The Lively Morgue is a daily photo blog from the New York Times in which an original photo from the newspaper's archives is reposted along with tidbits of information gleaned from the historical article it accompanied. Along with a rescan of the original photograph, the backs of each photo are also scanned, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the editorial process of one of the world's best newspapers.
Today's posting features a shot from March 24th, 1993 showing the late musical artist Prince performing at Radio City Music Hall to a sold-out crowd.
March 24, 1993: Prince at Radio City Music Hall. “He has been making albums since 1978, most of them as a one-man band, and while rhythms and techniques have evolved through the years, Prince’s ambition to be all seducers to all listeners has barely wavered,” reviewed The Times. “The attempts he made at social relevance in the mid-1980’s have vanished; now, it’s back to the bedroom.”
