Minneapolis Tribune, Sunday, August 7, 1983. Item in music news column with two photos from the Aug. 3 concert at First Avenue. One is Prince playing guitar with arm raised and a kind of wild look on his face, and the other is Loyce Houlton of the Minnesota Dance Theater with Prince beaming at her, on stage. The text says the concert, with tickets at the high price of $25, raised about $2,300 for the dance company. Houlton had caught Prince, who took classes the MDT, while the Purple Rain album/movies rehearsals were underway two weeks before. Crowd estimate: 1,100.
42 years ago today, on Aug. 3, 1983, Prince "and Friends" (soon to be known as The Revolution) performed songs for the first time that would appear a year later on the soundtrack album and in the movie "Purple Rain."

Blog update: Nobody's favourite Smiths single "Shakespeare's Sister" got to number one in the NME Indie Chart in April 1985. Of course, the danger of calling it "nobody's favourite" is I'll now get a bunch of people angrily claiming it was, or telling me that Siobhan Fahey would like a word...

David Bowie really could give Very Good Interview. In a phone chat with Peter Paphides for Christmas 1999’s Time Out, Bowie was amazingly keen & knowledgeable about the net. As if that wasn’t enough, the article ended with the info in the box below, which in itself was worth the price of magazine.
