Prince And The Revolution: Live was the second Prince and the Revolution home video to be released and its first live concert released on Home Video format.
The footage comes from a live broadcast¹ of a Purple Rain Tour concert in Syracuse, on 30 March 1985.
It was first released on 2 cassettes under the name of "Double Live" before being re-released as Prince And The Revolution: Live on one cassette and laserdisc.
The Home Video reached the number 1 spot (where it remained for 13 weeks) on the Billboard Top Music Videocassettes chart and number 2 on the Billboard Top Videocassettes Sales.
In 2017, the video was restored and released on a DVD included on the expanded edition of the Purple Rain Deluxe.
The audio was released digitally as Prince And The Revolution: Live on 15 May 2020.
¹ Several countries around the world, amongst them Germany (on TV program Rockpalast), broadcast the concert live. France TV channel Antenne 2 broadcast the concert a few days later.
