november 29, 1984, prince arranged and funded a free concert for the students of gallaudet university, a school for the deaf and hard of hearing. the surprise concert was kept secret until late in the day to deter gatecrashers. the concert featured interpreters, and the crowd can be seen signing “i love you”, which prince reciprocated. he toned down some risqué lyrics while performing his hits. crowd goers raved over feeling the vibrations, feeling his music. images from the gallaudet university archives.
