I love Petrucci, few guitarists have inspired and moved me like him. I even love this version of purple rain, but the one at MI was much better. And seriously, what in the world happened around 4:10 until he stopped playing lead and recovered when began to play the chords. That was a complete mess. I wonder if he screwed up and couldn’t find the groove until he played the chords. I have never seen him play so badly in my life.
I can't believe that at this time i am watching this master piece from Petrucci. Too much feeling in it, Inspiration, Technique. Woaaa. Dude thanks for sharing this :)
Awesome version, but if you want to listen to an even better one, google 'Neil Zaza, Purple Rain'. Possibly the best instrumental I've ever heard in my life.
awesome cover and I like him very much, but guys check out Neil Zaza's cover on his album staring at the sun (or looking at the sun, I forgot). It's awesome!
lmao he tries so hard to be melodic but he just fails in this... Doesn't matter how technically badass you are, playing with the heart is so much more difficult than practicing to a metronome..and I shred ! haha
@heavymetaljim1 Seriously, after all these years I'm so tired of hearing people say such non sense. I've learned over the years of being friends with other guitar players, that the ones who say that usually cant play worth a damn anyway and use that excuse as to why they cant play. I'm not saying that about you, but I'm sick of hearing people say that crap. If you feel it, you feel it even if it's 1,000 notes per minute.
too bad his virtuosity kills everything else. feelings matter more than technical stuff. Donald Roeser, Richie Blackmore and of course the legend Jimi Hendrix were maybe inferior in technics but are much much better than him because their technics were there to give you chill !!
Nice version, but would have been a thousand times better if he played Prince's original lead guitar break at the end of this version just to cap it off.

Increible....🅿urple🅿rince
6:40 the bend
That's what I want to hear in a Purple Rain Tribute
RIP Prince
RIPrince #Forever
Such an awesome cover from one of the best guitarists out there! You did Prince proud JP! RIP Prince.
the best version of Purple Rain is from Damjan Pejcinoski & Belarus Presidential Orchestra !
+Tuco Ramirez God YES ! thats my opinion !
He is basically copying john petrucci cover that he did with andy timmons al pitrelli and brad gillis..changing a lil bit here and there...mehhhh
Wish the audio quality was decent.
i need the backing track..
Killer vibrato....tone, chops, and feel.
Enorme!!!!!!

Too many notes
Awesome version, but if you want to listen to an even better one, google 'Neil Zaza, Purple Rain'. Possibly the best instrumental I've ever heard in my life.
did you really just imply that petrucci doesn't play with feeling? good one
fkn awesome !!!!
(...) deleite.
I'd love to hear a 1080p HQ version of this !
or for that matter check out his cover of this song in Pittsburg Hard Rock Cafe!
awesome cover and I like him very much, but guys check out Neil Zaza's cover on his album staring at the sun (or looking at the sun, I forgot). It's awesome!
To the woman in the front row: Will you please sit the fuck down so I can see John playing.
i love john
DAMN!!!!!!! Dont know what to say....He is very very good
I have that guitar, i fucking love it
lmao he tries so hard to be melodic but he just fails in this... Doesn't matter how technically badass you are, playing with the heart is so much more difficult than practicing to a metronome..and I shred ! haha
he is the master.

does anyone know the scales he uses here? thanks

hihi
Digg
White boys always ruin soul music... Just like lameass Stevie Ray Von! Blacks invented rock! -jimi hendrix
`man his effects make him sound better than he really is he is missing alot! still god tho
Nice version, but would have been a thousand times better if he played Prince's original lead guitar break at the end of this version just to cap it off.
Why couldn't the dipfucks in the audience shut the fuck up?
i think it woulda sounded better if he didnt have so much effect on the guitar....the notes sound jumbled up....
Kinda boring really for me. Classic song but as an instrumental its predictable and very cliche
@camo190280 hes really good, i just prefer niel zaza, if you havent heard of him, check out his cover of purple rain its mindblowing. peace :).

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
minute 6:25 is orgasm
I usually don't like "shredding" type of play but this is how it's done properly.
the person who disliked must be blind and deaf
@maddearth between 96 and 98
This is Petrucci, and he's always technically amazing, but... have you seen the solo by juanjosepelegrin over purple rain here on youtube?
my fave guitarist playing one of my fave songs...fkn awesome! Any dick claiming JP isn't almost the perfect player clearly lacks ears.
q buen temaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
haha mann this was a while ago wonder what year
