This is the famous '1984 Birthday Show' which is from the soundboard. The source I took this from had numerous glitches (pops/bangs/noise residue from the venue) which I have tried to fix. There has also been a lot of 'quiet' sections such as audience cheering and gaps between songs. Some lasted at least 3 or 4 minutes, so they have all been edited out, creating a fully seamless live set. Also included is my own artwork, going on the Purple Rain album cover vibe. To this day, it is unreleased, and with the recent anniversary, deluxe edition of Purple Rain, it is highly likely it will remain that way. My guess is, due to numerous errors mentioned above (mic drops/bumps/bangs and some parts being sang out of tune by some members of the Revolution) it was shelved by Prince as being not fit to have a proper release. That is just my opinion.
