Synopsis On the 3rd of August 1983, Prince played a benefit concert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre Company at First Avenue, Minneapolis. The concert was instigated by Loyce Houlton, artistic director of the long-time modern dance troupe. She had met Prince during the band's dance classes and asked him to play a benefit show. Prince's concert raise $23,000 for the financially beleaguered MDT dance company. The concert is generally regarded as one of the most excited shows he has ever played.
The basic tracks of three songs from the concert were used on Purple Rain. This was a benefit concert for the Minnestoa Dance Theatre, Minneapolis and is one of the best Prince concerts. Just before Purple Rain launched him in to worldwide stardom, there is still a rawness to this performance which is what makes it special. The basic tracks of Computer Blue, I Would Die 4 U, Baby I'm A Star and Purple Rain from this concert were used for the album version.
