    Prince was on stage the whole time. Just at the other end. Right before this Prince was left off the best 100 guitar player list. He proved them wrong.

    That was the baddest FU to the Rolling Stone Magazine judges that left him out of the top 100 guitarist of all time. Alot of them were in the audience. He hadn't really practiced the performance with the band. He learned the song when the promoter sent it to hotel room for him to hear.

    This guitar solo almost never happened. The producers came up with the idea for Prince to join the tribute with Petty and the boys.
    Out of respect and approval they asked Harrison's widow if she would be ok with it. She said No, she only wanted people on stage that actually knew George personally. They tried one more time and this time with back-up, Tom Petty. This time she said ok.
    There was no rehearsal of Prince's solo. However, Prince did show up for the first rehearsal but didn't play. They weren't sure how to fit him in with Marc Mann being the lead guitarist. Tom Petty suggested to Prince that he could do the guitar solo on the outro and Marc do the shorter solos in the middle. Prince said ok and left. The next time members of the tribute saw him was 20mins before taking stage. Nobody knew what he was going to do so it was a first time everybody on stage, in the audience and people watching from home. The "guitar fling" was planned and one of the handlers in front of the stage caught it. Prince directed them to deliver it to Oprah but she declined. She said she wasn't worthy which is kinda weird to me. The young man on stage enjoying Prince is Dhani Harrison, George's only son.

I had known Prince in the 80s as a pop star, and it never dawned on me that he could just rip a riff the way he did. here. From the back lean to the Guitar Fling it was one of the most masterful performance, and there were so many MASTERS on that stage.

    Fantastic video, fantastic reaction, #guitarflung . I wont even say "if you liked this one" because I know you did but you should check out th Concert for George (2002), it was amazing. Now for some knowledge drop. George wasnt jus "A Beatle", he was also a member of the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys along with Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan so surviving members were always around to honor George. I know you listed Dhani Harrison in the description but in this video, he's the young man up front next to Tom Petty. He is George Harrisons only child and he looks just like his dad. As for timelines, George passed away in 2001, they did the Concert for George on the 1 year anniversary of his death in 2002 and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (this video) March 2004.

    Obviously you recognise Tom Petty but just behind him and to his left is DHANI HARRISON (George’s son and his spitting image)😊 George was posthumously inducted into the RARHOF on this night in 2004 as a solo artist/songwriter/musician having been inducted as s member of The Beatles years earlier.
    The bearded singer sharing vocals with TP is ELO’s Jeff Lynne. 😊

      It was a telecaster made by Hohner.
      It was their verson which actually was co engineered by one of the original creators of the Fender Tele.
      So it us by EVERY definition a Tele just different manufacturing with copyrights authority to do so as well.
      There were only about 1200 of them made i believe..
      The original version had piss poor PUPs they were replaced by Prince and some othe electronics were replaced as well.
      He had a few remade because ironically, due to very few ever being made, he kept getting them damaged or stolen or the tossing them in the air damaged quite a few in his 40 year career...

Prince is music, his instrument is just an extension of what he feels, and he leaves in every mistake, because he wants you to feel his authenticity, if they didn’t want to overshadow the inductee, they should not have invited Prince, because that is all he can be, is Prince, he is the music, and if they hadn’t seen any of his live performances, they should have asked somebody, Prince does not suppress his heartbeat (music) for money power and fame, he understands who he is, and he doesn’t hide it, so if they didn’t want someone to play so well, they should have found someone else, it’s not like he needed the money, or the exposure, he was being inducted in himself that night, so they should have found someone else if this was a problem.
