Benefit Concert | First Avenue | Minneapolis, MN | USA | 3 August 1983Rehearsal Benefit Concert First Avenue

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.”.
