Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Frank Zappa, Johnny Winter, nearly every blues guitarist are all probably better. Price is finitely underrated, just watch his video "concert" Sign O' the Times, I would compare that to Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same
YES! YES! YES! he plays 21 instruments and is a master of 19 of them according to documentary.......Supernatural talent, RIP PRINCE greatly missed! oh and by they way he did not rehearse this was on the fly they did not know what he was going to do.
Hendrix, Page, Vaughn, Winter were innovators who built on the early American blues artists, and created the genre we now loosely call “blues rock”. All are considered guitar gods. They created much of what others did later. Prince was of the next generation, and was one of the greatest musicians of my lifetime. This much is indisputable. His music didn’t fit the “guitar god” mode of the others, and I feel that’s possibly why he didn’t get the recognition. IMO he’s up there with those other guys, and had complete mastery if his instrument. Just my opinion, though.
Dani Harrison was a huge Prince fan. When Dani heard that his father abdvPrince were both to be inducted unto the Rock Hall of Fame on the sane night, Dani asked if Prince would join the already tremendous line up and play the guitar solo. Prince did not disappoint. He was such a great performer his guitar playing was often underestimated.
Bruh. Prince put some stank on that solo. He showed his whole ass, threw the guitar, and strutted off the stage like “I told y’all I was NOT to be fucked with.” 🤣🤣
@@lumiere7216 yeah to have the balls to walk off the stage like that, is like saying I jsut proved I am the shit I am going home now, Big Brass cahonnas on that man.
I love the smile on Prince's face. He knows he is absolutely killing it. One of the greatest moments in rock history, IMO. Prince was in a league of his own.
Of course he was...he never attended the rehersals..he was PLAYING the entire time..the perfect revenge to Rollin Stones Magazine who didn’t enroll Prince into the top 100 guitarists of all time.
@@ivankarim8678Why do you all keep spreading false information, in EVERY reaction video of this performance? He was at the researsal. Read Rolling Stone's articles.
@@fridaylong2812 Um sorry, it was a Beatles song on their white album. Harrison wrote it but released as a Beatles song. Eric Clapton played the guitar solo on the original track.
I remember when Prince performed at the Super Bowl and the guys on sports talk radio stations here in Boston were blown away by Prince's guitar performance. They thought Prince sang pop songs. They had no idea Prince is one of the GOAT's of all time on the guitar. How cool would it have been if Prince had been one of the Traveling Wilbury's?
And, in the Super Bowl, he played Purple Rain --- outside! -- in *POURING RAIN* !! -- with an *ELECTRIC GUITAR* !!! (Did I mention the rain storm...?) 😳😱🤯
If you're gonna play that game, I can imagine him performing in a hard rock band. More in line with Jimi Hendrix, or Led Zeppelin. But he had his own vision.
Don't forget Prince played in a fucking thunderstorm of epic proportions....on a slick surface. It WAS and IS the BEST Stupid Bowl preformance of all time and ...unless something odd happens ....will NEVER EVER be topped.
Prince defo should've been part of a big band, he on his own went too weird and didn't capitalize on his talents enough imo. Shows here when he is working WITH other legends he can shine. Total legend and the most underrated guitarist of all time
Prince is a guitar god. RIP Tom and Prince. What a great performance, one of my favorites. It's a dark day when those talents leave us, but it makes us appreciate them even more. Thanks for watching this one!!
George, Tom, and Prince are all together now and those heavenly guitars are definitely jammin'. I've read that Tom said they didn't rehearse this with Prince. Prince talked to Tom, and just said, I'll do some guitar work, or words to that effect. And if you notice, as they play, Prince is constantly looking at Tom, getting a feel for where the song is going, putting in the licks where they fit, then as he sees Tom is wrapping it up, Prince gives it that huge finish. Prince shines here, but he's also part of the team, taking a great song and tribute, and making it absolutely unforgettable.
So George Harrison's son Dhani personally asked Prince to perform in this tribute to his dad at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. On the day of the performance Prince was late to the award ceremony. He hadn't rehearsed with the band. And the band actually went on stage without him. Prince literally showed up at the last minute and only just followed them on stage on the nick of time. Dhani Harrison however didn't even realise that Prince had made it. He only notices Prince is actually on stage with them halfway through the song at 2:03, when Dhani finally turns left and sees Prince. At 2:16 they catch eyes and smile. And at 3:35, Dhani Looks at Prince, nods at him to say "Go on, go for it!". Then Prince begins an absolute face melter which has since gone down as one of the best guitar solos in history.
the ultimate "drop mic" by Prince. Prince played like this on the Super Bowl halftime show too. Greatest halftime show ever. Many were shocked how fantastic he could play guitar. SO many did not expect this
There's a good video out there about his Super Bowl show. The stage manager was really worried about the rain...Prince said can you make it rain harder?
It was truly amazing to see your wife’s reaction to this. 19 years later, Prince fans like myself are still in absolute awe at this unbelievable performance. It is truly one of the greatest moments in rock history…period. I once heard that Prince had never heard the song until he was sent the DAT to learn it. It was actually Prince’s idea to perform last; the producers actually wanted him to go first, I believe, but because he’s PRINCE, of course he knew exactly what he wanted to achieve by giving the last solo. Did you notice that the color scheme of his outfit perfectly matched the backdrop of the stage? I’m quite sure that was no accident…he knew exactly what he was doing. I sat and listened to a panel of some of his engineers at Paisley Park a few years ago and his guitar engineer discussed this performance. He said Prince tossed him the guitar and told him to give it to Oprah as a gift. What else can be said? We will never ever see the likes of Prince again in our lifetime.
Prince is mostly known for his 80's style, but is underrated as a guitar player! I remember being in the Air Force in the early 90's and a friend let me borrow Prince's new cassette tape. I t didn't get much play on the radio, but I was blown away by the guitar work!
Love, love, love this song, this tribute, these legends. Thank you ALL for the music and being a part of our lives. Thank you for the reaction. Remember these solos TALK to you. " listen."
Prince had me crying like a baby, I can´t even explain it. So much emotion flowing through this music. What a blessing to be able to watch this. Thank you.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT I was surprised you didn't give a shout out to Jeff Lynne. I thought you liked ELO. Maybe I'm thinking of your wife. Jeff sang just as much in this performance as Petty did. Jeff and George Harrison were best friends for the last 15 years of George's life. Jeff resurrected George's career by producing and co-writing a hit album for him in the late '80s--which included a song you reacted to, "Got My Mind Set On You"--and they immediately became best mates (to use a British word). ps~Please react to more ELO! :)
Steve Winwood was the other guitar player up there. You should look at the song my sweet lord from the same "concert for george." Billy preston kills the vocals and on piano.
That's the thing - every single person on that stage is an absolute legend that could sell out an entire stadium tour for a solo show. And one little guy decided to take the opportunity that night to remind them all that even though he's had a quiet career, he still has more talent in each and every finger than any of them have ever had in their whole lives.
The sheer amount of legendary talent on that stage and then there’s Prince. He stole the whole show with that guitar solo. He changed his style up so many times right there at the end it’s incredible. But that’s Prince! RIP Tom Petty and Prince.
It’s such an amazing performance! Nobody puts Prince in the corner. He did steal the show!!The only problem with the double screen at times is that it doesn’t show Dhani Harrison’s face as much. Dhani is amazed, smiling from ear to ear as he watches and hears Prince play his dad’s best song so fantastically! He loves it! I love it! Glad you two love it!
The man was a musical genius. He played all of the instruments on most of his early albums. Wrote,sang,and produced played all the music on his albums. Wrote and collaborated with many other artists. There's only one PRINCE .
Yeah, Rolling Stone magazine f'd up and left him off their list (they later said he was supposed to be on it but the name got lost in the shuffle) of the Top 100 Guitarists. Rolling Stone editor was in the crowd. Prince made it his mission to let them know they goofed. Something the Prince friends would have already known (New Power people are called friends instead of fans because fan is short for fanatic).
No, U don't know? U didn't went live? I did, even after shows. He was the goat. And I knew it. So, shills all over my body. This guy was almost not human.
Tom Petty was so proud to be part of the "family" that was started by George Harrison (of The Beatles) and Jeff Lynne (of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)). The family became The Traveling Wilburys. On stage singing was Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, and the first amazing guitarist was Steve Winwood (a 70's and 80's legend) and, of course Dhani Harrison (George's son) on acoustic guitar.
Steve Winwood sometimes plays guitar, but he is playing organ on this cut. And let's not forget "Fifth Beatle" Billy Preston on piano, Steve Ferrone (originally from the Average White Band) on drums, and Jim Capaldi (of Traffic) on percussion. That's a band of rock legends right there, and Prince takes his rightful place among them.
I saw prince live in houston texas back in 2005. Amazing would be an understatement. I cry every time I see this at the loss of such a talented artist. 😢 rip prince. 💜💜💜
Prince puts on an absolute clinic here. I never realized how great of a guitarist he was until I watched this a couple years back. He definitely stole the show on a stage of very talented people.
This was an iconic performance by Prince. Some poetic fans said that Prince’s guitar never landed on earth-it’s floating in ether until the rock gods retrieved it and presented it to George Harrison. Great reaction.
Prince had a bit of an attitude for this recording due to being dissed as a guitar player by some media chump. Man was one of the best guitarist in the industry
Now that is SWAG! Wow, love that solo. Prince, man. What an incredible guitar GOD. Killing it. So cool, and dirty. That is how you do it. And still in tune with that great band. Man o man.
The young gentleman you see by Tom that was smiling with Prince before he began was George Harrison'e look alike son Dhani ( pronounced by himself as Danny ). I watched this live that night, I knew how close friends everyone on that stage was to George, and as an avid Beatles/George was my fave fan) trust when I say I went through more than one box of kleenex. Yes, Prince is who is so awesome in this and deserves the accolades 100%, but it was all so much much more...a group of friends who all knew each other coming together for their fellow brother.
Just phenomenal talent on stage. Prince stole the show. He was a extraordinary musician. Was underrated as a guitar player and could hold his own with most - his showmanship was off the charts.
I will confess that I never really payed much attention to Prince, but the first time I saw/heard this solo several years ago, I was floored. I defiantly gained a new appreciation from this performance.
I sometimes think the total package of Prince overshadowed the brilliant components of Prince. His voice, his songwriting, his dancing, his fashion, his ability to find and nurture talent, his ability as a producer, and, yes, his instrumental skills, particularly with the guitar. Any of those taken alone would be enough to nurture a career. With him, they sometimes end up subsumed by the totality of the supernova known as Prince.
The build up is everything. When showing this to someone new to it, you just want to say, "BUT WAIT!!!" What Prince could do with a guitar was genius and magical. Like he was born with it in hand. Thanks for the reaction!
You are right, musicianship is something that needs to be learned. Technology will never have anyone jamming like that! That was pure love of the game and craft. The G.O.A.T. Period!
Catchin a concussion from Prince throwin his Guitar while he did his walk off would still be like one of the top five things that could happen in life.
Old school metal fan here and I never ever even knew Prince knew how to play a guitar until I seen this video a while back.I couldn't believe he could shred like he did.Got to respect those abilities there.
I loved this performance, I saw it when it originally aired on tv. That was his way of telling the other guitarist on stage to "y'all stay on the porch,ill take care of it".....
Great reaction ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️! R.I.P. Prince ❤. And you are right , as time passes , a lot of people are going to miss out ! There is not a lot of people at all that have talent like this on todays music.
Rolling Stone magazine had just published it’s top 100 guitarists of all time. Prince didn’t make the list. And he was pissed. This epic solo should show you just how angry he was.
Glen Campbell didn't make it either. Go check his visit with all the country people as he does "Gentle on MY Mind' then says "I'll play one" and proceeds to play that guitar better than anyone coulda done. It was an AMAZING performance. Yeah . And he does a "william tell overture" as well that is mind blowing. But he aint a guitar player worthy of Rolling Stone. Rolling stone wouldn't know music if it got jammed up their ass.
The look between Tom Petty and Prince is so beautiful, they smile at each other. Tom was like "Do this for George". Tom was delighted and even smiling almost laughing, you have to remember that Prince was snubbed by Rolling Stones as a guitarist.
Was fortunate to see him live in 2014, depending on what reading you do on Prince but its pretty well documented he was proficient in playing 10-12 different instruments by the time he was a teen but guitar was his first love, Hendrix was a huge influence for him.
I love your reactions to this video. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has more swag while playing a guitar than Prince💜. I watched this performance too many times.
Prince was never seen as a guitar shredder but this performance opened up everyone's ears ..You could tell he liked the song and he put it all in for it..
Prince was sooooo underrated as a guitarist/musician. I read once that he played like 22 instruments WELL. Not just dabbled around with them, could play them well. A true legend. 💜
When I watch this performance, I think about life before recordings and how that if you didn't see it live, you just missed out, forever, that's all there was to see and hear back then, live performances. How lucky we are to have recordings! As amazing as this was though, imagine if you were there in the audience? I think I would probably be crying and screaming or maybe I'd pass out or something. And Prince, he yeeted that guitar to heaven, because he killed it.
One of my all-time favorite videos to watch. It makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. So much talent lost - Tom Petty, Prince. But hands down Prince was the man. A truly under - rated and gifted human being. There will never be another Prince. And yes, true talent is on the brink of extinction. Thanks for sharing and appreciating the music and the artistry behind it.
I was in line at a gas station once and heard two teenagers behind me say “there are no famous Black guitarists”. I’m in my fifties. I turned around and said “Prince!” A little louder than I meant to. I then told them about Jimi Hendrix and Sister Rosetta Thorpe.
Is Prince considered one of the greatest guitarist of all time?
In my opinion, yes.
Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Frank Zappa, Johnny Winter, nearly every blues guitarist are all probably better. Price is finitely underrated, just watch his video "concert" Sign O' the Times, I would compare that to Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same
He is great. Maybe under rated. There are better IMO.
YES! YES! YES! he plays 21 instruments and is a master of 19 of them according to documentary.......Supernatural talent, RIP PRINCE greatly missed! oh and by they way he did not rehearse this was on the fly they did not know what he was going to do.

A fabulous cover of this Beatles song from their white album. So much talent in one place on one song!! Omg!! Marvelous!!
It was a George Harrison song, not a Beatles song.
@@fridaylong2812 Um sorry, it was a Beatles song on their white album. Harrison wrote it but released as a Beatles song. Eric Clapton played the guitar solo on the original track.
Peter Frampton did the best version of this. I am almost positive ya never heard of him.

@@fridaylong2812 it was George's greatest contribution to the Beatle library ..

This whole thing was in honor of George Harrison, who had passed from cancer. He wrote and performed this song before he died.
The young man with the black hair and dark shirt, to the left of Tom Petty, is George Harrison's son.
Prince and George Harrison - the Beatle who wrote this song were both being inducted into the Hall of Fame that night.
Prince made love to that guitar. What an EPIC performance! This video never gets old. Prince is the GOAT!
A TRUE GENIUS!!!!!
Legend says that the guitar gave birth to 2 little guitars after 9 months.
Prince definitely was a badass guitar player. I’ve watched this video several times over the years and his solo is just awesome
Yes, he was. He killed 🎸 it on this video💜.

First guy doing the solo thought he was tearing it up..Prince stepped up and said "Class is in session!"
Absolutely my most favorite version of this song. God bless Prince and his beautiful spirit. AMAZING 🤘🤘🤘🤘

That's a band of rock legends right there, and Prince takes his rightful place among them.
@montalbans I think I remember seeing Winwood play sax, guitar, keyboard and sing in 1 song
Prince was a super confident performer because he KNEW the incredible talent he possessed,he makes it look easy.

Prince best ever and man his in middle of night concerts when hit up at Paisley always worth staying up to go to. We miss him everyday here in MN
This was an iconic performance by Prince. Some poetic fans said that Prince’s guitar never landed on earth-it’s floating in ether until the rock gods retrieved it and presented it to George Harrison. Great reaction.
I could watch Prince play the guitar all day. No one is cooler on the guitar than Prince. Awesome
Prince’s level of talent is astounding
There were 3 Legends on that stage, and 1 LLEEGGEENNDDDD!!! 👑 🎸
This is from the Tribute to George (one yr after the passing of George Harrison)...Prince really kicked it up a notch with his fine solo...
It was actually from the Rock and roll hall of Fame induction ceremony. Both George and Prince were inducted that night.
yeah. just perfect. perfect crew, perfect stage. perfect song.
and Prince... I have no words.
RIP little Prince. And George. Thank you.
Prince had a bit of an attitude for this recording due to being dissed as a guitar player by some media chump. Man was one of the best guitarist in the industry
Now that is SWAG! Wow, love that solo. Prince, man. What an incredible guitar GOD. Killing it. So cool, and dirty. That is how you do it. And still in tune with that great band. Man o man.
The young gentleman you see by Tom that was smiling with Prince before he began was George Harrison'e look alike son Dhani ( pronounced by himself as Danny ). I watched this live that night, I knew how close friends everyone on that stage was to George, and as an avid Beatles/George was my fave fan) trust when I say I went through more than one box of kleenex. Yes, Prince is who is so awesome in this and deserves the accolades 100%, but it was all so much much more...a group of friends who all knew each other coming together for their fellow brother.
Yep
Just phenomenal talent on stage. Prince stole the show. He was a extraordinary musician. Was underrated as a guitar player and could hold his own with most - his showmanship was off the charts.
Talent, style, stage performance. Prince was the whole package.
I will confess that I never really payed much attention to Prince, but the first time I saw/heard this solo several years ago, I was floored. I defiantly gained a new appreciation from this performance.
I sometimes think the total package of Prince overshadowed the brilliant components of Prince. His voice, his songwriting, his dancing, his fashion, his ability to find and nurture talent, his ability as a producer, and, yes, his instrumental skills, particularly with the guitar. Any of those taken alone would be enough to nurture a career. With him, they sometimes end up subsumed by the totality of the supernova known as Prince.
The build up is everything. When showing this to someone new to it, you just want to say, "BUT WAIT!!!" What Prince could do with a guitar was genius and magical. Like he was born with it in hand. Thanks for the reaction!
The talent on the stage that day was legendary.
Must have seen this about 80 times lol, can't stop watching it. It's beautiful.
You are right, musicianship is something that needs to be learned. Technology will never have anyone jamming like that! That was pure love of the game and craft. The G.O.A.T. Period!
Widely thought of as ONE OF THE BEST SOLO PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME..
One of the greatest songs ever. And then Prince drops by. O.M.G. RIP PRINCE. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dhani Harrison smiling in awe at Prince
Great performance by all, indeed... However Prince runs completely away with it and rips it to shreds. 😆
Purple Reign forever!! 💜💜
Catchin a concussion from Prince throwin his Guitar while he did his walk off would still be like one of the top five things that could happen in life.
Old school metal fan here and I never ever even knew Prince knew how to play a guitar until I seen this video a while back.I couldn't believe he could shred like he did.Got to respect those abilities there.
I loved this performance, I saw it when it originally aired on tv. That was his way of telling the other guitarist on stage to "y'all stay on the porch,ill take care of it".....
Great reaction ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️! R.I.P. Prince ❤. And you are right , as time passes , a lot of people are going to miss out ! There is not a lot of people at all that have talent like this on todays music.
Prince was just so creative. I love all his music 💜
Rolling Stone magazine had just published it’s top 100 guitarists of all time. Prince didn’t make the list. And he was pissed. This epic solo should show you just how angry he was.
Was gonna say that. Rolling Stone dumped on Zeppelin too…
Rolling Stone - full of crap as usual. RRHOF hates Kansas and Jethro Tull as well.
I heard he didn't show up for practice either.
@@kens32052 he didn't need to. He was truly just that talented.
Glen Campbell didn't make it either. Go check his visit with all the country people as he does "Gentle on MY Mind' then says "I'll play one" and proceeds to play that guitar better than anyone coulda done. It was an AMAZING performance. Yeah . And he does a "william tell overture" as well that is mind blowing. But he aint a guitar player worthy of Rolling Stone. Rolling stone wouldn't know music if it got jammed up their ass.
The look between Tom Petty and Prince is so beautiful, they smile at each other. Tom was like "Do this for George". Tom was delighted and even smiling almost laughing, you have to remember that Prince was snubbed by Rolling Stones as a guitarist.
Was fortunate to see him live in 2014, depending on what reading you do on Prince but its pretty well documented he was proficient in playing 10-12 different instruments by the time he was a teen but guitar was his first love, Hendrix was a huge influence for him.
I love your reactions to this video. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has more swag while playing a guitar than Prince💜. I watched this performance too many times.
Prince was never seen as a guitar shredder but this performance opened up everyone's ears ..You could tell he liked the song and he put it all in for it..
Well, Prince fans knew.
Still watch this at least twice a week. Still get goose bumps every time! Amazing talent on that stage, just amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
RnR Hall of Fame ceremonies can be mind blowing. Geniuses and poets everywhere 👍🏼🍻
So glad I ran across this!! An old favorite!!!! 😍
You really should do Prince ...Play that funky music (live).. awesome cover
I go nuts every time I watch this!!! I've always loved to hear musicians go ape crazy and use their gifts!!!!
RIP George, Tom, and Prince. This was just a small glimpse into the talent of Prince, he was amazing!
He was playing so many instruments. A genius .This solo guitar is absolutly ...i have no word .RIP the kid of Cincinnati 😩
Prince was sooooo underrated as a guitarist/musician. I read once that he played like 22 instruments WELL. Not just dabbled around with them, could play them well. A true legend. 💜
that was by design
When I watch this performance, I think about life before recordings and how that if you didn't see it live, you just missed out, forever, that's all there was to see and hear back then, live performances. How lucky we are to have recordings! As amazing as this was though, imagine if you were there in the audience? I think I would probably be crying and screaming or maybe I'd pass out or something. And Prince, he yeeted that guitar to heaven, because he killed it.
Prince, one of the greatest guitar players, muscians and performers of all time.
One of my all-time favorite videos to watch. It makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. So much talent lost - Tom Petty, Prince. But hands down Prince was the man. A truly under - rated and gifted human being. There will never be another Prince.
And yes, true talent is on the brink of extinction. Thanks for sharing and appreciating the music and the artistry behind it.
This also one of my favorite videos! Another transcendental video is Jimi Hendrix doing "Johnny B. Goode"!
I was in line at a gas station once and heard two teenagers behind me say “there are no famous Black guitarists”. I’m in my fifties. I turned around and said “Prince!” A little louder than I meant to. I then told them about Jimi Hendrix and Sister Rosetta Thorpe.
Mic drop!!! I just love that Prince cracks himself up!! RIP my friend 💜💜💜
Prince was known as one the best session guitarists on the planet.
Watched that about 15 times now , never gets old.
Love this song, and this performance, my favorite is also seeing George Harrison's playing with the guys. He's definitely his fathers son.❤❤❤
Dhani Harrison would be the one playing with the guys, George Harrison's son.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Love these guys!!!!💗
Man I watch this performance over and over again just to see Princes part !!!!!
