Both David Bowie and Mick Jagger were at this show along with Andy Warhol and the band members from KISS. Prince was getting all the legends at the time to notice him.
My very first concert was Prince and Rick James ill-fated Punk and Funk tour not long after this video was made. Rick James was the bigger star at the time but Prince stole the show. I can still remember Prince coming out on stage in knee-high stockings, high heels and a trench coat, and gyrating on the floor to “Let’s Work”. What a genius he was. No wonder Rick James hated him.
@aprodutube nah, Rick’s beef was Prince wouldn’t give his mom an autograph at a time when she was a huge fan. however, there was always that “competitive competition” amongst artists that was natural.
@@jimy0803 It was a little bit more than “competitive competition”. By Rick's own admission he once grabbed Prince by the neck and tried to pour whiskey down his throat knowing that Prince was a non-drinker. And, according to Tina Marie, Rick stole one of Prince's expensive synthesizer's on tour that Prince had programmed. I like Rick but he crossed the line with his hatred of Prince. Prince was so much more talented than Rick and Rick had a hard time accepting that.
@@aprodutube they were competitors who were constantly trying to one-up the other. the cognac incident allegedly took place at a party Rick invited Prince to. Rick felt Prince stole elements of his stage show from him, as well as the idea of the girl group. Rick’s response to Vanity 6, was that he (Rick) put out a girl group who could actually “sing”. it was always competition amongst artists. how do u think they got to where they are?
The transformation Prince would go through in just 1-2 short years after this, is insane! It’s literally like 2 completely different people between this and what he became in 1982-84
He was always changing and morphing up. That's why he stayed relevant to the masses. What do you mean by morphing? Morphing is an effect which sees one shape or object transform into another in a seamless transition.
First show March 1981 Denver rainbow music hall Second show March1983 Norman for the 1999 tour. The transformation was unbelievable... the sexuality even ramped up.
See that was a virtuoso performance on guitar . When people rank the GOATS , they should note that Prince not only commanded the Rock Style on guitar but he played the rhthm guitar like no other . That alone should easily put him in the top ten on the all time list .
It was reported that Prince played up to 27 instruments. These instruments can be heard on his debut album For You. The long list includes mostly guitar style instruments, keyboards, synthesizers, and percussion instruments. (Had to Google it). 🤣
Sorry, while he’s great, there have been so many guitarists out of the millions and millions of players since WWII - especially when you include all styles, eg jazz, country, etc - he is not top 10. He’d be top 10 among composers, definitely among multi-instrumentalists.
Huge Prince fan! Thank you for posting this video for all to enjoy. RIP Prince missing your music every day. ICON in taking back control of your masters. RIP.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Prince have 5 and a half Octave Voice, Plus he is a Musician and composer. Just him can do this ...and did so much more. Anyone else dead or alive ,could.
Not that difficult for a well trained singer, well must be depending of the profile but I find it easier then many other technics. Prince gets better at it live later in his life.
Reminds me of Prince in Duval!!! Saw him 3 times in Duval,#8.50$ 2,1050$,3,1950$, Jacksonville Colosseum, each time!!! When he had that brass water bed rising from the floor, pandemonium.Prince got me a lot of pu--- that night!! 19.50$rest of that weekend too!!!
I was there for that time of Prince concert series in Duval, Prince was a lit cigarette, Dangerous, the true rude boy.may God bless your journey, much love from Jacksonville Florida ❤
Gracias por compartir. Qué gran genio hemos perdido. Un gran provocador, hay que ser muy valiente para presentarse con esa ropa siendo un artista nobel. Sólo un genio puede hacerlo.
FUN FACT: The reason why Prince's hair is choppy instead of his previous long luscious curls is due to a bad relaxer. His hair literally snapped off. He got this style to cover up the broken hair.
This song reminds me of my beautiful late elder sister Mary miyoba l miss you Bana chisenga l thank God almighty for the promise of second resurrection when we shall see all our departed loved ones coz the God we serve is a God of faith who never lies what ever he says comes to pass watching from zambia 🇿🇲
I was cutting school on the #4 train ,1982 , bored I had nothing better to do so I started reading the graffiti tagged on the train wall done scribbled “ Michael is coming , but Prince is here!” I didn’t understand it until a few months later when purple rain came out. Then I totally understood it!!!!! Completely genius

Was this in NYC?
@@jeshkam yes
Thank God we can go back in time!!!
And then in 1984 he proved to the world who he was. He became bigger than all of those guys 😅
This show is why Jagger asked him to open for the Stones. Kiss were also present according to Bobby Z
The Dr. Fink keyboard solo was NASTY AF !!
Prince surrounded himself with great talent, the Revolution is a tight band.

HE TOOK HIS GIRLFREIND....VANITY... It was payback for Rick steeling his instruments..😆.. That's how Rick got his new sound .

I see Purple Rain in him at this stage
that's been said by many people, his work ethic could create miracles, it seems in other people too.

@@carolynforge8586 one of my favorite things about Prince.
Every year, I looked forward to seeing his new look with each album.
First show March 1981 Denver rainbow music hall
Second show March1983 Norman for the 1999 tour.
The transformation was unbelievable...
the sexuality even ramped up.

I’m so impressed with the band here. They replicated Prince’s one man band unique groove to tee. Absolutely amazing 🙏🏾☺️
Yeah... Prince & his bands worked hard, perfectionists..!🕊
Yes! Keyboard player in Dr scrubs Killing it!
The confidence to wear a speedo onstage and the raw talent to rip the stage up.
You are loved and missed.
Yep!! Can wear that get up and STILL steal your girl !!
I love me some Prince but he should have left the speedo at home 😊
@@pinkyharris801 nah, he nailed it.

Prince was wearing that stuff before the Beyonces and Mariahs. He had a different mindset.
Prince had a “Dirty Mind.” 💜💜💜
Dancing in your underwater is sooo 80s
@@tabithathewitch2001 so true....,I was a bit of a hetero-freak myself way back when....,
I don't know what was going on with him. All I can say is he was talented...
I’ve always loved how they choreographed while playing. Meticulous
It's difficult to sing falsetto live with a good resonance.
Prince have 5 and a half Octave Voice, Plus he is a Musician and composer. Just him can do this ...and did so much more. Anyone else dead or alive ,could.
He does it well
Cierto, hay que ser un genio para triunfar cómo él lo hizo.
Not that difficult for a well trained singer, well must be depending of the profile but I find it easier then many other technics. Prince gets better at it live later in his life.
I was at this Show.. Wicked, I was in the VIP area with KISS' Manager Bill Aucoin RIP
what an honor. Did you get to meet Prince?
This was an iconic performance
Were KISS members there too?
@@jeshkam I read someone saying that Mick Jagger, Bowie and all members of KISS were there
Never ever will there be another..
Andre is killing that bass!!!
hell yeah
Ain't he tho❤
Everybody is ...but I agree about the bass.
Young Prince❤The badest to ever do it!!💜☔️🎸🎶🕊️
Not as bad as your spelling
Not as bad as Michael Jackson, but he’s great too❤

Rest in peace my brother. I miss you
I'm a metal guy and as a kid the 1999 album had me dialed into his guitar sound
Prince at his best: 1978-1982.
I don't think he hit his creative and performance peak until the mid to late 80s.
Agreed
Yeah... Mid to late 80's is hard to beat
his penultimate live was SB show. His music, was great through 90s. nodoubt.
certainly
the alpha & omega of influencers till dis day.. look around are there any performers putting in da work deez daze.. nope.. wack times today.. ;-(

He should have did on the midnight special he would have been a overnight sensation
LUV ya Prince you made the it I so much respect for ya your a musical genius and made it on his own gotta LUV that Prince 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m amazed he was never arrested
what could have been if Prince and Freddie shared a stage together
Prince wouldn't have shared a stage with Freddie. 🤷♂️
@@STLHouseLegendif Prince wanted to it would have happend 😂
I don't think that would work. The Miles Davis collaboration didn't work either.
@@STLHouseLegendfacts.. lol prince shared the stage with no one lol
Sounds great, except they may have mixed the keyboards a little bit too high
If Little Richard, Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, and James Brown were mixed in a bottle, Prince would come out. I c all those guys in him.
If they had a baby conceived they would have Prince !! Without A Doubt !
The band is so tight, 9:02 came out of nowhere and it was still clean and dirty
Beverly Knight has done him proud with her mixed version. May God continue to bless his soul 🙏
Prince was /is to music what Bruce Lee was to martial arts and richard Pryor is to comedy. The mofo GOAT!!🐐 💯👍🐐🐐💯🐐💯💯💯💯
If only he lived a little bit longer I would've loved to go to one of his concerts 🎶💜
Saw him in '85
In 90 nude tour Cork ireland😊
