EPISODE 2: Hello Syracuse, and the World

The Prince Estate has launched a new season of its Webby awarded official podcast!

In celebration of the release of Prince and The Revolution: Live, the second episode of the two-part podcast series "The Story of Prince and The Revolution: Live" is available now on the Official Prince Podcast feed.

As the pressures of fame mounted for Prince and The Revolution and Prince longed to pursue new creative projects, the Purple Rain Tour was cut short and supplanted with a historic satellite broadcast concert from Syracuse, New York, which was also released on VHS for fans around the world. Host Andrea Swensson takes you behind the scenes of this pivotal moment in Prince's career, with exclusive memories from musicians Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, BrownMark, Dr. Fink, Bobby Z, and Eric Leeds, plus Purple Rain Tour road manager Craig Rice, Prince’s former manager Bob Cavallo, and his longtime production designer Roy Bennett.

James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome—the March 30, 1985 Purple Rain Tour stop that was beamed to millions live via satellite and captured for posterity in the Grammy Award-nominated concert film Prince and The Revolution: Live. For the first time, this powerful performance by Prince and The Revolution has been remixed from the original 2” multitrack master reels and the film has been digitally enhanced onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound. The new release of Prince and The Revolution: Live will be available June 3, 2022, and marks the first time that the concert will be available on vinyl (as a 3-LP set) and on CD (as a 2-CD/Blu-ray set) as well as a limited run Collector's Edition available exclusively from the official Prince Store. Housed in a luxe foil box, the set includes the remixed and remastered audio pressed onto 3 colored LPs (purple, red and gold vinyl), 2 CDs, the Blu-ray video, an expansive 44-page book complete with never-before-seen photos of the Purple Rain Tour, new liner notes highlighting stories and memories from all five members of The Revolution, and a 24 x 36 poster.
