Prince’s band from ‘Purple Rain,’ the Revolution, on 2017 tour to honor the icon in live interiew 

Prince & The Revolution were and still are the biggest musical influence in my life. Wendy & Lisa made it cool "for a girl" to play instruments in my hood. Prince was the ultimate performer and he will always be missed...

for me, this band identifies with Prince far more than the other bands. along with Dez and Andre this was his soulmate band, they were born to be with Prince!

They will always be Prince's most well known band

Prince was at his creative best when he was with The Revolution.

The interviewer is so good! She stays out of focus and gives the band their space and time to finish their sentences. Very unusual to see that in american shows.

"phantom limb syndrome" -- it's gone but still hurts. Wendy nails it.

I give the highest praise to the members of The Revolution. I pray for blessings for all of them always.

I still hate that Prince is dead but he will never be forgotten. RIP Prince

this band stayed true to Prince and you can see all the love & respect they have for him best band ever RIP PRINCE you are so missed :( one of the best interviews ever

This was Prince best band! The Revolution!

all of my purple life 😢😢😢 im still all choked up I miss you Prince Rogers Nelson

Extremely sad day when Prince died, so sad. When Vanity passed away a few months b4 I was nostalgic about that Prince era, then he suddenly passed away and it was crushing. Heartbreaking. Gone too soon. It's good to see the Revolution back together. Prince is a BEAUTIFUL MAN, inside and out. He'll live on forever through his music and beautiful films.

As with many, Prince's music was the backdrop of my life. Hats off to the interviewer, I can tell she was a true fan and she let the group members express their thoughts. And as for the band, THANK YOU to you all. What exceptionally talented and kind people you are. You have no idea how much you all touched my life.

Wendy and Lisa were by far his best colaborators. I chuckled when Wendy said she thought it was a girl the first time she heard Soft and Wet because I thought the same thing lol.

That is why he chose you. He knew that day would come, and he needed a band that would be there for his fans. He saw you as no different from himself. He was you and you were him.

Like how Fink still rocks the stage costume.

Prince was the man

The way Dr.Fink killed that keyboard solo at the end of When Doves Cry is super crazy. One of the best bands ever, all stand alone talents. ❤

The chemistry this band has is still incredible. I'm happy to see the banded together to help one another through their grief via music. Great interview!

Now, that's the best interview around. As a kid growing up in the 80s, They're the best band with Prince! I know there's NPG and Third Eye Girls. They both good. But, The Revolution! SWEET!

true Prince fans absolutely knows them!!

Please never leave us, Revolution...You are keeping us alive!! We love you. The video was so intimate and genuine...We all felt we were gently with you...throughout the interview!! Our Purple Family!!

Still love me some Lisa. She is still so adorable!!!

Yep. Prince gave ME the side eye when I peeked over the DJ booth at Glam Slam West in 1995 to catch a glimpse of him, I was like oh-boy...dropped back down, it was actually kind of funny looking back, but I GOT A PRINCE SIDE EYE! .::Moderniare

IT WAS A GIANT PLEASURE TO HAVE ONCE BEEN ON THE SAME STAGE WITH THESE LEGENDS!

Bobbie Z put it best: the world is just now catching up with what he saw in Prince. I agree. And unless you have been closely following his career and ALL his released music, if you still only associate him with Purple Rain, you are still at least 3 decades behind. And you still don't know PRINCE.

Damn!...Lisa still looks good!..mystical almost!

P has had bands with more skilled and flashier musicians, but he has never had a band that was more iconic and accessible to so many fans. Much love to the Revolution.

Real Talk, I met the Doctor one time, I'll never forget it. He is a real laid back genuine person. He had some very funny stories too. Prince always will be with us.

Charlie Murphy told that hilarious story of meeting Prince, playing his crew in a pickup basketball game and Prince serving them all pancakes afterward. I guess we now know who made the pancakes!

Prince had me at Soft N Wet (15 yrs old). Purple Rain took me to a higher level. Love this band. True, devoted and genuine.

This female host from ABC needs to have her own talk show. Out freaking standing job combining compassion, laughter, and keeping the interviewees interesting on topic. I was hooked every second. This is the way talk shows used to and should be again.

Lisa was always the quiet one. Even during the purple rain tour , a. Very talented wall flower.

The Interviewer was Brilliant,she asked great questions and let them answer. Hat goes off to the Interviewer

thank you Revolution for each story you share about our beloved prince I still can't believe his gone R.I.P prince I got a broken heart again.

they all look so good and the love they had for Prince so moving. I knew i love Revolution

This was definitely the best band Prince ever had.

a yr later, i still cry. my heart has a huge hole in it. i feel like i'll never get over it. i'm crying now typing this. it's still hard to believe. i wish it was all a lie. i've listened to him almost everyday since he left. my fav color is purple because of him. my passion for music exploded when i first heard him. i love him and miss him so much! 💜

THE REVOLUTION! PRINCE'S BEST BAND EVER! They were the first people I thought about when he passed. I'm still not over it.

Prince & The Revolution exuded a strong soul moving mystical vibe. Their showmanship along with music that was loving, hard driving and blues driven was something to behold. A hole in the world. Love you Ptince.

The day he passed, I was numb... until the moment that I turned off the TV, walked to my cds, and Grabbed “ Parade”.... put on #12, And the first lines of the first verse were so haunting... and that is the moment I broke down!!!! It was real..... Sometimes it snows in April.... and there I was on a cool day in April... That was the eeriest feeling listening to thise words!

I loved him because he was different.

Oh my Lord.....Wendy said, "he would be over in our house in tube socks and jeans and then we would go and buy grapes!!!" oh my God.....that made me laugh!!!! i don't laugh that much cuz i'm so darn old.....but that was funny. it is strange to see them without him. i keep forgetting that his spirit is still here....and it is, thank God.

Saw them twice within the past week. SO awesome to experience. We laughed, cried, danced and sang along.

I'm really glad that the core of the Revolution still are together. Not like some of these other groups who have like 9 different versions of the same band. Just know you can't fool the true fans they know who suppose to be in the band......

The unique thing about Prince is that if you're a real fan you may not have liked everything he did like I did but there's definitely enough variety that he'll catch you with more you like than you disliked. R.I.P. Purple One 🌂☔️☂️

I want to personally thank the revolution for such great work and I really can't separate Mr. Nelson from the revolution.

Damn I'M TEARING UP WATCHING THIS.. I GREW UP LISTENING 2 THESE GUYS

Prince said that the Revolution was the best band ever,

I'm so SUPER PROUD TO SEE THE REVOLUTION IN SEATTLE. You did an outstanding job and I was the Security Guard with the mohawk standing right next to you guys in for a minute I started tearing just looking at you five signing autographs and taking photos. I was proud to be giving Wendy and Lisa's guitar pick and I would cherish it for the rest of my life in memory of Prince & The Revolution, I love you guys and keep praying for as long as you can.

Revolution rock on in honor of his Royal Badness and great musical icon Prince

Dez Dickersen who was the first guitarist for the Revolution once described his auditioning process. He and the other hopefulls had already arranged that since he had a gig to play with another band that same evening he should go first. Prince, Andre Cymone and Bobby Z arrived two hours late, no explanation, no apologies, not a single word. They got on stage, Bobby behind the drums, Andre on bass and Prince on the keys and started to lay down a really slow but extremely tight groove and Dez just joined in played what made sense and after a nod from Prince did a solo Before excusing himself reminding them that he had a show to play. So that's when the very first words came from Prince and he told him he'd walk him out. Prince asked Dez questions: where did he see himself in five years, what kind of stage experience did he have, in hindsight, Dez realized that Prince was asking him all this because he wanted to know how he would handle touring, if he was down with Prince's driven musicality. Dez became a Revolutionary but he wasn't aware of it yet.

Nice interview with The Revolution. They all had a great sense of humor and will always be remembered as Prince's first band!!

I have paid tribute to Prince since 1983 live on stage and will continue to as long as I Live

I love the restaurant analogy by Wendy -- chippity, chop!!

I remember when the movie Purple Rain came out., it had such an enormous impact on fans and artists of all genres of music. Some of my best friends were die-hard heavy metal and nothing else. And they were blown away by him. He couldn’t be defined any one genre. He was influenced by several different ones and created his own.

4-20-2018. Tomorrow makes 2 years since his passing . I just finished watching Purple Rain on t.v.

Thank you for staying together!

"Dearly Beloved... We are gathered here today to get through this thing called, Life!"

Music in The Vault = Prince Music Will Live Throughout Many Generations To Come

Wendy's face after Lisa says "it sounded like a good opportunity" 😂

I miss Prince so much Im still grieving. I love and adore Prince and is Music forever

they look great but still grieving. B safe please

Prince is Prince everytime i Saw Him....when i look at the them...they look like common people ....

That’s Prince knocking on heavens door in the background. Sure miss The Purple One’s genius 😇. Great interview!

A very good interview,good questions,her heart was on the same level as the subject matter.

This was so refreshing to see and hear these icons! True musicians in it's pure form! Thanks The Revolution

Prince recruited some great musicians to support him. He knew talent and picked well.

Prince was just 1 of a kind. There'll never B anyone like him and I love all his bands in their own spacial way. They all had their own sound, but the also were very much alike. Prince pushed the boundaries on every level and made funk, rock, melody, pop, psychedelia and best music as amazing as ever possible. I still mourn his death, but I believe he is a free spirit now. I believe he is resting in peace even though he had so much more in him. I just feel like he was worn out due to pain and the hidden medication abuse. It's not what he envisioned, but it was inevitable. so sad and I miss him every day. 💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️

After the Revolution was fired, I always missed Lisa's backing vocals. They were an essential ingredient in the sound I loved. I realize now I was done with new Prince music after Around the World in a Day.

Thank you so much for the mentor interview! Whoever at ABC News decided to give them plenty of time to talk we the hardcore true fans greatly appreciate you! Tremendously!

Purple Rain was admittedly bigger than all of them, but not bigger than Prince. Bravo Revolution. That is why you were his “true” band.

The pancake story was cool. Reminds me of the Dave Chapelle's comedy skit. Guess he was a huge fan of pancakes.

Excellent interview. Finally giving them more that 90 seconds. I hope to see them in concert. All sold out shows. good reviews. I've not heard of a bad critique from people who've attended.

This band was Prince's "bread and butter". The Revolution was extremely talented and awesome.

If they get inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame , they should include Andre Cymone and Dez Dickerson .

Great interview... Love the Revolution; that being said, it's Nov 21, 2018 and I'm still grieving over Prince. 💜🎸🎤🎹🎶🎵🎼🎺💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I am healing and thank you for this showing. It is a shock that he is gone. I pray that they come to Florida.

Some of these comments make me chuckle. Trolls are such sad creatures. Viva Revolution!

OMG! I was listening to music in my Alexa ECO while I was watching this video and the song KISS from PRINCE and The Revolution came on...my GOD I miss him just to think that he's gone make me and my wife cry. Prince and The Revolution was the best band ever. I just think this is a nightmare and I need to wake up!

Saw them last night at the Majestic. They were wonderful! It was the healing that we needed. I didn't cry for once!

WOW! THEY ARE THE BODY AND PRINCE WAS THE SOUL THX 4 POSTING .AND WE ALL GONNA C HIM ONE DAY IN GODS WILL!

Prince was very creative.His music will live forever.His music will get discovered by generations to come!

AWESOME INTERVIEW!!! LOVE THIS BAND 💜FOREVER💜

Awesome interview.

Good to see Bobby Z healthy and well

LONG LIVE the Revolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy to see the Revolution band on ABC after Prince' ROGERS Nelson's passing in 2016. Txs, ABC news,

this was and Is the best band that he had ever had!!!??

I'm crying...I can't explain why...anyway it a testament to his vision that these ppl are still the characters he created

I am a true, die hard, hard core, fan. So I would be the first one to see you all. But the pain. It would be so painful. And depressing for me to be there and him not being there, I know I couldn't enjoy the show.

Prince's most iconic band.

Remember in the Purple Rain Movie when the guy stood on stage and said ; LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. : THE REVOLUTION. !!!

Prince had a little Elvis Presley in him. He was different than all the rest and his greatness is above the rest. Just like Elvis!

due to prince giving the equal credits the album's they made together still get them paid as well and no asswhole family or estate managers can stop them from doing their things. his vision was amazingly on point. RIP to the GOAT.

Wendy reminds me of Carrie Fisher a lil

I absolutely loved Prince music with this band more than the others. The movie and music was one great era that definitely made history. I love all the stories of how they came together, great interview.

Am I alone in hearing how profound the "The World was late" quote from Bobby Z?

What a beautiful interview. And my goodness, not only does their love for him shine through from the off with it but Wendy is just so razor-sharp when she speaks, always has been. Came here through a Dr Fink interview elsewhere and all this time after can still listen to stories about Prince over and over again. Magical stuff.

I'm still broken hearted over the loss. We lost a true rock master 💜
