TNJT! Wendy and Lisa and Prince

In a search for what's up with Wendy Melvoin these days, I stumbled upon this interesting piece from last year about an artist that used to be near and dear to my heart and an time period that I was fully into it. I've got stories of other Prince shows I've been to, but this one is a dream...

Prince's Purple Reign - The Making of a Classic Vol. 3:

"On the night of Aug. 3, 1983, Prince and his new band, the Revolution, took the stage at a jam-packed First Avenue nightclub in downtown Minneapolis. In addition to being an unforgettable (and much bootlegged) live performance, the 70-minute show was significant, for it planted the seeds for "Purple Rain," which a panel of VH1-polled experts recently named the 18th greatest rock 'n' roll album of all time. Six new songs saw their debut that night, five of which ended up on "Purple Rain."

What a night that was!
