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 is joined by The Revolution - Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, BrownMark, Dr. Fink, and Bobby Z - plus saxophonist Eric Leeds, road manager Craig Rice, Prince’s former manager Bob Cavallo, and production designer Roy Bennett.
