      Prince because my favorite artist of all time from the first moment I heard his music back in 1980. While I believe he was a good guitarist at first who became great, I don’t think he is the greatest ever. Saying who that really is, is a tough thing to begin with. I think he deserves to be in the conversation again because of how great I think he became over the years.

      I have to respectfully disagree:
      ua-cam.com/video/lElCzhjiPX8/v-deo.html
      It was pouring at half-time, and when the producers talked to Prince before he went out, they were nervous about the rain. Prince asked "Can you make it rain harder?"
      Man was a legend.

    Today is 03/16/24. Almost 40 years to the day of this performance. I remember it like it was yesterday, I was 10 years old. My sister won tickets to this show on the radio and she chose me to go with her. It was pure magic. There was so much love and emotion in that stadium it was absolutely amazing. There were no wars, no fights, no bickering or arguing amongst anyone, nothing but love... No other artist brought so many people of so many different cultures together like Prince did... You will forever be missed Prince Rogers Nelson

I also love drinking and smoking with yall in convo where alot of you say things like what you stated. Because I always wonder what fan of a certain subgenre will think of "this" or "that". In this case, what a metal fan thinks of Prince. As far as musicianship goes, Prince is an above average standard. Alot of us can play more than 1 instrument but to do it on the level of Prince......even RARER.

    This such an underrated performance of Purple Rain, it's always the Super Bowl or the movie. His voice was so young in this one, 16-minutes of magic on earth.

      I was thinking the same, the raw vocal power at this age is something else paired with his willingness to guitar jam during a live concert, a transcendent and mesmerizing performance

    Men like Prince and MJ were so unbelievably talented. Its hard to wrap ur mind around the fact that someone could be this gifted. How lucky are we that we have a time capsule in our pockets where we can whenever look up these masterpieces in seconds. I woulda loved to see this live though. Rest in power Prince 💜

    I'm honestly in awe this video doesn't have over a Billion views. It's quite easily one of the top 10 live performances of any single song in recorded history. That man's soul was on display.

      It probably does, overall. It's had been uploaded and taken down so many times prior to Prince's passing that there is no telling what the real number of views is.
