- This show was advertised for 9 December 1980, Midnight, but it was well after midnight before the show commenced.
- The show took place just 24 hours after the murder of John Lennon, which shocked the music world and New York City in particular. Prince's proximity to the event may have influenced the song Annie Christian, and some have speculated that it also influenced him to stay distanced from his fans over the coming years.
- By late 1980, interest in Prince was starting to grow, and the show was attended by a star-studded crowd, including Andy Warhol, all the members of the band Kiss, Nona Hendryx (to whom Prince later gave the track Baby Go-Go), and Chic's Tony Thompson and Nile Rodgers.
