Here are a few of the best events happening on Thursday and how to tune in (all times are Eastern).
Travel Back in Time With Prince and the Revolution
9 p.m. on YouTube
The Prince estate, in partnership with YouTube, is hosting a watch party of “Prince and the Revolution: Live,” the renowned concert captured at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., on March 30, 1985. The show, filmed at the peak of their Purple Rain Tour, was the first live concert footage that Prince officially released as both a television broadcast and home video. And this will be the first time it’s streamed. Among the hits preformed are “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Delirious,” “1999,” “Little Red Corvette,” “Darling Nikki,” “When Doves Cry” and “Purple Rain.” Tune in an hour early for a live Q. and A. with the Revolution drummer Bobby Z.
When: The preshow starts at 8 p.m., and the watch party is at 9. The concert will be available through Sunday night.
Where: On Prince’s YouTube Channel: Watch the preshow here, and the concert here.
A Tribute to Dylan Thomas
8 a.m. on 92Y Online
In celebration of International Dylan Thomas Day (yes, there is such a thing), the 92Y’s Poetry Center will release a never-before-seen recording of a 2014 performance of Thomas’s play, “Under Milk Wood,” featuring the actor Michael Sheen. Thomas gave his first reading in the United States at 92Y in 1950, and on May 14, 1953, “Under Milk Wood” premiered at the 92Y’s Kaufmann Concert Hall (the reason it was appointed his day), with Thomas reading a number of roles. In 2014, on the same stage, Sheen directed and starred in the work, about life in a Welsh fishing village (Thomas was born in Swansea, Wales), featuring an all-Welsh cast: Kate Burton, Karl Johnson, Mark Lewis Jones, Francine Morgan and Matthew Aubrey. The broadcast played live on BBC Radio Wales, but the footage has never before been available to the public. Tickets are $10.
When: 8. a.m., and it will be available through June 12.
Where: 92Y Online.
