He can sing a range of octaves that puts him up amongst the top six in the world. His voice, as an instrument, has been perfected like his other instruments. He is music.
This is what the true fans want releasing. His live shows at the jazz festivals are sublime. And give that different take on his talents. He sounds incredible. There is nobody alive or dead that can touh him. We love you always Prince Rogers Nelson xx
You get more than your moneys worth at a Prince concert. Each time I went was like electricity in the air and the people under hypnosis. You leave and you can hear people saying "wow" or like "I didn't know he was that good" or people saying it was the best concert they've seen. He performed over 1,400 full concerts and in 2004 the year was inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame, and the last time I saw him live, he sold out all 96 shows, 1.4million tickets sold, and grossed $87.5million, making it the top concert for the year. Simply the best. We will never see the likes of him in our lifetime. I think its funny when people say rest in peace Prince, if they knew him they would know there is no rest with him. He ate, drank, slept, woke up, went to work, make music everyday. There's tens of thousands of recorded material and videos and even stuff he wrote down that was in that vault. I'm out
Nobody and mean Nobody touches Prince and His peers agree. Not only is He the Best Live performer I’ve ever seen He’s also Beautiful to watch …The Complete Package 💜🙌🏻👏🏻
This is one of his best performances IMO. Every time I hear this live version I get goosebumps. If you want to listen to him remake his hit Little Red Corvette (2009) at the same show is just fire. And If you want another song that's just fire and will make you jump around check out All The Critics Love you in Montreux same concert. That will make you wanna tear the roof off the house. Keep'em coming.
Underground Classic ❣️🔥 Empty room is a masterpiece. My favorite artist of all time. I am so happy I was able to see him live in concert. Although he's not with us today but he will always be in our hearts ❣️ Rest in power Purple One 💜
No. The lick is from a cut that occurred while wearing one of those knuckle-to-knuckle rings. But he sure played it off without missing a stroke😉 AND I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT!
New subber here... keep doing my sweet Prince and I'll keep coming back. Some freak actually had the nerve to say frank zappa was way better at playing the guitar then Prince what a joke! NOBODY is better at ANYTHING then my baby is!!!
Totally awesome..this is literally a piece of art. Truly phenomenal guitar playing, singing and stagecraft. Every time I’ve watched this, I’ve got goosebumps. My goodness, I wish I’d been there. Really miss this amazing man :-( Epic guitar solos, touching you deep inside your very soul and heart! A performance conveying utter despair, leading into frustration and anger. He’s almost on another planet, he is so much in “The Zone” playing ‘Empty Room’ and on the next song ‘Elixir’ his vocals are outstanding, speaking of enchantment and seduction. Vocal range on point! 10 minutes of a musical masterclass, and good grief he looks so delicious here at the age of 51! I could eat him he looks so good haha. He was like No other, people nowadays don’t even understand. Prince was the Greatest Of All Time.
Great reaction!! If you're just starting to get into the genius of Prince (congrats on that) you should check out the hits from earlier in his career too. His repertoire is super deep. It's very cool that you love his live performances. There's no one better. I was lucky enough to see him live over 20 tiimes and got to go to several after shows. Check out the extended version of When Doves Cry, Lady Cab Driver or Kiss next. You won't be sorry 💜
Prince was working through some personal emotions during this performance. He tore it up. ❤ someone probably already gave you the keyboard players name but if not, it’s Renato Neto. He’s a master too.
Have you covered the live version of Electric Intercourse, from the August, 1983 Benefit Concert at 1st Avenue? It's freakishly good. It's everything, tbh.
Renato playing that beautiful solo is music Prince played when he wrote the music. Prince played the piano with the same skill as on his guitar. There is a rehearsal where he is playing “summertime” and it is so relaxed and beautiful. He can’t play any music less than his high standard. The rehearsal was in Japan, Tokyo and the band and Prince were doing a sound check.
Awesome reaction!! Please react to Prince's transcendent, live performance of "Purple Rain" in Syracuse, 1985. Also, any live performance of "Shhh". More, out-of-this-world guitar solos, plus some fantastic drumming by John Blackwell. You mentioned the lyrics. Fun fact: "Elixir" in this song is Prince for "he licks her." Prince loved to incorporate word play into his lyric writing. The whole song is basically him singing about going downtown. But what can you say--he sung the hell out of it. Brilliant execution for this Montreaux show. He did the song justice (probably that nice lady, too LOL.)
The keyboard guy is Renato Neto. This is the most amazing guitar solo, literally makes his guitar cry!! This video has been taken off my playlist and it's the only version I'm truly in love with
Great reaction, you actually listened to two different songs. The second one is called Elixir that’s Renato Neto on keys . He did two shows I one night both were amazing. I’ll second All the Critics Love You , prepare yourself 😂😂
Just a guess: this version was inspired by( figuratively) MJ, who had died weeks earlier. Prince was devastated by his passing. After this concert, Prince stayed up until dawn on his Montreux suite's balcony, overlooking the lake, and talking to Tavis Smiley about Michael. Yeah...this was for Mike.💔 Neto is the Brazilian jazz pianist. The silky segue from the tortured Empty Room to sensual Elixir is beyond brilliant.
The licking is due to a small cut caused by the big ring he WAS wearing earlier in this show. And BTW “Empty Room” was written when he was 17 after breaking up with his girlfriend who just happened to be Wendy Melvoin’s twin sister.
There were two shows in 2009 at Montreux, 3 shows in 2013. All available on YT too many good moments to point out, if you got some time give them a look. It's like binging 7 episodes of the musical genius at work.
Motherless Child Purple Rain live in Dortmund & Milaan are Must watch Bambi I could never take the place of your man My advice is actually short Watch Prince …you won’t be disappointed coz He’s ….Prince 💜🙌🏻👏🏻
Perhaps my favorite reaction for this performance. 🔥🙏🏾 Also, for context at 3:14 - From what I know, he licked his hand because he cut it before doing this song. This would explain why he did it again at 6:07 because it was still bleeding during his solo. I don’t know how he exactly cut it though, possibly from the guitar or something.
Last one… this song was written after his break up with Susannah Melvoin, Wendy’s, guitarist for The Revolution, he was engaged to marry her, that’s the emotion and passion in his writing!!!! 💜💜💜
Loved the reaction as always. Prince's whole set from this festival is amazing and a masterclass in musicianship. You should react to his live version of Whats My Name FT Kendrick Lamar. It's sooo good! th-cam.com/video/4dHdoX-vU0U/w-d-xo.html

I'm out
That whole Montreux performance by Prince is just incredible.
@@antoniomonsanto3925the 2 shows of Montreux 2009 were played on the same day… on July 18, 2009💜
And that my friend is what heartbreak sounds like.
U nailed it
The thing about Prince a performance is he believes every word he sings, and ever note he plays. That's what makes it so electrifying.
Nobody and mean Nobody touches Prince and His peers agree.
Not only is He the Best Live performer I’ve ever seen He’s also Beautiful to watch …The Complete Package 💜🙌🏻👏🏻
Those prince faces tho...come on!!!! Fuuuuuuuuu k the world misses these shows.
grew up with Prince he's the soundtrack of my life 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Prince was crazy after crazy, the number of crazy solos he did, limitless creativity..
The incredible Renaldo Neto on piano
This is one of his best performances IMO. Every time I hear this live version I get goosebumps. If you want to listen to him remake his hit Little Red Corvette (2009) at the same show is just fire. And If you want another song that's just fire and will make you jump around check out All The Critics Love you in Montreux same concert. That will make you wanna tear the roof off the house.

Yes
He tortured that guitar until it confessed to everything
Prince live shows all day long please
Yeah Prince can't be beat! I'm 18 and I've been going through his catalog since I was 11
This nakes my heart smile!!!!
Nice!!! Purple Rain!!! ☔️ is the Mecca Prince!!!
Underground Classic ❣️🔥 Empty room is a masterpiece. My favorite artist of all time.
I am so happy I was able to see him live in concert. Although he's not with us today but he will always be in our hearts ❣️ Rest in power Purple One 💜
The lick is a way of saying watch me play this lick… if you’re a Prince fan you know what you know
No. The lick is from a cut that occurred while wearing one of those knuckle-to-knuckle rings. But he sure played it off without missing a stroke😉 AND I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT!
He was a great great great performer and he is missed. We are lucky to have some of his music for the aftertime.
New subber here... keep doing my sweet Prince and I'll keep coming back. Some freak actually had the nerve to say frank zappa was way better at playing the guitar then Prince what a joke! NOBODY is better at ANYTHING then my baby is!!!
True Genius right up there with the likes of Mozart
Would love to see your reaction to Prince '
" Shhh" 2011 Paris and "America" live 1985 also in Paris 😉💜
One of my personal fave songs shhhh
YO LIL J U GOTTA GET AT THIS PRINCE JOINT ''Prince The Question of U - Live 2004'' IT IS SO TIGHT
Just a note, if u think this is good, listen to "play that funky music, Hollywood swinging . Watch this video. It's phenomenal
This live performance of "Empty Room" is a favorite of many hardcore Prince fans, cool to see you've discovered it now as well. O(+> 4ever
the hard rock to smooth jazz tells me his is the GOAT of 21st century modern musical artist
This was Prince at his best!! He loved long solos, and delivered every time!!!! Oh yeah, that brutha can make that guitar weep!!!!
Great reaction. He was great at transitioning from one song to another, so some of these clips end pretty abruptly.

That's Rrnato Neto on keyboard - his bass player, Rhonda Smith introduced them...

Welcome to Prince live.
Enjoy the ride we got our moneys worth fr your artisits heart and soul saw MR Collins 4 times 🎉 hi fr MONTRÉAL
The absolute G.O.A.T. it's a shame to music how underrated he was. S.I.P Renato Neto piano
Wooow mg Im speechless, what can I say anyway , stunning perfection…….love Prince 💜💜💜 keep up your amazing woork……
He is (!)just the Best! ever!
Prince was working through some personal emotions during this performance. He tore it up. ❤ someone probably already gave you the keyboard players name but if not, it’s Renato Neto. He’s a master too.
Where and when Hendrix left the world Prince took over . Its true and whoever does not see this is blind musically
Great Prince reactions man, seeing his live performances separates him from everyone else GOAT 💜☺️
you're the best lil J❤❤
He played Bambi with 3rd Girl too, very good version. And "I'm Yours"is another early career Prince track with great guitar work.
The guy on keyboards is Renato Neto from Brazil. He is AWESOME!!!
Have you covered the live version of Electric Intercourse, from the August, 1983 Benefit Concert at 1st Avenue? It's freakishly good. It's everything, tbh.
I requested that one too. I don’t think he’s done it yet.
@@tracynorman1455 the more of us suggesting, the better!
You need to do the whole show
Renato playing that beautiful solo is music Prince played when he wrote the music. Prince played the piano with the same skill as on his guitar.

Thank you it’s the first time I heard that 😮 and I’m a diehard….
Where have you lived?
I’ve seen Prince live in Detroit 7 times! Chills every time!! 💜💜💜🕊️🕊️
Prince performed at the Rock and Roll hall of fame. He did the guitar solo for my guitar gently weeps. Made the other musicians look like amateurs.
That’s a video you should react to prince while my guitar gently weeps with Tom Petty and others
React to Prince - Super Bowl XLI 🏈 | Halftime Show 2007 FULL SHOW HD
Great Reaction! If you are looking for lyrics…the two songs are Empty Room and Elixir
Awesome reaction!! Please react to Prince's transcendent, live performance of "Purple Rain" in Syracuse, 1985. Also, any live performance of "Shhh". More, out-of-this-world guitar solos, plus some fantastic drumming by John Blackwell.

Thanks for doing this. I knew you’d love it. The “long” version is actually a second song called Elixir.
Love his Montreux concerts, pure perfection 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Love your reaction, you appreciate every facet of Prince!!
This is another great one ...
The best 💜
There are no words really are there
🎸🎼🎤💜 GOAT
The keyboard guy is Renato Neto.
This is the most amazing guitar solo, literally makes his guitar cry!! This video has been taken off my playlist and it's the only version I'm truly in love with
Ma mans, you literally are the best... reaction vid peeps out there. .. every time you on point.
Great reaction, you actually listened to two different songs. The second one is called Elixir that’s Renato Neto on keys . He did two shows I one night both were amazing. I’ll second All the Critics Love You , prepare yourself 😂😂
Prince fan for 40 years!!!! Because why waste time on other artists when you can listen to the best?????
Just a guess: this version was inspired by( figuratively) MJ, who had died weeks earlier. Prince was devastated by his passing. After this concert, Prince stayed up until dawn on his Montreux suite's balcony, overlooking the lake, and talking to Tavis Smiley about Michael. Yeah...this was for Mike.💔 Neto is the Brazilian jazz pianist. The silky segue from the tortured Empty Room to sensual Elixir is beyond brilliant.
If this fact is real or not I've got goosebumps 😊
This isn’t true.
I have heard some of that. I hesitate to interpret Prince the man but what you say tracks.
@@dantetorres8350 this is true! I’ve seen the interview where Tavis is telling the story!
@@SallyKinley-4prn Thanks! It was a beautiful recollection by Tavis.
From the Montreux concerts please listen to Joy In Repetition!!! The man on keys is Renato Neto
The licking is due to a small cut caused by the big ring he WAS wearing earlier in this show. And BTW “Empty Room” was written when he was 17 after breaking up with his girlfriend who just happened to be Wendy Melvoin’s twin sister.

I was there all shows!!!
Check out Prince "The love we make " with third eye girl.
This concert was a 2 disc DVD that I purchased online. The 2nd show was the best out of the 2.
Insanely Epic as always!!!
that's Ronaldo Tito on the piano 💜💜only the best ride with Prince 💜💜
The GOAT!
What was your first Prince video??? And YES please play Prince at Montreux 2013 the 3rd night you will love it!!!!
Motherless Child
Purple Rain live in Dortmund & Milaan are Must watch
Bambi
I could never take the place of your man
My advice is actually short
Watch Prince …you won’t be disappointed coz He’s ….Prince 💜🙌🏻👏🏻
I am crying.
Perhaps my favorite reaction for this performance. 🔥🙏🏾
Also, for context at 3:14 - From what I know, he licked his hand because he cut it before doing this song. This would explain why he did it again at 6:07 because it was still bleeding during his solo. I don’t know how he exactly cut it though, possibly from the guitar or something.
RENATO and PRINCE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude, check out when I lay my hands on you live by prince
Vocally is like Nana Mouskouri sings with Demis Roussos and thats the octaves result as a soprano
Last one… this song was written after his break up with Susannah Melvoin, Wendy’s, guitarist for The Revolution, he was engaged to marry her, that’s the emotion and passion in his writing!!!! 💜💜💜
Loved the reaction as always. Prince's whole set from this festival is amazing and a masterclass in musicianship. You should react to his live version of Whats My Name FT Kendrick Lamar. It's sooo good!
th-cam.com/video/4dHdoX-vU0U/w-d-xo.html
piano Renato here reminds me Yanni (Prince wanted that keys to play Renato ..its totally Prince)

Montreaux Jazz had them removed. 😥
