How the hell does he make an Elvis Presley song his own and take it an completely different direction and make it work effortlessly! Absolute genius! Your bang on by the way, studying him is a lifetimes work, I've been a fan for almost 38 years, still watching videos like this I've never seen before, magic!
I love the moments where you can tell he’s just letting go and completely having fun. The laughs he gives at the beginning might honestly be my favorite part of this. You can feel the joy pouring out. And god Jon Blackwell was a monster on the drums. I always felt like he should be in the conversation for greatest drummer(s) and he never gets mentioned. I’d take him over almost anyone if I was putting together a band. The band here is basically the same lineup he had for most of the 00s and they were so dialed in at this point that they could stop on a dime and follow him in any direction and be at his level. Fantastic.
This is far and away the best lineup of musicians he ever played with. I will also go so far as to say that these two shows may be the finest performances of his career. The musicianship is off the charts, he is so joyous and loose and his guitar playing is locked in like never before.
It's hard to argue with that when we have these performances to look at. I personally think his best BAND was NPG early-90s of Sonny T, Michael Bland, Tommy Barbarella. A phenomenally talented group of guys but they played like a group of friends too. For skill, I do think you're right that this lineup is the most talented. Just insane levels in every area.
Man, do I love that one-two punch of "Stratus/All Shook Up"! Thank you so much for getting to this request. Who else would genetically bind a jazz fusion song by drummer Billy Cobham with an Elvis cover? (I'll answer: NOBODY, that's who.) To see Blackwell pay homage to Cobham during the drum solo is also a cool moment. The dynamics of the going from the precision 1st solo to the emotionally-charged last solo, plus the expert crowd control and the band stopping "on-the-one" right on a dime is just too much. Awesome performance. 🔥
mharrislove, it sure was, I'm really understanding the term "rabbit hole" now when you guys mention it to me lol. There's always more to see and learn. :)
Simply the GOAT!!! His ability of being in conmmand & in control is second to none, in additon to fill in clear funky constant riff, controls a perfect homogeneous musical fabric that can be stopped and instrument selected at his command. what he does with a real band is what DJs of todays do with machines but not even at the smallest fraction of greatness that Prince has had on his performances. Hes Probably the greatest band leader of all time period!!! How many guitarist would dare to claim that???
Musicians that worked with him always said he was the greatest band leader that ever worked with and that includes Maceo Parker. He adored Prince and said he was pure genius.
Prince IS the Greatest Guitar Player Ever!!!! Greatest everything. No one should HAVE all the TALENT.....BUT I'm glad I was here in his Lifetime......this WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN AT THIS LEVEL EVER AGAIN!!! All the other Stars knew he shined brighter!!!
Thank you for reply.....if you can check him out at Las Vegas doing 1+1+1 is 3 live.....I want to highlight his James Brown licks...and the band is Funky. I enjoy your show.
One of my favorite things about this channel is the song selection by the communuty... no other channel dives as deep, so a lot gets left out. Also, I've been trying to get my husband to understand the "life study" thing about Prince - lol (though he has become a bit of a Prinve fan in spite of himself 😂) - thank you, as always.
Thank you Rhonda, I do my best as a one man show here (maybe someday I'll be able to hire a production assistant lmao) but I do the best I can, and I also listen to the people. It's no secret that what really makes this channel special are the people in the community here. :)
Yeah, awesome as P always is. Montreux performances all rock, I always felt he put extra effort into those. Maybe to prove his musicianship to a wider community. Love the humour as always, your production and editing skills are showing through. Thanks for the effort in putting these together, much appreciated. Stay funky and b wild.
He was/is music. He heard it in his head 24/7. He dreamed songs, waking up to go and record. Listen to Susan Rogers, who for nearly 5 years, while at his most prolific due to Purple Rain, saw first hand how music was pouring out of him. It was great music also.
I have the full show in HD, the more I watch it , this could be prince's greatest show ,so many magic moments in these shows , keep up the good ,loving your channel here in the UK 🙏❤️
Great video and what a great selection and what a great reaction ...it's just all great man! And I agree, the line-up with John Blackwell and Renato Neto is beyond great. Awesome! O(+> 4ever
I have seen it all but somehow I slept on this, there are so many performances,. I am loving this….it is so clear that he put 100% into all his performances…. he planned everything so well
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar It is fantastic but many say his early 90s band - local MN musicians Sonny Thompson, Michael Bland and TOmmy Elm were possibly his most aggressive....

@@RBHADD Dolphin on Letterman. Hilarious! He really was pissed at Dave and didn't want to have to speak with him so he invented a grwt way to exit stage right!
U r correct! He’s ONE with his instruments. Again, check out the Santana medley! Prince was often compared to Jimi Hendrix but when u listen to his solos, u will hear Santana in one of his many styles. Check it!
This video was in my recommended videos and I’m glad I watched it. I haven’t watched this particular performance in a while and I’m glad to see that the genius of Prince is still being revived. I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching your other videos.
This is definitely a great band. I once saw him with this band at paisley Park. It was 2am, and the only people there watching him was me and my wife, along with about 16 drunk high school kids from Chanhassen. I'm guessing it was the only place open for these drunk kids to go. Lol....I could tell the kids weren't even prince fans, it was just a local place that provided a place for gathering at that time at night. Easily one of the weirdest times ive had there. To this day my wife and I talk about it. But like normal, he could have cared less who was in the audience, he just wanted to jam. But it was the first time I had seen this particular band. I'm guessing he just wanted to play with his new band as much as possible. Prince use to turn a purple light on in front of paisley if he was gonna play that night. Sometimes he wouldn't turn it on until midnight, so no one would see it unless you drove there or you knew someone who worked there like me. But anyway, that was the first time I saw this formation of this band.
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar definitely, he had security. But also we're talking about Minnesotans. We're not the craziest bunch. Everyone understands how to act in that place. I don't ever remember people acting crazy there. He also didn't serve alcohol in there, so most people were chill.
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar If u have some copyright issue, react to The Question of U live in La Coruna, 1990. It's from the same tour, very similar performance. You won't have any problem with this one.
Not one to comment much on sites but I wanted to say that you have some of the best Prince musical reaction videos by far. Your sincerity and appreciation for the music and level of talent really come through your videos. I am and remain a Prince fam since I was a kid. My first concert was 40 years ago and I went to just about every show he put on in town including his last two in 2016. I still have ticket stubs for both in 1982 and 2016 plus many in between. IMO, he was and remains the most complete musical artist at every level ever. To see him live in person was like seeing no other and I've seen many artist from all different kinds of music. I love really good live music and performers!! My point is, I've lived in this Prince "rabbit hole" most of my entire life so I might know a little something. So I just want to acknowledge your great work. Great reaction, love all of Montreux 2009. Please keep it up.
I was lucky enough to see John Blackwell sit in at Wallys in Boston one time. Blew my mind. He was playing with Patti Labell back then. I was 5 feet away from that madness. RIP John
I not a big fan of his, per say, but always gave this guy props because there are people on their own level. Prince was one of those people. I really wish I would have gone to his club at the Rio in Vegas. The thing was you never knew if he would show up. But I heard some of those shows where amazing.
Nice reaction Bryan 😃💜 This entire concert was fire 🔥 and Prince covered Jimi Hendrix’s “Spanish Magic Castle “ during this performance too AWESOME as well 😉💜
I think if you’re looking to get a better idea of what Prince was musically and how good he actually was, you should watch this interview with Susan Rogers (if you haven’t already). You’ll gain a better understanding of what took place behind the scenes, in the studio and on tour-how high his musical output was. So much so that he had to make up other bands to distribute music through because Warner Bros was worried about over saturation. And I don’t even think she touches on the jazz stuff in this interview, like Madhouse with its made up musicians and whatnot. He was no basic pop star, that’s for sure. th-cam.com/video/8ON0nQCQF08/w-d-xo.html
Well worth the wait....who doesn't like a bit of 'All Shook Up' hey?! His timing and rhythm is incredible isn't it! I tend to agree with you Bryan about this band, they get a big sound from a smallish set-up (the 2nd keys player only played part of the shows). The performance of 'When you were mine' from this show is amazing too...or as the kids would say 'fire' (or even 'lit' 😂). Thanks for these amazing reactions!
I agree with U 150 million % when u say that Prince is a life study & there is nobody like Prince & I can hear feel your emotions at the end of this reaction & u r very right about all of those bands that u mentioned 💯🔥😎 & in a lot of Prince songs I hear a very strong 💪 Santana, Joni Mitchell & James Brown influence in them 🎶🎼🎵🥁🎹🎸💜💯🔥😎 I'm really luv 3rdEG ( 3rd Eye Girl )& what they have 2 offer & what 3rdEG bring 2 the table 💯🔥😎 & I luv how they helped Prince create how Prince wanted song's like " I Can Never Take The Place Of Your Man ", " Something In The Water ", " Let's Go Crazy " reloaded, " Little Red Corvette " Slow Down & few other great song's by Prince 😱 like u my fried I really think that this 2009 band line just might b his best musical line that I've heard thus far 💜 💯🔥😎🎶🎼🎵🥁🎹🎸💜
Their are players out there with better technical ability but I have never seen anyone play a guitar like it was part of their very being like Prince does...It's like the music is flowing out of him and through the guitar.
His best band is John Blackwell drums Rhonda Smith Bass Mike Scott Rhythm guitar Chance Howard and Rento Neto keys Candy Dulpher and Maceo Parker Sax Greg Boyer Trombone
Her name is Dulfer, not Dulpher, as she is from the Netherlands. The best bass player in Prince´s band was Larry Graham, but Ronda was better suited for this Jazz festival I think
This was a great showcase of him playing those 2 tunes. Check out his performance on the morning TV show Good Morning America. This was back in 2006 when he was promoting the album 3121. He plays guitar and background singing for Tamar. They perform a song from her album that didn't get released. The song title is Red Headed Stepchild. th-cam.com/video/aUXLsKFcVnc/w-d-xo.html
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar ELECTRIC CHAIR features PATRICE RUSHEN jazz musician/composer who PRINCE wrote "I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER" for they both were featured on RIGHT ON magazine in the early 80's for their musicianship she equally talented.
The baseline in Stratus is actualy Billy Cobham . Prince Composed a lot of music for other artist. Some times he used an other artist for his song. Like "whole lotta love" from led zeppelin. In the las Vegas show. ( Listen to that solo) ;-)
As a non/aspiring musician, I'd like to know how do you recognize when a musician becomes "one with the instrument"? In watching some of your older videos of you playing, I could be tempted to describe you the same way based on how quickly your hands are moving across the guitar. So it must not be just about speed of playing, right?
At the end of the Elvis song ”All Shook Up” Prince says ”Love you Maestro”. Is he talking about Elvis or who? (I wouldn’t be surprised after hearing that Prince was the owner of a big Elvis collection!)
🔥 '" Stratus " 🔥 is the perfect name 4 this song 🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎹💜😎💯 cuz it definitely takes a good grip of u & take u on nice flight thru the Stratosphere & drops u off out there 4 a sec so 1 can get a good look 👁👁 at Mother Earth 🌎 & how beautiful & majestic Mother Earth 🌎 truly is without all the bullshit 💩 unessessary negativity, stress, drama & chaos that people tend 2 have & bring with themselves & whatever issues & problems that people pack in 2 there luggage 🤣😂😅💯😎🔥
Cameo are interesting to me. When Word Up came out in 1986 I absolutely loved that song... about a year ago I did a bit of research to see more on their history, I'm going to brush up on it... :)
Oh Jesus. I've been a big fan of Billy Cobham AND Prince, and had no idea the Purple One covered this classic track from Billy's classic Spectrum album. Wow! And guess what, Prince is a better guitarist than Tommy Bolin. Which is to say, Prince is an AMAZING guitarist.

In watching some of your older videos of you playing, I could be tempted to describe you the same way based on how quickly your hands are moving across the guitar. So it must not be just about speed of playing, right?
This is a great question Jason I’m going to answer it next week with a video and a shout out to you 😊🎶🎸
Its all in the movement and expressions ...
Don't know if you did this video... America by Prince.... High Engery Performance and a surprise at the end
Hi Leonard! I did in fact do a reaction to that one awhile ago, it was blocked on YT and is up on my Patreon :)
At the end of the Elvis song ”All Shook Up” Prince says ”Love you Maestro”. Is he talking about Elvis or who? (I wouldn’t be surprised after hearing that Prince was the owner of a big Elvis collection!)

Rip prince

Prince was also very influenced by Carlos Santanas playing.
The first time I saw Blackwell on drums was with his first big gig playing with the funk band Cameo in 96.
i think more than anyone else.
Cameo are interesting to me. When Word Up came out in 1986 I absolutely loved that song... about a year ago I did a bit of research to see more on their history, I'm going to brush up on it... :)
Check out Cameo live in Aruba in 96...Blackwell on drums and the great Aaron Mills on bass....funky.
Oh Jesus. I've been a big fan of Billy Cobham AND Prince, and had no idea the Purple One covered this classic track from Billy's classic Spectrum album. Wow!
And guess what, Prince is a better guitarist than Tommy Bolin. Which is to say, Prince is an AMAZING guitarist.

Prince said he was influenced by Santana.
I believe it for sure, I did a reaction to his Santana medley last week, it was pretty awesome.
Everybody has opinion of who is a great guitar player in my opinion brian setzer is the greatest guitar player
He is a great one for sure Will! :)
