Prince’s Lost Vegas Concert Is Finally Coming to Theaters — Tickets Go on Sale Today
The Prince Estate is opening the vault. Prince: 3121 Las Vegas Concert — a previously unseen 154-minute film of Prince’s January 20, 2007 residency show at the Rio in Las Vegas — opens in U.S. and Canadian theaters for a limited run beginning December 3, restored in 4K with Dolby Atmos sound.
Advance tickets go on sale today, Wednesday, Nov. 11, and the official concert trailer just dropped on Prince’s YouTube channel — watch it here.
The film captures the 3121 era at full power. The setlist runs through “Black Sweat,” “Kiss,” “Purple Rain” and “U Got the Look” — the purple one in his prime, in front of a Vegas crowd that knew it was witnessing something special.
The same show is getting a live album, 3121 Las Vegas Live, on November 27 for Record Store Day Black Friday — a crystal blue triple-vinyl and 2CD set.
Then on December 11, the 3121 Expanded Edition arrives with the original 12-track album plus 10 previously unreleased recordings, including “Time of Ur Life,” out now, and acoustic versions of “The Word,” “Love” and “Te Amo Corazón.” Full details via Consequence and Parade.
