Richie Sambora with Orianthi/Corey Glover (Living Colour) at Gershwin Room - Espy Hotel 27th Feb 2014. Posted for fan enjoyment only, no rights claimed.
Amazing video. Richie doesn't take the lead and lets others take centre stage. God this man is incredible. I'm so glad he left bon Jovi. Now we can see how awesome he is without having to bow down to the ego that is Mr jbj. Keep rocking Richie
There are hundreds of people trying to sing this song and I think this is one of the best I've heard. The key is passion. Prince sings this with passion and sadness. Amazing! Sounds like Corey is yearning for Prince to be alive.
If Richie is going to leave us to do covers with Orianthi this is the way to do it. Fantastic vocals by Corey and Orianthi rocked the house. Just wish it could be like the old days ya know.
I was waiting for Orianthi to completely wreck this song and at 3:24 she didn't disappoint. This is not a metal song. Orianthi is pretty nice to look at but, she uses the same tone on everything she plays regardless of what she plays. And then, at 5:03 the whole thing just falls apart into a complete and utter mess. Two guitars players shredding leads on Purple Rain? Ffs! Corey Glover was the star of this song and these two knit wits ruined that fact.
why they do that..over note.sound sucks...i know they are legend guitarist..and boy who singing get hell out just go to church then get out lout in ther
tazz1973tazz1973 Hey ass hole I'm a life long fan of prince and I consider purple rain to be the greatest song ever written so when I hear people murdering his composition I feel a duty to say so, the singer went in with all he had from the intro and had nothing left to give to the song in places where it needed everything and the 2 guitar players where trying to solo over each other trying to make it about them and not the song it came over really bad so it's not a case of 'not having anything nice to say' it is what it is but I get it if you where there you probably got caught up in the emotion of the thing which is the magic of his work but it's made you tone deaf so you will accept any shit, I've seen prince live many times and I know, I just know that if he where still alive right now he would quietly agree with me ☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️💔💔💔💔💔🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Paul Roadz all irrelevant - you came on my video and bagged it - if you don’t like it move along and keep your negativity to yourself - who made you god to decree what is good and what is bad. Now fuck off
tazz1973tazz1973 cmon Taz don't get hostile you know I'm right it's a god awful pile of shite rendition and I'm entitled to my opinion which is what comment sections are for I think you should come to my house for a cup of tea, slice of cake and a hug , do you know where I live ? ❤️
Sorry to say this but the twin guitar stuff at 5.12 sounds a mess ! heard so many better versions of this song ,,,pity.. we have followed Richie..for years his playing is different now
Amazing video. Richie doesn't take the lead and lets others take centre stage. God this man is incredible. I'm so glad he left bon Jovi. Now we can see how awesome he is without having to bow down to the ego that is Mr jbj. Keep rocking Richie
This is up there as one of my favorite gigs of all time. The energy in that room was electric! Unforgettable.
There are hundreds of people trying to sing this song and I think this is one of the best I've heard. The key is passion. Prince sings this with passion and sadness. Amazing! Sounds like Corey is yearning for Prince to be alive.

Corey Glover was the only one that made this tribute worth anything. since you asked yes I am a never do well.
Prince would have been proud.
A songbird that sings flys on his soft wings. Ori
Love to you corey
Cory is a great singer
When drinking and playing, one should probably remember that after the sixth beer...you're not sounding as good as you think you are.
Caracoles essa guitarrista arrasou
WOW!!!
awesome..
Demasiado Emoción :-D
nice voice of corey glove a very confuising solo by both, in the middle too much noise... only at the end they remembered
blown away
Doesn't that drummer also play for John Mayer ?
Anyone who has the tabs?
This has beed stuck in my head for months!
quello con la felpa con scritto brooklin è il cantante o vocalist dei living color
Maybe that's what purple rain is made of
is that the dude from living colour ??
Yep
Dude can sing his ass off, but shakes like Michael J Fox trying to eat soup...
Why is it so often played as a mega power adlib solo jam without any sensitivity, emotion or respect to the song?
Change it from Sambora cause it wasn't just him on that there stage..........What a night, great cover to finish the night at Espy....St Kilda...
okay, so this was kind of bad ass..
RIP Prince.
in Brazil raining princess
😲❤
I would love to hear a jon bonjovi version as well. Had a girlfriend that idolizes him and knows his momma personally.
He doesnt fit to that song.his voice is gone live sad but true
Xo xoxo love you
There was a time I only played tunes by two artists prince and living colour
Goddamit shred prince would of shredded on this song hu glory.
If only he sang like that in Platoon
I see a lot of the famous musicians wobble around like Charlie Chaplin .
Is that Jonny Lang on the left?
Ritchie Tapping him. If it we're me, Id be like WHAT!!!! OOPS!!!! SORRY!!!!
Purple rain
Brooklyn
Prince is somewhere weeping!!!! This is HORRIBLE 😳😳😳😳
Richie foda....
I wonder how Jon Bon would sound singing with Richie and O??
g8 singing...if u add solo from Chantel mcgregor..this wld b perfect tribute.
Who's the LEAD singer in this video? He CAN SING!! Ritchie was not lead here. You should have given credit.
Veggie Soup did you read the comments that reference Orianthi and Corey Glover...
Ay corey glover. I've written a new album. Look me up! Orianthi
what happened to the drummer?
Corey feels like purple rain
Thats Bad@$$
Orianthi
Richie was very drunk here, but amazing performance anyways
I was waiting for Orianthi to completely wreck this song and at 3:24 she didn't disappoint. This is not a metal song. Orianthi is pretty nice to look at but, she uses the same tone on everything she plays regardless of what she plays.

Not to crazy about the guitar solo. I liked Prince's version better.
