In fairness to the crowd...how could you make wild and dancing with the performance of Prince when you were sorrounded by big tables with glasses of wines and some foods on the plates😁
catalina I love Prince. But, he seemed to give his very best performances when he knew he had a huge audience and knew he was being filmed. Not every concert was a long concert. I saw him in Tacoma in 2011 and the concert that night was barely 90 minutes long with one encore. He was human and he could of had an off night that, I guess
Absolute genius, but to anyone who ever went to a paisley park party, you knew you might get 4 hours or 4 minutes. He was human, depended on the night.
I saw Prince back in 2004 or 2005 in what was the Meadowlands in New Jersey. He had no opening act and did 3 sets, with the second set being acoustic, just Prince and a guitar. He was truly amazing to see. And everyone in attendance was given his latest full CD at the time upon entry. Always a class act.
@@AC-mp7cx yes, artists like Prince and Bruce Springsteen but there's also artists like mj who perform with machines despite having such fame which is really cringy if u ask me 😃
The second best super bowl performer Bruno Mars Unappreciated for the gift n talent n the performer that he is multi instrument player Musician writer producer choreographer dancer actor. Way underrated unappreciated. Sucks !
I think history will tell Prince was the most literal guitar hero of his time. And perhaps many decades forward. I'm saying Prince is shoulder to shoulder to Debussy/Chopin/Purcell/and the rest.
Every time that I watch this cat I'm almost moved to tears. He loved music and performing so much, and he was full of life as a result of this. This was an amazing performance! That guitar solo was fuckin' phenomenal! PRINCE was one the greatest guitar players in music history! I would put him second after the great JIMI HENDRIX on my top 50 listing of guitar legends.
What made him special is that, if you ever saw him in concert more than once, he never played the same songs. He only played certain songs because promoters would demand it because the masses couldn't keep up. I saw him do an entire jazz set, nothing from PR or 1999.
Robert Casey Gault Jr. Saw them at the Pyramid in Memphis in 2004. In the round. No opener and he played for 3 hours...Acoustic set...You name it. Left there feeling like I played the gig. John Blackwell was a freak
@@bpbrowning78 In all seriousness, we know Prince was a genius...John was at least his equal behind the kit. I still cannot believe he passed away, and at such a young age. John had a command of the kit that was, as you imply, not of this Earth.
That’s the comment I came to see. JBJ was a monster player that didn’t get near enough credit. Fitting he played for Prince, who also didn’t get enough credit for his playing. Both gone far too soon.
Every time he sings this song and says don't let the elevator bring you down, I want to cry. We didn't know it would be prophetic. 😢 he is one of the God's
I never get tired of watching him play the guitar, man he was a BEAST !! So talented, gorgeous, so missed. I just wish he had a close confidante that could have been there for him in the end.
Dearly beloved indeed! The elevator did break him down, and it broke my heart that this beautiful one was alone on the elevator floor like he was discovered. Our dearly beloved pretty man was right with the Lord, and up there rearranging music for the angels, and jamming with the greatest musicians the world has ever known. Rest in power Prince, we will keep the party moving, just like he told us. 👑 ⭐️
I swear, this song will never get old. He performed it just as good, if not better than the recording. He owns the stage. He is a true legend, but sadly not as remembered as others. I oath to keep him alive in our hearts. He was amazing. Rest In Peace Prince.
You can’t be serious. “Greatest guitar player of time”. He is not even on the top 100 list. Granted he was an excellent entertainer but guitar player?????? NOT.
@@geraldroraback5432 I'm not a complete authority on guitarists and would not claim he was the Greatest guitar player of all time but if there are 100 better guitarists than prince then the world is blessed.
Let’s get this straight right now. Prince was a very good entertainer and had a good voice. He also had a huge stage presents with very talented dancers and back of musicians with another guitar player who Prince stated was better than himself. Prince was not a great guitar player. He admitted that himself.
@@geraldroraback5432 despite his enormous talent prince remained modest, is Eric Clapton on your list of top 100 greatest guitarists? if he is I believe he was asked how it felt to be the best guitarist in the world? his reply, "don't ask me ask prince" 😁
@@philbartlett395 Clapton was a great musician. Rated 53rd on the list of the greatest guitarists. It was Clapton’s voice and what musicians he surrounded himself with that made him great. He also wrote some great tunes.
No superlative or accolade is good enough to describe Prince's talent!!!!! He pretty much played all the instruments with equal conviction and sang beautifully too. Man, I miss him so much!!!!!
What a gem of a performance. The production quality and sound mix is is astonishingly good. The HoF could not have opened its doors wide enough to enshrine this beautiful man.
I think the audience was in awe of Prince not snubing him at all. Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP said he couldn't believe his eyes when as he watched Prince perform. Eric Clapton said Prince is the GOD of the guitar not I. What does that tell you???? The man was a PHENOMENAL guitarist in every since of the word!!!!! Rest easy BEAUTIFUL ONE. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Right at the end, Prince was signalling his tech to turn up the volume on his guitar. Prince was an incredible performer and a badass guitar player. RIP
It was a privilege growing up as a teenager in the 80s. We may be getting older and many our icons are gone but we got to experience the likes of Prince, MJ, run DMC and awesome hairbands. Compared to the computer generated crap today I say we were the lucky ones! Music is vessel that takes you back to a time, place or event. What a vessel we as children of the 80s have!
Girl I have loved for years just told me she's gettin' married to somebody and it's not me..."I'm not gonna let de-elevator bring us down." Thank you Prince. I needed this right now.
This is ONE of my Favorite songs by PRINCE, VERY TALENTED MUSICIAN AND SINGER, PRODUCER AND SONGWRITER, The Audience was to laid back, I would have been partying like it's 1999.🥳🥳🥳
Por Dios que talento musical de que planeta has venido. Prince solo él podía hacer las modificaciones a sus temas y solo el lograba calidad total. Prince 4ever
In my opinion the so called people who make these decision on who is the best guitar players opinion don't really matter, it's the fans and record, concerts sales, longevity is what really matters. Even in death he is still the greatest and his fans say so, that is better cause if he was alive today, his concerts would be packed out.
@@richardd6669 Please... “Paige”?🙄 Yeah right. Page couldn’t touch Jimi OR Prince scale speed. THAT’S what makes a guitar hero. SPEED Danny Gatton & Stevie Ray Vaughan Make page & Clapton look like rank amateurs

I didn't know prince had performed by himself besides the "my guitar gently weeps " segment. His guitar solo on " My guitar gently weeps" has got to be one of the most iconic moments in rock n roll and pop music history.

That guy can play guitar, easily one of the most exciting players I've ever seen, probably could pick up any instrument in 5 minutes and sound like an expert on it.
Prince should have won 💯 100 Grammy Awards he was a Film Producer and a Movie Star as well as a Dynamic Recording Artist ❤️ and a Global Super Star 🌠✨ at the same time so Intimidating to think about too 💕 much talent to handle Rest easy Prince we 💕 love you this is Geraldine Walker from Saginaw Michigan
He gave it his all. Even when performing for a crowd of statues.

When guitarists see shows like this, we stand still and silently stare at his hands until the song is over, then we politely clap.
I never get tired of listening to this genius.
No never
Same, only CDs I play is Prince🎶💜
I agree!
Me to
Genius?
Prince will go down as the Mozart of our era!!!!!
One of the best shows I've had the privilege of watching. He's absolutely generous with his gift. No other artist will give you 5 encores.

I saw him in Tacoma in 2011 and the concert that night was barely 90 minutes long with one encore. He was human and he could of had an off night that, I guess
Well, to be fair, Bruce Springsteen will stretch out a concert as long as the audience wants, too. :)

I feel bad for those that have never seen him live. It's truly a spiritual experience. Seen him 10xs.
as someone who's never seen him, it pains me to know what I missed. It must have been absolutely special.
I wish I had! You are blessed.
I wish I had had the chance😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@Lotusflwr6758 same here!
100% spiritual experience for me too. I was lucky enough to see him 3 times, all at Garden in NYC. So grateful. Just beyond description.
I've seen all the gigs in my 49 years but seeing Prince live about 10 years ago was the best one ever.
AIC?
Same here ! Saw him at Ahoy in Rotterdam in the summer of 2011. Awsome concert with mostly funky stuff from his early days.
I saw the Diamonds and Pearls tour, the only chance I ever had to see him live, and was blown away forever.
Prince always assembled stacked bands. World-class musicians.
so do many artists
@@AC-mp7cx yes, artists like Prince and Bruce Springsteen but there's also artists like mj who perform with machines despite having such fame which is really cringy if u ask me 😃
Oh, yeah! The talent of his musicians is jaw-dropping.
Got the honour of seeing Prince six times. Money well spent. Beautiful man who made the world stop and listen
He always shreds so effortlessly.
His halftime show at the Superbowl ! Absolutely The best, nothing even comes close.
not even close to the best.
MJ's was the first major one, and the blueprint for all to follow
Bruno Mars is now the best.
The second best super bowl performer
Bruno Mars
Unappreciated for the gift n talent n the performer that he is multi instrument player
Musician writer producer choreographer dancer actor. Way underrated unappreciated. Sucks !
I could have done without those 2 female dancers distracting.
@@bbgirl6741 not even close
He never got enough credit for his guitar playing.
Eric Clapton said Prince is the only guitar player he would pay to hear play.
@@66fredo99 that was a myth, not true

Out of all of the 80s mega stars (Madonna, MJ, Whitney) Prince defiantly aged the best
👍🏻
Madonna is the only one still alive --- so she's the winner
@@fredwerza3478 Madonna is terrible
Fun Fact: Prince, MJ, Madonna, and Cyndi Lauper all born in 1958…(we ‘58 babies are 👍😉).
I mean MJ died 13 years ago. But he was very vibrant and aged well too. He just had other issues hurting his health
Prince was clearly in his comfort zone when he was performing on stage. This guy was amazing!
His timing is perfect. Both on the guitar and in his movements!
I saw him in concert and it was wonderful. Prince was way ahead of his time but he served his purpose in life.
Prince could wear anything.... Anything and make it look good

Candy Dulfer on sax was definitely a great addition.
