Prince played a benefit concert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre (MDT) company at First Avenue, Minneapolis. The rest is History!
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 raised $23,000 for the financially beleaguered MDT dance company.
The concert, which was Wendy Melvoin’s debut with the band, was recorded, using a mobile
recording unit that was brought in from New York. The basic tracks of three songs from the concert
were used on Purple Rain: "I Would Die 4 U," "Baby, I'm A Star," and "Purple Rain." The concert is
generally regarded as one of the most exciting shows he has ever played.
The evening began with the MDT dancers performing four dances, representing an abbreviated
history of dance. The highlight was a number choreographed by Houlton to Prince's "D.M.S.R.".
Prince's 70-minute set opened with "Let's Go Crazy," the first of no less than six new songs
performed during the concert. Prince continued with the more familiar "When You Were Mine,"
before playing a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You" (from Blue, 1971; it became "A Case Of U"
when Prince covered it on One Nite Alone... in 2002). It was performed as a solo number by Prince,
accompanying himself on guitar, with some discreet synth touches.
A drum machine beat began and Prince introduced another new song, "Computer Blue." It was
followed by his forthcoming single, "Delirious," and yet another unheard track, "Electric
Intercourse." "When it comes to you, I'm automatic baby," Prince said as an intro to "Automatic." "I
Would Die 4 U" and "Baby, I'm A Star" were played in sequence, without interrupting the drum
machine beat. "Is there a party here tonight?", Prince asked before going from "I Would Die 4 U"
into "Baby, I'm A Star." After "Little Red Corvette," Houlton came onstage to present Prince with a
rose, saying, "We don't have a Prince in Minnesota, we have a King!". Prince then closed the set with
a 13-minute version of "Purple Rain." "Thank you very, very much," he said before leaving the stage.
He returned for an encore, closing the set on a high note with 'D.M.S.R.".

In 1985, Prince played a free concert for L.A. students. He didn't want any publicity!
‘'In the 1980s, I was a new teacher of blind students in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Previous to my teaching career I had been in the music business; as a result I had the opportunity
to ask Prince to do a show for special needs children in L.A. I was surprised and pleased that he
said yes and had his people put together a date at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
The students were bused to the show not knowing whom they were going to see.
Prince did not want publicity for this, so only a few people knew about it.
It was so thrilling to see the kids' reaction when they learned whom they were going to see in this surprise show.
It was financed entirely by Prince, who had just finished a stint of sold-out shows at the Forum in Inglewood as part of his world tour in 1984-85.
Hundreds of children watched the concert from their wheelchairs, and Prince provided signers for the deaf students.
For many of the children, it would be the only live show they would ever see.
Prince was a loving, generous and gentle man. He will be missed here on Earth but will be a great addition to the angels in heaven.’'
