Prince could play guitar like a boss, play keyboards, play drums, dance like James Brown, and had an amazing vocal range. Not to mention his stage presence. Genius.
Prince turned the lead guitar into the lead vocal. Just goes to show that being the best guitarist the world has ever seen isn’t about how fast you can shred or pick. It’s about making the guitar sing and wail with emotion so beautifully that one can’t help but be moved by it. This is a masterpiece performance by the master himself. R.I.P Prince
Hello ! Thank you foryor kind but objective words. All guitarplayers of a certain level know what you have written. I guess that you what guys like Bill Gibbons, Steve Vai, Randy Hansen, Eric Clapton Gary Clark Jr., Nile Rodgers and Frank Zappa (.) said about PRINCE. Do you know what Lemmy (.) said ? The Purple Love Assistant
Just difficult to put him in that category because he was freaking amazing at everything that his name rarely pops up in those conversations even though it should be.
I'm a 54 year old from India..and while I've heard quite a lot of Western music in my lifetime, I hadn't really heard Prince before until this popped up in my FB feed today... and this is the third time today that I'm playing this...even though it's way past midnight..this i s'pose says it all.
Hey everybody- you see that audience? Old, young, white, black, heavy, thin- all together, all having fun. We need more of that . Thank you Prince for your gift.
God, how I miss this man. I’m 75 years old and when I hear this I have to get up and move. Keeps me young. The man was a musical genius. He is definitely missed. Peace
I’m 63, got to see the Stones, Led Zeppelin, kinks, lynyrd skynyrd, ac/dc, allman bros., dead, fleetwood, richard thompson, and more of the great guitar bands. NOBODY played with more heart and soul than our good buddy Prince…
Ein Witz??????? Wenn nicht, hast du keine Ahnung!!! Jeder der besten Musiker auf dem Planeten wird dir den Namen PRINCE nennen - auf die Frage nach den ALLERGRÖSSTEN!!!!!!
A Prince concert wasn't about the merch, it was about the music. You went to have fun, not to buy stuff. It's like going to the Grand Canyon. You just look and you are amazed. That's more than enough.
@@victoriavinson8401 chaque fois que prince passe à côté de chez moi vers Paris j'allais le voir en concert j'ai vu 5 fois et danser avec lui dans la salle
But he wasn't ready - when he hits the snare drum at the beginning of the song, the snare is OFF, so he has to put it on, but it sounds like a tom on the first couple of hits. AND he was on camera. Had to be embarrassing
@@skenley1 He didn't leave that snare strainer off. Maybe a drum tech or roadie turned it off between encores? He laid down the tempo and killed the groove. Total pro. It's not how you start (and, not his fault) it's how you finish. #respect
I was invited to my first Prince concert in 1997. I had never listened to his music at all. I entered the Pyramid in Memphis not being a fan, left that night after the show and I was completely changed. I would go on to see him 7 times in person and I wish so bad I could see him again. For those who never witnessed him live, you missed out on the absolute greatest live performer to ever do it. His musical IQ is far beyond what anyone else could ever imagine. I miss him terribly.
Saw him in the beginning before purple rain when he had that long coat and knee high socks and butt cheeks out under the coat when he spin early 79 or 80. Talk about rocking Charleston. Never seen nothing like it. And that was before purple rain. I think Andre Simone was in the band at the time
@@cbrb6594 wow that makes me jealous.. my first experience was the Lovesexy concert in Dortmund broadcasted on the Dutch radio. I recorded it and play it over and over again. Very lucky to see him multible times in Holland. What a amazing artits... his musicology, his guitar performances.. but also his stage. I remember the Thunder opening song in Maastricht that blew my mind.. all the gold falling from the sky. But also his performans in Rotterdam with Larry Graham (and without noticing Lenny Kravitz!!!!) on stage.. they jammed the hell out of the place for 2 hours without playing one of his songs... that was amazing.
Prince did 3 covers and didn’t disrespect the originals, he only enhanced them by playing the Hell out of them! Mad respect to Prince for covering Wild Cherry, Kool and the Gang and Lakeside! Total respect!
You are joking. He played Wild Cherry and didn’t even sing one verse of the song. It was just the chorus over and over and repetitive glorified guitar solo in Am that any decent guitarist could do. It was a total disrespect to the original.
If love is my mind he comes up with so many lyrics for so many different songs one of them being super bad I tend to remember that song but I don't know who the artist is much less alone price for ahead of his time. I will never forget his performance at the Super Bowl. It is so sad that we've lost such amazing artist is our time. We're supposed to be true that cherish his music 🕺
@@toriawelsh7274 I miss him in the sense that I have been listening to him since 1978 and I am not going to most likely get anymore gems like “1999” Purple Rain” or “Sign O’the Times.” This video has everything that made Prince great and I miss the anticipation (almost 40 years) of getting new music from him….
If you want to hear Prince’s guitar work….there are SO MANY!!! He does a great solo in the song “Shhhh” and also listen to him playing at Coachella where he did a cover of “Creep” and it’s excellent. Other songs with great guitar solos are: “Bambi”, “Joy in Repetition”, “Computer Blue” and “Lady Cab Driver”. Listen to all of them
Prince understood Music. He was well read, and studied and practiced daily. You don’t just happen to get this good, he had the drive and daily discipline, and he expected the same from all his band. He was always constantly learning. His time has now gone. You wont see it again.
Prince was just the Master....nobody compares., never will. 60 years of Rock n roll....distilled into this, the world and our music is on the slide. Rest easy my Prince...
First time I've seen this video and I'm on my ass as a fan of metal and rock... it's fabulous... this guy is a genius... how could I have missed this this music...I can't get over it because I find what I have just seen and heard so extraordinary
Dude, I grew up on Prince being a Minneapolis native! But I, too, enjoy metal and rock! Metallica, Van Halen, Journey, Godsmack, Avenged sevenfold, AC/DC, etc, but I also love R&B, Funk, classical, classic rock etc. Point being there is so many genres and Prince could play them all, he did a Zeppelin cover one show in Vegas around 2004, 2005 time period that is epic! Look it up here on TH-cam. Prince had outta this world talent and ability. I'm glad you finally got to witness his greatness.
Me too. Brought up on Jimi, swear Prince as talented and at the top of his game here. Gonna look up the Zeppelin cover, Whole Lotta Luv. Alex in Norway.
I'll tell you what upsets me: someone gave him a pressed fake Vic with fetty in it, no one back then knew this was occurring, they say Elvis was the king, Prince had more talent in his pinky finger than Elvis.
As a fan of metal/rock you may enjoy this performance as well. Although a long-time Prince fan, I was left speechless after hearing it for the first time! th-cam.com/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fdhcOggZRk5u_bdw
I come in to work, playing anything by Prince and I start my funky bop down the hallways. I am 63 and will always be a fan. May he rest in power. ❤️😂🤟🏽
I love that!! I’m 55 & listen to our dear guy, Prince during my work day, as often as possible. I don’t sing out loud, but I sure do boogie in my chair. It’s the best way to get through any day! 💜💜💜
Whenever Prince preens, it brings a smile to my face. Prince was the most beautiful talented human being ever!! He was on my bucket list to see live but unfortunately it never happened. But watching all these videos of him work for me
I think one of the things I love most about this clip is that the drummer's snares were flipped off at the beginning of the song & he had to flip 'em on real quick...it makes me feel good to know that we have ALL done this!!! And he handled it like the pro that he is!
Prince had the uncanny ability to dance & sing with his physical body, and every bit as much, make his guitar dance and sing like a partner at the same time. And he made it all look so natural and effortless. The world was a better place with him in it.
@Jay Sharp thanks for the TMI. I've been clean 2 yrs now & just felt like I was reading my thoughts. There is something extra attached to some in this crazy life. I think it's pretty close & almost touchable but not all have IT....whatever IT is to slip back & forth from normal boring life & that powerful force. Prince was the ultimate musician & a true legendary star. There are just so many gone too soon & it does make this world a sadder, more boring place without him here. I'm so glad we have the internet now & can still watch & have those goosebumps!!!
@Jay Sharp P planned to exit the party in 2016 & 4/21. 2016 was the year of demoralisation (Trump, Brexit, Right Wing division in the West) towards the 'new normal' normalisation period (2020-2030) on the 4 stages of ideological subversion to the 4th Industrial Age. P was fighting this time we're living in harder than ANYONE! Dozens of songs dedicated to this time. DOZENS. I will die 4 U (21st Letter) - Always snow April written (where he wrote about his death) 4/21. 2020+ = Digital Garden (2001), My Computer, Sl@ve, New World, Art Official Cage, Clouds, Deconstruction, Revelation, Silicon, Radical Man : 2045 & many more songs. Decades ahead of the curve by 5-10-20 years P was the ultimate builder / planner
@Jay Sharp 8 years clean from crack. I am lucky l didn't overdose. God had better plans fo me. To live my best life. I am sober and blessed. Thank you so much for this opportunity to share a portion of my story.
When Prince was in high school, he seldom attended class...he just hung out in the band room all day. The teachers realized how gifted a musician he was and just let him alone. - Bassist Andre Cymone
I had teachers like this in school, they could see that all I wanted in life was to play music… and so they literally let me sit and noodle at the back of the classroom during class… it’s my opinion that educators should help you find your calling - not force a pre prescribed one size fits all educational experience onto everybody - I mean, christ, look how good of a musician it allowed Prince to become ☺️. Really wish I could’ve seen him live, I often watch these clips and I’m absolutely floored by the whole thing!
Agree… I had an art teacher who fostered my skills and let me do whatever I wanted in class because my skill was above and beyond the class. Of course I had to produce, but it was completely up to me with zero curriculum. He also taught me a lot about what I thought art was and he helped me get into a college level summer course at a reputable art school. He’s one of the few who’s name and face I clearly remember.
I miss Prince!! He is an amazing artist! There is nobody who comes close! I am so glad to have lived through the Purple Rain era as a teenager and how he evolved into a legendary Artist! R.I.P.💜
Such a treasure! I’m so blessed to have been able to see Prince live! I wish everyone would have been able to hear/see him live. Absolutely amazing and simply the best! 💜💜💜💜💜
The thing about a Prince performance was he never went through the motions, he always played songs he liked and every fiber in his being was on tap. Something as simple as bending notes on his guitar required his whole body to do it, he would contort and make strange faces, but those notes would bend and that guitar would sing. Even in the song itself, he didn't do a Prince cover of Wild Cherry, he paid homage to Wild Cherry, it wasn't about him, it was about sending the audience home with something they'll never forget.
He FELT the music, mind, body and soul...notice also the extreme caliber of musicians he surrounded himself with...truly the "cream" rising to the top!👍👍👍
@@illiadmcswain3956 Hehe yeah, I call them the New Power Boots. If you watch the whole show you can see him bring the power higher the moment he changes into them, they're magical funky boots 💜
there are lots of excellent musicians and artists , that work very hard to be at the top of the game. But every once in awhile one comes along that just has a god given talent and was destined to be a star from the day he/she was born, regardless where or when he/she was born. Prince is one of them. It may be a long time before such a talent will be seen again on this earth. Sometimes we take them for granted until they are gone.
You know he spent 10 hours a day rehearsing with his band. They would go home and he would continue to play and record. Sometimes he was still playing when his band came back the next day.
I met Prince when I was 12...I was at a bookstore in Culver City buying some books for school and my mom went to the register to pay. The cashier said she had already started ringing up another customer. Then out of nowhere Prince apologized and asked the cashier to add our books to his order. My reaction was "oh my God you're Prince" and he was asking me about Grapes of Wrath like it was no big deal
Bryan - I have no words that are even remotely adequate enough to describe how phenomenal Price was. I wish I could have seen him in concert - or just somewhere standing there looking pretty - HOW AWESOME your story is!
🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊Thank you for this. These are the stories that get watered down or ignored in favor of stories that may or may not be true. No one is perfect, except apparently the “ people “ selling their stories to tabloid, magazines and “ tell all books “. It’s so obvious now why Prince preferred spending time talking to people he never met before. I think you probably made his day.🖤🍇💜📖💜🍇🖤
Undeniably the baddest most iconic genius to ever walk this earth !!! Those of us who connected with Prince and his genius immediately can feel the loss of his presence in this life !!!!
When i first heard of Prince back in the late 70's early 80's I was not impressed but i became more intrigued as with the man and his talent I learned to respect what he brought to the table. An unprecedented amount of musical talent flowed this mans veins ,a prolific song writer, a highly respected producer/ engineer not only could he play any instrument he touched , he mastered all of them and the quintessential showman who never rested on his loreals, he evolved with age and always gave 100 percent of himself to his audience' in his later years he proved that you don't need lots of lights and gimmicks to impress his fans he let the music speak for its self and he always surrounded himself with equally good talent, cast inpoint John Blackwell an outstanding drummer in his own right is just one of the many talented people who had the pleasure of playing with him. im damn near 70 years of age now and i still enjoy hearing his jams some of which went on for well over 20 minutes. Todays youth truly haven't a clue what real music is suppose to sound like and will never have talent like my generation had real musicianship and staying power. gone but never will he be forgotten. RIP brother
Prince is possibly the most natural and comfortable looking guitarist you could ever see. This clip is fantastic at showing just how natural he is with it. Then of course you add all his other musical talents and you can look back on him and think he wasn't human. Amazing musician!
yes and it looks all so easy. When I hear the music, it is as if I could go out (I play no instrument, LOL) and do the same. But I definitely can not, nobody can!
Like I always say when discussing Prince, even if he lost his voice before becoming famous, he would've become Prince nonetheless... by playing the guitar. Or the keys Or even the bass.
Deep purple , Zepplin, Nazareth, Black Sabbath, Mothers Finest. Just a sampling about me.. 8 track days.. 33..45 vinyl. I went to a Prince show with my then girl friend ( now wife of many years) I reluctantly went. I walked out of that arena blown away completely by this guy. An absolute bad ass musician.. guitar player . Dancer. Electrified Entertainer..band leader..miss ya man....
I’m so thankful I was able to live during the Prince era. The Beethoven of funk, the Mozart of our time. No one came close; a musician of musicians. Master class performer, an F5 tornado of music. Thank you for posting.
Verdientes viele hindert tausend likes für diesen Kommentar!!!! So wahr! Gibt aber Leute die ihn nicht als Genialen Musiker sehen! Da kann ich nur den Kopf schütteln! Unbegreiflich!!!
This is quite simply a true and real genius at work. Effortless, elegant, powerful and supremely talented. Five years on - what a terrible loss. Miss your brilliance, Prince.
I worked the Purple rain Tour as a tech. You would be surprised at how many of the tour staff reunited when Prince died. Prince's office manager is one of my dearest friends.
Prince was a born talent! He mastered multiple instruments while still a child. His guitar skills evolved to the level that all the great guitarists praised him. And when he played he made it look so easy, like it was a joke to him. HELLA RESPECT to this man! Definitely the #1 guitarist of all time!
Still got on that leopard guitar strap since day one and a Rude Boy button pin on Love this Music of the Times 💓💓💓 Love you Bro Prince 💋 never without you being there for me in my life 💕💕💕🍭🍭🍭
This is a beautiful treat!! Dear Prince, I love and miss you so much!! Thanks for making me smile through the pain tonight! Purple Rain 4eva!! 💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹💋❤️💜💜💜
He’s not a very technical player, but he rocked the shit out of his style. A true showman! I’m not a huge fan of his, but his contributions to the music industry will never be forgotten
I have watched so many of his live performances. Watch his face. He is feeling everything. His mouth twitches...he is in full blown rocker mode. I wish I could have seen him in concert. A great loss to the music community. Still love him. Stil listen.
13 minutes of outstanding genius! Utterly brilliant! Any kids out there who say “Prince, who?” Educate them with this! This is real music played by an exceptionally talented and cool guy. So sadly missed. RIP Prince, hope you’re rocking and funking up there xx
Just for those who may have missed it - The genius of Prince is fully demonstrated at the 4:54 mark. The transition from Play That Funky Music to Hollywood Swinging happens WITHOUT notice. It is Prince's attention to detail and command of every aspect of the band that makes the transition so smooth and flawless. God Do I Miss Him! I too hope the Prince Estate continues to treat the WORLD with more of the hidden treasures that we all know still remain unreleased.
This is for all those who have only witnessed the genius of Prince on that Guitar gently Weeps tribute. Most fans of his work would find it hard to make a top 10 (or even 20) of his best guitar moments...waaaay too many!!! Keep these gems coming!!!
Eric probably would have mentioned Mark from Dire Straits. I recommend listening to - Diar straits Alchemy “Sultans of swing”. It’s 10 min long. Best guitar playing in my opinion
Man I just had to get back in the comments and saying one more thing This guy is phenomenal. Larger than life One of the greatest to ever done it I am honored to have lived in his error to enjoy his music . he's talent and the way he entertained his fans have to watch this Awesome performance one more time 🎸🎸🎸 R.I.P LOVE YA
The look on the faces of the audience they are absolutely in awe of the guy. I found this clip a few weeks ago and I play it almost everyday just gives me a great lift and makes me feel real good .
yes it's true, but sorry, I was just slumped on my bed and I was literally blown away by this song... impossible for me to get up. But next time I promise : )
Amen, but this venue, wherever it was, the audience apparently didn't get what they were seeing or hearing. They were very blah, and they are seeing the man live, the likes if we will NEVER SEE AGAIN.
Einer der besten aller Zeiten, so vielfältig, wahnsinn was der alles gezaubert hat! Schade dass man ihn nicht mehr live erleben kann! Ich beneide die im Himmel!😂😂😂
Bin noch immer im fallen und genieße es! Einem der geilsten und grössten aller Zeiten zuhören zu können, ist es Wert, viel Zeit mit seiner genialen Musik zu verbringen!😂
May 1st 2004 I had to be dragged to Prince’s Musicology Tour concert by my wife. And that night I became a Prince fan! That man could put on a show! But what was most striking to me was a crowd of 15,000 just having a good time no matter who was standing next to them! Prince not only could entertain, he could make an audience be as one. Not many in the industry have had that talent!
WOW unbelievable how the hell did i miss this 20 yrs ago? The original band,the orchestra,bk up singers , especially Ryan Molloy WOW KICKED this concert nothing short of EPIC, OUTSTANDING, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Trevor Horn heres to you sir ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! To you Ryan Molly you filled those shoes & worn them out like NO ONE ELSE could CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO MAD THIS ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES I HAVE EVER WITNESSED, Y'all took me bk to a GREAT TIME in my life & made time stand still for me & I will never tire of listening or watching this for the rest of my life loving music making life & people come together to enjoy SHEAR ENJOYMENT & LOVE for one another ,GOD BLESS !!!
Prince never got enough props for his awesome voice. 🖤💜🖤 Now all the music magazines like to pretend they loved Prince all along, but they rarely ever gave him the respect he deserved. He had it all: style, groove, the funk, the voice, the skills on 27 plus instruments. True fans know. We know. We love U, Prince!
Jesus Christ - this is fantastic!! Have you ever seen an audience having so much fun??!! I was jumping up and down in my hotel room alone listening to this masterpiece.
SOOOOO VERY RIGHT. Stevie's guitar TALKED to me. Prince & his guitar moved me (before arthritis). But I STILL love their 😢 SOUND. Back in the day when WE HAD "REAL" music!

Prince should always be mentioned when the subject of greatest guitar players ever comes up.
Just difficult to put him in that category because he was freaking amazing at everything that his name rarely pops up in those conversations even though it should be.

Indeed he should!

You have a lot of catching up to do. In the last 2 months, I'm hoping you've found a lot more Prince music on TH-cam.

Prince has tested positive for the funk!!!

He caught the funk from others and then he spread his own Alpha variant. Don't want a vaccine against that variant.

am a bassist. was browsing youtube trying to find the funkiest bass line i could. The moment Prince picked up a bass, my search was over.
Also try Larry Graham, Stanley Clark,Parliaments
Amazing!!!
Bootsy Collins
Sonny Thompson
What kind of bass was that? It looked like a normal bass that had the last 5 or 6 frets removed, it sounded mean!!!
Prince could go 10 years without a hit record and his shows would still be the hottest ticket in town.
I know right? He was amazing. Someone asked Eric Clapton what it felt like to be the greatest guitar player and he said " I dunno - go ask Prince"
So 👍

That is possibly the best bass drum sound I've ever heard!
Pure brilliance at a level that surpasses everybody. Never heard anyone as musically gifted as the genius that is Prince.
The Earth is four BILLION years old and YOU got to live at the same time as Prince and David Bowie.
No, i'm right there, without Prince, pitty, i miss him !
The Love Symbol. what a great "Funky" Boy
And David,Freddie, was simply splendid.
Say thatva lil louder please
And I got to witness the music of the 70s and 80s.. lucky me.
That's actually significant in my world heh. Prince on bass..
I was invited to my first Prince concert in 1997. I had never listened to his music at all. I entered the Pyramid in Memphis not being a fan, left that night after the show and I was completely changed. I would go on to see him 7 times in person and I wish so bad I could see him again. For those who never witnessed him live, you missed out on the absolute greatest live performer to ever do it. His musical IQ is far beyond what anyone else could ever imagine. I miss him terribly.
Ikr am completely devastated beyond words by his death..have still not recovered am still heartbroken...😿
Musical IQ. I like that. And you are correct. The man was a force of nature. I was devastated by his death.
Saw him in the beginning before purple rain when he had that long coat and knee high socks and butt cheeks out under the coat when he spin early 79 or 80. Talk about rocking Charleston. Never seen nothing like it.
And that was before purple rain.
I think Andre Simone was in the band at the time
I was at that show as well. Amazing show.
@@cbrb6594 wow that makes me jealous.. my first experience was the Lovesexy concert in Dortmund broadcasted on the Dutch radio. I recorded it and play it over and over again. Very lucky to see him multible times in Holland. What a amazing artits... his musicology, his guitar performances.. but also his stage. I remember the Thunder opening song in Maastricht that blew my mind.. all the gold falling from the sky. But also his performans in Rotterdam with Larry Graham (and without noticing Lenny Kravitz!!!!) on stage.. they jammed the hell out of the place for 2 hours without playing one of his songs... that was amazing.
Prince did 3 covers and didn’t disrespect the originals, he only enhanced them by playing the Hell out of them! Mad respect to Prince for covering Wild Cherry, Kool and the Gang and Lakeside! Total respect!
And Stevie wonder…
You are joking. He played Wild Cherry and didn’t even sing one verse of the song. It was just the chorus over and over and repetitive glorified guitar solo in Am that any decent guitarist could do. It was a total disrespect to the original.
@@liamnaughton7996 ok man! We’re all entitled to our opinions! Have a blessed day!
Didn’t he play an average white band song too?
In the beginning
And just the intro
If love is my mind he comes up with so many lyrics for so many different songs one of them being super bad I tend to remember that song but I don't know who the artist is much less alone price for ahead of his time. I will never forget his performance at the Super Bowl. It is so sad that we've lost such amazing artist is our time. We're supposed to be true that cherish his music

Stuff like this is priceless now. Prince and this band is just KILLIN’ it! Miss him so, so much.
so true xox🔥🔥I miss him so much too.
Totally agree.
Yeah man, bad to the bone 🦴!
Miss him? Did you know him personally? Or do you just mean you miss his music?
@@toriawelsh7274 I miss him in the sense that I have been listening to him since 1978 and I am not going to most likely get anymore gems like “1999” Purple Rain” or “Sign O’the Times.” This video has everything that made Prince great and I miss the anticipation (almost 40 years) of getting new music from him….
Prince spoke about getting his masters back.
Prince is THE MASTER
I'm 60 & always loved Prince's music. After this song, I am sold. ❤ He could play those 🎸 guitars.
If you want to hear Prince’s guitar work….there are SO MANY!!! He does a great solo in the song “Shhhh” and also listen to him playing at Coachella where he did a cover of “Creep” and it’s excellent. Other songs with great guitar solos are: “Bambi”, “Joy in Repetition”, “Computer Blue” and “Lady Cab Driver”. Listen to all of them
Ain't no music like this no more.. REST IN LOVE PRINCE... There's so many kings, byt there's only one PRINCE.. GBU
And that children is how to perform live. Pay attention. School is in session 💜💜💜
And that is what they said about some many artists over time.
Will this be on the test?
TESTIFY!!!
It's not about putting on a concert it's about the experience
@@lonnybrooks9520 you hit it.
Prince understood Music.
He was well read, and studied and practiced daily.
You don’t just happen to get this good, he had the drive and daily discipline, and he expected the same from all his band.
He was always constantly learning.
His time has now gone. You wont see it again.
💕
They said Prince in his teenage years he would be practicing with his band for ten 8 hours day consistantly.
Prince was just the Master....nobody compares., never will.
60 years of Rock n roll....distilled into this, the world and our music is on the slide.
Rest easy my Prince...
First time I've seen this video and I'm on my ass as a fan of metal and rock... it's fabulous... this guy is a genius... how could I have missed this this music...I can't get over it because I find what I have just seen and heard so extraordinary
Dude, I grew up on Prince being a Minneapolis native! But I, too, enjoy metal and rock! Metallica, Van Halen, Journey, Godsmack, Avenged sevenfold, AC/DC, etc, but I also love R&B, Funk, classical, classic rock etc. Point being there is so many genres and Prince could play them all, he did a Zeppelin cover one show in Vegas around 2004, 2005 time period that is epic! Look it up here on TH-cam. Prince had outta this world talent and ability. I'm glad you finally got to witness his greatness.
Me too. Brought up on Jimi, swear Prince as talented and at the top of his game here. Gonna look up the Zeppelin cover, Whole Lotta Luv. Alex in Norway.
Great cover of one of the rare White funk bands (Wild Cherry).
Did plenty of his own good stuff too (like Purple Rain).
I'll tell you what upsets me: someone gave him a pressed fake Vic with fetty in it, no one back then knew this was occurring, they say Elvis was the king, Prince had more talent in his pinky finger than Elvis.
As a fan of metal/rock you may enjoy this performance as well. Although a long-time Prince fan, I was left speechless after hearing it for the first time!
th-cam.com/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fdhcOggZRk5u_bdw
Undoubtedly one of the best guitar player of all time. Soul and funk don't get better than this.
And base !
Prince was killing it at guitar in the beginning…. Gotta admit, never thought he played that good!
the Dude played Piano, Drums, Base and Guitar. Not to mention, singer, songwriter, actor, producer. One of the greatest musicians of his generation.
SO TRUE! GLAD YOU SAID IT!
You forgot dancer, choreographer!
I come in to work, playing anything by Prince and I start my funky bop down the hallways. I am 63 and will always be a fan. May he rest in power. ❤️😂🤟🏽
I love that!! I’m 55 & listen to our dear guy, Prince during my work day, as often as possible. I don’t sing out loud, but I sure do boogie in my chair. It’s the best way to get through any day! 💜💜💜
He is a genius, different, t'he sexiest beautiful voice, a Mozart of t'he 20th century
@@Esther-kq7nv What woman doesnt? Prince appeals to all ages
I am the same age, and prince came to me in his music 78 in San Francisco. ❤
I wanna be your lover ❤️. My first song from Prince 😊
Whenever Prince preens, it brings a smile to my face. Prince was the most beautiful talented human being ever!! He was on my bucket list to see live but unfortunately it never happened. But watching all these videos of him work for me
I love it when he says "Can I Play My Guitar" 💜🎸
and doesn't wait a single second for "an answer"
Me: Play that mf, Prince!!!!!!
Prince was going to play his guitar regardless the man is a beast on guitar
I Always yell Yeahhhh coz no one can play the guitar better or more passionate than Prince 💜👏🙌

Prince is the only guy that can wear high heels, lipstick, a feather boa and still steal your woman from you.
Let me tell ya something. If you could play guitar like that, you could look like the elephant man and score dimes.
@@PaulRobert474 Facts.
Yo, what about Bowie? Bisexual fellas are a thing... and a really hot one xd
yes. what u said. yes.
🤣😂😂
Pure greatness, lucky we had him in our lifetime.
I think one of the things I love most about this clip is that the drummer's snares were flipped off at the beginning of the song & he had to flip 'em on real quick...it makes me feel good to know that we have ALL done this!!! And he handled it like the pro that he is!
Prince had the uncanny ability to dance & sing with his physical body, and every bit as much, make his guitar dance and sing like a partner at the same time. And he made it all look so natural and effortless. The world was a better place with him in it.
@Jay Sharp thanks for the TMI. I've been clean 2 yrs now & just felt like I was reading my thoughts. There is something extra attached to some in this crazy life. I think it's pretty close & almost touchable but not all have IT....whatever IT is to slip back & forth from normal boring life & that powerful force. Prince was the ultimate musician & a true legendary star. There are just so many gone too soon & it does make this world a sadder, more boring place without him here. I'm so glad we have the internet now & can still watch & have those goosebumps!!!
@Jay Sharp P planned to exit the party in 2016 & 4/21. 2016 was the year of demoralisation (Trump, Brexit, Right Wing division in the West) towards the 'new normal' normalisation period (2020-2030) on the 4 stages of ideological subversion to the 4th Industrial Age.
P was fighting this time we're living in harder than ANYONE! Dozens of songs dedicated to this time. DOZENS.

2020+ = Digital Garden (2001), My Computer, Sl@ve, New World, Art Official Cage, Clouds, Deconstruction, Revelation, Silicon, Radical Man : 2045 & many more songs.

Ok, I get it. I see why everyone loved Prince so much.
Holy smokes - he never puts a foot wrong or plays a duff note. Zen master at play! What a LEGEND.💜💜💜
Beloved Master Prince
One word: TIGHT!
Right on ✌️
@@skinnyfiuk a
even his straight up improve stuff is tight. he may riff off in some weird direction that at first sounds wrong, but he makes it work.
Now kids… this right here is called a jam session. Pure. Performance. Prince.
When Prince was in high school, he seldom attended class...he just hung out in the band room all day. The teachers realized how gifted a musician he was and just let him alone. - Bassist Andre Cymone
We desperately need more teachers like that!
I had teachers like this in school, they could see that all I wanted in life was to play music… and so they literally let me sit and noodle at the back of the classroom during class… it’s my opinion that educators should help you find your calling - not force a pre prescribed one size fits all educational experience onto everybody - I mean, christ, look how good of a musician it allowed Prince to become ☺️.
Really wish I could’ve seen him live, I often watch these clips and I’m absolutely floored by the whole thing!
Agree… I had an art teacher who fostered my skills and let me do whatever I wanted in class because my skill was above and beyond the class. Of course I had to produce, but it was completely up to me with zero curriculum. He also taught me a lot about what I thought art was and he helped me get into a college level summer course at a reputable art school. He’s one of the few who’s name and face I clearly remember.
@@BrettSmithDaniels I agree , .. I never saw Michael Jackson either 😭😭
He might have gone to the gym to shoot some hoops occasionally.
One of the best. I am 67 years old and continue to jam to his guitar. An icon
😅😅😅😅
I miss Prince!! He is an amazing artist! There is nobody who comes close! I am so glad to have lived through the Purple Rain era as a teenager and how he evolved into a legendary Artist! R.I.P.💜
💪👍👍👍👍👍💪
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Such a treasure! I’m so blessed to have been able to see Prince live!
I wish everyone would have been able to hear/see him live. Absolutely amazing and simply the best! 💜💜💜💜💜
The thing about a Prince performance was he never went through the motions, he always played songs he liked and every fiber in his being was on tap. Something as simple as bending notes on his guitar required his whole body to do it, he would contort and make strange faces, but those notes would bend and that guitar would sing. Even in the song itself, he didn't do a Prince cover of Wild Cherry, he paid homage to Wild Cherry, it wasn't about him, it was about sending the audience home with something they'll never forget.
Very well put! 💜
He FELT the music, mind, body and soul...notice also the extreme caliber of musicians he surrounded himself with...truly the "cream" rising to the top!👍👍👍
Dem boots though!...😆😆😆
That's a nice compliment
@@illiadmcswain3956 Hehe yeah, I call them the New Power Boots. If you watch the whole show you can see him bring the power higher the moment he changes into them, they're magical funky boots 💜
there are lots of excellent musicians and artists , that work very hard to be at the top of the game. But every once in awhile one comes along that just has a god given talent and was destined to be a star from the day he/she was born, regardless where or when he/she was born. Prince is one of them. It may be a long time before such a talent will be seen again on this earth. Sometimes we take them for granted until they are gone.
You know he spent 10 hours a day rehearsing with his band. They would go home and he would continue to play and record. Sometimes he was still playing when his band came back the next day.
Thank you 😪
You are so right brother, some folks just put in the extra effort to be the best they can be
Yes. It's not everyday that a Prince comes along. He is missed.
One of the best everrrr!!!
I met Prince when I was 12...I was at a bookstore in Culver City buying some books for school and my mom went to the register to pay. The cashier said she had already started ringing up another customer. Then out of nowhere Prince apologized and asked the cashier to add our books to his order. My reaction was "oh my God you're Prince" and he was asking me about Grapes of Wrath like it was no big deal
Woah!
Bryan - I have no words that are even remotely adequate enough to describe how phenomenal Price was. I wish I could have seen him in concert - or just somewhere standing there looking pretty - HOW AWESOME your story is!
🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊Thank you for this. These are the stories that get watered down or ignored in favor of stories that may or may not be true. No one is perfect, except apparently the “ people “ selling their stories to tabloid, magazines and “ tell all books “.
It’s so obvious now why Prince preferred spending time talking to people he never met before. I think you probably made his day.🖤🍇💜📖💜🍇🖤
Epic
Yes he's one of the great players who left to early in life
2024 anyone?
Me me me
☝️
Yes
2028 here 🤙
I'm here in 2024
Undeniably the baddest most iconic genius to ever walk this earth !!! Those of us who connected with Prince and his genius immediately can feel the loss of his presence in this life !!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Prince looks healthy, happy, and just having a fun time. I love everything about this.
Prince was like a force of nature. Music just seemed to pour out of him, like breathing.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
When i first heard of Prince back in the late 70's early 80's I was not impressed but i became more intrigued as with the man and his talent I learned to respect what he brought to the table. An unprecedented amount of musical talent flowed this mans veins ,a prolific song writer, a highly respected producer/ engineer not only could he play any instrument he touched , he mastered all of them and the quintessential showman who never rested on his loreals, he evolved with age and always gave 100 percent of himself to his audience' in his later years he proved that you don't need lots of lights and gimmicks to impress his fans he let the music speak for its self and he always surrounded himself with equally good talent, cast inpoint John Blackwell an outstanding drummer in his own right is just one of the many talented people who had the pleasure of playing with him. im damn near 70 years of age now and i still enjoy hearing his jams some of which went on for well over 20 minutes. Todays youth truly haven't a clue what real music is suppose to sound like and will never have talent like my generation had real musicianship and staying power. gone but never will he be forgotten. RIP brother
Well said. I was in high school when Prince hit the scene. Party like its 1999 was my jam.
There will never be another like him. The talent. The style. The charisma. The swagger. The incomparable, eternal COOL.
Sadly that is the word
There will be someone like him. In 1000 years more or less. This is the time needed by human kind to give birth to another genius.
Well at least the world still have Justin Biber
No
By santa na
We don’t realize how much we loved him until he’s gone.
Check out his song: New World Order. They killed him 🙏 ❤
Pure facts
We thought he would live long…
Oh no, I’ve loved him for 40 years 💜
I still haven't accepted it 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Prince is possibly the most natural and comfortable looking guitarist you could ever see. This clip is fantastic at showing just how natural he is with it. Then of course you add all his other musical talents and you can look back on him and think he wasn't human. Amazing musician!
WORD....while playing actual music!
yes and it looks all so easy. When I hear the music, it is as if I could go out (I play no instrument, LOL) and do the same. But I definitely can not, nobody can!
I was thinking the same - the most natural, relaxed and gifted guitarist since Hendrix
Like I always say when discussing Prince, even if he lost his voice before becoming famous, he would've become Prince nonetheless... by playing the guitar.
Or the keys
Or even the bass.
I totally agree. Any instrument he played, and there's A LOT of them seemed like an extension of himself that he was born & blessed with.
Deep purple , Zepplin, Nazareth, Black Sabbath, Mothers Finest. Just a sampling about me.. 8 track days.. 33..45 vinyl. I went to a Prince show with my then girl friend ( now wife of many years) I reluctantly went. I walked out of that arena blown away completely by this guy. An absolute bad ass musician.. guitar player . Dancer. Electrified Entertainer..band leader..miss ya man....
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼🤘🏽💪🏽👌🏽✌🏽
Welcome to the club! 8 concerts for me. NONE were ever the same. God...I miss him. PURE, WALKING MUSIC. All genres.
@@TheLisab56 I swear he got possessed by Jimi Hendrixs at the beginning of his solo 1:34 Unreal….

Maintenant tu dois essayer d'être aussi fort que lui
And don't forget...self taught . No formal guitar lessons. Only God given raw talent here
you should see him playing drums....
I play guitar I went to a Prince concert sat in front row after seeing him play I didn't touch my guitar for one week. And I can really play
Go check out Prince and Penny Kravitz at Paisley Park! Holy Smokes!
This is quite simply a true and real genius at work. Effortless, elegant, powerful and supremely talented. Five years on - what a terrible loss. Miss your brilliance, Prince.
I worked the Purple rain Tour as a tech. You would be surprised at how many of the tour staff reunited when Prince died. Prince's office manager is one of my dearest friends.
Prince is the only man who can wear that outfit and still look cool
What other man would want to?

Ordered! Coming NEXT WEEK 😂!! No offense PRINCE but it'll LOOK way BETTER with BIGGER 💪 💪. ❤ ya & miss ya MY Brother!
Yeh Michael Jackson was a green beret beside Prince, but he could friggin play .

And when he played he made it look so easy, like it was a joke to him. HELLA RESPECT to this man! Definitely the #1 guitarist of all time!

13 minutes of outstanding genius! Utterly brilliant! Any kids out there who say “Prince, who?” Educate them with this! This is real music played by an exceptionally talented and cool guy. So sadly missed. RIP Prince, hope you’re rocking and funking up there xx
Just for those who may have missed it - The genius of Prince is fully demonstrated at the 4:54 mark. The transition from Play That Funky Music to Hollywood Swinging happens WITHOUT notice. It is Prince's attention to detail and command of every aspect of the band that makes the transition so smooth and flawless. God Do I Miss Him! I too hope the Prince Estate continues to treat the WORLD with more of the hidden treasures that we all know still remain unreleased.
Smooth segue.
You're correct on pointing that transition out!
This is for all those who have only witnessed the genius of Prince on that Guitar gently Weeps tribute. Most fans of his work would find it hard to make a top 10 (or even 20) of his best guitar moments...waaaay too many!!! Keep these gems coming!!!
Well said. Well played.
blablah
Eric Clapton was once asked what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world. He said, I don’t know, ask Prince.
That is a well known urban legend. Never happened but it’s a nice thought
That's not true it was jimi hendrix who was asked who is the best guitarist he sed ask rory gallagher....
Eric probably would have mentioned Mark from Dire Straits. I recommend listening to - Diar straits Alchemy “Sultans of swing”. It’s 10 min long. Best guitar playing in my opinion
@@JohnSmith-dj5gf the main thing is prince was mega and all guitarists mentioned.....jeff beck wanted to work with prince bt sadly neva happend
Right. A myth. Prince, although a great showman, is not in the same ballpark as Clapton, a true guitar genius.

May 1st 2004 I had to be dragged to Prince’s Musicology Tour concert by my wife. And that night I became a Prince fan! That man could put on a show! But what was most striking to me was a crowd of 15,000 just having a good time no matter who was standing next to them! Prince not only could entertain, he could make an audience be as one. Not many in the industry have had that talent!
A true one of a kind. There'll never be another Prince, a musical genius
Prince & Michael Jackson - both musical genius
Prince steals the show but the two dancers infront of the drum kit always make me smile, they’re so in tune😂

Prince never got enough props for his awesome voice. 🖤💜🖤 Now all the music magazines like to pretend they loved Prince all along, but they rarely ever gave him the respect he deserved. He had it all: style, groove, the funk, the voice, the skills on 27 plus instruments. True fans know. We know. We love U, Prince!
Imagine- A little black guy bringing an entire auditorium, full of people, to its feet! He was an icon!! So glad I got to see him live!
He was the lead but it took the whole band to bring it together.
Impossible to stand still during this. If you ain't moving you're dead.
I saw him live 4 times. Not anywhere near enough.😢
Ooh a little black guy
Imagine one in those boots .
Why can’t there be concerts this simple yet this amazing anymore..
