In honour of Prince's death anniversary, check out this insanely rare video of the now iconic ballad "Purple Rain" live in 1983 at First Avenue in Minneapolis.

This is the first time the song Purple Rain was ever performed live and this performance was the bare bones used on the album and in the movie.

This is a part of history that I hope is never lost. RIP Prince.
