Prince, Prince and The Revolution - Let's Go Crazy (Live in Syracuse, NY, 3/30/85) James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome—the March 30, 1985 Purple Rain Tour stop that was beamed to millions live via satellite and captured for posterity in the Grammy Award-nominated concert film Prince and The Revolution: Live

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called "life"
Electric word, life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
Let's go crazy (woo)
Let's go crazy
Let's go crazy
Let's go crazy
If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around
At least you got friends
You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
Ah, ah is all I heard
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
Oh no, lets go
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, there it is
Yeah yeah, no no (oh yeah)
We're all excited (all excited)
Don't know why (I don't know why)
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die
When we do
What's it all for? (What's it all for?)
Better live now
Before the grim reaper comes knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let elevator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go
Let's go crazy (let's go crazy)
Let's get nuts (let's get nuts)
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go
C'mon, baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Oh (Crazy)
Are we gonna let elevator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go
Let's go crazy (let's go crazy)
Let's get nuts (let's get nuts)
Let's look for the purple banana (let's look)
Until they put us in the truck, let's go ('til they put us in the truck)
Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright
Make everything go wrong
Oh
Ooh
Yeah yeah, let's go
