This man is possibly the most talented musician in the history of recorded time. An all-out entertainer. Always gave a 3+ hour concert that gave the fans their moneys' worth. He played 21 different instruments, could write music, read music, sing, dance and about as charismatic a figure on stage as anyone you'll ever see. A true entertainer.
It was more than fun. It was Truly an Honor to witness his Greatness on stage! Prince was Always energetic & gave you much more than you expected.If it weren't for time constraints (even then he'd do more) he would have gone all night. PRINCELUV4EVER!!!
I think the 20 plus instruments was a strech. There is a video of him with Shelia E playing the congos.And I don't think Prince was doing to well. Nevertheless. He could play alot of instruments VERY WELL. HE WAS A ONE MAN BAND!!!! A MUSICAL GENIUS. He invented neo-soul!!! gone too soon . REST IN PEACE PRINCE!!!!!

@Elim Garak lol I just used this same argument with my 10 y/o grandson last weekend when we were arguing over which was the better entertainer - Prince or MJ. I let him present his side first, then came mine. Of course, I won. 😂 RIP PRN LOVE & MISS YOU SO MUCH 👼💜✌
Truly an amazing performance! I can remember when this performance first hit. I swear I watched over and over and over again! Prince, you are truly missed.
In a different era, in a different style, Sammy Davis Jr. was on a similar level. There’s an old video of him soloing on xylophone, piano and drums all in the same song where he also sang and tap-danced. Still, I put Prince at the top all-time.
This is my favorite video of Prince. When it first came out in the 80s, even though I wasn't really a big time fan, I was mesmerized by this performance. Tight band
Talent and muthafunking substance...maybe once in his life he did something against his nature. ( Lip syncing on soul train in the 90s) but hey it is what it is for the muthafunkin goat!!!!
I’ve never seen Prince live! I regret that the most! I will say he is THE most talented performer, musician, song writer, and what ever label you want to put him under!! NO ONE CAN EVER COMPARE!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@zudayahapoyhas4307 hi patricia awww yes ..... i take this seriously too so , i really get your tears ...if you want i can tell you of two places where you can get your princely satisfaction if you like.. you might know of these two places already though. but its all i can think of ...for those [namely u & me who missed out on the reign of him]
i saw Prince live.. many times.. & yesssss.. he was something to miss.. All that, and more. He would do 2 plus hour shows, and didn't want to stop.. then he would go somewhere with his folks and do those legendary after hours shows. then it became hard to catch him.. because he would sneak into town unannounced.. they would say tickets are on sale.. and even at the last minute.. HE STILL SOLD OUT. & i would be pissed as the fuhk. the last show of his i saw was for the "Musicology" album.. and it was a blessing.. i still have the ticket stub. it was the first time i saw him do a section that was like "Unplugged", playing acoustic guitar.. just siting with the microphone Showing you how badass'd he was.. without jumping around.. it was awesome.. i miss dude so much
The GOAT, and it's not even close 💜 I love reading the comments on prince videos... so much love and appreciation, all of it fully deserved. People who appreciate Prince GET IT...love to all 💜
At that level it's impossible. The man was the everest of talent Prince was a giant and this is an amazing song. We tried with my friend from R&O to cover his great song "Dreamer". If you have 4 minutes to spare, we would love to get your opinion on it : th-cam.com/video/XgveJB1Xg6c/w-d-xo.html
I have been a Prince fan his entire career. This is my first time seeing this performance. I am completely amazed at this. That damn Prince! There will not be another.
I think what is so fascinating about Prince is his multi-dimensionality. He can be funny, funky, mysterious, kind of scary, dreamy..sexual, super male, female. Its in the music too...bebop, hip hip, funk, james brown, beetles. rick james.. Just a fascinating human.
We'll never see another like this! Whatever performance you saw, it would be top notch. He cared enough about his craft to make sure the sound was on point as well as his band. No half-assed anything. Entertainers now aren't even in his league. He's so missed. RIP.
I hate the fake pop "stars" of today, all lip-synch and dance routines. Prince was a master musician and he would take anybody in his prime! He had a great 30 year run, I remember the funk of Minneapolis Sound, especially No More Candy 4 U! This was in 2009!
One of the conspiracy theories I hav about his...leaving us all...whether or not he was forced to (yeah), is that he made these packaged-performers of today look terrible. You wouldnt buy into any of that CRAP, bcuz Prince reminds us of what its all really about. "Oh no, cant hav that, now, can we....???" WATCH ME -- STOP FAKING IT!!!!!
@@callmemonkh9020 you are so right..... I only have Prince music on everything i own..... There are none who can compare to him..... The rest are ametures
I finally figured out why exactly I appreciated Prince so much besides his music. He really really demonstrated an enthusiasm while performing. There is an old school joy in selling a song he understood to his core. Look at a lot of the old school Motown, James Brown performers, they all were well trained to sell the hell out of a song, not just perform it. It so crazy to realize that most of their performances were so well rehearsed that they came off as spontaneous.
Damn, the skills... He does a one-shot GENUINE at-venue live recording, and the results look like ANYONE else's efforts with a four-day shoot and GD Francis Ford Coppola directing. That was our Mozart. Hail to the Prince.
I think they do,I mean world capitals were coloured Purple,like the Arch de triumph in Paris was coloured Purple in his honour,everybody knows he is up there with Elvis ,Hendrix and the other greats..
He was like Jim Morrison, Curt Cobain, Freddie Mercury or Jimi Hendrix, but even more talented!Even hotter than them all! Those eyes were python like, hypnotic! I knew it when I heard When Doves Cry,I ws 16 then!But I knew this man is not any ordinary human.
The most important thing that happened when Prince died? HIS life was over. His life was NOT about the whole world. It was about HIM, Prince Rogers Nelson.
OMG! Prince was the greatest to ever be in the realm of music! The video footage of him and the Revolution performing America in Nice, France just proves this! This is so hard, funky and badass! The only way to describe what this man did is pure genius! We had a genius like this on our Earth for many years creating a bunch incredible music and we lost him in 2016 and this Prince fan can't even take that he is gone! I am happy his videos are being put up back on TH-cam so future generations can see how brilliant this man really was!
That's what I'm trying to tell this younger generation of folks, that this is how it's done! Try to learn something from Prince's performance and you'll be headed i n the right direction
This brotha was so gifted and blessed👾We truly weren’t worthy to have him in our lives,his music gave us so much to become better spirits...Rest in Paradise Prince🎸💜
This is a prime example of the results people get when they not only hone their craft but love their craft as well. But keep in mind you have to put in the work.
I am 53 now and a fan since I was 17 years old. Makes me sad to think I will never see a talent like his for the rest of my days. A truly unique musician.
To me, this is when Prince letitallgo. He shed much of the trappings of his early career-journey, and, with the momentum that PurpleRain gave him...he just took off into the stratosphere. This video literally changed my life...
So conflicting to see this video, Blessed to have witnessed the great man but so sad he's gone and we'll NEVER see anyone like him again. He had everything and his music is as fresh today as it was way back then. Kinda miss what might have been but so thankful for the memories he left me with.
Sid Lutz James Brown is none other than The Godfather of Soul! But if he and his band were on stage right now from the past, he would kick up his shoes, and dance like it’s nothin’!!
OMG❗️ I’m blown away from this performance. He gave 1001 percent‼️ Like WOW 🤩🤩🤩‼️‼️ Untouchable...I am on a high from watching this❗️‼️❗️‼️❗️‼️❗️‼️ Amazing, fantabulous, is not good enough words for this Prince 👑. There are no words...
Doesn't matter what concert footage I see, Princes' effect on fans is mesmerizing!! Not one ass in a seat, everyone on their feet jamming for the duration! I was on my feet for 2 1/2 hours when he played Vancouver in 2011. Best concert experience of my life, and I feel so blessed to have seen him at least once!
@Juantarde Me, too. I discovered his talent unfortunately after he was gone. But I am so grateful to now respect, admire and LOVE him and will listen to his music always.
Not one but The Best ! 13 times live on stage only confirmed what I already knew after the First ! He is way above everyone else and if they would put there egos aside they will all Admit
Yes, very. Saw the band live in 1987. With all the hall lights ON for almost 15 minutes, I thought this might have killed the whole magic. Just the OPPOSITE happened. Almost felt sad for the concert to fall back on routine after that special moment.
Prince was a giant and this is an amazing song. We tried with my friend from R&O to cover his great song "Dreamer". If you have 4 minutes to spare, we would love to get your opinion on it : th-cam.com/video/XgveJB1Xg6c/w-d-xo.html
Amazingly well put together! He definitely has it in him to strive wayyyyyyyy far to the top! Him and Michael both have never failed in this department!
Purple Stardust I'm just happy such a young person appreciates him...I also think that all his fans also look much younger than their ages...just my personal theory though
Purple Stardust this guy was unbelievable when watching him you know there is a God who put him here for a reason .I can't believe he gone either but his spirit is here forever
Yet another example that this man was the greatest musician who ever lived. If I hadn't seen him with my own eyes I wouldn't believe he ever existed. This man is truly incomparable.
How is Prince not considered the most talented popular musician of all time? Watching this thinking how you wrote the original song probably wrote this arrangement and to dance like that play like that lead like that…etc. 🐐
I notice Bobby Z’s drum kit was a combination of both the Simmons SDS-V drum pads triggering the Linn LM-1 & the acoustic cymbals blended together! Amazing! 🔥🔥💜💜
Prince didn't write music and lyrics for himself, he wrote it for the people in which made it unmatched by any singer or musician of his era and this era...He knew what kind of music the people liked and he related to the people musical sensnces very well...
I was never fortunate enough to see all of these ridiculously talented musicians, singers and dancers. Plus! I had a crush on Prince AND Wendy!! Best of both worlds for me. Good gawd! What great music!
I know he was working his ASS OFF bringing this to us, but God--he looks like he was having so much fun, too!! I hope I get to meet him one day, if Heaven is real.💜
That damn band keep their eyes on him the whole time and still played all their parts! Jeeze! PRINCE is the best musician and entertainer of all time and this is not up for debate. LOL
@@annetteburwell771 omg that's for sure... Morris Day, tevin Campbell, Rosie Gaines, sinade o'conner etc etc... If not for Prince, think of the beautiful music we would've missed
When Around the World in a Day came out, Purple Rain was still riding high in the public conscience. It was hard for some people who were stuck in a Purple Rain daze to move forward with Prince. Then just the next year he released the remarkable album Parade, which people really weren't ready for, (especially the film which was basically ignored). Prince had grown so much in short a short period of time that many fans got left behind. Even Sign O The Times was ahead of the curve. Then came The Black Album and Love Sexy, (and Madhouse 1 and 2). Many people were still discovering 1999 and Purple Rain, and Prince had moved so far into the future. It wasn't until the Batman soundtrack that the general public was ready to except something new. IMO, Parade and Sign O The Times, bookend albums, were oozing with masterpieces and was his most productive period. And then there were the many hits Price wrote for others. He could of made an album of #1 hits just on the music he gave to others. Prince, from 1980 to 1987 reached as far as any musician ever had into his mind and didn't come out for a very long time. Only Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Steely Dan and a few others ever dared to go this distance to discover genius. I'm so glad Prince did. Peace!
true but your forgetting about david bowie he had an impressive run of good to great albums during the 70s arguably even better than stevie wonder's run during the 70s

The Revolution is Prince's best band by far! They were a whole jam!
Yes they were my favorite too !!!
No current artist can even come close to the greatest musician of all time 💜
Yaaaaaay baby.
Whenever you heard Prince say "Good God" in any of his performances, you knew go it would go on forever..he was a genius. True musician and artist.
Haha... yeah, it was basically the signal for a ten-minute funkathon ;)
Yes indeed -- you knew he was getting the band ready for a James Brown extended workout

Prince and the Revolution at the top of their game. Sublime.
Truly an amazing performance! I can remember when this performance first hit. I swear I watched over and over and over again! Prince, you are truly missed.
THE GREATEST MUSICIAN EVER
Prince was a musical genius! His first backing band and the Revolution were awesome! Prince himself, well, what can you say! Miss you, Prince! 😢😢😢 💜💜💜
The only Artist to have a guitar solo and a drum solo in the same song. He was truly amazing and will be missed forever.
Dancing and singing
In a different era, in a different style, Sammy Davis Jr. was on a similar level. There’s an old video of him soloing on xylophone, piano and drums all in the same song where he also sang and tap-danced. Still, I put Prince at the top all-time.
There will only ever be one Prince 💜
Somebody hasn't listened to Led Zeppelin and it shows.
@@nosajdabeno Jimmy Page did a guitar solo and a drum solo during the same song Live?

I miss Prince. He’s a prodigy. Who’s still listening to him besides me?
Everyday I still listen. Glad they brought back the Prince Channel on SXM (even though its just for the month). Hope it stays.
This is my favorite video of Prince. When it first came out in the 80s, even though I wasn't really a big time fan, I was mesmerized by this performance. Tight band

Always. Been a fan over 35 years.

Wow that's awesome
One of the greatest live performance videos ever made. PERIOD!

He is james brown and rick james together
All Tim
And so so much more!!!
I definitely can see the James Brown influence
Prince played 27 instruments.
I finally figured out why exactly I appreciated Prince so much besides his music. He really really demonstrated an enthusiasm while performing. There is an old school joy in selling a song he understood to his core. Look at a lot of the old school Motown, James Brown performers, they all were well trained to sell the hell out of a song, not just perform it. It so crazy to realize that most of their performances were so well rehearsed that they came off as spontaneous.

Prince had the skills in music like Bruce Lee had the skills in martial arts
The world doesn't understand what we lost when Prince passed.
I think they do,I mean world capitals were coloured Purple,like the Arch de triumph in Paris was coloured Purple in his honour,everybody knows he is up there with Elvis ,Hendrix and the other greats..
There will always be a Prince-shaped hole in the world.

word ! sure the heck did !!
truth be told with that comment right there ;)
I agree he showed the French that we Americans are not so bad and are beyond Cool and Talented when given the chance to prove themselves.

Prince and The Revolution. I'm honored to say I went to the Controversy tour, 1999 tour, and Purple Rain tour. The live performances were amazing.
Greatest live performer ever!
Geez. The choreography for the band is crazy. This man was truly a genius
Prince is one of the realest artist ever! So far ahead of his time!
Time is a trick
I saw Prince played the drums and HE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get down wit yo bad self!! Or should I say ROCK ON PRINCE!!!
My National anthem
He was his time. Heck, in truth, he was also the Time (he just Morris play).
I didn't know he could play the drums, so Bad Ass!!! Love it!!! He is a Legend!
He could every instrument
He could play anything, except wind instruments I think.
Drums piano, guitar, organ and more. All self taught. A brilliant genius. He was very, very good at everything he did. Amazing man.
I showed him playing, bass,guitare,piano, organ, drums in Paris , a genius
This is a prime example of the results people get when they not only hone their craft but love their craft as well. But keep in mind you have to put in the work.
He's is my Muse
Monumental
Prince had enormous gifts, then put in the hard work. He was untouchable.
thanks mum
Absolutely! Positively! To be that great, you have to put the work in, it's called honeing ur craft, it's easier said than done. 1love
Tambourines in the crowd? I love that!
I love the rebellious, teenage angst to Prince's music. True GENIUS!
DEAR GOD I MISS HIM! This performance still knocks me out!
His purpleness?
Getting goosebumps just watching this, absolutely insane performance.
I am 53 now and a fan since I was 17 years old. Makes me sad to think I will never see a talent like his for the rest of my days. A truly unique musician.
59. The same.
Truly awesome

James Brown, the Godfather of Funk, said it 30 years before Prince, and Prince made it NEW again, better, and he Owned It till he died.
Prince Nelson James Brown word
Sid Lutz
James Brown is none other than The Godfather of Soul! But if he and his band were on stage right now from the past, he would kick up his shoes, and dance like it’s nothin’!!
God is good. All the time! And all the time. My God is good! (Not just when singers say it.)
Electric performance!
OMG❗️ I’m blown away from this performance. He gave 1001 percent‼️ Like WOW 🤩🤩🤩‼️‼️ Untouchable...I am on a high from watching this❗️‼️❗️‼️❗️‼️❗️‼️ Amazing, fantabulous, is not good enough words for this Prince 👑. There are no words...
Ain't nobody better...ain't nobody even close
James Brown and Jackie Wilson is right there.... you can tell he studied them....
TOTALLY agree!
Truth
💜🎸💞K. I. C. K. A. Z. Z🎶❗
Chaos Ratedxxx 100% he did. Especially James Brown
That drum solo OMG!!!!
Doesn't matter what concert footage I see, Princes' effect on fans is mesmerizing!! Not one ass in a seat, everyone on their feet jamming for the duration! I was on my feet for 2 1/2 hours when he played Vancouver in 2011. Best concert experience of my life, and I feel so blessed to have seen him at least once!
The greatest showman ever.
Exactly!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Amen 2 that ...💜💜💜💜
Facts
@Juantarde Me, too. I discovered his talent unfortunately after he was gone. But I am so grateful to now respect, admire and LOVE him and will listen to his music always.
save the hype for your blog
Does anybody still doubt that this Man was one of the best artist, performer and musician of all time! R.I.P.= Replacement Isn't Possible!!!
I often wonder why some artist work so hard ?? He literally worked his self to death.
Quintin Williams naaaaaaaaaaaa he can never be replaced
Not one but The Best ! 13 times live on stage only confirmed what I already knew after the First ! He is way above everyone else and if they would put there egos aside they will all Admit
Quintin Williams clever
If they do, they are blind as well as deaf and dumb.
He went into straight beast mode!!!!!
what a vibe! i forgot about the part where he passes out the vinyl. i remember being jealous of not being there. so much energy!
My one musical regret is not seeing this guy live. He's just amazing.
Yes, very. Saw the band live in 1987. With all the hall lights ON for almost 15 minutes, I thought this might have killed the whole magic. Just the OPPOSITE happened. Almost felt sad for the concert to fall back on routine after that special moment.
I did, a small audience in Hawaii
from someone who saw him live 30x, he was THEEE BEST.
it was a spiritual experience.. I saw him 5 times and it was uplifting..
@@kingofdelfinusdelphus1743 Agreed! He took us to church every live show. I saw him live 30x. He’s been my fav since the mid-80s. 🌟
The GOAT!
Burned the house down . RIP to this great revolutionary master musician .
One of the most magnetic, hypnotizing performances I have ever seen in my life. He worked circles around everyone else. 💜
He was a force to be reckoned with..that's for sure Aug.2020
The Revolution was my absolute favorite Prince band. Never gets old.
The epitome of genius!! 💜
Wow. This is amazing. Prince was the ultimate performer and musician💜💜 Best concerts EVER🙌The band is ALL the way live, lit🎼💜
Prince was a giant and this is an amazing song. We tried with my friend from R&O to cover his great song "Dreamer". If you have 4 minutes to spare, we would love to get your opinion on it : th-cam.com/video/XgveJB1Xg6c/w-d-xo.html
Amazingly well put together! He definitely has it in him to strive wayyyyyyyy far to the top! Him and Michael both have never failed in this department!
Still can't believe this icon is gone. This was so amazing! I wish I was alive during this time!!
Fannie Dixon Because I've seen most of his performances and heard all his albums. Like that I can tell he was and will always be an icon.
Purple Stardust I'm just happy such a young person appreciates him...I also think that all his fans also look much younger than their ages...just my personal theory though
kookoo78 :)
Purple Stardust yeah you missed out on the greatest artist of all time but at lease you can check him out here on TH-cam ...
Purple Stardust this guy was unbelievable when watching him you know there is a God who put him here for a reason .I can't believe he gone either but his spirit is here forever
I love and miss Prince everyday he entertains my life 💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@victoriabrodie1348 I have to agree with you miss Victoria, he is amazing and so are the musicians he surrounds himself with!!!
Aug 1986 Wembley Arena. First time I saw Prince and he played this song. Stunning then and stunning now 30 years later!
Yet another example that this man was the greatest musician who ever lived. If I hadn't seen him with my own eyes I wouldn't believe he ever existed. This man is truly incomparable.
Name me another MO FO who can play 21 instruments well!
true story i only saw him once and it eclipsed anything i saw including george clinton....nothing like being mesmerized for 2 hrs and 30 minutes
Man, Prince Was 🥶 Cold As Ice.
Love that he repped the red, black and green flag. The real builders of America.✊
Nothing made Jimi 🎸 proud
How is Prince not considered the most talented popular musician of all time? Watching this thinking how you wrote the original song probably wrote this arrangement and to dance like that play like that lead like that…etc. 🐐
I notice Bobby Z’s drum kit was a combination of both the Simmons SDS-V drum pads triggering the Linn LM-1 & the acoustic cymbals blended together! Amazing! 🔥🔥💜💜
The coolest live drum sound ever. 💜🥁🖤
A JAM!!! Lyrics are real!
The G.O.A.T
Prince didn't write music and lyrics for himself, he wrote it for the people in which made it unmatched by any singer or musician of his era and this era...He knew what kind of music the people liked and he related to the people musical sensnces very well...
Genius!!! The term G.O.A.T is used lightly these days. He really is!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊🕊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was never fortunate enough to see all of these ridiculously talented musicians, singers and dancers. Plus! I had a crush on Prince AND Wendy!! Best of both worlds for me. Good gawd! What great music!
I know he was working his ASS OFF bringing this to us, but God--he looks like he was having so much fun, too!! I hope I get to meet him one day, if Heaven is real.💜
This performance left me speechless. R.I.P. Prince...
Prince connected and said everything he needed to say through his music, it impacted so hard, it's in us forever! 💜
That damn band keep their eyes on him the whole time and still played all their parts! Jeeze! PRINCE is the best musician and entertainer of all time and this is not up for debate. LOL
Lmaooooooo nope, and if anyone tries to debate this I'll hold your beer & then tap u out & you'll hold mine lol
Yes he was and never minded sharing the spotlight and letting others shine.
@@annetteburwell771 omg that's for sure... Morris Day, tevin Campbell, Rosie Gaines, sinade o'conner etc etc... If not for Prince, think of the beautiful music we would've missed
You said what you said.
@@khontratv9350 😂🤣🤣
When Around the World in a Day came out, Purple Rain was still riding high in the public conscience. It was hard for some people who were stuck in a Purple Rain daze to move forward with Prince. Then just the next year he released the remarkable album Parade, which people really weren't ready for, (especially the film which was basically ignored). Prince had grown so much in short a short period of time that many fans got left behind. Even Sign O The Times was ahead of the curve. Then came The Black Album and Love Sexy, (and Madhouse 1 and 2). Many people were still discovering 1999 and Purple Rain, and Prince had moved so far into the future. It wasn't until the Batman soundtrack that the general public was ready to except something new. IMO, Parade and Sign O The Times, bookend albums, were oozing with masterpieces and was his most productive period. And then there were the many hits Price wrote for others. He could of made an album of #1 hits just on the music he gave to others. Prince, from 1980 to 1987 reached as far as any musician ever had into his mind and didn't come out for a very long time. Only Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Steely Dan and a few others ever dared to go this distance to discover genius. I'm so glad Prince did. Peace!
Bowie, Prince, & Jack White...brother
Well said
lovesexy is one of the greatest albums ever recorded... and the entire world slept on it...
true but your forgetting about david bowie he had an impressive run of good to great albums during the 70s arguably even better than stevie wonder's run during the 70s
@@jaye501exactly definitely one of my top 5 favorite albums from the late great prince
9 min songs, this guy loved to jam with his band…keep the party going! 🔥
