The Revolution was THE BEST part of that show. This should have been shown instead of those random performances from people who didn't even know Prince. Wendy did the darn thing on that guitar solo during Purple Rain.

Are you forgetting that Prince was a one man band. Thats what catapulted his career. That he could play so many instruments.

Only The Revolution could perform this! Beautiful and emotional; I cried.

Alcée and Family - Why? You ask...Oh, that’s all too clear and easy...it’s because The Revolution’s “Mountains” performance was by far THE BEST and totally outshined everyone else’s. I guess someone didn’t want something like THAT happening. So hence...the removal. Makes no sense right? Ah huh, I no.

That strict regimen prince had them on training sure paid off

THIS was by far THE BEST performance of the evening. Anyone who actually lived and grew up in the 80’s Prince and the Revolution era could feel his love and energy all over this song, track and live performance! I do believe only at this point The Revolution is the ONLY band that could purely still keep Prince’s spirit alive with new albums and live performances. Because (all though appreciated), shows like this and the Estate putting out never ending Prince vault music for us to own, possess and buy just ain’t cuttin’ it anymore. RIP Purple One💜💜💜💜.

The Rock and roll hall of fame have been inducting backing bands like the E Street band. It's time for The Revolution to get their due.

Same here, also my all time favorite Prince song. So mystical and magical, it's hard to explain it. Almost like a magic carpet ride, sort of what is shown in his video to this song. Even though I don't really know the true meaning of the lyrics of the song, I love it because it sounds beautiful, and it sounds really neat/cool. I remember when this song came out in 1986, I was only 15 or 16. Just hearing it brings back so many great memories. I only wish I was young again. Now I'm 50. I need to go back in time. I want to be young forever.

I’ve not watched the tribute and to be honest I’ve no intention. Watching a host of acts murder his songs has no appeal. But the Revolution, they were worth tuning in for. Brilliant band.

OMG! Why wasn't this part of the show???? Wendy you did that!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 We need more of this!

The Revolution I always liked - I always thought this band with Prince was the best lineup he ever had. Had no idea they perform separately now all these years later. They are still awesome. Wendy was great on Raspberry Beret with the guitar playing but the whole band was amazing.

Long live The Revolution! Prince is surely looking down smiling.

I cannot imagine how incredibly difficult this must be for you. Know that we are grateful for your strength in giving us these performances. Purple love and more is all we are headed for.

THIS is a tribute fit for our Prince!! 💜 #nevershouldhavebeencut

Real tight! Prince would have loved this! Just wished they had the horns. Tears of joy here. Thanks Revolution!

Why the hell was this cut from the show? It was so good. Would have been the best part of the night. Don’t get it!!!

When Wendy starts to sing tears of joy well up in my eyes and I see him again. Thank you 'The Revolution' I still love you.

Wow! Proof that Prince chose his band members very wisely. Wendy & Lisa made him proud!😭🙏

The Revolution&Prince have a history. And that, my friends, cannot be erased!

One of if not the coolest bands ever ! Sending all the love to THE REVOLUTION

i tuned in last night to see The Revolution. one of my favorite Prince songs. tragic that this was not aired.

There’s nothing greater 💟

The absolute HIGHLIGHT of the show!!!

Bobby on the drum-a! love all of you so much! Can’t nobody mess with the revolution not then not now not ever💜

Anything about Prince I cry and mourn his loss all over again.

That's right revolution keep your master and leader prince spirit alive god bless ya'll. R.I.P. Prince.

I rarely use the word perfection but here I must, this performance in particular is PERFECTION !!!!!! The backdrop is awesome, the coordinating fuchsia color, the genuine expressions of joy on their faces as they perform this iconic song for us ... this phenomenal performance reminds us true fans why we have been for most of our lives. This should have been the opening to the entire tribute show and it would have been if I had my way. Thank You to The Revolution ... you have a lot of support out here and you are very much loved xoxox

Wow!!!! Took me back to the summer of '86. Just wow!!!

I saw them a few years ago live. Still a tight band, and a real thrill for me. They are the only tribute to Prince out there that truly means something.

The Revolution did Prince proud!

Incredibly talented musicians who were able to compliment Prince, who was a phenomenal writer and musician. Wendy did great taking the lead on this one and it was nice to see Bobby have more freedom behind the set.

I LOVE WENDY AND LISA !!!

Forever in my life💜

Why in the world did they cut this from the show! This is my favorite performance, by far! They just slayed this song, but I wasn't surprised, it is The Revolution after all! Much love guys! Please come to Cincinnati Ohio!!!! Your fan for life, Anna 💜

(Fun fact:) Wendy&Lisa wrote and produced "Mountains" Prince only sang and tweaked the verses and melody 💜

She owned the song like Prince was never a part of it to begin with! Quite an amazing performance!

This should have never been cut. Nobody represents Prince better.

Well this made me cry. RIP Prince

Wendy, u did wonderful on the vocals. The band was tight & the rendition on point. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The Revolution 4ever! We love u guys! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Man, somebody was trippin'. U cant do a Prince tribute show without giving props to the original purple gang, The Revolution. If Sheila E. made this call, I am truly shocked. I thought that she was about the music. There is no excuse to not have the best known, most flavored & most fun Prince band getting top billing. They were in one of the most iconic, freakin' movies for goodness sakes! Purple Rain was a huge for everybody in 1984. And especially for the black community - great music, original, funny & w a black male lead in 1984?? It was a huge deal. If there was a 'cookout' for movies, Purple Rain would always be invited. There was never a movie like it b4 & never has been one like it since. I really hope this wasnt an ego thing on E.'s part. I thought that she was a musician's musician & classier than that. Im speechless. Nonetheless > That performance brought tears to my eyes.💜🎶🤗✌🏽

I'm a 58yr old brother & been hanging on prince tunes since i was 18. I like 2 think he would say...."Don't think i don't feel ur warmth, smile & luv u had 4 me, because i do. Now I'm a source of energy that surges threw u, when u hear me & that keeps us both 😊ing".

This is the result of Prince's grueling practice regiment. This band is conditioned to play these songs to perfection. The original band, instruments, voices . . . this is theeee purest form of this song.

Prince & The Revolution....., hands down, greatest band EVER!!!!!

THE REVOLUTION ARE A GREAT BAND !!!

YES!!! This is what the show was missing!!! The Revolution should have hosted the whole show, instead of taking a back seat to Sheila E...who was in almost every song. What was up with that?

This performance should not have been cut!

This is so mystical and magical, I can't explain it. So beautiful.

The Revolution should have been playing back-up/lead on all those acts/songs. Period. Instead we got the Sheila E. Show. 🙄

Thank you for keeping THE MUSIC alive!!!

Oooz's the soundtrack of the early 80's with Prince! Wendy's guitar artistry and great singing voice combined with Prince! It's everything! Still love The Revolution!

I think this most definitely would have been televised if they had the huge line up with all the flash, the brass, and dancers...the way Prince and the Revolution used to play it. Regardless, the Revolution should of had MORE air time!! THIS ROCKED THE HOUSE!!

You guys absolutely made that show phenomenal! Please come back to Atlanta!

A faithful jam..stayed in the pocket and funk rocked it. Nice version.
