I've told folks on many occasions, Prince's band members (all of them starting with the Revolution) are a MUST in true tribute. These folks worked with the Purple Maestro and know his techniques. They are the only ones who can come close to his sound. This clip proves my point. You can "almost" see Prince grinning from ear-to-ear on those solos. As for myself, I am in tears (again) at the beautiful music and far reaching impact Prince left us
Thank you for beautiful performance 🎵🎼🎷🎶💐🌷👍🌺
Played his heart and soul out into that song and nailed it
Wow! Not only did I get goose bumps, but shed some purple tears as well. Bravo Sir! Well played.
The band provides just the right level of accompaniment to the sax soloist. #AWESOME
Absolutely beautiful tribute 😢 brought tears.
Congrats to all FAMU Grads. We're very proud of you. HBCU Pride!
I think purple rain just dripped down my screen....FREAKING AMAZING!
Outstanding! Who better to play the tribute than a former Prince band member!!! AWESOME...
That was amazing. I literally got chills.
Now THAT'S a tribute! Joy of the music, pain of loss and deep gratitude for the gift from God that was Prince!
Wow the sax and the audience as Prince's voice -- the ONLY 'voices' that could truly honor him. because nothing compares 2 prince's voice and emotional presentation of this song. yes definitely Bravo and beautiful!
WOW! Simply WOW! In tears once again for you Sweet Prince 😥💜💔☮
Wow such a beautiful tribute.. He always loved the sax.. I read he even tried to learn how to play it ..but I imagine was hard on his lungs maybe.. either way this is the kind of tribute I'm sure he would've loved and does... looking from the afterworld. Too hear this player wail and the spontaneous singers brings chills. So emotional.. !
