[@patrickamos9485]

Thank revolution for keeping prince alive you are the best

[@jeffrhind175]

I think song is so under-rated. It’s one of my favorite Price tunes.

[@QQ-kb9mo]

Only The Revolution could perform this! Beautiful and emotional; I cried.

[@EightiesMusiqLover]

THIS was by far THE BEST performance of the evening. Anyone who actually lived and grew up in the 80’s Prince and the Revolution era could feel his love and energy all over this song, track and live performance! I do believe only at this point The Revolution is the ONLY band that could purely still keep Prince’s spirit alive with new albums and live performances. Because (all though appreciated), shows like this and the Estate putting out never ending Prince vault music for us to own, possess and buy just ain’t cuttin’ it anymore. RIP Purple One💜💜💜💜.

[@antoniowashington6148]

This is Prince Tribute and he will be blessed with his former group paying respects for this track. RIP Prince😭😭😭😭

prince and the revolution..... the greatest band of the 80s in the wordl

[@TheJhale1570]

This literally gave me chills and tears at the same time, don't care what anyone says, tightest band right here, all connected perfectly, plus Wendy rocks!

[@fredstriker2042]

That strict regimen prince had them on training sure paid off

[@ohbogey]

Wow! Proof that Prince chose his band members very wisely. Wendy & Lisa made him proud!😭🙏

[@dynjarren8355]

Fantastic! Wendy did a great job on vocals. My only regret is I keep thinking Prince is going to jump out on stage and join them all. He’s missing. But they did a great job in this Tribute to him. Thanks Revolution! 👏🏻

[@cmac7384]

It was prince and the revolution for a reason Grammy s what's wrong with you not showing this sooner . More revolution please!!!

[@Ivette27]

Prince may be gone but Prince lives on in the Revolution. I remember the Revolution being in the background of the Purple One...but now they are in the forefront and have shown they were just as an integral part of what made the Revolution special. Awesome performance. Long Live the Revolution !!

[@michaelcastillo9072]

Prince & The Revolution....., hands down, greatest band EVER!!!!!

[@TheMollyjustin]

This is the result of Prince's grueling practice regiment. This band is conditioned to play these songs to perfection. The original band, instruments, voices . . . this is theeee purest form of this song.

[@jim6820]

Prince would’ve been proud of this.

[@alceenolasco]

This is so good why wasn’t this in the Grammy salute? Like seriously revolution if you’re seeing this we love you and you should have been featured more.

[@EightiesMusiqLover]

Alcée and Family - Why? You ask...Oh, that’s all too clear and easy...it’s because The Revolution’s “Mountains” performance was by far THE BEST and totally outshined everyone else’s. I guess someone didn’t want something like THAT happening. So hence...the removal. Makes no sense right? Ah huh, I no.

[@BayAreaSon]

Because that wanted everybody to see sorry ass John Legend.

[@nycava0520]

You are right. This was great!! 💜 Hopefully they will release the whole concert.

They still haven't gotten a tribute to Prince right yet. The Grammys usually does a great job when they salute an artist. Something was off about this salute but The Revolution did the damn thang!!!

[@airikwilliams6720]

This is Prince’s best band!!!! THE REVOLUTION

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

The Revolution I always liked - I always thought this band with Prince was the best lineup he ever had. Had no idea they perform separately now all these years later. They are still awesome. Wendy was great on Raspberry Beret with the guitar playing but the whole band was amazing.

[@starrcompany3275]

(Fun fact:) Wendy&Lisa wrote and produced "Mountains" Prince only sang and tweaked the verses and melody 💜

[@cherylleith9901]

The sad reality is that 90% of the audience had never heard of this amazing amazing piece of musical magic

[@gfranks5080]

This was my favorite Prince song when I was a kid. I bought the album 'Parade' when it came out with my allowance money. The entire album was different from anything I'd heard at the time. Mountains hypnotized me. Ahhh takes me back to better times when all I had to be in life was a kid...

[@TheSteveSteele]

Cheryl Leith Nah. It was all over MTV back in the day. It looks like everyone is glad to hear it instead of overplayed obvious cuts. I see lots of smiles on faces in this video. Only problem is it’s too short!

[@Iamthestrang]

I’ve not watched the tribute and to be honest I’ve no intention. Watching a host of acts murder his songs has no appeal. But the Revolution, they were worth tuning in for. Brilliant band.

[@mariovh]

I hear so many great things about this tribute but I don’t know if I will ever watch it in full simply because it’s Prince and no one touches His songs …the only thing I watched was Wendy’s solo and it was great but still …Nothing Compared 2 Prince 💜👏🙌

[@A358M]

I agree? Feel the same . She butchered his song. The fact Prince isn't here makes me cry.

[@TRACEWORLD2]

@@mariovh I must say that this was an awesome tribute! You may want to check out Miguel, H. E. R., Mavis Staples, and the Foo Fighters they were all EXCELLENT!

It would’ve been nice to have Prince go on a reunion tour with his “old” band members. It’s what the Purple Nation would’ve wanted.

[@chlobug52]

This is my all time favorite Prince song! This should have never been cut from the show. This is the most solid performance! This is excellent! 💜💜💜

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Nowhere near my favorite, nor was it a big hit, but it was a good song and a good live cut.

[@bobby1970]

Same here, also my all time favorite Prince song. So mystical and magical, it's hard to explain it. Almost like a magic carpet ride, sort of what is shown in his video to this song. Even though I don't really know the true meaning of the lyrics of the song, I love it because it sounds beautiful, and it sounds really neat/cool. I remember when this song came out in 1986, I was only 15 or 16. Just hearing it brings back so many great memories. I only wish I was young again. Now I'm 50. I need to go back in time. I want to be young forever.

[@gfranks5080]

my fav too. the Parade album is my favorite of all of em

[@matthewmartin5610]

Yes, just reading the book about the Parade era recordings and it's apt that Wendy and lisa sung it as they wrote the tune . All their notes, they played it for prince, he loved it and added the words .

[@daveydcxcix]

They all sounds soo good I have always loved Wendy and Lisa’s vocals too esp on Raspberry beret

[@darincampbell171]

IMO, these musicians and group members were so very blessed. I feel that they should be so grateful to GOD. Why? Because they worked with the greatest musician of all time. Prince was in a category all to himself. One thing that people have debated is if there will ever be another Prince? The answer to that question is, “Yes”! However, it probably won’t be in my lifetime. That is why I am so grateful that I was able to see the first one. The original one! I LOVE PRINCE. Peace.

U cant do a Prince tribute show without giving props to the original purple gang, The Revolution. If Sheila E. made this call, I am truly shocked. I thought that she was about the music. There is no excuse to not have the best known, most flavored & most fun Prince band getting top billing. They were in one of the most iconic, freakin' movies for goodness sakes! Purple Rain was a huge for everybody in 1984. And especially for the black community - great music, original, funny & w a black male lead in 1984?? It was a huge deal. If there was a 'cookout' for movies, Purple Rain would always be invited. There was never a movie like it b4 & never has been one like it since. I really hope this wasnt an ego thing on E.'s part. I thought that she was a musician's musician & classier than that. Im speechless. Nonetheless > That performance brought tears to my eyes.💜🎶🤗✌🏽
