Purple Rain Tour

In addition to Prince and the Revolution, they were joined on tour by Apollonia 6, and Sheila E. and her band.

Despite gaining fame from their appearance in the film and releasing a third album, The Time were not invited to tour, as by 1985 the group had been depleted, with many of its remaining key members quitting to embark on personal careers.

The B-side "God" was often played, followed by a usual sequence of "Computer Blue", "Darling Nikki", "The Beautiful Ones" and "When Doves Cry" (featuring a mirror setup onstage to mimic the video of the song).

On rare occasions, "International Lover", and some tracks from Dirty Mind (1980) and Prince (1979) would pop up.

A minor conflict arose within the band, as Prince began giving Leeds lengthy solos during other songs, in particular Wendy was upset that her opening guitar solo on the show closing "Purple Rain" was given to Leeds.
