being from Scotland I had a massive drive to reach Glastonbury, left my friends to go to bed on the first night, thought I'd pace myself as it was going to be a long weekend, walked past this tent, got drawn in, was there for whole gig, bought a cd to commerate it and was last back to the tent of all my friends. Sensational night, Ainsley is a genious!
Love it, we caught Ainsley in this late night session at Glasto - what a gem!! great stage presence and plays with such feeling.... i think the highlight of the festival for me!!
left my friends to get an early night after an all day drive thinking I'd pace myself since it would be a long weekend. Wandered past this tent, was drawn like a sailor to a siren by the wailing guitar, ended up in the front row going mental then being last back at the tent, after worrying all my friends and buying a cd enroute (which is till cherised). Been to so manygigs I can never say which is my favourite, but this is my most pleasant surprise (Passion Pit at the same event is a close 2nd)
i've seen Aynsley once and i'm gonna be seeing him in Bristol at the end of August, so really excited for that. He's got a true talent in the industry and I've come to really look up to him. :)
When you hit the solo I was like yeah let's do this... But you killed it for me, left me bored till it got louder. That songs about power and passion.. Solo should have expressed that straight away.
@darkmetallica The camera is a Panasonic TZ7 (ZS3 in the US). I uploaded the M2TS camera file without any alteration or editing and let TH-cam convert it - to get the best quality. It took about 4 hours to upload :-)
@CherryBurstLesPaul Take your point, I really don't rate those guys very highly myself - but if I told you my fave players are EVH, Paul Gilbert and Slash it might say more about my own tastes rather than the quality of their playing!
can i ask what camera you used? it's amazing, love aynsley seen him twice now, once without his band and once with... completely different animal without his band, loved it, love him with his band too though of course
It would have been rad if someone else did the solo. This kid is REALLY good at riffing and soloing through the whole song, but as far as an all out guitar solo, it would have been cool for him to maybe get in with the crowd a bit and take the chance to do a simple rhythm! Maybe the keyboardest do a huge solo or someone else comes out. Doing a solo in Purple Rain you gotta put your whole being and emotion into it! Really good cover.
Nice cover! Now let’s hear some original songs. You can’t base a career on covers. The lead guy has a nice clean voice. There’s no reason they can’t make original music. Prince did it, so can you. 🎸💥🔥😎
Soulful yes, but where was the power and passion in the solo? I was expecting some SRV style soloing. Quite clearly the guy can play but that solo for the first 3 minutes was dog's doo.
+Carl Jones I saw during this 3 min solo a mix between mark knopler, david gilmour and john mayer, he's just not fast enought, but he play good notes at the good time, sorry for my english.
My favorite cover of Purple Rain. WOW.
The man is a blues treasure! Love his stuff.
I thank you i love this song

Soulful and Kickin' like nobody but Aynsley can! Love it!
Well done! The emotion of the song was captured very well.
Aynsley Just Perfect Thank you 💙 Rest in Peace Prince 🖤💙
Nice blues licks at the solo part, bringing it down nice and easy on the Groove then 💥 ! Nice closing-great performance
I have heard alot of covers of PURPLE RAIN.. but DAM this one is the best i've heard!!!!
Heard this guy about 12 years ago when he was really young and he blew me away. Lost track of him till now. Great to here him again.
Great video from an exceptional night - thanks for posting!
Saw the band perform at the Black Horse Music Festival in 2010 a few months earlier - been a fan of AYNSLEY ever since !!
Fantastic, Wish I could have been there.
one of those songs you just do not mess with, but if you are going to mess with it do it in this fashion. excellent
Love it, we caught Ainsley in this late night session at Glasto - what a gem!! great stage presence and plays with such feeling.... i think the highlight of the festival for me!!
got to love a man that plays a pink stratocaster
Amazing! Heard this playing in the pub a few weeks back and instantly recognised it. Can't wait to see Aynsley live this year for the first time.
Absolutely the best cover I have ever heard live....Price should have sold that song long ago..You guys are actually as good as he did it!!
Aynsley and his band are one of the UK's brightest hopes. Get to see them whenever you can!

Went to see ALB a couple of years back. I've seen a gazillion bands and great guitar players. They blew me away.
I love the bliss on Aynsley's and his bassist's faces.
i've seen Aynsley once and i'm gonna be seeing him in Bristol at the end of August, so really excited for that. He's got a true talent in the industry and I've come to really look up to him. :)
I hope this young fellow is having great success. I love his rendition of this Prince classic.
What a talent!

RIP prince
@BadlyDoneEmma
cool, thankyou
He recorded this over 20 years ago…..Tower Sessions
@Tripsybon Only a couple of short clips of Aynsley. I wish I had taken more...
2019

@trapdoortraveller
You're right! It must be down to the vodka...
Nice, I dig it! And your bassits is using a GK + Ampeg combination like me! Awesome! Is that a GK 700RB-II? Love the tone.
It would have been rad if someone else did the solo. This kid is REALLY good at riffing and soloing through the whole song, but as far as an all out guitar solo, it would have been cool for him to maybe get in with the crowd a bit and take the chance to do a simple rhythm!

Rip prince

prince shoulg b proud. this shit is dead on
very soulful... Bonamassa-ish in some ways but without the speedy flourishes. :-)
Its a shame such an amazing performance has to be greeted by a crowd with the usual idiots talking and screaming at nothing, just to be heard.
@pboybad What about Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore? Alright, Aynsley is pretty good! :D
is this guy signed by a label?
So much better then Prince.
4:23
🤓🥴😔😟🙁 4:37 🎉🎉
the bass player looks like guy from the promices
guy ? glasses ?
Nice cover! Now let’s hear some original songs. You can’t base a career on covers. The lead guy has a nice clean voice. There’s no reason they can’t make original music. Prince did it, so can you. 🎸💥🔥😎
***schmacht***
arrepiou
messed up the first lirycs wtf
At least get the lyrics right
No band should ever attemp this no matter how good they are. Sorry.
Soulful yes, but where was the power and passion in the solo? I was expecting some SRV style soloing. Quite clearly the guy can play but that solo for the first 3 minutes was dog's doo.
