"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a classic song written by George Harrison of The Beatles, featured on their 1968 self-titled double album, often referred to as "The White Album." The song is renowned for its poignant lyrics and expressive guitar work. It reflects Harrison's contemplations on love and the state of the world.
A notable tribute to this iconic song took place during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2004 induction ceremony. This tribute featured a stellar lineup: Prince, Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty.
Prince: The legendary musician Prince delivered a memorable performance during the tribute. Known for his incredible guitar skills and dynamic stage presence, Prince's rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was both powerful and emotional. His guitar solo, in particular, was widely praised for its virtuosity and its ability to capture the song's essence. Prince’s performance was seen as a standout moment in the tribute, showcasing his deep respect for both the song and its original artist, George Harrison.
Jeff Lynne: As a member of the Traveling Wilburys and a long-time collaborator with George Harrison, Jeff Lynne played a significant role in this tribute. Lynne, who was also involved in the production of Harrison's posthumous works, contributed to the performance on guitar and vocals. His presence in the tribute was both fitting and respectful, given his close musical relationship with Harrison.
Tom Petty: The late Tom Petty, another key figure in the tribute, was a friend and collaborator of George Harrison. Petty, known for his distinctive voice and rock sensibilities, performed alongside Prince and Lynne. His contribution to the tribute was both heartfelt and powerful, complementing the performance with his own unique style.
The tribute was notable not just for the performance itself but for the way it brought together these influential musicians to honor Harrison’s legacy. It captured the spirit of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and celebrated the profound impact Harrison’s music has had on generations of artists.
The look on George’s son Dahni’s face when Prince starts going off is Priceless.
Pure Joy !!
Dani still had the ability to be starstruck.🤩
Petty too tho, all smiles, like wow.
My guitar watches this video while I'm at work
LOLOL not your guitar with the "It's Fine/Dead Inside" guy smile
😊😅
lmao
👏
From an old school metal head and rock guy, I've always said Prince is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Just an all around great musician
Agreed. I read somewhere that Prince could play 17 different instruments. I can't even NAME 17 different instruments.
@@GREENPUKE99 Prince played 21 different instruments, according to google. Literal genius
Metalhead here... Prince is an absolute inspiration. And an even better bass player and drummer than he is a guitarist
Metal was my thing in the 80s and didn't give Prince credit...Until the ending solo in " Let's Go Crazy."
You have my attention.
Agree! And he makes it look easy!!
This is perfection..RIP George,♥️ Tom,♥️ Prince.♥️
All gone too soon!😿
George’s son looks so much like him it’s crazy. And the joy on his face playing with all these legends. And prince absolutely killed it 🔥🔥🔥
Dahni looks like a perfect hologram of George on stage, still incredible to witness.
The Best F U to Rolling stone mag from Prince
I LOVE the way George Harrison's son reacts to Prince.
I've always said that Prince is THE most underrated guitar player of all time. One of the best!
I remember a reporter once asked Eric Clapton/ what's it like being the greatest guitarist in the world. And Eric said I don't know/ go ask prince.
These guys are great. Prince is king!!
@@coolguy123278 a King?
George’s son Dahni is the kid playing next to Tom Petty. It freaks me out sometimes when I see Dahni because he looks so much like his father and especially now that he’s older. This is a fabulous tribute.
I love when Prince gave Petty a look like, " I'm going to go off , hope you are prepared " ❤
Petty was indeed prepared
God DAMN I miss those two dudes. What a world we live in today, what a loss it is to not have them both here still making music right now
Petty's expression, "shi...t, let's do this.".😎
Oh man this is one of the most epic performances. I love watching George's son Dhani up on the stage playing guitar next to Tom Petty and watching Prince. He was definately enjoying Prince shred his guitar.🎸🔥🔥
It's STILL unnerving how much Dhani looks like his father. But damn what a classic composition from George.
So Tom Petty or one of the other guys invited Prince to join them on stage to do the solo after Prince was dissed by Rolling Stone's list of greatest guitarists ever. Guess he showed them 😂
I also heard that Eric Clapton was once asked how it felt to be the best guitarist in the world. He said I don't know; I'm not Prince? ❤ I may be misremembering who said what but you get the idea😅😅
Prince loved to ham it up. What a performer!!
Prince always had such a sweet smile. ❤
Prince is FINALLY beginning to get recognized in recent years...
Coincidentally, earlier today I read that his solo was directed at Rolling Stone mag for not including him amongst the greatest 100 guitarists.
Having seen this countless times, lately been watching the others amused, especially Tom who gestured for another solo. There was no rehearsal with Prince. He just told producers not to worry
I just came here to post that so I'm glad I scrolled through and saw that you did that already. Lol
@@michellec2514 Me too lol.. The other thing is the guy who left him off the list is on the board of the Hall of Fame....
There was a thing about the guy who did the initial solo, who I think annoyed some folks for trying to take more of the spotlight than deserved.
Prince nailed this tune. When he played to Dhani it was just priceless.
Great `frendition` and testament to the great music we can all make together....Prince is a fabulous showman too, up there with Freddy Mercury,
Absolutely fantadtic such legendary talent all in one place, each one amazing in their own right! And what a beautiful piece of music RIP George
Anybody who got into Prince albums knew he was a guitar god before this, but it was great to see him just wild out live like this among other legends. As you point out, everyone on stage was at the top of their field-and they were all still in awe of Prince. That’s how good he was.
Prince just might be the best all around musician the world was ever blessed with?
Prince is one of the greatest of all time. Sadly missed, taken too soon. RIP Prince✌️🏴
Prince threw his guitar up and as far as we know it is still orbiting the earth 🌍🌎
Legend has it that Prince threw it up to heaven to play it later
Prince was a very underrated guitarist.- outstanding performance!
I can't help but smile when i watch this one.
One of George’s best I believe, thanks guys
Prince's made his guitar actually weep! the greatest to ever do it.
When people talk about the guitar greats, Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, Blackmore, they forget that Prince was right up there with the BEST of the guitar gods. That dude shredded !
His Royal Majesty….
Might be the most underrated guitarist of all time
Guitar players know Prince could always shred.
I get goosebumps every time I hear this version. Wish I could see more of Prince on guitar! 🤟😎
If you want to see a LOT more of Prince on guitar, check out "Prince Live - Play that funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage 4/28/11" for starters. "Prince Motherless Child Live" is another astonishing performance. Also "Prince - 1+1+1=3 (Live At The Aladdin, Las Vegas, 12/15/2002)" - the list goes on...
@@karenfryberger4260 Thank you .
You should check out his cover of "Just My Imagination" from Holland.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Thank you!
@@jimquackenbush2821 You're welcome. I think you'll be pretty awestruck. Hope so, anyway. Cheers.
Damn, I miss Prince so much! This video always puts a smile on my face. He is killin’ it and looks so HAPPY to be doing so. His cheeky smile, the backward half stage dive, and Dhani Harrison behind him (George’s son) is having a great time watching him.
What a loss. I bloody well hate 2016! That year took too many greats.
Great reaction, fellas. Thank you. ❤😊
He throws the guitar up to heaven where it sat there and waited for him
The guy drumming was Paul Schaeffer who was the band leader for The David Letterman Show. Quite an accomplished musician himself.
Eh? The guy at the drum kit is Steve Ferrone, of the Average White Band and Tom Petty's Heartbreakers. The guy behind the congas playing the tambourine is Jim Capaldi from Traffic.
I never realized that Prince was that good of a guitarist! Jeff Lynn was perfect for the part of the song he sang. This is my first time hearing this tribute and I really enjoyed it.
That was one of the best solos I’ve ever heard
When greatness can spot other greatness and just let him go. 💜🤘
Prince is top 20 guitarists who ever walked the earth IMO.
Prince was inducted that same night into the hall of fame, so it was so appropriate that he got to show off his chops. So missed.
For being called the quiet Beatle he certainly had a lot to say in his music RIP George 🙏❤️
I want to cry , I am SOOO grateful I grew up when I did . ( 1970-80 )
Prince was left off of the 25 greatest guitar players ever that day. Has Tom Petty to lower and step back the vocals for his solo and boy did he slay it! When Prince passed, this was the very first song that I played. Purple rain came out when I was 10 years old. I watched the movie when I was young. He became somewhat a prince fan when I got older and found out all the instruments he played to me. He was a phenom.. RIP Player
I've watched this dozens of times and my jaw drops everytime ❤
There’s a huge back story to this.
Price was pissed that Rolling Stone snubbed him in the list of 100 best guitar players of all time, so he had an ax to grind, also, Tom Petty and Prince had a huge mutual respect for each other and wanted to play together and they talked and felt this would kill two birds with one stone.
Lynn’s guitar player didn’t want Prince there because he felt he would overshadow him (and he did) but Petty put his foot down and said Prince will absolutely play.
Which is why you can see them both smile at each other during the solo.
Jeff and Toms harmonies are amazing.
I've known for a long time that prince was a great guitarist, seen him in concert a few times and he always left the guitar begging for mercy.
Prince was known as one of the best session guitarists of all time! A true hero for me, a metal head lol!
Prince is the greatest performer I've ever seen 😍 💜
Looking at George's son, it's like he is there ❤ excellent
Prince "Hold my Beer" ❤❤❤❤
Yeah man Prince is an absolute killer guitarist! He is also a giant on stage
Prince was definitely feeling his inner Rory Gallagher there!
The story I heard was that a list of the top XX guitarist had come out that day or week and Prince wasn’t on it. And he was pissed. He was determined to show them how wrong they were. Boy did he. Absolute legend.
For another legendary performance, check out Prince’s Super Bowl Halftime show. It was pissing down rain and the producers were freaking out. They thought he might back out of the show. He said, hold my beer. 💜💜💜
Absolutely!! Easily the best Super Bowl performance of all time!
When the producers asked him about the rain, he asked them if they could make it rain harder. Absolutely the greatest superbowl halftime show EVER!!
Prince is such a underrated guitar player.
Prince is an incredible guitarist. There is a club in downtown Minneapolis called The Dakota. It's known for jazz and blues. Prince always used to show up there late at night and just jam. I had the privilege of seeing Prince all over Minneapolis at random in the 90's. He' was an utter genius.
George was amazing…human, talent and contribution to the Beatles was incredible and more than you know unless you dig in to how much he really participated
Go down the George Harrison road…..what is life, dark horse, my sweet lord. He was always my Beatle…
What a night . It’s not a competition ,it’s a communion, they created that performance together The joy all the musicians showed honoring George with one of his most iconic songs. Prince was a Showman .RIP to all the artists we’ve lost on that stage
Nobody said it was. 😀
Prince with the rarest of all moves: The TRUST FALL Guitar Solo. :)~ That was 🔥🔥🔥
GOAT is gonna GOAT
Prince is KING HERE❤
When Prince said I can show you better than I can tell you
I know George was not the most popular, but he was always my favorite Beatle.
George Harrison and Prince were both being inducted into the Hall of Fame that night, so Prince of course got an extra well deserved spotlight. If you ever do any reactions to Prince, I think his best stuff is from the VHS Sign O' The Times. It's here on TH-cam for purchase.
Prince didn't rehearse this although he did attend rehearsals!!! He just watched and then he left!!! This classic is the result!!! One of the most underrated guitarists in the world!!! He mastered 28 instruments and he is untouchable on virtually any instrument!!! Stevie Wonder is the only other musician in that rare air!!! Bravo, Prince!!!
The young man by Tom Petty is Dhani Harrison,George’s son. This was his induction into the rock n roll hall of fame as a solo artist.
Y’all should hear the original! The haunting voice of George and the distinctive tone of his guitar which, on the studio recording, was accompanied by Eric Clapton!
He just tore it up ❤ love this one
George wrote and performed this song. R.I.P. George
The young guy beside Tom Petty is George Harrisons son Dhani. Looks like his Dad.
This was George Harrison’s second (this time for his solo career, the first was as part of the Beatles) induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, on stage for this performance were:
* Tom Petty - 3 Grammys and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; (playing twelve string acoustic)and from his band the Heartbreakers’ Scott Thurston (playing bass) and drummer Steve Ferrone.
* Jeff Lynne - 1 Grammy and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (playing electric guitar with hat, beard and curly hair) and from his band ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) and Marc Mann (plays first solo) guitarist for ELO.
* Stevie Winwood - 2 Grammys and member of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (playing organ) was part of The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic and solo career and Jim Capaldi (from Traffic with Winwood) on percussion (tambourine).
* Billy Preston - 2 Grammys and in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; (on piano) played keyboards for the Beatles and had a solo career.
* Dhani Harrison (George’s son) - 1 Grammy; (playing six string acoustic), young man standing next to Tom Petty.
* Prince - 7 Grammys (playing electric guitar) who was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that year.
Note that the Grammy mentions are wins, it doesn’t count the numerous nominations they received. Also Petty and Lynne were part of the Traveling Wilbury’s along with George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. Harrison, Petty, Lynne, Winwood and Preston are also song writers and producers.
Dhani Harrison, Georges son on acoustic. Prince was always very talented. When he was a teenager, he told my older brother he was going to be the next Hendrix. He threw the guitar to the guy who had been holding him up.
I wish Prince would have rocked out more like that performance. 😅He was incredible 😲
And Prince was a self-taught musician, songwriter, music arranger, and a badass singer, dancer, and showman besides. He also could play piano, keyboards, bass guitar, and saxophone. Unparalleled talent!
Prince could fluently play over 20 instruments by the time he was a teenager. I have heard that even though he was severely undersized, he was genuinely a good hockey and basketball player as well - that wasn't just a Charlie Murphy skit, that skit was based on reality LOL
Funny, I'm just a little too old to be much of a Prince fan. In fact, prior to this performance, I didn't even know he could play.
He really could.
Respect for Prince.
Prince was taken by surprise; he had never played this song before ... not too shabby ...
Go 'head Prince!!!
One of the most perfect musical moments. Love Prince and the fact he's THIS good at guitar is just crazy on top of everything else. He doesn't get mentioned enough, but people who know know.
Don't forget the great Bille Preston on the keys. He played on a few of the Beatles songs and was good friends with George.
Great reaction! I love this tribute ❤️ We actually have tickets to see Jeff Lynne’s ELO this coming Friday, 9/20/24 in Philadelphia! Can’t wait!! We saw them in 2019, and Dhani Harrison and his band opened for them!! Great performances!! Dhani also joined ELO on stage to perform the Traveling Wilbury’s song, Handle With Care ❤ Thanks again for this reaction. I always enjoy your videos!🥰❤️
New prince documentary says this solo was an act of revenge against rolling stone for leaving him off of their greatest guitarist list.
Next to Tom Petty on guitar is George Harrisons son.❤
Beatles' recording of this song had George's BFF Eric Clapton playing guitar. Great song.
I've just found an old tape of a private after party Prince played in Amsterdam , in an old cupboard draw (I'm renovating my house ) someone I once knew live-bootlegged, having blagged his way in to the gig . The guitar is f'ing awesome .He barely takes a break for an hour and it blows my brainz how good that man was on the guitar
Great reaction guys Again...
Rock and roll.
Guy on the tambourine in the back going ham cracks me up every time. Prince just killed this...and looked like he was having a blast. If no one has mentioned it- Rolling Stone had just come out with the 100 best guitarists- and Prince was left off completely. This was his answer to that snub.
I would say most guitarists know how talented prince was
Prince's infamous guitar toss....
The younger gentleman playing guitar, slightly behind Tom Petty, is George Harrison’s son, who clearly enjoyed Prince’s solo. Not only was Prince’s playing phenomenal but, even within that group, he was the consummate showman.
Not sure how many times I've watched this but alaways as great as the first time. Same thing with Princes Loring Park Sessions, always a great listen. Anyone who hasn't listened to the Loring Park sessions '77 needs to.
Perfection..it makes me weep..
Im not crying your crying
A guy walks behind Prince and catches the guitar. You just didn't really see him from the camera angle.
You see him holding the guitar as Prince walks away. Nice trick! 🤙😎
Recently just hearing the back story of this performance I love that Prince did his thang and mic dropped out of there. Mad disrespect leaving him off the top 100 guitar players list Rolling Stone.
I’m going to see ELO Friday in Cincinnati ❤. Your n for a treat:)
brilliant
Great, epic stuff. Hope you’ll get around to The Beatles version at some point. And of course, more Prince.
ALOTTA people FORGET how great a guitarist Prince was. He is top 10 ALL TIME NO DOUBT
Prince put his name in the books before most people were born. Prince owned his own fully appointed recording studio that rivalled any studio you can name as a middle school student.
Should be especially concerning to people since Prince didn't come from a super wealthy family. That dude was ALL business.
People just don't know what a GREAT MUSICIAN Prince was. Prince was straight up pimping in that performance. Say what you will but I don't think anyone can match his SWAG- STYLE and PURE PIMPNESS.
