The funniest part is from 2:35 when Cory Henry first manually adjusts George Collier's transcription and then checks if he is rushing or dragging compared to the sheet music :D
For me it's because the stream of notes are mediated by substantial melodic phrases so your ear gets the satisfaction of tension and release. If he just played the fast stuff it'd be boring, and if he just played the melodic stuff you wouldn't get the release of tension.
2:20 i can't say this enough, this moment is so incredibly special to me. the sheer overwhelming emotion that flooded over my body quite literally made me forget i even existed, i haven't been one with the music like that in such a long time.
The actual soundtrack of Sky meadow in RoR2 was a homage, if i recall it correctly, to Purple Rain, which you can tell by the name of actual song(The Rain Formerly Known as Purple). Prince, the author of Purple Rain, also had a name of The Artist Formerly Known As Prince
Purple Rain is a slow rock ballad at ~ 60 bpm. She was clearly clapping on every beat. The song is so slow that clapping on either 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 at 60 bpm feels very weird. Try it. The notation here is essentially double time to avoid having to write 64th notes during Cory's fast runs. Btw, the original sheet music is written in "actual" time (e.g. Pur-ple is 2 eighth notes, whereas here it's 2 quarter notes). Ironically, while she's truly feeling the music, you're complaining that her clapping doesn't match up with measure chosen here for notation convenience. Great comment buddy. 😩
There's something about this song, man. This performance, Marco Parisi's Seaboard performance at NAMM, and Prince's performance at the Super Bowl halftime are all some of the best live musical moments ever.
MAN I'M SO GLAD THIS IS HERE!! Purple Rain is such an amazing song that anyone as talented and skilled as Cory Henry can play dynamically (Even Prince himself didn't perform it the same way twice live). This was the most majestic this song has ever been; Cory and the Metropole orchestra really transcended this song from a rock ballad
I guess the tears in this song come from something different. In the beginning he says its a special one to him, and you see hee is very sad the first moments of the piece. IMHO he is playing this song for his father he lost in early years . And that also makes the song really touching. What a great musician but also man he is.
I truly wish that Prince himself could have witnessed this performance to see how much we love him. This is why they now say, we need to give the people that we love, their flowers Before they die. 💐💜
I think a song was inspired by this song called "The Rain Formerly Known as Purple" by Chris Christoudoulou. That melody at 1:05 is nearly identical to the one from The Rain Formerly Known as Purple so it would make sense
2:33 first it was at the end of the chorus when I started to get little tear drops, then started crying at the vocals and they had to finish it PERFECTLY! cried my ass off that was too good
I hear this insanely amazing rendition of a Prince classic, and all I can think of is Prince was a certifiable genius. So miss His Royal Purpleness and his music 🎶
You should have done the rest of it after this point when it drops right out and its just interplay mostly with him and the strings. Great exercise in harmony.
Gracias por esto, esta interpretación es histórica!!!!!!!! Pero falta la mejor parte, que es lo que sigue al solo!! El clima que generan es pura magia!
best moment 0:29 and end chord hit
For me is 0:18. Those magic bends 'till he gets to the high F on the Gm9 chord just mesmerizes and gives me the chills every time. ❤
Nope it's 1:03 😊 .... looking forward tto others favorite moments ! So many of them to choose from
@@esauponce9759 i have to agree 100%. the tension is soooo good
I get goosebumps here every time..
Yes, and also 1:05-1:35, but really from there through the end of the hammond stuff too
The funniest part is from 2:35 when Cory Henry first manually adjusts George Collier's transcription and then checks if he is rushing or dragging compared to the sheet music :D
Hahahaha! Best comment
Hahaha! Good one.
Spot on
HAHAHA NO FUCKING WAY
Goat reply, bless you
0:18 Those bends, my goodness, sent chills down my spine. Absolutely beautiful solo from one of the best musicians in the world!
Can we appreciate the durability of the pitch-bend wheel?
Guy must wear his out like I wear out silver plate on valve blocks lol
That A natural over the Gm at 0:53 is so heart wrenching
Power of 9
Omg it destroyed my heart you're right
yeah bro
Cory is one of those soloists who manages to just splurt out a stream of notes that's still listenable
I really can’t tell if this is a compliment or an insult
listenable is an understatement here
For me it's because the stream of notes are mediated by substantial melodic phrases so your ear gets the satisfaction of tension and release. If he just played the fast stuff it'd be boring, and if he just played the melodic stuff you wouldn't get the release of tension.
Vinnin126 is one of those commenters who manages to just splurt a bunch of words
@@HayamaiProductions goteem, that sure showed me
2:20 i can't say this enough, this moment is so incredibly special to me. the sheer overwhelming emotion that flooded over my body quite literally made me forget i even existed, i haven't been one with the music like that in such a long time.
Brings tears to my eyes every time without fail.
I know... I'm a 66 year old man and I can't listen to this performance without tearing up.... It's unbelievable.... 😢❤
oh my god same, that chord change hits so hard
Just cannot agree more. The power that an incredible arrangement (and playing) has on our emotions!
When you're stuck in one position but still maintain rockstar energy!
that's why the Keytar was invented xD
I've never heard someone make a synthesizer sing before, but lord I'm so happy I did now
One of the best things I've ever heard.
North Sea Jazz always has amazing sound engineers. So many great clips around.
Risk of Rain 2 Sky Meadow type beat.
Jokes aside that's was the BEST solo I have heard. Hands down.
my thoughts as well
The comment I was looking for
The actual soundtrack of Sky meadow in RoR2 was a homage, if i recall it correctly, to Purple Rain, which you can tell by the name of actual song(The Rain Formerly Known as Purple). Prince, the author of Purple Rain, also had a name of The Artist Formerly Known As Prince
I think I’ve listened to this song a hundred times. Every time it hits right. Rest in Power Prince
alternate title: you can't make a moog SING!
i’m not crying, you’re crying 😔
We’re all crying
1:22 Years and years of practice to reach perfection and as a reward you get people clapping on 1 & 3. 😩
And the enthusiasm 😂
Better than those absolute criminals who clap on 2 and 4
You will always have people clapping on 1 3
Just find a better sound engineer

@@johnredberg 113 bpm, 57 is if you're playing half speed
1:02 always gives me chills
There's something about this song, man. This performance, Marco Parisi's Seaboard performance at NAMM, and Prince's performance at the Super Bowl halftime are all some of the best live musical moments ever.
0:43 goodness gracious

I don't think I could ever thank you enough for introducing me to this performance.
1:20 yeah girl you got it 🎉
I was so into it and then 1:20 happened
1:05 I appreciate that one natural being transcribed.
title wasn't kidding, crying my eyes out because of this. Cory is a beast.
Quite simply the most beautiful, soul-stirring performance I have ever seen on TH-cam. It moved me to my core when I first encountered it.
You know you're on fire when the people who are playing with you smile.
Thank you. Nothing beats heart and soul in dramatic fashion, so beautiful.
This is absolutely amazing, and it's even crazier that you can see Owen Wilson singing at 2:15.
😂😂😂😂
bro i thought the same thing when i saw him lol
I guess the tears in this song come from something different.
In the beginning he says its a special one to him, and you see hee is very sad the first moments of the piece.
IMHO he is playing this song for his father he lost in early years . And that also makes the song really touching. What a great musician but also man he is.

One the best solos. This version of purple rain is amazing. Always i listen.
I have been waiting for this transcription for a while now. Pure soul from Cory.
My personal favorite section is the one that starts 1:05 and I’m not sure what about it I like so much it just feels really good to me
I think a song was inspired by this song called "The Rain Formerly Known as Purple" by Chris Christoudoulou. That melody at 1:05 is nearly identical to the one from The Rain Formerly Known as Purple so it would make sense
@@atomic3695 it is actually just the solo in Purple Rain by Prince. The Rain Formerly Known as Purple just uses that motif.
@@anabomination1788 I guess that’s what i meant, thanks
full body goosebumps 😮
No, this mixdown makes me cry actual tears
Wow! He was in the groove for sure! Excellent!
this entire performance is amazing. Highly reccomend watching the full original version.
2:33 first it was at the end of the chorus when I started to get little tear drops, then started crying at the vocals and they had to finish it PERFECTLY! cried my ass off that was too good
Truly the spirit of Prince was in that solo.
One of my favourite versions, sweet, this is so damn good
Cory Henry is an absolute legend! My god this solo is a masterpiece. He inspires me to become a better musician. Thank you for posting!
An incredible song, beautiful simple chord structure, amazing timeless
Please do the continuation of this solo! Spooky bits
Damn I’d cry if I was performing this too
He was definitely thinking about where he was when prince performed the greatest halftime show of all time.
I feel like This solo was crying out loud while trying to explain something ❤
This is the metropole orchestra. Best orchestra in the world.
no
whereever i go... i see this conductor and background singers
Well, get used to it - I hired them for the whole month! It's what your family wanted, and they already paid.
@@GizzyDillespee that's great cause I love em. They've done so many great arrangements and covers
I hear this insanely amazing rendition of a Prince classic, and all I can think of is Prince was a certifiable genius. So miss His Royal Purpleness and his music 🎶
This video captured my entier attention for the full duration. Amazing.
Purple Rain really just has to be one of the only songs out there that touches everyone's heart
That lady clapping on 1 and 3 📸
Literal chills
So happy I was there to see in person
So uplifting
Got me smiling man. Been a while since music gave me chills like this
one of the greatest songs btw
this is the only kind of "Jazz" that I like. Nothing from the ultramodern abstract ones, but the great melody ones.
When the 16th notes are the slow rhythms... 😲
I saw Cory live this week, man was absolutely genius, as always
this sounds like what the meaning of being alive is about
finally my fav piece
Prince would be proud
the stank just kept getting stankier
That got me right in the feels. Absolute legend. ❤
Hey George, thank you for making my days better with your wonderful videos, always a pleasure!
Going full in on that Mario Kart DI.
real life tears right now
Best guitar solo I've ever heard in my life
🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful. Magnificent. !!
1:29 that drumming tho
1:21 1 AND 4 I AM TRIGGERED
You should have done the rest of it after this point when it drops right out and its just interplay mostly with him and the strings. Great exercise in harmony.
I'm not cry you cry
Prince was a genius
1:21 - The video must be lagging or something, because there's no way she's clapping on 1 and 3. That's against the law.
😂 the editing was very specific here
Well.. that's how you should clap in this song🤷🏻♂️
Oh my. This is incredible.
Dude bends like Clapton on that keyboard.
Exactly what I thought, I have never seen someone make a keyboard cry until now.
Tears of happiness because the entire situation is so amazingly overwhelming?
Omg how fun would it be to solo with a whole symphony like this
24 secs in and I have to pause because I can't stop cussing over how wonderful it is
I certainly couldn't be an ashiest after listening to this, there is just something more to humans than matter...
Most beautiful and emotional song about a football team ever.
When they give you three minutes to give them everything you have.
ngl, I haven't teared up worse since the Hebron 2021 balad.
When he tears up I just want to give Cory a hug.
That was incredible 💯
Wow! So uplifting.
I knew exactly what video this was from the pure soul Cory had in his face. If you haven’t checked the full version; YOU GOTTA
George, U Legend.
If you ain't cryin', you must be dyin'
I want mr. Henry in my living room 24/7
damn made me cry
Straight guy here, but gotta say, he's one of the most nautrally beautiful men I've ever seen
Please, I transcribed what follows with the chords !!! It's pure magic 🙏🙏🙏
No. NO! It was the purple light, I swear. That's all.
It got me. That's it. Just the light. I SWEAR!
he has that wholesome face omg.
1:07, 1:17 - TIL I'm a qualified conductor lol
Doing a solo with the Metropole Orkest... zoinks, I wouldn't keep my decorum either.
Gracias por esto, esta interpretación es histórica!!!!!!!! Pero falta la mejor parte, que es lo que sigue al solo!! El clima que generan es pura magia!
My viewing experience was interrupted by the lady in the audience clapping on one and three 😂😭
