RARE EARTH "I know I'm Losing You" ...........Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members. "Get Ready" is also a good tune, but I really like this one. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Healey - 'Look At Little Sister' (been awhile since you did any SRV tunes......Jeff Healey plays a mean guitar for a blind dude)
Marc Mann, of Lynne's band play's the first guitar solos. Steve Winwood Yamaha organ( is as good on guitar), Billy Preston on piano. Think drums and percussion is from Petty's band. Prince had free hands to play how he wanted! Spectacular!! Try out Winwood/ Clapton in Hendrix "Little wing" Live around ten years ago! Winwood on Yamaha lifts it!!
Prince has someone in his crew~he does that disappearing guitar into thin air move often. He has his guy positioned UP in those rafters that are above him on the stage when he's playing. He throws his guitar up and his guy catches it for him. 😉❤😎
@@RayRay-zt7bj This is actually from George's induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, in 2004. The Concert for George is indeed fabulous! It was held in Nov. 2002, a year after George's passing.
@@kendeeni 😮Oh, okay. I must have missed that induction because I really didn't remember Prince playing on this song in the 2002 show. I do remember most of the other musicians being at that event.
Fun fact about this solo is Prince didn't even rehearse it, he basically just showed up to the gig and told the producers don't worry it'll be fine. And came out and did that.
I think Prince was motivated by having been left off a recent Rolling Stone Magazine list of best guitarists. Great performance by all whatever the story really is.
This performance was right after Prince was left out of Rolling Stone's list of greatest guitarists, and he wanted to make a point. At the end he threw his guitar to one of the roadies.
Absolutely! he was the best! First time I saw him on mtv in the 80s l was flabbergasted, there will never be anyone like him, R. I. P. We miss you terribly. Just just like when someone asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the best guitar player in the world? he said I don't know why don't you ask Prince.. hell of a singer too.. 🎸🎶
I watch this at least once a month. People don’t realize that Prince is one of the greatest guitarist because he is so talented with everything. Sadly, they are reforming this jam group in heaven. Thanks for sharing!
I live 5 miles from Paisley Park and have always liked Prince, especially his 80s material, he was a great musician. However, after he passed all of these people online are saying he was one of the greatest guitar players ever.... this is just not true, in reality he wouldn't even be in the top 100. I have played for over 30 years and have respect for all guitar players.... Prince was good, but there are many guitar players out there with better phrasing and technical ability. I'm sure I will get hate for being honest but it is what it is.
@@marievaleur7877 He was so fucking happy! Through the whole song, but especially when Prince came on... a beautiful tribute to his father by awesome musicians... and he got to play it too... it warms my heart....
You must check out Stvie Winood who did the vocals on Keep on Running by Spencer Davis Babd, the Hole in My Shoe by Traffic and latterly Bsck in the High life again under his own name plus many more He kept changing bands !
I wish so many more people would have recognized how multi- talented Prince was- he taught himself to play soooo many instruments- yes.. he definitely could dance & get down the funk and groovy music that a lot of his songs are- however, he could play anything, and with the best, as demonstrated here! RIP to the greats- 🙌🏻❤️✌️✨
I agree 💯 I think he along with Stevie Wonder were the most multi-talented musicians of all-time, as far as singing, playing instruments & songwriting.
It's sad that both Tom Petty and Prince died the same way. They both took fentanyl for pain and it killed them. What a loss of talent. R.I.P Tom & Prince
@@buckeyeman7631 that's right and Tom Petty took it knowing it was Fentanyl but he didn't think he was taking that much. He had back aches so bad he just wanted relief.
Both Prince and Tom needed hip replacements. There is no pain like a broken/worn-out hip. You can’t walk or stand without pain. If you’re sitting or lying down, it hurts to move your leg the wrong way, cough, or sneeze. I get why they took opioids. So sad, and so unnecessary.
@@sarahzentexas that is so sad especially since it was accidental for both of them. I read where Tom Petty would come home from a gig in so much agony. In fact the night he died he just came home from a concert at the Hollywood Bowl
I get it...I’ve been dealing with chronic pain in my back, hips, knees for 13 years. I use every non-opioid treatment I can find. When it gets really bad (waking up screaming tends to freak out the kids) I get steroid injections and a tiny bit of norco or Tylenol 2/3.
“Prince is a magician.” Yes. Yes, he is. In an amazing tribute with filled with musical icons the best part is Prince melting everyone’s faces off at the end!!!
Prince was a magician. The guitar is in heaven with him R.I.P. just came before him., you saw the smile on George Harrisson’s son when Prince played! Superb performance
Thats EXACTLY what I was gonna comment. Most miss the ear-to-ear smile on Dhani's face when Prince goes off. You can't hide genuine appreciation for greatness!!!
@@caramelcake007 I was gonna say that because he sure did and after he died 2 top it all off disgraceful as if he didn't see the look on his face that night
In the end, Prince threw his guitar up to George Harrison to play for the angels. That guitar didn't need to be played on earth anymore. It served its earthly purpose in that song.
Robert Reichle one of his albums he did the entire album himself, Arc of a Diver, I believe. I didn’t know he could play guitar until I saw Clapton’s Crossroads concert. He was tearing it up. I was amazed.
Tribute to George, Marc played like George did, then Prince just showed off and didn't care about the song. Yes, Prince was a great guitar player, but how he acked made the other players that loved George upset...but of course all the young ones that watch this just think "wow, Prince took over'...which is wrong in the world now..just thinking of themselves.
@@bruinbro23 Anyone who doesn't love Prince's embellishment on the solo is just a bunch of sour grapes. Prince does his best when conveying emotions through his guitar and music. That IS one of his main strengths or gifts. Steve Ferrone the drummer for this performance walked over to Prince and introduced himself at rehearsal. To which Prince says I know who you are. Steve goes back to his drum set to warm up and he hears a guitar riff from a song that Steve wrote for the Average White Band. Prince is looking right at Steve. Steve thinks, Prince knows who I am. FYI Prince and Tom were friends; they both admired each others musical talents.
Tom was NOT annoyed with Prince. Tom was interviewed afterword and was blown away by Prince's performance (according to Tom's words). Tom and Prince were friends and spoke a few times a year by phone.
@@jjjones8609 I don't think there's hardly a performing musician alive who would be annoyed at getting to back an iconic Prince solo at an iconic event like George's memorial. I've heard people rip on Prince for shredding it and doing his Prince-y showboating at this somber song, but come on. You didn't ask Prince to come play to have him standing up straight and playing straight too. How many people have seen this recording now because he completely killed it!
I think Tom was a little gobsmacked at first. He was used to playing with Mike Campbell, who can play anything but is usually pretty restrained when he does and Prince was anything but restrained here. Not mad at Prince, just not used to this kind of performance.
In a related note, however you slice it, Prince had a wide range of talents in the world-class level. Writer, guitarist, singer, pianist, and more than capable of playing almost any other instrument that fit his music style. Arguably the most talented performer of our lifetimes.
So happy you guys younger generation found Prince. He is a musician and he IS MUSIC. In the middle of this stage he re-started the song and stole the stage.
Prince was so damn talented in every aspect of music and entertaining that some people don't know he was a virtuoso on the guitar. And it's not just what he plays, but how he plays it. Like the instrument becomes a part of him, dancing and making love to it. This is an epic performance for the ages!
yu are right, this is one of my fav prince performances.....he is like 1 with that guitar, nad how he "plays around" he is having the time of his life...you can tell. Been a fan since I was 9 I'm in my 40's now!
His best guitar work was in the after shows. Unfortunately there are no videos but plenty of audios. My personal favorite is when he covered The Temptations Just My Imagination which is on TH-cam.
Great Tribute to George Harrison by his friends. I believe it was at George's posthumus induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Prince does an amazing solo!
Steve Winwood is playing the organ and Jeff Lynn is the singer with the black hair and sunglasses. He is with Electric Light orchestra. Tom Petty with the long white hair playing guitar.
Yeah, that stage was filled with legends sounding AMAZING, then Prince shows up and says, "Hold my beer!" I was holding my breath to see your response at the end when the Purple One threw his guitar in the air! Fricking AWESOME!
Prince always knows how to dominate a performance even when he's not the only legend on the stage. This is a Beatles song written by George Harrison who passed in 2001. That's his son Dhani behind Tom Petty, looking very much like his daddy! Steve Winwood had some GREAT songs! Among them, "Higher Love" "When You See A Chance" "Roll With It" "Valerie" And MANY others. I always liked Steve Winwood he had many hits!
🌟 I love it whenever 👁 get the chance to hear Prince 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️😘🥰😍 💜💜 it just heartbreaking to know he’s no longer here with in body but in body in spirit. Spread your wings and shine ur beautiful light from heaven ✝️ for us ♊♊ ❤️💜☮️ Peace 🕊️ love 💜and light 🕊️
yes, i read the guy on guitar(don't even know his name) didn't think prince belonged on the stage with rockers, and tried to hog the guitar solos. prince told the producer let the other guy have the first solo, and he'd take the last one. HISTORY
Christopher O No, you clearly don’t know what Steve Winwood even looks like. He’s on organ. The guy playing lead guitar in the hat is Marc Mann. observer.com/2017/04/prince-guitar-solo-while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-performance/
Actually, they rehearsed it the night before (Prince really didn't do anything, so the back ground guitarist did everything.) They stopped the rehearsal and asked if Prince was okay. He said yes, they perform the song 1 more time and the same thing happened, the background guitarist did all the heavy work. Every thing you see in this live performance was new to everyone except Prince. I think the lame rehearsal was a ploy from Prince. If he gave the performance that he did during the taping at the rehearsal, it wouldn't have been as exciting. Not to mention they might have told him to tone it down. Prince was a smart performer.
@@jjjones8609 yes they rehearsed twice and Prince let the other guitarist perform the solos. It wasn't until the day of the show that they decided to let Prince do the end guitar solo. No one knew what he was going to do since he didn't practice his solo
The entire concert for George is amazing (my dog is named Harrison if you want to know my commitment level to that man). But this performance is legendary. Prince seriously underrated guitarist. 💜 This hurts my heart to watch though after losing Prince and Tom back to back. I cried real tears for both those men, and my teenage boys had to console me.
This is not from the Concert For George. That was Eric Clapton with the band, who plays it the way it's supposed to sound. Eric gets it, Prince doesn't.
This one is epic! I've shared this one around because of Prince's famous guitar solo. His guitar virtuosity is overlooked by many. That is George Harrison's son, Dhani, on Tom Petty's left, our right, with those legends!
@@JayveeTV Try some Travelling Wilburys The ultimate supergroup Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. also if you didn't know Jeff Lynne has written and produced for the Beatles together and separately, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Duane Eddy and more
Prince was an amazing guitarist. I never understood how anyone could overlook his brilliance. It's sad that his death finally gave him the recognition he so richly deserved while he was still with us.
Prince is THE MASTER! If you never got to go to a Prince concert (I went to several), you missed out. NO body does it better than him! Steve Winwood, check out Higher Love w/Chaka Khan. Great song!
So much greatness on that stage! We old school prince/music fans already know, but prince does not get enough credit for his amazing skills with the guitar.
Oh man Prince is about to give it to ya. Can't wait to see how you react. I'm old enough to know what he can do to a guitar. There are a whole bunch of 80's baby guitars out there that look great in purple.
Wow! It's been a few years since I watched this but never to forget how amazing a tribute this was for George. Prince just stole the show at the end. If he went back in time to 1955 he would put Marty McFly to shame!
Great reaction. It is an amazing perfomance isn't it? Am a little perplexed by people who didn't know he could play like this. Have been a fan since the early eighties and, you know, the records kind of speak for themselves. Either way, glad to see some people finally getting the Prince thing. He was a genius. Just like the Beatles he was one of those gifts the universe decides to send us once in a while.
THIS is one of my favorite performances!! Prince’s guitar solo still gives me goosebumps. I could listen to this over and over. By the way, Prince plays every instrument that there is and he is self taught. The man was a genius.
I listen to this at least once a month!!! I love it!!! I can't believe Tom Petty and Prince are gone.....Love Petty --and Roy Orbison! Watching again!!!
Prince's "guitar tech" caught the his guitar. That particular guitar is named "Mad Cat" believe it or not he got it from a guy selling it at a gas station for next to nothing. Ya see, they were on their way to a gig when Prince realized he forgot his guitar they were to far to turn back & get it, so when they pulled over to get some gas, he saw a guy selling a bunch of stuff in the gas station parking lot. The rest as they say, is history. This performance was from the night that Prince was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame! Prince=GOAT!! 💜☔💜☔💜☔💜☔
Higher Love ft Chaka Khan in the background vocals , just recently redone by some DJ ( Kygo I think his name is ) with the late Whitney Houston on vocals .
Don't you just love how the Purple one 💜 walks out, completely kills it, throws the guitar like.....nothing more to do here. Watch my smoke.....y'all. Miss you Prince and Tom Petty!
Prince ate this guitar solo up 🔥You rarely hear him mentioned for his guitar playing prowess...underrated for sure. This a great collaborative performance 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That is Steve Winwood. You need to check out his solo stuff from late 70s early 80s. "Higher Love", "While You See A Chance", "Freedom Overspill", "roll With It", "Valerie",
This ENTIRE LINE UP WAS SPECTACULAR!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL INDEPENDENTLY...TRUE MUSICIANS LOVE THEIR CRAFT AND ARE EXTRAORDINARY!!! PRINCE WAS A BEAST!!!! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
You could only really appreciate this after having listened to all you have listened to on your musical journey. I didn't know Prince was such a great rock guitarist, I regret that I overlooked his talent. What a moment in rock history with all these greats!
Piano-Billy Preston / Organ-Steve Winwood / Guitars left to right / Marc Mann Jeff Lynne (ELO) Tom Petty Dhani Harrison-(George Harrison's son) electric guitar Prince Scott Thurston (bass) Steve Ferrone (drums)
Love the Prince guitar solo on this one! I come here from Jamal's channel, first time I'm watching one of your videos, enjoy! and PS you just earned a new sub from me. I look forward to seeing more of what you do man.
‘Prince is a magician’. I can not count the number of times I have watched this video. It’s my happy place. The talent on that stage was epic. Including the man they were honouring.
This is one of my all time favorite jams. An all-star line up for a band, with Prince showing off one of his best talents. Hes such an awesome showman, and makes it look like its effortless. I also love your reaction to it. Its always great to see perfection appreciated. His man in front of the stage caught the guitar. You can see Prince glance downwards to make sure he caught it ok. Since I had never seen a Prince show live, I never really knew of his guitar talents until I heard the song "Lets go crazy" when it came out, and the guitar work in that song, plus the sweet solo at the end, sure caught my attention, like its catching yours now.
One of Prince’s backing musicians says Prince would be listening to them working out riffs, then he would come in, take whatever instrument you were playing, play it better than you and show you what he wanted.
This is a Beatles song by George Harrison , George Harrison's son Dhani Harrison ( pronounced Danny but with a slight 'H' sound after the " D" in his name is the young guy on guitar next to Tom Petty , Steve Winwood is on piano Frizzy/ curly hair guy with glasses is Jeff Lynn .The guy doing the guitar solo is a guitar player in Electric Light Orchestra ( E.L.O . ) with Jeff Lynn ( forgot the guys name sorry )
Steve winwood was in a band called "traffic" and had a few hits like "dear mr. Fantasy" , he was in the "Spencer davis group" when he was real young and wrote a hit called "Gimme some loving". Later in his solo career he had the hit "higher love". Those 3 songs are real good representations of him that you should really enjoy. Deeper track is "john barleycorn must die" if you wanna go off the beaten path. Now in regards to this video: Covers dont always sound good, but this was fantastic. Vocals were excellent, prince knows how to throw down hard ! Seen it before but its worth seeing more than once !
I watch this video often, it is one of the few i have saved. One of the things I love is that these legends of rock are jamming away and then Prince steps up and puts on a master class of guitar work. It has been said of this video that at the end of the song, Prince threw his guitar into the heavens where it remained waiting for him until his passing. It is remarkable that so many people never realized how phenomenal Prince was on guitar - he makes it look so easy.

Prince was so damn talented in every aspect of music and entertaining that some people don't know he was a virtuoso on the guitar. And it's not just what he plays, but how he plays it. Like the instrument becomes a part of him, dancing and making love to it. This is an epic performance for the ages!
yu are right, this is one of my fav prince performances.....he is like 1 with that guitar, nad how he "plays around" he is having the time of his life...you can tell. Been a fan since I was 9 I'm in my 40's now!
@@DemiGod520 He totally stole the show. I'm 63 so I've been a fan a long time!
I can tell he was misunderstood. I bet he had such a hard life because of this.
When this aired I just sat on my couch sobbing, both for George and in wonder at the greatness of this performance.
...and the respect...
I wish Prince would have shown off his guitar skills a little more than he did in his career. When you can play like that, people need to see it.
the superbowl.... Why you wanna treat me so bad (first album), Alphabet St, Lovesexy, Red House, purple version....
His best guitar work was in the after shows. Unfortunately there are no videos but plenty of audios. My personal favorite is when he covered The Temptations Just My Imagination which is on TH-cam.
They began to ignore Prince after he became independent and stopped mentioning him commercially. The price you pay for standing up for what’s right
we all cried when Prince passed away in 2016.
Great Tribute to George Harrison by his friends. I believe it was at George's posthumus induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Prince does an amazing solo!
Steve Winwood is playing the organ and Jeff Lynn is the singer with the black hair and sunglasses. He is with Electric Light orchestra. Tom Petty with the long white hair playing guitar.
Yeah, that stage was filled with legends sounding AMAZING, then Prince shows up and says, "Hold my beer!" I was holding my breath to see your response at the end when the Purple One threw his guitar in the air! Fricking AWESOME!
Prince is an amazing guitar player. Prince fans know this. Not many other people do
Prince was always under appreciated for his guitar playing.....imo he was one of the best out there 🤷. This was such a awesome collab 💗💗
Which is why he was the G O A T!
Prince always knows how to dominate a performance even when he's not the only legend on the stage. This is a Beatles song written by George Harrison who passed in 2001. That's his son Dhani behind Tom Petty, looking very much like his daddy!
Steve Winwood had some GREAT songs! Among them,
"Higher Love"
"When You See A Chance"
"Roll With It"
"Valerie"
And MANY others.
I always liked Steve Winwood he had many hits!
🌟 I love it whenever 👁 get the chance to hear Prince 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️😘🥰😍 💜💜 it just heartbreaking to know he’s no longer here with in body but in body in spirit. Spread your wings and shine ur beautiful light from heaven ✝️ for us ♊♊ ❤️💜☮️ Peace 🕊️ love 💜and light 🕊️
Low spark of high heeled boys
Steve winwood is on organ.
yes, i read the guy on guitar(don't even know his name) didn't think prince belonged on the stage with rockers, and tried to hog the guitar solos. prince told the producer let the other guy have the first solo, and he'd take the last one. HISTORY
Steve Winwood, is on the lead guitar, the guy on the organ(don't know his name) is one of the Beach Boys members.
Christopher O No, you clearly don’t know what Steve Winwood even looks like. He’s on organ. The guy playing lead guitar in the hat is Marc Mann.

And apparently prince did that with no rehearsal. Just showed up
I absolutely believe it!
Actually, they rehearsed it the night before (Prince really didn't do anything, so the back ground guitarist did everything.) They stopped the rehearsal and asked if Prince was okay. He said yes, they perform the song 1 more time and the same thing happened, the background guitarist did all the heavy work. Every thing you see in this live performance was new to everyone except Prince. I think the lame rehearsal was a ploy from Prince. If he gave the performance that he did during the taping at the rehearsal, it wouldn't have been as exciting. Not to mention they might have told him to tone it down. Prince was a smart performer.
@@jjjones8609 Yeah, that's what I meant in that they didn't know what he was gonna do haha
@@jjjones8609 yes they rehearsed twice and Prince let the other guitarist perform the solos. It wasn't until the day of the show that they decided to let Prince do the end guitar solo. No one knew what he was going to do since he didn't practice his solo
@@yousexymf With them. I assure you Prince knew what he was going to do before he hit the stage.
Yes Yes Yes! So glad you reviewed this! Have you EVER seen anything cooler than Prince throwing that guitar in the air and strutting off? EPIC!
💟💟💟💟
Prince was once in a lifetime artist, pure genius.
Steve Winwood is on the keyboard, y'all.
Stevie doesn’t play guitar, listen to Traffic!
RIP Prince. The greatest musician ever!
The entire concert for George is amazing (my dog is named Harrison if you want to know my commitment level to that man). But this performance is legendary. Prince seriously underrated guitarist. 💜 This hurts my heart to watch though after losing Prince and Tom back to back. I cried real tears for both those men, and my teenage boys had to console me.
I'm still in mourning for both of them. I think I'm in disbelief. 💜💔💜
@@cici7333 and George. :( :( :(
This is not from the Concert For George. That was Eric Clapton with the band, who plays it the way it's supposed to sound. Eric gets it, Prince doesn't.
I agree with you -- the Concert for George is amazing.
This one is epic! I've shared this one around because of Prince's famous guitar solo. His guitar virtuosity is overlooked by many. That is George Harrison's son, Dhani, on Tom Petty's left, our right, with those legends!
Karen Jay did do a reaction video to one of their songs a few months ago -- I think it was Handle with Care!
@@monica11760 Awesome! Thanks!
Maybe you remember who Jeff Lynne is, but just to remind you - he's the lead singer from Electric Light Orchestra (EL0).
I knew it was jeff lol I cannot forget
@@JayveeTV Try some Travelling Wilburys The ultimate supergroup Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. also if you didn't know Jeff Lynne has written and produced for the Beatles together and separately, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Duane Eddy and more
Prince was an amazing guitarist. I never understood how anyone could overlook his brilliance. It's sad that his death finally gave him the recognition he so richly deserved while he was still with us.
While I was watching you watch this video I kept thinking to myself oh, oh my friend you just get ready
Prince is THE MASTER! If you never got to go to a Prince concert (I went to several), you missed out. NO body does it better than him! Steve Winwood, check out Higher Love w/Chaka Khan. Great song!
Prince stole this number and brought down the house! One--if not the best guitar player ever!
And walked off like a £ucking boss!
Prince was and still is one of the greatest guitar players ever. He literally killed it on here 😍😍😍💜💜
So much greatness on that stage! We old school prince/music fans already know, but prince does not get enough credit for his amazing skills with the guitar.
The look on Harrison's son face when prince was in front of him priceless.
Oh man Prince is about to give it to ya. Can't wait to see how you react. I'm old enough to know what he can do to a guitar. There are a whole bunch of 80's baby guitars out there that look great in purple.
PRINCE ! IS THE GREATEST MUSICIAN EVER !. PERIOD !.
Wow! It's been a few years since I watched this but never to forget how amazing a tribute this was for George. Prince just stole the show at the end. If he went back in time to 1955 he would put Marty McFly to shame!
Great reaction. It is an amazing perfomance isn't it? Am a little perplexed by people who didn't know he could play like this. Have been a fan since the early eighties and, you know, the records kind of speak for themselves. Either way, glad to see some people finally getting the Prince thing. He was a genius. Just like the Beatles he was one of those gifts the universe decides to send us once in a while.
Oh wow what a pick! Yes that's Steve Winwood. You need to hear Steve and Eric Clapton together. 😍 #eargasm *Can't Find My Way Home* and others
A favorite of mine. I played it alot right after my dad died.
Kj Robbi..indeed that Winwood /Clapton performance at Crossroads was pretty damn good. As was Steve's guitar work on Dear Mr. Fantasy.
Prince was an underrated guitarist.
Every time I watch this rendition I weep, passionately.
Darlin', your face when Prince threw his guitar...Yes, Prince is a magician
THIS is one of my favorite performances!! Prince’s guitar solo still gives me goosebumps. I could listen to this over and over. By the way, Prince plays every instrument that there is and he is self taught. The man was a genius.
I listen to this at least once a month!!! I love it!!! I can't believe Tom Petty and Prince are gone.....Love Petty --and Roy Orbison! Watching again!!!
Can’t beat this fabulous group of musicians!!!!!!✌️💕
Prince's "guitar tech" caught the his guitar.
That particular guitar is named "Mad Cat" believe it or not he got it from a guy selling it at a gas station for next to nothing.
Ya see, they were on their way to a gig when Prince realized he forgot his guitar they were to far to turn back & get it, so when they pulled over to get some gas, he saw a guy selling a bunch of stuff in the gas station parking lot. The rest as they say, is history.
This performance was from the night that Prince was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame!
Prince=GOAT!! 💜☔💜☔💜☔💜☔
Never Heard of Steve Winwood ????? You need to go there now. Start with Traffic
Forreal, he need to check out Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys and Shanghai Noodle Factory.
Higher Love ft Chaka Khan in the background vocals , just recently redone by some DJ ( Kygo I think his name is ) with the late Whitney Houston on vocals .
Don't you just love how the Purple one 💜 walks out, completely kills it, throws the guitar like.....nothing more to do here. Watch my smoke.....y'all. Miss you Prince and Tom Petty!
Heehee... yes. Exactly like that. 💜
Prince ate this guitar solo up 🔥You rarely hear him mentioned for his guitar playing prowess...underrated for sure. This a great collaborative performance 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Prince was in his own world
That is Steve Winwood. You need to check out his solo stuff from late 70s early 80s. "Higher Love", "While You See A Chance", "Freedom Overspill", "roll With It", "Valerie",
Jrzy Tmata Higher Love is the jam
This ENTIRE LINE UP WAS SPECTACULAR!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL INDEPENDENTLY...TRUE MUSICIANS LOVE THEIR CRAFT AND ARE EXTRAORDINARY!!! PRINCE WAS A BEAST!!!! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
You could only really appreciate this after having listened to all you have listened to on your musical journey. I didn't know Prince was such a great rock guitarist, I regret that I overlooked his talent. What a moment in rock history with all these greats!

Love the Prince guitar solo on this one! I come here from Jamal's channel, first time I'm watching one of your videos, enjoy! and PS you just earned a new sub from me. I look forward to seeing more of what you do man.
Welcome to the family.
You going to love Jay’s reactions there awesome
Oh I like Jamal! You're gonna love it here! Our J makes me 'big smile' all the time! Welcome! 😁
Prince threw his guitar to the gods & said...hold it for me 💔
Can only imagine the music in heaven...sadly, soooooo many GREATS, gone too soon 😔😢
Prince played ALL the instruments on his first 4 albums! Dude can literally play any instrument!
Prince was the GOAT! In his life, Prince released 39 studio albums Wrote, produced and performed all his own music in his own studio @ Paisley Park!!
‘Prince is a magician’. I can not count the number of times I have watched this video. It’s my happy place. The talent on that stage was epic. Including the man they were honouring.
"George caught the guitar," is one of my favorite memes about the end of that one lol
See how amazing Prince was!
The Best!I'm crying...💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is one of my all time favorite jams. An all-star line up for a band, with Prince showing off one of his best talents. Hes such an awesome showman, and makes it look like its effortless. I also love your reaction to it. Its always great to see perfection appreciated. His man in front of the stage caught the guitar. You can see Prince glance downwards to make sure he caught it ok. Since I had never seen a Prince show live, I never really knew of his guitar talents until I heard the song "Lets go crazy" when it came out, and the guitar work in that song, plus the sweet solo at the end, sure caught my attention, like its catching yours now.
Jay just wow. Prince such a talented man such a sad loss. R.I.P prince 😇💖💕💖
George Harrisons son looks hauntingly like him.....I never realized
What a magical rendition of a classic! OMG...Prince! What a legend.
wow. never saw this cover, pretty incredible.
One of Prince’s backing musicians says Prince would be listening to them working out riffs, then he would come in, take whatever instrument you were playing, play it better than you and show you what he wanted.
Miss ya, George :(
Prince. Genius. End of Story
This is a Beatles song by George Harrison , George Harrison's son Dhani Harrison ( pronounced Danny but with a slight 'H' sound after the " D" in his name is the young guy on guitar next to Tom Petty , Steve Winwood is on piano Frizzy/ curly hair guy with glasses is Jeff Lynn .The guy doing the guitar solo is a guitar player in Electric Light Orchestra ( E.L.O . ) with Jeff Lynn ( forgot the guys name sorry )
WHAT a PERFORMANCE 😍🥰💝👍🤯!!! TOTAL and PURE talent at its VERY best!!! KILLED IT! xx
Steve winwood was in a band called "traffic" and had a few hits like "dear mr. Fantasy" , he was in the "Spencer davis group" when he was real young and wrote a hit called "Gimme some loving". Later in his solo career he had the hit "higher love". Those 3 songs are real good representations of him that you should really enjoy. Deeper track is "john barleycorn must die" if you wanna go off the beaten path.
Now in regards to this video: Covers dont always sound good, but this was fantastic. Vocals were excellent, prince knows how to throw down hard ! Seen it before but its worth seeing more than once !
I loved Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" album.
RIP Prince and Tom! The world misses you 🙏💜
Love Love all these geniuses 🤩🤩🤩💖😍😍😍👍🤭
I watch this video often, it is one of the few i have saved. One of the things I love is that these legends of rock are jamming away and then Prince steps up and puts on a master class of guitar work. It has been said of this video that at the end of the song, Prince threw his guitar into the heavens where it remained waiting for him until his passing. It is remarkable that so many people never realized how phenomenal Prince was on guitar - he makes it look so easy.
Prince like "hold my beer!"
Prince...killed it🔥🔥🔥 Tom Petty and Steve Winwood killed it too. This was Prince’s “hold my beer moment”😂
Shows your ear that you caught Steve's talent. Def do a song of his
Steve Winwood was on the organ. Prince blows my mind every time I see this video. Thanks for the reaction, it was awesome❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
Marc Mann is a very good Guitarist...You have to put more Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra on your channel man!
Probably one of the greatest collabs EVER!! Who TF would have the audacity to give these legends a thumbs down?!?!
I’m not sure but I have a troll who dislikes all my videos as soon as I post it
Such a beautiful tribute to George Harrison. ❤️
You finally did it LOL, love your reaction, Jeff Lynne from ELO looks the same LOL....Of course Prince can play that guitar....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Kenny Lattimore did a great cover of this song...which led me to this masterpiece!
