Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Alive! (And It Lives In Minneapolis) is a Prince (as ) video for a song that was only released as the b- side to Gold.
It was recorded at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota on 10 October 1995, together with footage for a video for Gold for use in the Love 4 One Another TV-special. The video features various "celebrity" attendees of Prince’s concert, including people in politician masks (Bill Clinton, Hilarry Rodham-Clinton, and Richard Nixon among them) and an Elvis look-alike (who ends up face down and naked on the bathroom floor to tie in with the song’s lyrics).
Until its release as stream in the Prince YouTube channel it was not officially available as stand alone video outside of the Love 4 One Another TV-special. Like for the Gold video, two edits were made (the stand alone version uploaded on the Prince YouTube channel omitting some of the shots of the character Nikki).
