The Revolution Performs "Mountains" | Let's Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute To Prince

[@jim6820]

Prince would’ve been proud of this.

[@FrancisRankin]

😢😢😢❤

[@patriciaalexander8716]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@hupyt]

No more like the Sheila e show. This is the prince that I know

[@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.

[@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]

alot more than 3 lol

[@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...

[@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony]

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!

You're right

[@kayrobbie5840]

Are you forgetting that Prince was a one man band. Thats what catapulted his career. That he could play so many instruments.

[@jeffrhind175]

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

GUITARS AND DRUMS ON THE ONE!!!!

Bobby Z. always on point..

[@zabrinahorton3156]

Yesss!!!!

[@melaniep6964]

Oh yeah!💜

[@radvideoss]

I was scrolling down during the song and read this right when they said that.

[@TarSpartan]

@johnny Macon but Lisa shouted "Bobby's on the drums!" ;)

[@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!

[@purpleplumtrinkets]

Here! Here! This was awesome! But for as much as I love Usher, his Prince performance made me CRINGE 🤬 THE REVOLUTION STILL ROCKS LIKE BOATS ON RUFF WATERS!

[@sarahsilvamartinez772]

Exactly, it wasn't good ..and Wendy is the closet we will get to Prince...the Revolution was GREAT!

[@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 .

[@misspickles47]

Mine too, and Pink Cashmere 💗 💓

Whyyyyyyyyy????? Wasn't this included amazing performance OMG Wendy killed it💜💜💜💜

[@hollyw.]

Yes!!! Why!!

[@rushfanflo]

Because of Sheila E

[@garymoore104]

I dont think prince would have approved it, he was finished with them. He had moved on to new sounds. I feel that they were doing the tour and all this for themselves...not prince.

[@angelac.muhammad1085]

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

[@ezedikeohamadike9003]

Tight band. I always loved Lisa and Wendy. ❤

[@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! 👏🏻

[@MrM-u3h]

Outrageous they didn't air this!

[@cmac7384]

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

[@sheilabrown5899]

I didn't watch the show, because my heart couldn't take it. But, I heard they cut your part. So, I didn't miss anything. I came here, to listen to the true Band. Thank you for lifting me , on a dreary day...

[@burns32]

Thats exactly how I felt

[@ceceoo3]

@Sheila Brown I felt the same way at first but decided to watch it to see The time and The revolution and those 2 acts made it so worth it. I was actually up and jamming with those 2 acts.

[@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.

[@Willonne]

I cannot imagine how incredibly difficult this must be for you. Know that we are grateful for your strength in giving us these performances. Purple love and more is all we are headed for.

The backdrop is awesome, the coordinating fuchsia color, the genuine expressions of joy on their faces as they perform this iconic song for us ... this phenomenal performance reminds us true fans why we have been for most of our lives. This should have been the opening to the entire tribute show and it would have been if I had my way.

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.💜🎶🤗✌🏽

Wow... This is GREAT! Amazing voice of Wendy... it's so close to Prince'voice!! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜

THAT,S what the GRAMMY,s used to be about, REAL musicians ,doing REAL music. They ROCKED it.

[@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💜💜💜💜.

[@jaytrace1006]

[@MrCobrakurt]

Check out Apolonia's dig at her, rolling stone has a piece of it.

[@janayholmes6072]

Well Sheila E. Was the musical director of the whole thing that’s y it was so good. Sheila E. Was prince’s lover and best friend so she is always gonna have some type of input on anything Prince entertainment wise. Honestly I think the revolution and Sheila E. Should’ve teamed up since they were the biggest aspects of Prince’s life and Career.

[@musicnerd72]

Prince met Sheila E in 1979. The Revolution came after that. Quit hating on Sheila. She's had the longest association with Prince.
