Description

Group of eight different original daily memos issued to the members of Prince's Purple Rain Tour entourage in 1985. Today tour managers send daily memos/schedules to tour staff via text, but in 1985 they would make up a memo, have the hotel run Xerox copies, and then slide them under each member’s hotel doors. These memos include hotel rooming lists, venue information, schedules for the tour concerts, and travel schedules. Prince, Sheila E., and members of the Revolution are all listed under pseudonyms—a fun puzzle for the dedicated fan. Included are memos from Nov. 28, 1964 in Washington, D.C.; Dec. 3 in Toronto; Dec. 14 in Chicago; Jan. 14, 1985 in Houston; Jan. 15 in Atlanta; Feb. 20 in Los Angeles; Feb. 28 in San Francisco; and Mar. 22 in New York. In overall fine condition.
