I may be wrong but I don't think there is a set in stone type studio version of this song other than the movie soundtrack but that even has the live stage sound.....If there isn't a studio version that to me is just another brilliant move by Prince!
Yes, there isn't a standard studio version and the "official" version is a live recording, although with edits and overdubs - somebody took the pleasure of annotating it for us here ua-cam.com/video/frbVVDAyJ1w/v-deo.html. Then there are rehearsals, the most beautiful of which may be the Take #3 here ua-cam.com/video/ZgXAVE-UU5U/v-deo.html.
To see my former friend, John Blackwell, behind the drums…fulfilling his lifelong goal of being a world touring drummer with a A1 band… it breaks my heart…to know that John AND prince are no longer with us… when I was at school ( Berklee school of music, Boston, Massachusetts)) I used to sit directly next to John…he was on scholarship from Columbia, sc…to see him fulfill his musical dreams with prince is why I’ll play music til the day that I die…may John and prince rest in peace . I hope that his daughter Jia , is getting all the love and support that she needs and deserves…unbelievable purple rain rendition. Peace.
The epitome of excellence. The only song that brings back my youth and can drop me to my knees and know that we have just witnessed the greatest song of all time. RIP prince you have done God's work here on esrth
You are a lucky man to met John personally. He was one of the best drummers I ever heared in my live. We are all lucky to join the best musicians in centuries. Prince is one of them too!
This was 2011, who knew we would only have him 5 more years. This coming Wednesday would have been his 65th birthday. Happy Birthday Your Royal Badness❤
❤❤❤ I would love to see PRINCE teaching others especially children all about music 🎶 instruments and the business of real music 🎶 And of course about life and living with focused minds👏🏽 Dr. PRINCE RODGERS NELSON 👏🏽🕊️🕊️💜 PROFESSOR OF MUSIC 🎶💜
I saw Prince sing this song at the Super Bowl. In his Blue outfit he performed as it rained. He nor his dancers never skipped a beat. It was as if the skies opened & rained as a part of the show W Incredible!!! RIP Prince 💔 13:22
Mr John Blackwell on the drums 💜. He passed away about a year after Prince from a brain tumour. This video shows a few nice close-up action shots of him. Rest in peace to both greats who contributed so much to music.
A beautiful moment 12mins 40 secs, how genuinely happy he was in that moment … just priceless. Over 7 years later and it still hurts so much - and I think it always will.
Mortality is inevitable. Weve had great legends pass on and we just accept and cherish the sweet and ever lasting memories- play their songs whenever we feel like which puts a smile on our faces and enjoy the moment. BUT PRINCE is the only one I wish were still alive. Cant explain in words the feeling. Miss this legend so much.😢❤
The same for us. Two days ago I had a dream in wich Prince was at my house, playing with us and beeing cheerful, treating us as friends. I can't describe with words the feeling of total disappointment and sadness I got when I woke up.
@@TheBearBiffo Oh yes, that version is mind-blowing, It was March 30th 85 I'm a bit of an insomniac so every night I listen to this version all 20 minutes of it and that solo, nothing comes close
Really? I only just found this guy, and I am 38 - never heard of him all through my life (I am Australian), and his voice isn't really interesting, the music is pretty simple..... I do not see why he is so popular? Heaps of better singers
@sonicsabbath You are so wrong. Prince is regarded as one of the greatest artists ever. He wrote, produced, composed and played all instruments on the vast majority of his huge catalog. Do a deep dive. Educate yourself on Prince. Some great songs to start with are, Joy in repetition, Adore, I could never take the place of your man. And many more. Peace
@@kevineden4028 Had a listen to some of his other stuff, and that is much better than this. But certainly not the best music I have ever heard - in my own opinion. Also, many musicians can play a plethora of instruments, that is nothing unique. Bill Bailey would be the best musician ever if you are going to use that as the measuring stick. For actual music, I would put Jimi Hendrix above Prince easily.
He have the power to make all the people in the stadium high as a kite just with his guitar 🎸 very powerful energy , you will be amazed how far music can control you .
This is the closest example of the spiritual experience seeing Prince live on a Great night with a great crowd !! Experienced it at the Rio Las Vegas for Free. Having walked in through the out door lol Great Show. If you've experienced what I'm talking about you know. If not I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Best Guitar Player in History. Once you hear HIM live you'll never forguet and need to come back to his guitar play , just forever . Healing force. Genius.
I can think of ten guitar players in two seconds who were better. Most massively overhyped guitarist ever. He was good, but the way his fans go on is ridiculous.
@@sillysausage4549 It's funny that every time u all try to argue that Prince isn't a genius as a guitarist, instead of facts, you always rely on the Fan concept. It makes me laugh.And always, coincidentally, these comments tend to come from frustrated guitar players.
I saw him on this tour. Hands down the best concert I’ve ever been too. As a professional guitarist Prince was one of my biggest influences. Seeing him play live was a dream come true.
@@miguelruiz8183 I wish he got more credit for how great of a player he was. Even some great players I know didn’t realize how unbelievable he was on guitar.
35 years and counting I am a total worshipper of this man and his gift and I am stunned at this performance.There will never be another like him.Never!!
@mrkp7400, I also loved Prince and still cry about his so called death, but an adult that admits to worshipping a man is really weird. He didn't want to be worshipped and stated many times in interviews. The Industry is evil and demonic. So you worshipped Satan?🤔🤔🤔🤔
One regret I have is never seeing Prince live in concert. For all you youngsters out there, if you love something or someone, do whatever it takes to keep her. As you get older you will regret it for the rest of your life. ❤
@@missy652and the foundations are based off Prince’s admiration for the guitar work of Neal Schon of Journey. After you listen to this, listen to “faithfully”.
Wow, my goodness absolutely incredible footage. The big smile near the end there… Prince so knew they had delivered with distinction on what is perhaps his most epic song!
We lost so many Legends to pharmaceutical drug addiction! I remember seeing him perform rock N roll hall of fame I was sooooooooo pissed I didnt know he could play like that and started to pay attention to him as a musician and glad i did. Real Artist, real Legend!
I saw Prince live in 1984 on the Purple Rain tour-in Landover, Md. I have seen a lot of artists but without a doubt this was the best performance I have ever seen in person. My God, this version I’m watching now is the best version I’ve ever seen or heard!! My God I miss this man with all my heart! A musical masterpiece!!
Well... I mean... you know... just WOW. Every time I think I've heard all of the versions of this song and have my favorite one, another version comes along that just blows me away. R.I.P. to Prince & R.I.P. to his drummer John Blackwell.
I went to school at Berklee, school of music, Boston. I consider John Blackwell as the best drummer who ever lived. I’ve seen buddy rich play, when I was young…John was stronger. I credit John as the best drummer who ever lived. I sat next to him in a class called “ Ear training “… I always knew , in my soul, he was going to reach the big stage… and I was right…rip…John Blackwell, and prince…
I've always been asked...who would you like to see live?...most definitely Prince...he was a beautiful musician. Energy is everything and he had it in all his music and live connecting to the crowed...fukin beautiful 🔥🫳⚘️🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
I'm so happy there's a version of this online that shows the crowd sing for this man, and I mean REALLY sing that shit for Prince. Kudo's to ya Inglewood! I feel like that's all he wanted. Watch him at 12:30, that's all that man wanted when he was up there with his guitar, for us to sing his song with him, on beat, and let him do the rest...now everyone sings it for him. What a gift.
Prince was and is the Peter Pan of Jazz Latin Rock Funk Fusion He is music and he is one of the finest guitar players ever. Its not about how fast you can play or how technical you are or how many modes chords or styles you know playing music is about how you use what you have to its full extent and pierce the veins of your listeners with a soulful deep and hypnotic tone that surges through your body like nothing else.
I've never cried in my life to Purple Rain, this was the first. My breakup yesterday didn't help either. Mr Prince, indeed nothing compares 2 u. All praise and glory 2 God 4 this man.
I dont know how, but Prince plays always the right notes to fit the music. No tricks and licks to show off. But if it fits the music, i could play it all. Styles like funk, jazz, blues and dirty rock. So much talent
I would give a kidney to see two songs performed live: Purple Rain Comfortably Numb Every single live performance of these 2 songs is a unique journey. Different details, buildup, guitar solo etc. Amazing. Brilliant rendition by the way. One of the best here on UA-cam.
It's simply fantastic how Prince has developed Purple Rain over the years without changing the shine of the song. A genius left us far too soon. I can hear you pal 🥰
He was a phenomenal song writer! It’s sad and tragic how the extremely talented artists do themselves in…Prince, Michael Jackson, Elvis. They left us far too soon.
Prince one of the greatest artist I’ve known in my lifetime and I’ve lived a long time.. I feel in love with him and I still love him his music will always live in my heart forever. His voice and music still make me cry! Love him
Wow. I saw Prince live probably 20 times between 1984 and the end. This is among the best I've ever seen -- and it['s YT vid. The supreme -- warranted in spades --- confidence, the closeups on his face while grinding out his guitar work, John Blackwell's superb, controlled power. That exit. Wow.
i saw the movie at age 24, while teaching and being in a top local band in Atlanta. The movie inspired me soooo much. i headed to LA. then Miami. im still entertaining ad a top artist at 63. This song is awesome but! the movie version can NEVER be erased from my mind. Prince was and will always be the greatest.
The sight of him& his voice everything about him always put me in a perfect world I'm 76 years old but I miss him so bad I got all his music!! God bless, RIP❤❤

They are, they are! Prince could not perform in front of God without his best drummer! 💜
The epitome of excellence. The only song that brings back my youth and can drop me to my knees and know that we have just witnessed the greatest song of all time. RIP prince you have done God's work here on esrth
You are a lucky man to met John personally. He was one of the best drummers I ever heared in my live. We are all lucky to join the best musicians in centuries. Prince is one of them too!
Ladies and Gentleman. In this clip you can see one of the best artist and guitar player ever.
La mejor síntesis de la música en el siglo! Lo black, lo pop, el rock, el jazz, la beleza, la voz y su presencia on the stage. For ever Prince!
Perhaps, it´s not the best clip, but in the rest you're right. Very right.
Him and Gilmore
Commmmmm certeza eu amoooooo esse príncipe
Forty years later, and this song still gives me goosebumps and I get all emotional. The greatest song ever written by the greatest artist ever.
Same and you speak for so many of my friends- 80s kids
I can listen to him sing this song. But man oh man I cry watching him sing this. I guess you could say this is in the top 5 Prince song
💯
Same here. I've listened to this version several times with many months in between.
I had to stop what I was doing and watch and listen and cry and wish this precious man had not left.
Sometimes you do not appreciate the genius of someone until you don't have them anymore,
What an experience. For sure no one left that arena that night the same person as they walked in.
This is peak music. I’d give anything to have seen this live. RIP Prince. Your gift lives on.
Don't be sad he's gone. Be happy he was here at all 🙏
What a star rip Mr Prince wow
He just oozed class, style and genius. Didn't even look like he had to try. Absolute one off. RIP Prince.
Might be one of the best songs ever written. IMO.
It's gotta be top 5 at least.
Might be thee best!
Definitely a orchestral masterpiece bar none
And they said that perfection is impossible....... legends never die. 💜💜
This was 2011, who knew we would only have him 5 more years. This coming Wednesday would have been his 65th birthday. Happy Birthday Your Royal Badness❤
I would love to hear him perform now.
Miss him sooo much ❤ he is June 7 ... i m June 8 .. so many years making my b day party @ 7 just for him.
❤❤❤ I would love to see PRINCE teaching others especially children all about music 🎶 instruments and the business of real music 🎶
And of course about life and living with focused minds👏🏽
Dr. PRINCE RODGERS NELSON 👏🏽🕊️🕊️💜 PROFESSOR OF MUSIC 🎶💜
I saw one of those Inglewood shows. Legendary.
I saw Prince sing this song at the Super Bowl. In his Blue outfit he performed as it rained. He nor his dancers never skipped a beat. It was as if the skies opened & rained as a part of the show
W Incredible!!!
RIP Prince 💔 13:22
The hard work to achieve maximum potential like this no longer exists.
I totally agree
Mr John Blackwell on the drums 💜. He passed away about a year after Prince from a brain tumour. This video shows a few nice close-up action shots of him. Rest in peace to both greats who contributed so much to music.
A beautiful moment 12mins 40 secs, how genuinely happy he was in that moment … just priceless. Over 7 years later and it still hurts so much - and I think it always will.
Prince is untouchable, no one gets close
SAY IT ONE MO TIME !!!!!!!!
I say it . Prince forever.@@arlenewilkerson723
Sound quality on the whole concert is amazing, his mike sounds super crystal clear
Yeah Mike’s a cool guy
Mortality is inevitable. Weve had great legends pass on and we just accept and cherish the sweet and ever lasting memories- play their songs whenever we feel like which puts a smile on our faces and enjoy the moment. BUT PRINCE is the only one I wish were still alive. Cant explain in words the feeling. Miss this legend so much.😢❤
The same for us. Two days ago I had a dream in wich Prince was at my house, playing with us and beeing cheerful, treating us as friends. I can't describe with words the feeling of total disappointment and sadness I got when I woke up.
I know exactly what you mean. 💜
Ahhh Prince. The best songwriter/ lyricist to date. Purple Rain will be etched in our memories forever. I still can't believe you're gone 😢❤
Just when you thought you'd seen every version. Incredible!
the way he commanded the audience to listen to what he had to say, and watch his every move, is unheralded still today.
This is real magic in real life, seriously... if you were born before 1980... this is the definition of magic in real life.
Born in ‘99 definitely my definition of Perfection as well brother 🔥🔥
Born in 1955, I recognized the early hint of musical genius and the subsequent confirmation.
Born in 2006, true magic
appreciating talent respect
I'm vintage 1949 but I recognized this one before he became what was considered a star I knew PRINCE WAS A GIFTED STAR✨⭐💜🕊️🕊️
I have heard purple rain many many times. But this version seems to stand out. Love for Prince. Prince loved us all. Thank you. ❤️
There are so many different, great versions. The one from Syracuse in I think 84 is my favorite. Stupendous solo. Still gives me goosebumps.
@@TheBearBiffo Oh yes, that version is mind-blowing, It was March 30th 85
I'm a bit of an insomniac so every night I listen to this version all 20 minutes of it and that solo, nothing comes close
Love this version and the Milan version
I haven’t heard many versions, but this was so beautiful 💜
The Syracuse version is epic
Beautiful to see thousands of people together joining in good times instead of hate. Miss you Prince. You were truly a genuine artist/person
😢😢😮❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Only one race has a history of hate
Oh yes 😥🥰❤️
Excellent comment. He brought LOVE. The only thing that matters….
Amazing. What a loss to the music industry, we miss you Prince.
💜I REGRET NOT SEEING PRINCE PREFORM LIVE🕊️
I was lucky to see him about 6 months before he died. He's the God of music
me too
My modest opinion, most gifted artist of all
Rip legend

What the fuck ...me too !
'I like to hear your Voices' Beautiful Prince always including the Crowd so polite😘❤🎹🎤
I was a kid when prince was on top of the charts here in Australia. Now I’m 55 years old, I can finally see how talented the man was
I'm 52 and was a fan since I was 13 and a wee immigrant lad living in Ireland!

Epic version ! He is a complete master on the stage, so beautiful to see.
The greatest Super Bowl halftime show in history and second is not even close!❤We miss you Prince!

Ты не предстовляеш как я рад
Bravo Tokuro, bellissime parole ❤

I think we will never get this level of musical concert ever…the artists and the crowd both amazing…such a amazing magic
THE GREATEST LIVE VERSION 🙌 ❤❤😢

That’s deep Mike good advice though.
Me too. That is why I am going to see Madonna on 3/28 in Houston, Texas ❤
the best intro and guitar solo ever
One of the best blues tune ever written. And one of the finest guitar players.

Lol, no Purple Rain is a spiritual song. Actually a prayer for communion with God and for a lost love to discover.
gospel music

Sadly we will never get to see him as a statesman. He was an awesome performer in every respect.
Nothing like him Musical genius, songwriter, best Dancer EVER! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤i love him
The best performance ever!!!
That's OUR local musician... can't help but get emotional about all that he brought to this world. Glad we could share him with y'all.

This blew me away and I went to the Purple Rain concert back in the 80s! Amazing! I still can’t believe he’s gone.
I saw the Purple Rain tour in Syracuse NY at the Carrier Dome. It was an amazing show
Thank you Prince.
You are the best. Why God? Why?Rip
That smile at the end….beautiful, so sincere 💜🩵💛
Well... I mean... you know... just WOW. Every time I think I've heard all of the versions of this song and have my favorite one, another version comes along that just blows me away. R.I.P. to Prince & R.I.P. to his drummer John Blackwell.
Set on replay STILL. There will NEVER be another PRINCE and now he's the KING. 👑
Seeing Prince and John Blackwell in frame together in this video several times is just a gut punch. Miss both of these legends so much!

Best song to experience period. As a kid I left the theater and didn't know whether to get a girlfriend or get right with God, or both 🙂
Inesquecível Prince, talentoso, genial, enfim o cara.
Absolutely astonishing showman and guitarist and singer . Truly awesome
I've always been asked...who would you like to see live?...most definitely Prince...he was a beautiful musician. Energy is everything and he had it in all his music and live connecting to the crowed...fukin beautiful 🔥🫳⚘️🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
I'm so happy there's a version of this online that shows the crowd sing for this man, and I mean REALLY sing that shit for Prince. Kudo's to ya Inglewood! I feel like that's all he wanted.

I regret not going to one of his concerts before he passed :/
SAME HERE!
He didn't want you to go any way
Prince was and is the Peter Pan of Jazz Latin Rock Funk Fusion He is music and he is one of the finest guitar players ever.

No more words.....❤❤❤
You need to add swag and cool to that list lol
The best then.. now… 4-ever

I've never cried in my life to Purple Rain, this was the first. My breakup yesterday didn't help either.
Mr Prince, indeed nothing compares 2 u. All praise and glory 2 God 4 this man.

I dont know how, but Prince plays always the right notes to fit the music. No tricks and licks to show off. But if it fits the music, i could play it all. Styles like funk, jazz, blues and dirty rock. So much talent
When he said, "Let me play this guitar" we said YES
I would give a kidney to see two songs performed live:

Every single live performance of these 2 songs is a unique journey. Different details, buildup, guitar solo etc. Amazing.
Brilliant rendition by the way. One of the best here on UA-cam.

THE best Performance.... Prince ‼️‼️‼️I Love you so much ❤❤❤😍😍😍🎸🎸🎸
He was a genius 🙏 still miss him 😞
He was a phenomenal song writer!
It’s sad and tragic how the extremely talented artists do themselves in…Prince, Michael Jackson, Elvis. They left us far too soon.
so true and I miss prince and michael more everyday
We only get a glimpse.
I miss Prince and Tom Petty.
@timothysnow4107 privileged that he chose to share his creations with us. Truly a privilege to live during his time.
Don't delete. This is great. I saw this same concert in Vancouver.
I saw Prince at the o2 in London in 2007. Fantastic gig and he was without, a doubt a total genius who will never be surpassed.
masterpiece is the only word you can use, what a showman as well, perfection that we'll never see again.
The coolest human ever!
Was so happy to have been able to see this concert and another time before…he’s thee best performer of all time…there will never be another Prince 💜
Oh, Barbie!! You are so lucky! So happy for you girl!
Prince one of the greatest artist I’ve known in my lifetime and I’ve lived a long time.. I feel in love with him and I still love him his music will always live in my heart forever. His voice and music still make me cry! Love him
He's great, was great and will always be one of the greatest, just a shame he wasn't as appreciated for how great he was untill after he died.

Wow. I saw Prince live probably 20 times between 1984 and the end. This is among the best I've ever seen -- and it['s YT vid. The supreme -- warranted in spades --- confidence, the closeups on his face while grinding out his guitar work, John Blackwell's superb, controlled power. That exit. Wow.
Awesome, Awesome, much respect, Prince still ranks ❤
Thanks youtube for an ad right before his solo. Brilliant 😢.
World's not been the same since he left. Rest easy Prince...
Really?
i saw the movie at age 24, while teaching and being in a top local band in Atlanta. The movie inspired me soooo much. i headed to LA. then Miami. im still entertaining ad a top artist at 63. This song is awesome but! the movie version can NEVER be erased from my mind. Prince was and will always be the greatest.
Such a spiritual man.
The sight of him& his voice everything about him always put me in a perfect world I'm 76 years old but I miss him so bad I got all his music!! God bless, RIP❤❤
This is amazing! I couldn’t wait for him to rip into that guitar solo. Legendary stuff right here that we will probably never experience again.
