If you missed seeing Prince live during his lifetime, you unfortunately missed out on a legendary show. Thankfully, live albums and concert footage exist. That includes a brilliantly filmed performance in Las Vegas during the icon's 3121 residency.
Now here is the better part: The film, titled 3121 Las Vegas Live, will be coming to theaters for a limited run in December. You will need to check to see if the movie will be shown near you, but you can do that at IconReleasing.com. There, you will find a list of the theaters carrying the movie, as well as the ability to purchase tickets (you will be directed to the retailer selling the tickets).
The film is only being shown for a limited time, though. Specifically, from December 3rd through the 6th, but if you can't get to a showing then, you will have another chance to see the concert, though not on a big screen.
Prince's 3121 Las Vegas Live coming to theaters in December
On December 11th, the expanded version of 3121, Prince's 2006 album, will be released, and a Blu-ray version of the Las Vegas concert will be part of the packaging. The drawback is that the film will not immediately be made available for digital streaming, but only on disc after it leaves its limited theatrical run.
The concert features 21 tracks, including five from the 2006 album. If you stopped listening to Prince after his 1980s heyday, you missed quite a lot. The 3121 album is excellent, if more R&B-based than something like Purple Rain. The record shows the evolution of a true musical genius.
"Purple Rain" is part of the performance, of course, as well as "Kiss," "If I Was Your Girlfriend," and "U Got the Look." This means that if you don't know the 2006 album well, you will know many of the other songs performed during the concert.
During his historic career, Prince recorded 39 studio albums; the last two were released in 2015 and were called Hit n Run Phase One and Hit n Run Phase Two. The icon died in 2016, and four posthumous albums have been released so far, including 2026's Timeless.
16 of Prince's LPs reached the top 10 on the Billboard album charts in the United States, including four No. 1s: Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, the Batman soundtrack in 1989, and 3121.
