That solo just takes you away to another planet, unreal, it like he’s communicating to some other form of life , he is just pure genius in my books and always will!
The fact that rolling stone this year put jonie Mitchell in the top 10 guitarists Of all time And not prince Is Ludicrous She'd cut her hands off if she had to do a Guitar off with Prince
There is no words for that performance, just top notch, best of the best, incredible. He was a one of a kind and I'm glad I got to live in that era to experience it.
I was never a huge Prince fan but like the odd song, including this one. When first saw this video years ago, I suddenly realised how amazingly talented he was and what an underrated guitar master he was too.
Prince is the greatest all around musician of all times...But when it comes to the guitar he mastered it.Others can say they have or the critics can but prince actually mastered it
a lot of people have mastered it man... yeah definetely prince did but.. Hell, the dooo on youtube can play any song ... ever. even if hes never played it before lmao
When P reprises his solo at around 3:20, goes into a pirouette, and effortlessly comes out of it playing that high note on his Yellow Cloud guitar like it was no big deal...I still get chills off that moment. Totally unexpected, and totally cool. Most folks have no clue just how difficult that is, which is why you don't see many seasoned guitarists doing stuff like that. Respect and RIP to the Purple One.
@@jonnuanez2843 are you mad? he never said Van Halen was bad, he just said what Prince did is insanely difficult lmfao. you one of those "uhh prince wasnt that good i have to compare him hur dur" fuckwits, get lost lmfao you dont know shit
I agree, but I don't think that's giving Prince enough credit. He's one of the best musicians of all time. He could play at least 27 instruments. He was truly a very special individual and a musical genius.
Who cares about Rolling Stone Magazine...Prince didn't when it came to judging his guitar talent...besides, those r just numbers...one can't place a number on talent, unless u want to put Prince in place #1...the best and most bad@@@ of all time!!
Prince was the perfect example, of the difference between good,,,, and what I'd call BEYOND "good". He was masterful.... and the difference was emotion, soul. That can't be taught. He was a natural.
Prince is truly one of those artists (like Michael,Janet,Madonna,Mariah,etc.) that come around once in a lifetime that personify legendary. Even though legend truly is a disservice to someone like Prince because he transcended that word well beyond to the stratosphere. Nobody now has even 1/16th the talent that Prince possessed and it's a damn shame he's not here anymore to give his multitude of gifts to the world. I hope he's laughing in the Purple Rain wherever he is.
I have been to first ave for about 200 different bands over the years. This man literally put this this venue on the map. He's soo famous in the cities that people recognized his limousine over the years. What a fantastic artist, sad to see him gone. He always supported the scene in Minneapolis. Such a loss.
How can you not get inspired by him. My dad had the honor of meeting him in Thailand, back when he was touring. He said, hands down the coolest cat he had ever met. This is probably my all time favourite performance to watch. This is what music should be, drive emotion within you.
Im so jel! Im 25 and my mum got to meet him as well but i was too late but the only thing i have that will stay with me forever is i was born on the same day as Prince and im forever conected to him
This is the comment you leave when you know something prolific must be said after witnessing such an indescribably life changing performance, but as the tears insist that they must run down your face, and your heart is so moved, relentlessly dancing, and your mind is still so wrapped up in the epic experience...no... it was more than epic, it was spiritual, that it leaves you confounded & speechless! So you just sit & wait until your heart can come back down 2 earth so you can describe just how monumentally speechless you are! April 21, 2016...red & blue really did make purple, and I too hope 2 someday see them in the purple rain as well. 💜💜💜🌈🌦♊💜💜💜Until then....w-o-w.... thank u God, thank u
I remember that tv night, at 3:27 we all went crazy, it was the greatest performance ever on the Arsenio Hall show and a rare epic performance in tv history.
I love this performance of Purple Rain...I feel it's the best! And...he is ridiculously cute here...makes me want to go right through the screen...love the end...he was so shy, like I can't believe I did it and love how he blows on his guitar strings...I know those strings were hot, just like he was!
I really want to believe he went to live on some island to escape the fuckery of this world and not passed over. He was, is and always will be the love of my life!!! To hear him play this live is a night I will NEVER forget, ever. The tears just fell from my face. Legend!!!!!! God I miss him soooo much :'(
It's now 2019 and still watching this. I get him out of my head for a little while, but make my way back to him. Some of the best times of my life were the 80's and listening to Prince. I'm just going to go ahead and say it...I'm now 54...happily married, but Prince does something to me I can't explain, and I don't mean that in a dirty way...he just touches parts of my deep, inner soul...especially when I watch him sing and play that guitar...I don't know how to explain it really, but will say that he is truly missed!!
De departe, cea mai buna versiune si interpretare,fara egal,a acestei piese.O ascult si vizionez video ul, de mai multe ori la rand.Aplauze prelungite pt.PRINCE!
Incredible song all around but I LOVE to see him break off a piece on guitar after singing only the first part. The song was already like 10 years old when they did this, and you can tell how he perfected the chops for the lead. Just incredible.
Will be in love with him until I die. Fell in love with him the first time I ever saw him. Beautiful person with a beautiful soul. I know that there must be a rock n roll heaven. I hope to see him again when this life is over...
Reporter to Eric Clapton: “what’s it like being the best guitarist of all time?” Clapton: “I don’t know...ask Prince.” This is the best example of why the best recognise him as the best...👏👏👏
I heard an interview once where a former classmate of Prince said that everyone of his classmates knew he could play piano but he had never heard Prince play guitar until Purple Rain came out. If he played piano even half as well as he played the guitar ... wow!
the best version of this song without a doubt
William Hargraves Agreed!!💯
I agree too.
Absolutely
Indeed
Prince-Purple Rain Live Syracuse 1985
He plays the guitar like god himself taught him in that version
This is one guitar solo I just wish would never ever end..,.
Click on Prince: Syracuse in 1985, and you'll get all the solos you could possibly want...
True. Every time i hear this Guitar solo i Hope It never ends too. God of music!
My god that guitar solo is out of this world!!!
That solo just takes you away to another planet, unreal, it like he’s communicating to some other form of life , he is just pure genius in my books and always will!
I 10000% agree man!
I guess now we know what’s to be a virtuous like Mozart, Beethoven, etc. Divine being indeed.
purple rain 1hour long

Is Ludicrous

Prince was something else
Hands down best live performance of this song
I was never a huge Prince fan but like the odd song, including this one. When first saw this video years ago, I suddenly realised how amazingly talented he was and what an underrated guitar master he was too.
did i just cried over a guitar solo ???!!!!😢😢😭😭😭
I know I did
The super bowl video made me cry
Me too
i think we all need jisoos touched your soul man
i think we all need jisoos I for sure did.. All my childhood memories came with that solo.. 80's had so memories stuck in my head forever
One of the best versions of this song in my eyes, should be the official music video
Prince didn't fly too close to the sun, he flew directly into it.
💜...he IS THE SUN...& THEY ARE ONE...IN2 THE LIGHT...NOW THE END HAS BEGUN....💜
I love this version. Prince was a true Musikologist
Best guitarist ever to grace this world
@Jackson Bivens Slash, Van Halen, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Kurt Cobain, Joe Perry, etc
Ezra Mayhugh Kurt cobain is out of the list 😂😂
A mr Jimi Hendrix might argue with that one!!!
Relax.
Stevie ray Vaughan, Jeff Healey,Peter Green!!
Prince is the greatest all around musician of all times...But when it comes to the guitar he mastered it.Others can say they have or the critics can but prince actually mastered it

The King that they called Prince
Malin Gonzales 😢
Well, u know what they say.... you gotta be Prince b4 u can be King.
Prince Nelson is his real name
Salman rehman MJ didn’t play over 30 instruments.
@@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc yeah he only play piano
What a handsome man with the yellow guitar!!! I love you, Prince and you r still on ours hearts!

Infidel14? He was crazy genius
Yeah I never saw Eddie Van Halen doing many pirrouettes in heels, so of course Prince is better. Lol okay...
@@jonnuanez2843 are you mad? he never said Van Halen was bad, he just said what Prince did is insanely difficult lmfao.
you one of those "uhh prince wasnt that good i have to compare him hur dur" fuckwits, get lost lmfao you dont know shit
BIG, OLE, FACTS.
@@jonnuanez2843 He never said that you tuna melt.
This is the best one
beautiful,beautiful man,he ranks with Beethoven and Einstein they'll still be talking about Prince in two hundred years,now that's a legend...
prince is one hell of a guitarist he is in the top five of all time no questions about it.
Cosmoslogic so. proudly. agree.
Cosmoslogic, who are the other four? I thought I had listened to the greatest...Prince Rogers Nelson😊
I agree, but I don't think that's giving Prince enough credit. He's one of the best musicians of all time. He could play at least 27 instruments. He was truly a very special individual and a musical genius.
He was ranked 33 out of 100 by the rolling stone magazine
Who cares about Rolling Stone Magazine...Prince didn't when it came to judging his guitar talent...besides, those r just numbers...one can't place a number on talent, unless u want to put Prince in place #1...the best and most bad@@@ of all time!!
He was on a different level than everyone else. Rip Prince
The most rockin-sorrow song ever recorded!
He was not exclusively a guitarist but when he dared to play he was outstanding.
Prince was the perfect example, of the difference between good,,,, and what I'd call BEYOND "good". He was masterful.... and the difference was emotion, soul. That can't be taught. He was a natural.
Totally agree, Prince was a beautiful soul and shared with us.
Such talent, he gives it his all in this one. May he Rest In Peace, for he made us the lucky ones to be blessed by his music.

so true I miss prince and michael jackson more everyday
What I've realized is that Prince doesn't need recognition on guitar. He has a one word name. He done it
He really was one of if not the best guitar players ever
Also other instruments
BeSt live purple rain version!!!!!!

If anyone ever forgets just how brilliant Prince was they need to check this video out........its all there. the genius that was Prince
Гитарное соло огонь🔥, Принс очень большой талант. Помним и любим ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, Prince! We miss you more than ever in 2020, Brother! Thank you for the memories.
How can you not get inspired by him. My dad had the honor of meeting him in Thailand, back when he was touring. He said, hands down the coolest cat he had ever met. This is probably my all time favourite performance to watch. This is what music should be, drive emotion within you.

I'm just here for this guitar solo. The vocals were good, too.....I just love this solo.
If I want the vocals, I go over to Prince's Superbowl performance.
heyyyy Tricia!!!!
Prince thank you for being alive during my lifetime. One of best artists to have lived in 20th century
What a performance! Brilliant version. That spin near the end 😮

The BEST! Seriously.
This version is goosebumps all around...
He is one of the greatest off all times.
Never get tired of this song. He switches it up but never fails to give his best
There will never be another man that can sing like this
Betty P Nash so. hugely. agree.
They said that about Michael Jackson but Jeremy Perez can sing JUST like him
@@GamingMoose21 The Weeknd at times also sounds like Michael Jackson.
Betty P Nash Freddy Mercury....
A human being can't make this sound on guitar, only someone coming from another planet!
Just paying homage to one of the best musicians of my time! I listen to his solo to recharge my frequencies !💜
He was the greatest man alive opened the doors to African Americans into the rock genre. He's a true artist
so many emotions.. best live performance of this song..bravo prince
The guitar solo is out of this world!!
Some are born to be a doctor, a lawyer, or an athlete. Prince Rogers Nelson was born to be a star.
Incredible version!
There will never be another Prince. Such a lovely person and genius! XO thank you, Prince

I miss you Prince you always been my favorite Rock of Roll May your rest in piece
Butterfly Cannon mine. to. forever.
..soul....
In peace not in piece lol
I can't decide if I want this version or the superbowl purple rain played at my funeral! Ah, I guess I will have to have both played.
Amen!
Such an underrated guitarist. If you haven't already seen it, look "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" . He shows how good he really was.
Spectacular!!! So Much Talent... Packed Into So Little Time!!! Amen...
Amooo essa versão de purple rain , quando escuto sinto uma sensação inexplicável, choro de alma
Best performance ever. Such a complete and profound artist. A multi instrumentalist entertainer🎶🙏🎶👏
It's been over for minutes and I'm still shivering, holy purple that was incredible
Best performance, imo. I have no doubt
Yup! The best!
Who's the host?
bluetigeressemoon Arsenio! :)
Dave Bertoletti Thanx 😊
I really want to believe he went to live on some island to escape the fuckery of this world and not passed over. He was, is and always will be the love of my life!!! To hear him play this live is a night I will NEVER forget, ever. The tears just fell from my face. Legend!!!!!! God I miss him soooo much :'(
Thiago Jackson Very cool. Have subscribed to you :)

My favorite favorite version of Purple Rain . He put his heart and soul into that Guitar 🎸
the best performance !
thank you .
First video I’ve seen of him after he died, was crying like a baby watching this. Missing you dear greatest musician of our time :’(
This is AMAZING. Someone knows a remastered version? This solo is incredible
Bruce Dickinson i am searching for this live version on a dvd or mp3 iTunes? I would pay for that version you know anything?
Best version ever
Spinning while playing guitar, awesome!
Maaan.. no one can hit the guitar like him EVER, R.I.P king ❤
Prince was the best, no questions about it

Watching this on the 7 year anniversary of his death. Still so sad that he is gone, but will always treasure these great, great videos.

Gah if only there was a HD recording of this...

Joe Steen Indeed. I’m still grieving his passing.
Love the first vocal flick he does on raaain. Thanks for keeping this up!!
This is the best live version
Che grande chitarrista che era prince qui fa un assolo fantastico
Will be in love with him until I die. Fell in love with him the first time I ever saw him. Beautiful person with a beautiful soul. I know that there must be a rock n roll heaven. I hope to see him again when this life is over...

Omg. He even bowed to his guitar in the end. Prince💜
I cry for Prince
That guitar gets me every time, I could listen all night to it. It lifts all my worries of the times we are in.
The very best version of this song, the precision and energy in the guitar play is astounding ❤
Amazing artist. Great version plus he looks at his best. No artist out today even close to his talent. Artistic genius
This performance was magical ✨
Beautiful. Everything PRINCE
Essa é sem sombra de dúvidas a melhor apresentação a melhor versão da Purple eu amo
Concordo demais com cada palavra do seu comentário! Impressionante! ❤🔥
Beyond phenomenal, in tears! ❤️
never realised how good Prince was !
Stuck in elevator ... go electric abby
I'm not crying... you're crying
I dont understand why this version isnt the top viewed
iirc this video is a reupload. The previous video had larger views, but was taken down for some reason.
I heard an interview once where a former classmate of Prince said that everyone of his classmates knew he could play piano but he had never heard Prince play guitar until Purple Rain came out. If he played piano even half as well as he played the guitar ... wow!
