In this over 2 hour conclusion of SEGMENT 9, "The Purple Rain Music", we start by discussing Sheila and Prince’s relationship in 1984 right after the “Purple Rain” movie is released.  She says she was stressed and under pressure from Prince, not to reveal to the press, their “relationship”, since Prince wanted to keep things “private”, all as Sheila is about to open for Prince on the upcoming “Purple Rain” tour. 

The Time was over, with both Morris Day and Jesse Johnson leaving to go solo by the end of the summer. 

Prince had many more hits on the charts that summer outside of the “Purple Rain” hits.  Sheila E and The Time had hit songs on the charts from their albums, Chaka Khan scored a hit with a cover of Prince’s 1979 song, “I Feel For You”, and Sheena Easton with “Sugar Walls” all written by Prince. 

With “The Family”’s album complete, Prince is dedicating most of his time to recording his next new album.  The Revolution begins to get upset at Prince for “sneaking off to the studio without them” to record the new music.  The are also upset about money, considering that “Purple Rain” has now made Prince a multi-millionaire. 

Apollonia 6’s album fails to produce any real hits, and doesn’t sell well.  Warner Brothers stops promoting the record, and the group disappears. 

Prince is done with the “Around the World in a Day” album, well ahead of the “Purple Rain” tour, and those around Prince are surprised at how different this new record is from Purple Rain.  This was no accident, since Prince decided to make a record as a “Thank you” for his long time fans.  Also, Prince is anxious to “distance” himself from “Purple Rain” at the height of its success, since he feels that the album and movie project has taken him away from himself and his true essence and being.  He wants to get back to who he was creatively and spiritually, before “Purple Rain”.

However, the success of Purple Rain has made Prince a target for widespread criticism from religious and political groups who feel his music is filthy and “un-Christian”.  This was when the PMRC was formed, and there were Congressional hearings held to discuss the “indecency” of and need for censoring much of the popular music of the time, many who made up the “Filthy 15”, songs that these groups had determined were indecent and should be banned.  Prince of course was on this list a few times, and was the main catalyst for the black and white “Parental Advisory” stickers that are still stamped onto music to this day. 

We take a detailed look at the "Purple Rain" tour, and its ritualistic coding.  In the series, we decode most of Prince’s tours of these first 7 years, since we now know that the label and its minions were setting Prince up for this “mountaintop” success of “Purple Rain” with all the evil rituals, evil intent gematria coding, and layers of mind control programming.  But when he achieved the success, now what?  Well, the numbers present in the coding show the “murderous intent” of Warner Brothers Records to “take Prince out” and reap untold money from the 6 albums he left behind.  This is the 3D physical realm reason for Prince’s death, but as we will see through the series, there are higher dimensional reasons as well why Prince was eventually taken away from this life when in 2016.  But looking back at this time in Prince’s life and career, we can see now that there was another evil plan afoot in 1984 and 1985.

Though the tour is selling out all over the country, as Prince mania is in full swing, Sheila’s opening act is not as well received.  By this time, she is being reported in the media as “Prince’s Girlfriend” (The managers’ doing of course), but is regarded by fans as a “Prince wannabee or clone”.  Sheila says that her relationship with Prince began and became intimate during the “Purple Rain” tour. 

We will look at the “Purple Rain” tour in detail and see a lot of rare footage and interviews from this time.  We will also take a close look at Prince’s spiritual conflicts, that “came to a head” at this time on the “Purple Rain” tour, playing out publicly in the stage show. 

Early in 1985, “Purple Rain” begins to receive its accolades from the music industry.  We look at Prince & The Revolution at the 1985 AMAs (American Music Awards), and the “We Are the World” scandal and backlash that followed.  Prince refusing to sing on the record or attend the recording session caused a huge national “scandal”, and Prince was ridiculed and villainized in the media for the next few years. 

During the tour, after a few “freak accidents”, Prince begins to realize that this tour may have been intended as his LAST tour.  Prince is also isolating himself as he works through “dark night of the soul” work and communes with guidance. 

Prince's mind control programming breaks as a result of spiritual revelations, and Prince begins to realize what has been going on around him in these first 7 years of his career. Prince also realizes that he is in danger, and stops the tour early, and does not continue on to Europe or Asia.  

Morris signs a hefty 7 figure 3 movie deal with 20^th Century Fox, and Jesse Johnson signs a deal with A&M Records.  He forms “Jesse Johnson’s Review” with Jimmy and Terry’s replacements from “The Time”, and has some meager solo success. 

The Managers and The Revolution are shocked and disappointed that Prince is unwilling to ride out the “Purple Rain” success for as long as he can, but Prince has had enough and is ready to refocus on the new music. 

*The reason for the length of this episode was due to the amount of live clips and rare interviews included, mainly of Prince and The Revolution on the “Purple Rain” tour.
