They asked Prince to do a guitar solo and he blew it up in true prince style , dressed to the nines and making it look so easy. A master entertainer, we lost a true artist when he left us 😢
Prince is the definition of the phrase, he understood the assignment. “You want a solo about a guitar gently weeping? Say no more.” He became the guitar. Man there will be never be another performer, artist like prince.
@@Trwillis9 you must be Trippin because that’s all improv on that stage and really until you show me what you can do with a guitar for you to put down one of the best that ever did it. I’d love to hear your musical tastes.
Prince, nothing to say. Speechless. For all you crying about him showboating. That is Prince. They asked for Prince. They got Prince. He doesn't play instruments, he performs. And that was one hell of a performance. You didn't know, now you know.
Man it's a shame that timeless artists like this don't get more play and spotlight time. It almost as if it takes death for the majority of people to realize their contributions as well as influence to art and music alike. Ahead of their time in so many ways
Prince in the dark until he wasn’t. Then history happened. I will live another 20 years if I’m lucky. This will be the greatest guitar solo I ever saw. Never left the pocket. Wasn’t too flashy. Just incredible the entire time.
@Deese Knutz Don't start with the RACIAL CRAP. The reason Prince's guitar prowess is often overlooked is because he has done so many OTHER things superbly!!!!!!!!! SINGING, DANCING, SONGWRITING, COMPOSING, ARRANGING as well as many OTHER instruments he was able to play. So yes, his guitar playing was often overlooked because he did EVERYTHING and NOT because he was black. So please take that RACE CARD out of your wallet and throw it away FOREVER my brother.
Right ! Prince couldn’t be denied. It’s like all the kings and queens bowed when Prince came through. Just enough confidence to be like yeah I know I’m a bad mofo and just enough respect for the others to be like I’m enjoying the shit out of this with you guys! I’d say of live performances of rock this Hass to be either the best or at least in the top five up there with Jimi Hendrix killing floor at Monterey , queen live, set at live aid, and maybe U2. At red rock that’s a big maybe though. Stevie Ray Vaughan voodoo Child I forget which one there are quite a few good ones you get what I mean though there are such few live acts that did it as big as that if anybody else has something to add please do.
George fully understood and would've loved that scenario: The quiet guy that a couple of players aren't sure will "fit in" takes his turn three quarters of the way through and winds up blowing the rest of the field away. I think George held people like that in very high esteem. People who showed their strength through thoughtfulness, spirituality, generosity, humor, basic decency and on occasions such as this, were additionally possessed with the ability to wield a guitar with the unsurpassable talent of a Prince. To the quiet Beatle and the Prince, thank you for this, and for everything you did to enrich people's enjoyment of music, sirs.
Regardless of how he'd feel about it, the fact is that solo makes you really feel the spirit of the song, how a guitar can express emotion on a level otherwise impossible to achieve.
It's never about "blowing the rest of the field away". This was simply a tremendous ensemble performance, with an amazing solo climax. Great music has little to do with blowing others away. It has everything to do with taking the listener places they might never have expected to go.
I think alot of people don't realize how talented Prince was ! I think he was about 18 when he recorded his first album! Where he not only wrote all the music, lyrics , played each instrament! And arranged ! And continued to write everything! He could dance and sing ! And play!!! That for me separates him! From anybody else!!! That question comparing him to MJ ! Not even close!!! Name someone who plays 23 instruments writes hits , performs like that!!!!!!
Besides the sheer guitar brilliance shown by Prince there are so many little things to enjoy here: the grin on Dhani and Tom's faces at 4:44, then Prince again at 4:58, Tom shaking his head at 5:08 as if to say "Man this guy is good!"; then Prince's smile and nod at 5:34. They're obviously having so much fun, it's a pleasure to watch.
I thought the same thing and still do, but after listening to an interview that Dhani did about Prince’s performance, where he called it “gratuitous”, I wonder what they were really thinking on that stage during Prince’s performance.
@@sbillips753 💖Dhani let a bunch of jealous D's get in his head. He loved it when it happened, but people probably started whispering in his ears over the years that he shouldn't like this tribute to his father, and he fell for it. That's just sad that he would let them take away one of the happiest moments in his life.💖🎸💖
@@purpleflowers699 Yes that is true, I remember seeing a longer clip from this performance a few years ago and Dhani was smiling and very excited afterwards and kept asking "Where is Prince?, where is Prince?, I want to thank him/or talk to him!". So at the time right after it happened Dhani was very very happy!!!
@@sbillips753 They looked like they were surprised. I also think that Prince did it for a reason. Something happened behind the scenes that Prince was obviously pissed offed about. Prince hardly expressed his distaste verbally.You could always tell it in his face and then in his music. Perfect time to grab the show! I liked Claptons version but Prince mopped the floor with this solo.
@@locadisa Prince was supposed to do most of the solos, but in rehearsals the other guitarist (Lynne's) kept stepping in and playing Prince's parts, Prince eventually told the organizer to let the other guy play the first solos and that he (Prince) would play the final. Look it up.
Never cared for Prince before this. But if there's anything like stylish guitar performance, here it is.One of the most stylish playing with skills ever seen by me. Style Quotient off the charts. Wherever you are Prince, I hope you are now playing that guitar you threw up to heavens. Sorry I underestimated you. Rock On,Priince!
Yes, and he is effortlessly lifted back onto the stage after a complete collapsing tribute to Harrison's son. This performance is so powerful it is almost impossible to experience, assimilate and contain. Perhaps musically it is impossible to replicate.
This still gets to me.😢I remember hearing the news on the radio of George’s passing on my drive home from work. I had to pull over bcuz I couldn’t stop the tears. Then there’s Prince at his finest. I know he still had music left in him. The shitiest year was when we lost Bowie, Prince and George Michael. 💔😭 I am happy for Dahni that he got to part of a rare performance of his father’s beautiful music.
I bet George would have been well chuffed, it was a meaningful tribute. You could see the look on Harrison's kids face, he was blown away by Prince's brilliance.
That is definitely a command tribute to the not just the song to the Beatles as well. Thank you to all of you Rock Icons for the honor you bring to the Rock-Roll table! R.I.P. those gone before us
You click the video waiiting to see prince, then your angry there's no prince, then you're thinking these fools forgot prince!? then you're like oh no, prince on the side!!? then the solo happens, your face melts off, and you're left wondering if God caught the guitar. wtf hapened!?
I come back to this video every so often because the story behind princes part is funny, plus the way he throws the guitar and walks off at the end and you never see it come down
God - "Time to give the guitar back, Prince. What did I tell you about touching my stuff with out asking? Play time is over, get your butt to the studio now. "
A girl from New Jersey caught it. She lives in Hoboken she won't let it go for anything. A friend of mine offered her $ 10,000 for it and she turned it down.
I gotta say, I never cared for the music Prince created of his own, more a matter of my personal preferences , genre, and so forth. But by God, the man could LIGHT UP A GUITAR! Ever imagine a band handpicked by yourself,and who you would choose from all the musicians living or dead, famous and well regarded,or obscure and unknown? Well despite being a fan of the Perry/Whitford, Nugent, Tipton/Downing,Marino, etc. era, Prince would be assured of a membership in my lineup.
JUST WOW !! What a friggin performance, so sad half of them aren’t around anymore , I saw Tom Petty twice in the 80’s and 90’s, but never Prince , and never knew he was as badass on the guitar as he proved there ! OMG , still have goosebumps from this video !!
It's April 26,2020...we're in the midst of a "Global Pandemic ". I am simply amazed at the talent assembled here...sad that we've lost a few great musicians, I can't help but thing what band(s) are playing up in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with all of us! RIP ❤🙏😘
When you Do something you Do it right, When you're paying tribute to a Icon you multiply that by 1,000. Everyone Man on that Stage put everything they had & Left it right there, At the end Prince took "it". Signed it, Sealed it & DELIVERED a Iconic Performance to another Icon. Outstanding Gentleman!!
... and this is why Eric Clapton has called Prince the greatest guitar player of all time. I have seen this probably 100's of times and it STILL gives me the chills to watch Prince play. If you know anything about the guitar, what he did in this performance was absolutely untouchable.
Same here. Also Beware of Darkness. So many of his songs are both spiritual and haunting. You just don't see this around today. Hopefully in the future. Gotta have faith.
After falling back into his bodyguards hands. He doesn't skip a beat... Gives a lil grin and knocks out that funky little riff... Slides down that bass line like, " Yeah MFers... I (Prince) came here to send GH out with a bang."
Just amazing! Georges son looks just like him...and Prince...What can I say? The best guitarist I think he is better than Hendrix, Clapton, all the greats! Bravo!
There's literally a zero percent chance that one of the greatest musicians ever had never heard one of the best songs on one of the best albums by the most famous band ever before. Sorry
I could almost cry for not recognizing the talent Prince had. I wasn’t into that kind of music when he was preforming and preforming at his best I might add. After watching him not only play perfectly and preform flawless the cherry on top was the way he finished up throwing his guitar straight up into the air then turning an walking away, performance over time to move on. Showing everyone how he own the time there and he wasn’t going to waste any of not preforming. Time Go. An amazing talented performer who I will never be able to witness his true greatness as I believe he had not yet peaked. There is some solace in the knowledge that his performances have been recorded for posterity and I may be able to pull some from various archives to watch him perform yet again an again over an over
One of my favorite performances of all time. Prince quiet in the corner, just waiting to burn the house down. What a fantastic memorial to George. 🔥❤️🔥
This is such a badass performance by 1 & by all...they all make this 1 of greatest music performances ever... George, Tom & Prince yaw rest in peace & do yaw's thang up in Heaven...luv & miss yaw...
I've seen this quite a few times, but never noticed...the end, where Prince "drops the mic (guitar)"..in the air, to a waiting roadie stepped in planned catch. Very respectful, not flaunting wealth the way they do. You never heard the guitar crash into the stage floor YES he plays great. Watch purple rain movie it's fkn GOOD
I love watching this performance over and over. They are all just having fun jamming together. The young one on Tom's right was watching Prince playing the whole time with a big smile on his face and they all gave each other a big smile here and there.
They asked Prince to do a guitar solo and he blew it up in true prince style , dressed to the nines and making it look so easy. A master entertainer, we lost a true artist when he left us 😢
Fuck fentanyl and millions who loved him and could never reach him.
Na it's cause he was a really badass guitar player an they thought that he'd fuck it up but he showed different
Nah I don’t think they thought that at all. As a matter of fact, there weren’t many things Prince ever fucked up. Perfection comes to mind.
Well said man. He’s the epitome of an Artist, it ran through his entire being. Wow
😢
Prince is the definition of the phrase, he understood the assignment. “You want a solo about a guitar gently weeping? Say no more.” He became the guitar. Man there will be never be another performer, artist like prince.
Ruhe in Frieden mein lieber Georg. Du warst und bist unvergesslich 😢
"In the worst time of my life, Prince's music changed my life, it gave me hope again"- Eric Clapton.
When an interviewer asked Clapton what it felt like to be the World's Greatest Guitar Player, he replied "I don't know. You'll have to ask Prince."
Eric is trippin.. Prince can shred but his music is mot that serious tbh. He has less than 10 supremely amazing songs.. 5 at most
@Trwillis9 everyone like who they like. We are entitled to our own opinions but we are not entitled to our own facts. Lol

Prince stole the show. And that's fine by me.
Prince was truly a shooting star. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No one better!!
Jealous… Show me any of you on this video that can outplay Prince.
I’m waiting.
You could see the smile on Petty and George's sons face as Prince went into his guitar solo truly making his guitar weep.

Prince's guitar needed a cigarette after that solo...
Jeff Lynne too. He gives a smile also.
An petty was getting shown up
❤😊🥰🥰🥰🥰
This performance never gets old; the excitement on George son's face says it all.
My gosh! Yes it does!! His dad would’ve been the same!! That Man was just a Genius!! Rest dear 💜
Ikr?!? He looks as if he was having the time of his life!
I noticed that too. He was waiting for it the whole song.
I can watch this ending over and over and over again and it never gets even the slightest bit boring! Hats off to Prince & Petty. RIP 🙏
yup RIP Tom Petty and prince but they will never be forgot to this day
RIP George Harrison, Tom Petty and Prince. True Legends.

@@janicetotten6388 You got a problem with it? That was rock and roll. Make your own word for it. Don’t care.
The sign of a truly great musician. He always knew exactly when and how to shine!
This is so powerful it is almost impossible to experience, assimilate and contain
Until a year ago he wasent listed as a top 20 guitarists
Prince never ever comes up when people start talking about the greatest guitarist of all time.
One of the most underrated.
@Deese Knutz no don't think it's that.
It comes down to fan base... Most people don't realize how good he was. Hendrix is all at the top

Just amazing! Georges son looks just like him...and Prince...What can I say? The best guitarist I think he is better than Hendrix, Clapton, all the greats! Bravo!
i love that there are now actually college & music school courses breaking down every aspect of this performance -- best RRHOF finale EVER
Heart doing stairway to heaven is pretty damn close.
Lost count how many times I've watched this. It transports me to a time and place in my life when life was much more ......... "real"
You know the amazing thing is I think I read that Prince had never even heard this song until shortly before the show. What an amazing performance
I find that hard to believe. Why would you agree to play a tribute to someone whose song you don't know?
@@thingfish000 A skilled musician like Prince could probably learn the song faster than we think
There's literally a zero percent chance that one of the greatest musicians ever had never heard one of the best songs on one of the best albums by the most famous band ever before. Sorry
This is mind blowing and amazing. I have to watch it every so often to remind myself of badass-ry.
Imagine that…. Superstars sounding like superstars! Love this rendition!
Can’t believe they are both gone. Wherever we go the talent is astounding. Fly high
The way he bends the strings and uses vibrato at the top of the bend at 4:13 is next level
Tom Petty shaking his head in disbelief at 5.00 mins at Princes playing is a joy . What a guitar player
Damn Prince knew how to play the hell out of that guitar! bunch of legends up on that stage!
So happy I got to see Prince live before his passing.
Beautiful track, Prices solo-mindblowing, more talent lost to us, thankfully still on record xx
Never get tired of watching this.... Prince is amazing.
Fantastic combo thanks for uploading. Jeff Lynns vocals. Wow. Princes guitar solo woww. The whole thing woooooow!! Thanks so much guys
Waow..... n Prince is Excellent. ... May The Beautiful Souls keep on Tripping This Master pièce .. 💜💜💜
Dudes that lil purple guy Shreds , new Respect for Prince.
I could almost cry for not recognizing the talent Prince had.
I wasn’t into that kind of music when he was preforming and preforming at his best I might add. After watching him not only play perfectly and preform flawless the cherry on top was the way he finished up throwing his guitar straight up into the air then turning an walking away, performance over time to move on.
Showing everyone how he own the time there and he wasn’t going to waste any of not preforming. Time Go.
An amazing talented performer who I will never be able to witness his true greatness as I believe he had not yet peaked.
There is some solace in the knowledge that his performances have been recorded for posterity and I may be able to pull some from various archives to watch him perform yet again an again over an over
Last comment I promise not mention Prince Is one sharp dressed man.
One year gone tomorrow - simply cannot believe it. The word Legend will never do him justice. :(
Prince said I can come to the spotlight and show you what I can do. Harrison knew Prince was getting ready to do his thing. BAM!!!!!!!!!
Wow these legends playing homage to other legends. You will never see this again!
I watched this 3 times in a row! The smile kept getting bigger and bigger a bigger….😂 I love this song!!
Best guitar performance in history
Sorry it was not
It was truly brilliant but.... best ever? Thats a big call. Dave Gilmore doing comfortably numb live? Now your talking.
Lmfao! Keep smoking
U kidding right ??
Try Gary Moore The Messiah Will Come
One of my favorite performances of all time. Prince quiet in the corner, just waiting to burn the house down. What a fantastic memorial to George. 🔥❤️🔥
great prince guitar performance at the end RIP with George Harrison
This is such a badass performance by 1 & by all...they all make this 1 of greatest music performances ever...
George, Tom & Prince yaw rest in peace & do yaw's thang up in Heaven...luv & miss yaw...
Everyone did they're thing. Excellent, seriously. But Prince............wow. next level.
Good luck everybody
This is amazing!! I miss you Prince and Tom P. I love you and miss y’all so much!
Prince is off the chain...
Это мою детство и молодость. Битлз! Харрисон! Гитара плачет! Не понимал слов, но плакал и сейчас плачу...
I've seen this quite a few times, but never noticed...the end, where Prince "drops the mic (guitar)"..in the air, to a waiting roadie stepped in planned catch. Very respectful, not flaunting wealth the way they do. You never heard the guitar crash into the stage floor YES he plays great. Watch purple rain movie it's fkn GOOD
Ring to my ears.... Beautiful Badass!!! 🤩
I guess Prince made his statement, don't forget me .
I love watching this performance over and over. They are all just having fun jamming together. The young one on Tom's right was watching Prince playing the whole time with a big smile on his face and they all gave each other a big smile here and there.
Eddie Van Halen passed today and this memorandum was the first I thought of. He's with his guitar brethren now, rest on brothers 🤲🏽
