Prince was one of those guitarist that most folk didn't realize how good he actually was..He was a brilliant guitarist, He had this very distinctive sound and quality to his playing that distinguishes him from other guitarist..He could play at full facility whilst singing passionately on the mic without even looking at his fretboard..A mark of a exceptional guitarist...
Prince was litterally out of this world talented. He would record an album in an afternoon. The Purple rain solo on the record is actually a live recording he judged was good enough for the album version: his first take or draft was usually the one he would go with cause he was just that good. Its not raining heavily (yet!) in this clip but later on its pouring. When the organisers told him about upcoming rain during the performance he asked if there was any way to get it to rain more, for performance drama. Hes a legend and the Chuck Norris of music, unbeatable.
There's nothing that Prince did that Jimi Hendrix didn't do before or could not have done better. Prince was a very gifted practitioner of the guitar in the way that Hendrix played it. He was not an originator
Super Bowl, Monsoon level rain falling, a platform of your own symbol, elevating songs from other artists; This is the most ROCKSTAR thing I’ve ever seen...🏆
Earlier that day, the halftime show producer called Prince and asked him if he was okay about the rain. Prince's response: "Can you make it rain harder?"
I have a dream before I die. That dream is they find a full cover of All Along the Watch Tower by Prince, somewhere in the bottom of that vault of his. It has to be there.
@@michaelclyburn5858 Yeah, Dylan's notes and lyrics, but Hendrix's vocal and musical twist on it. Then again, Bob Dylan is already immortalized in the history as it is.
The Greatest Musical Genius of all time! No one can come close to him. He remains forever absolutely irreplaceable and unbeatable! God took extra time and extra effort when creating Prince.🌟💜🍀
@@MrBroderickg14 I know! Genius too. Barry White my fav. There were few Legends that were on such level, but what Prince could do all was surreal, really. :D
Because of Prince I know the Foo Fighters. I'll never get tired of this cover or their entire body of work. That intro and all along the Watchtower!! #countIT
He made guitar cry, laugh, he made love with guitar..man was such genius no one could do what he did (Jimmy Hendrix with guitar), but his vocal range was insane too. I mean Prince was surreal, there is no other word to describe his ingenuity.
And even further.... Make that song sound as his own with all the respect to the original... I hear this son and i hear a different song from foo fighters' one! An amazing song and an amazing reinterpretation
Oh it’s raining ..the dancers and Prince in Heels Epic..playing Feroscious Guitar…ICONIC and HISTORIC I love u PRINCE💜💜💜💜💜🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨👑 His baby hair on Fleek, under the doo rag..Sexy 3:02 Prince let’s you know in his expression “He Ain’t No Fool” Believe..It
Only took me 30+ times watching this to realize: The McClean Twins are actually mic'd and singing back-up vocals on the chorus - while dancing their tails off - in heels - during a rain shower. No wonder Prince had them as his main dancers for over a decade and traveled around the world with them on tour, but also showing up with them at clubs and parties! Love the pictures of them walking the red carpet with him - a sister on each arm!
@@Hessian247 not really. Music is subjective. They're all geniuses respective of their own craft. One only needs to look at the impact their music made on the generation of people who continue to play their music decades after the fact. When your music stands the test of time, you've accomplished something significant.
LOL. I had forgotten this. I was looking at Hendrix covers and it hit me: did Prince ever cover Jimi? It took him about 52 seconds here and I said "Yep, he covered him". Wow!
I remember when I was aboit 12 (when I didn’t read liner notes) thinking it was written by Bono because it was on U2’s Rattle and Hum, then later thinking it was a Hendrix song, and then finally realizing when I was in my 30s it was actually Dylan’s work.
I always knew prince was a very,very good guitarist..it was only after he got a little age on him and toned down the spilits, JUMPING off speakers that we really got to see just how great he was Billy ZZ tops guitarist said he always knew prince could play a guitar he seen him hold one and play some on stage but it wasn't until my guitar gently weeps that he realized how great he was ,and GREAT HE WAS BILLY SAID he ask prince to show him the beginning of when doves cry he said him and some more guitarist had tried to play it but could not ....lol he said prince showed him but he still never could get it ,Billy said it is one of the most complex arrangement he had heard

Some are saying Prince covered Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower. Anyone with any common sense KNOWS Prince covered Jimi Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower. RIP Prince. You are still missed!!!
@@sleepinggorilla- not tearing down anyone. Just saying it's obvious to me Prince played his version much more like Hendrix's version than Dylan's version
Bittersweet for me - in that my Bears would lose that game. But, didn't walk away empty handed as got to see greatest live performance ever. Heard they had trouble booking the next years act after this. Nobody wanted to follow God! Dave Grohl would go on to say he never wanted to play 'Best Of You' again, Prince's version was so much better.
Eric Clapton was asked what it was like to be the greatest guitar player in the world. He said "I don't know, ask Prince." Check out Prince's guitar solo during an all-star rendition of George Harrison's "while my guitar gently weeps" during a tribute to Harrison at one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shows maybe 20 years ago. Tom Petty said Prince did not show up for sound check/rehearsal, but blew everybody away during the show.
no no. another urban myth. it generally started with hendrix and the responses have been " go ask neil young, go ask terry kath, go ask......" It was a convoluted thing that started after hendrix was on the caveat show and caveat was asking what it's like to be the best guitar player in the world and eventually Hendrix replied "maybe the best guitar player in this chair". Prince was at rehearsal at GH as well. Both Tom Petty and Dhani Harrison talked about how the rehearsal solo by Prince was even better. I cannot remember if it was recorded however. A rumour is that the soundboard captured it though. you're repeating things you've heard and not researched. no big deal really. jsut have to set this straight.

Best half time show ever! No question by far

Pretty damn good for sure

I always say he is the most underrated guitarists of all time. Only because his own voice overshadowed it. But us who know music always could tell.

And wearing those boots while accomplishing this…☝️

Kenny Cab prince guitar playing style I always thought was like Hendrix
Peter Pereira More Santana than Hendrix. He happens to sound very Hendrix here but he himself has said Santana was a much bigger influence.
@@ironhorse6688 True. But every guitarist since Hendrix owes him a debt.
IT'S IN THE VAULT... WITH MANY OTHER GEMS.
I know guitar techs for big bands. Prince apparently did a cover of every studio Hendrix record with a 3 piece. It's in there,
Without a doubt, THE best Super Bowl halftime EVER 💜💜💜💜
I've never been a prince fan personally but this is still absolutely my favorite halftime show ever
Maybe you should try listening to some of his records.
@@bobrobert3642 like everybody should
Never too late to change your ways, his live stuff is incomparable…
The best super bowl performance ever prince the best of all time
Oh Look there was a football game at a Prince concert.
Imagine if Jimi had lived long enough to jam with Prince!
Somewhere in an alternate universe, 78 year-old Hendrix and 62 year-old Prince are jamming at the rock-n-roll hall of fame induction ceremony.
Heat3YT2 well hes covering the original Bob Dylan version technically
The world would have imploded
Greatest duo ever
Woudlve made a Grammy album in all catagories
Just goes to show Hendrix will never be outdated.
Well Bob Dylan wrote it so…at least give him some credit. Hendrix however will not be outdated…
@@michaelclyburn5858 Yeah, Dylan's notes and lyrics, but Hendrix's vocal and musical twist on it. Then again, Bob Dylan is already immortalized in the history as it is.
God, i wish there was studio versions of him performing these songs.....
this is another (unreleased) version of this song ua-cam.com/video/_E3Qsay5MCk/v-deo.html
@@CL--Community Need that rehearsal been released :( Could be easily a short live single/EP
@Gastón Arce P.: U can find it on "Lotus Box" (eye.records) www.discogs.com/de/Prince-Lotus-Box/release/4559149
I want to hear his version of sweet thang
The Greatest Musical Genius of all time! No one can come close to him. He remains forever absolutely irreplaceable and unbeatable! God took extra time and extra effort when creating Prince.🌟💜🍀
Well you don’t know Isaac Hayes or Barry White…Or Curtis Mayfield. I will admit tho. Prince is that dude
@@MrBroderickg14 I know! Genius too. Barry White my fav. There were few Legends that were on such level, but what Prince could do all was surreal, really. :D
Possibly one of the greatest singular performances of all time!
An enduring regret of my life will be the fact that I never saw this man perform live!
Neil dutta it was the best concert I’ve been to. In a day that everybody says Eddie VH is the best ever,,,,, I say Prince was.
@@atvmarauder - i can't put Prince ahead of EVH but no doubt he was amazing
Prince. Was incredibly awesome..
Only cat that could take someone else's tune & make you forget about the original
I was in college when Purple Rain came out. I knew he was good, but this blows me away.
Jimi Hendrix did the same
The heart of rock and roll beat loud and proud in that man.
I had met him back in August 1988 in Oslo city centre he was so friendly and even had time to talk, Rest in peace
That guitar distortion at 2:07 before the solo kicks in... dirty. Amazing musician.
I'm a simple guy ..i see Prince ,..i hit the Like button
the best part is the screaming and the mic is about to crash but stands still ...Prince is off this world...simply the GOAT
That guitar solo omg this man was special
Awesome. There will never be another complete musician like Prince
Because of Prince I know the Foo Fighters. I'll never get tired of this cover or their entire body of work. That intro and all along the Watchtower!! #countIT
He was actually a pretty badass guitar player! Sure, there are a million shredders out there but he truly brung it in the feel department.
The GOAT‼️☔️🐐
You better not even think about taking this down
That guy can make a guitar sing that was for sure .
For sure!!!
He made guitar cry, laugh, he made love with guitar..man was such genius no one could do what he did (Jimmy Hendrix with guitar), but his vocal range was insane too. I mean Prince was surreal, there is no other word to describe his ingenuity.
A Triple Iconic moment: Prince, Jimi and Purple Rain drops bathing everyone on dry land. RIP, Genius!
The best Artist of all Times💞
2:27 was the most bad ass part
Only a badass like prince could go play the Super Bowl halftime show and play other people’s songs
And even further.... Make that song sound as his own with all the respect to the original... I hear this son and i hear a different song from foo fighters' one! An amazing song and an amazing reinterpretation
Ok let’s talk about Prince playing guitar like a true god
Hi ! Can you tell me what does he say at the beginning of the video please 😊
Too bad he didn't keep his mouth shut. 🙊
oh man. Prince is fantastic as a guitar player.
Oh it’s raining ..the dancers and Prince in Heels
Epic..playing Feroscious Guitar…ICONIC and HISTORIC
I love u PRINCE💜💜💜💜💜🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨👑
His baby hair on Fleek, under the doo rag..Sexy
3:02 Prince let’s you know in his expression “He Ain’t No Fool”
Believe..It
Now you know why Prince was the best 🙏🏽
Best halftime show ever. Prince was a master musician. In any century he would have been a great master.
Holy shit, that solo, that tone...holy shit!
One of the best solos I've heard
Prince and Taylor are performing this together in the great venue in the sky. RIP.
I can’t even imagine how Dave Grohl must’ve felt watching a living legend cover his song.
I guess he felt honored 😎 ua-cam.com/video/XtdBX1Mg-Ks/v-deo.html
He was a big prince fan.
He mentioned it in an interview
The night Prince won the Super Bowl
Only took me 30+ times watching this to realize: The McClean Twins are actually mic'd and singing back-up vocals on the chorus - while dancing their tails off - in heels - during a rain shower. No wonder Prince had them as his main dancers for over a decade and traveled around the world with them on tour, but also showing up with them at clubs and parties! Love the pictures of them walking the red carpet with him - a sister on each arm!
Thank you for noticing that. Xo Claire
Over a decade?
I thought it was Shelby J singing back up vocals? The lady in white with the hat on near the band
Shit thtas true. They had the mic on, and you actually can hear them in the end briefly at the last chorus
Who's here because you watched the Super Bowl half time show with Dre, Eminem etc.
See there’s stars on the stage there, and then there are STARS on THIS stage. There is a big difference
@@Hessian247 not really. Music is subjective. They're all geniuses respective of their own craft.

He ripped into that solo like a god
The ABSOLUTE 'BADDEST CAT' on the AXE 🎸!💜😉(IMO)
Agreed!
My Bears might’ve lost this Super Bowl, but at least we got probably the best halftime show in SB history
Da bears still suck 😉
Life is really unfair to take such a great artist away from us so soon, it really sucks
THA' BEST SUPERBOWL HALF TIME EVER hands down 💜😍💜😍💜 MISS U, O(+> 💜
The way he plays that guitar...
Got tears in my eyes during this halftime show🥲rip the legends Prince and jimi
The best the best the best are YOU ✨💜✨🙌🙌🙌🙏 Prince the best and greatest ever ever & 4ever!!!! ✨☯️✨💜💜💜
Just this portion of the performance still gives me chills!!!! Damn!!
There's a killer on the stage.
thank you
What do you mean
@@brianstrutter1501 Prince's shows are killing me, so he is a "killer" :-) Wouldn't you want to be like that?
@@codaalive5076 - you are still alive but yea Prince was great
The whole performance is...well, fantastic doesn't do it justice, but it's the best word I can think of...but this whole section is electrifying.
Jimi and Prince probably bowed to each other in heaven.
Heaven on earth. I' m listening to his music in heaven!
Fender Stratocaster is the deadliest electric guitar in anybody's hands. It's been proven many times.
I see what you did there, and its actually true
LOL. I had forgotten this. I was looking at Hendrix covers and it hit me: did Prince ever cover Jimi? It took him about 52 seconds here and I said "Yep, he covered him". Wow!
this is a Dylan cover
I used to cover Red House by Hendrix.
He also covered Spanish Castle Magic and Red House (as Purple House)
I remember when I was aboit 12 (when I didn’t read liner notes) thinking it was written by Bono because it was on U2’s Rattle and Hum, then later thinking it was a Hendrix song, and then finally realizing when I was in my 30s it was actually Dylan’s work.
God hes the best!!!!! Love PRINCE!!!!!!!💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This perfomance at .75x speed is pretty slippery and savory especially for anyone that may think this video is too short
Thanks man
Best halftime show ever and it’s not close.
RIP. The Purple ...Artist ...🙏🏽❤️💜🎶🎼🎵
this is the best cover of all along the watchtower ever. god I miss him.
Will take your girl & your song. 😆
A lot can play this, but not really !! It takes a special "feel" - Prince and Jimi forever
I’ve never seen a super bowl in my life and then I find this farrrken legend in 2024.. 😊WOW
Best halftime show ever.
Back again for an incredible performance. Eye roll game on point.
Real Artist, no BS!
Got to be my favorite song(s) Prince covered ever!
This is the pretty version
The GOAT showing the world how it’s done! Long live forever….my brother Prince O(+>
I bet dave started crying and came in his jeans all at the same time when he saw this lol
WHAT LMAOOO
😭😂😂
"Can you make it rain _harder?"_
Gary Clark Jr. Said PRINCE BEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD AND HE FIGHT SOMEONE OVER IT ..I HAVE TO AGREE

Holy man I haven’t seen this. Wow
Just
Wow
holy shit, how do i find this by now
jimi hendrix would be honored too have someone of his talent doing a song that is so widely known too hendrix fans!!
Mark Brydon-Taylor it’s bob Dylan
@@vinnielalumia I have always assumed that although Dylan is prolly the most covered artist ever, he must have liked Jimi playing his song.
Jeroen Leeuwerke If I remember correctly, Dylan said that Hendrix’s cover was one of his inspirations to go electric
and completely ruin it, if you want a good cover. Listen to frank marinos cover.
This is great. Thank you.
thanks Reto💜
I absolutely love this , I think I will impersonate prince and learn that song on guutar
Some mushup with Foo Fighter's song Best of you .................✌✌👍👍
thanks ! absolutely right !! 😎👍🏽
It's a prince song. Prince gave it to dave

Extraordinary. Thank you so much for sharing.
My favorite guitar solo

Yeah, just ignore the guy who wrote the song. Jimmy was a big fan of Bob’s, and Bob liked Jimmys version better. No need to tear each other down.
@@sleepinggorilla- not tearing down anyone. Just saying it's obvious to me Prince played his version much more like Hendrix's version than Dylan's version

Fuckin' Prince. Wow.

Have you seen this guy on guitar fucking fantastic
Taylor Hawkins - Drums
Prince - Bass

This band is jamming these songs in the afterlife 🤟
Never thought of this.... what a legendary set
Bittersweet for me - in that my Bears would lose that game. But, didn't walk away empty handed as got to see greatest live performance ever.

An ode to Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan🙌
A touch of watch tower it's all "Prince" style.
What do you mean?
Prince dabbed with All along the watchtower not played in it's entirely, but still it's Prince. What couldn't he do.
Te amo

Prince was at rehearsal at GH as well. Both Tom Petty and Dhani Harrison talked about how the rehearsal solo by Prince was even better. I cannot remember if it was recorded however. A rumour is that the soundboard captured it though.
you're repeating things you've heard and not researched. no big deal really. jsut have to set this straight.
that Clapton quote is BS and its proven a 1019191 times😂
oh i loved reading that itt is a good story true or not, but nonethelss, being a joni and hendrrix fan, i have found a brand new respect for prince, i just discovered how truly talented and crerative he really is. cant wait to listen to all his covers, wonder if he has any clapton ones
