Description

Prince’s personal copy of a DVD-R containing rare behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage of Prince’s live performance at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, which aired on ABC and was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 19, 2013. The DVD top is annotated in black felt tip, indicating that it was recorded on May 18, 2013, and that it contains the “Last 2 Passes” through the planned performance, which contained renditions of the songs ‘Let's Go Crazy’ and ‘FixUrLifeUp,’ the latter performed with 3rdeyegirl. Each ‘pass’ featured a unique guitar solo that Prince used to creatively transition the two songs. In fine condition. In addition to performing, Prince was also the recipient of that year's Billboard Icon Award, which was presented to him by artists Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu.




From the Prince collection of Christopher Gaither and accompanied by a letter of provenance.
