      Thank you for your sweet comment. My sister was a personal friend of George's back in the 70's and worked, I believe for Apple Records. We were Beatlemaniacs and saw them in concert in 65!! When I see Dhani it is bittersweet- so sad that George passed away, and so grateful that his "twin-son" is continuing his Father's beautiful, spiritual legacy. This song is greatly overlooked in musical history. Love to the Harrison family. 🎸🎶🎙🎵 🤗🙏💙

      Any kind of "rating" or "ranking" in the world of art is pure BS. There isn't an objective way to measure art. There barely is a way to categorize music based on style, and we still argue whether certain songs belong "more to that style than the other".

    Steve Winwood was the one playing the organ, and is considered one of if not the best ever at playing rock organ. He's been playing for a long time, starting in the 60s with Traffic and Blind Faith, and had a strong solo career during the 80s. You've probably heard his songs "Back in the High Life Again" and "Higher Love."

    That solo was Prince giving Rolling Stone Magazine the middle finger for not naming him in the top 100 guitar artists earlier that week.

      My issue is that Prince should have found a different time and place to show the magazine how he felt about the snub. This was a tribute to George Harrison and he should have kept his part in it, respectful. Everyone knows that he had quite an ego and he was definitely eccentric, but this crossed a line, IMO. Don't get me wrong... I've always liked Prince and I think he was an amazingly talented artist, but this little show of vengence and spite should not have been brought into a tribute to ANY other artist - not just Harrison. It left a sour taste in the mouths of many people, including a lot of lifelong Prince fans.

Martin Scorsese released a documentary on the affair in 1978 that is just great with performances by Neil Young, Neil Diamond, The Staple Singers, Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some more.
      Also, JIC you're unaware, there's a 1978 flick called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band starring Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees as the titular band with performances by Billy Preston, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and even Steve Martin and George Burns, all doing Beatles tunes. More recently there was a 2007 musical Across The Universe, just full of Beatles references and comprised of nothing but Beatles tunes performed by actors who can really sing.

      Harrison's widow didn't really want him there, Prince wasn't a personal friend. He didn't rehearse because it wasn't 100% certain that he was going to even be ON; notice how they kept him sidelined until the end? You can go back and forth on who was disrespecting who until the cows come home, but the point is, Prince _respected_ George, and he turned very tense behind-the-scenes into a moment to shine. Tom Petty was a consummate professional, improvising with just bits of the chorus when Prince kept going.

    When Prince threw his guitar that was a metaphorical "mic drop"! He was so underappreciated as a guitarist, one of the best (IMO). The guy on the acoustic guitar to the right of Tom Petty was Dhani Harrison, George Harrison's son. Steve Winwood (from the bands Traffic and Blind Faith, also had a solo career with hits like Higher Love) was on the keyboard, Marc Mann (guitarist from ELO) played the other solos before Price joined in. According to lore, Prince's tech caught the guitar he threw and delivered it (per Prince's instructions) to Oprah. It is now interred in Prince’s Paisley Park (Prince's former home and studio), which is basically a tour destination for fans now.

      Thank you! I knew I recognised the other guitarist but couldn't remember his name or place him and no one was even mentioning him. Personally I preferred the sound of his guitar over Princes. Princes is quite a scratchy/screechy sound. I also don't get everyone's immense praise to him for this performance because if you break it down it wasn't anything particularly special or difficult for any good guitarist. Don't get me wrong it was a really good solo but almost all the comments are people going nuts for this when there are way better ones out there and the other guitarist (Marc Mann) was frankly just as good; they were just different. Sometimes the tone and beautifully placed notes are far superior to super fast technical solos (like from "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" or "From This Moment", short but beautiful).

Prince just didn’t play the part during the rehearsal, as Jeff Lynn’s guitarist accidentally cut him off when Prince’s part came up, as he had been practicing playing the original solo note-for-note and got lost in the moment. Prince didn’t want to stop the rehearsal, as he was actually very humble, according to Tom Petty.

      Finally, I find someone who doesn’t bow to the altar of Prince. This was set up by his friends and peers, and Prince was neither . However, since Prince was being inducted into the Hall of Fame that same year, the producer of the show wanted him. There was tension during the rehearsals, but prince kept quiet. Dhani Harrison was strategically placed due to the tension with the other band members. Prince went rogue. A lot of the other members of the band weren’t happy. I did see a clip one time where Dhani was asked his thoughts on the solo and his response was “It was a bit too much”. Overtime and with the passing of Prince, Dhani has softened his thoughts on the subject.

    Steve Winwood, playing the Hammond B3 organ, is a British musician who was a member of 3 masterful bands, beginning when he was only 16 years old. First, blues band The Spencer Davis Group, then Traffic and Blind Faith. Steve can play almost every instrument, but usually leads on the B3 organ or guitar. He became a huge solo star in the 1980's with songs like "While You See a Chance" , "Back in the High Life Again", "Higher Love" - #1 on Billboard, and "Roll With It" in 1988. Please look at "Gimmie Some Lovin" and "I'm a Man", then from Traffic, "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" and "Dear Mr. Fantasy".

George was also besties with Jeff Linde and Tom Petty who were also in the Traveling Willburys with George. Dhani was 16 when his dad died and Tom took him under his wing a bit to help Dhani with some of the diminished chords that George was famous for. George had already taught Dhani how to play and he is good! He looks so much like his dad here at maybe 17? Not sure when they did this. George was 15 when he joined the Beatles!

People heard his pop songs on the radio but had no idea how prolific he was on drums, piano, bass, electric and acoustic guitar and 20 other instruments. He could (and did) make entire albums by himself. He had so much output he had to release songs under different monikers like The Time, Vanity 6, Appolonia 6, The Family & others. He made songs that would be released by Sheila E, Sheena Easton, Sinead O'Connor, The Bangles, Kenny Rogers, No Doubt, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Cindy Lauper, Alicia Keys, Jill Jones, Mazerati, Tevin Campbell & Mavis Staples. He produced songs for people under alter egos like Jamie Starr, Alexander Nevermind, Joey Coco and Christopher. The man was just built different. A true musical genius in every sense with a falsetto that makes everything wet. Good god!
