Prince in concert at the Greensboro Coliseum on November 15, 1984.

His 1984 shows held the record for the longest multi-night stint in Greensboro Coliseum history — performing for more than 45,000 fans over three nights -- until Garth Brooks surpassed him with five shows in 2014.

Tickets to Prince's 1984 show cost $15 to $17.

Susan Ladd, a features reporter at the time, reviewed the 1984 concert. "Rock royalty came to Greensboro Wednesday night, rising from below the stage of the Greensboro Coliseum in a cloud of purple smoke," she wrote.
