They asked Prince to do a guitar solo and he blew it up in true prince style , dressed to the nines and making it look so easy. A master entertainer, we lost a true artist when he left us 😢
@@Trwillis9 you must be Trippin because that’s all improv on that stage and really until you show me what you can do with a guitar for you to put down one of the best that ever did it. I’d love to hear your musical tastes.
Prince in the dark until he wasn’t. Then history happened. I will live another 20 years if I’m lucky. This will be the greatest guitar solo I ever saw. Never left the pocket. Wasn’t too flashy. Just incredible the entire time.
Prince is the definition of the phrase, he understood the assignment. “You want a solo about a guitar gently weeping? Say no more.” He became the guitar. Man there will be never be another performer, artist like prince.

Man it's a shame that timeless artists like this don't get more play and spotlight time. It almost as if it takes death for the majority of people to realize their contributions as well as influence to art and music alike. Ahead of their time in so many ways
Prince, nothing to say. Speechless. For all you crying about him showboating. That is Prince. They asked for Prince. They got Prince. He doesn't play instruments, he performs. And that was one hell of a performance. You didn't know, now you know.
Right ! Prince couldn’t be denied. It’s like all the kings and queens bowed when Prince came through. Just enough confidence to be like yeah I know I’m a bad mofo and just enough respect for the others to be like I’m enjoying the shit out of this with you guys! I’d say of live performances of rock this Hass to be either the best or at least in the top five up there with Jimi Hendrix killing floor at Monterey , queen live, set at live aid, and maybe U2. At red rock that’s a big maybe though. Stevie Ray Vaughan voodoo Child I forget which one there are quite a few good ones you get what I mean though there are such few live acts that did it as big as that if anybody else has something to add please do.
@Deese Knutz Don't start with the RACIAL CRAP. The reason Prince's guitar prowess is often overlooked is because he has done so many OTHER things superbly!!!!!!!!! SINGING, DANCING, SONGWRITING, COMPOSING, ARRANGING as well as many OTHER instruments he was able to play. So yes, his guitar playing was often overlooked because he did EVERYTHING and NOT because he was black. So please take that RACE CARD out of your wallet and throw it away FOREVER my brother.
This still gets to me.😢I remember hearing the news on the radio of George’s passing on my drive home from work. I had to pull over bcuz I couldn’t stop the tears. Then there’s Prince at his finest. I know he still had music left in him. The shitiest year was when we lost Bowie, Prince and George Michael. 💔😭 I am happy for Dahni that he got to part of a rare performance of his father’s beautiful music.
Never cared for Prince before this. But if there's anything like stylish guitar performance, here it is.One of the most stylish playing with skills ever seen by me. Style Quotient off the charts. Wherever you are Prince, I hope you are now playing that guitar you threw up to heavens. Sorry I underestimated you. Rock On,Priince!
Yes, and he is effortlessly lifted back onto the stage after a complete collapsing tribute to Harrison's son. This performance is so powerful it is almost impossible to experience, assimilate and contain. Perhaps musically it is impossible to replicate.
George fully understood and would've loved that scenario: The quiet guy that a couple of players aren't sure will "fit in" takes his turn three quarters of the way through and winds up blowing the rest of the field away. I think George held people like that in very high esteem. People who showed their strength through thoughtfulness, spirituality, generosity, humor, basic decency and on occasions such as this, were additionally possessed with the ability to wield a guitar with the unsurpassable talent of a Prince. To the quiet Beatle and the Prince, thank you for this, and for everything you did to enrich people's enjoyment of music, sirs.
Regardless of how he'd feel about it, the fact is that solo makes you really feel the spirit of the song, how a guitar can express emotion on a level otherwise impossible to achieve.
It's never about "blowing the rest of the field away". This was simply a tremendous ensemble performance, with an amazing solo climax. Great music has little to do with blowing others away. It has everything to do with taking the listener places they might never have expected to go.
I think alot of people don't realize how talented Prince was ! I think he was about 18 when he recorded his first album! Where he not only wrote all the music, lyrics , played each instrament! And arranged ! And continued to write everything! He could dance and sing ! And play!!! That for me separates him! From anybody else!!! That question comparing him to MJ ! Not even close!!! Name someone who plays 23 instruments writes hits , performs like that!!!!!!
Besides the sheer guitar brilliance shown by Prince there are so many little things to enjoy here: the grin on Dhani and Tom's faces at 4:44, then Prince again at 4:58, Tom shaking his head at 5:08 as if to say "Man this guy is good!"; then Prince's smile and nod at 5:34. They're obviously having so much fun, it's a pleasure to watch.
I thought the same thing and still do, but after listening to an interview that Dhani did about Prince’s performance, where he called it “gratuitous”, I wonder what they were really thinking on that stage during Prince’s performance.
@@sbillips753 💖Dhani let a bunch of jealous D's get in his head. He loved it when it happened, but people probably started whispering in his ears over the years that he shouldn't like this tribute to his father, and he fell for it. That's just sad that he would let them take away one of the happiest moments in his life.💖🎸💖
@@purpleflowers699 Yes that is true, I remember seeing a longer clip from this performance a few years ago and Dhani was smiling and very excited afterwards and kept asking "Where is Prince?, where is Prince?, I want to thank him/or talk to him!". So at the time right after it happened Dhani was very very happy!!!
@@sbillips753 They looked like they were surprised. I also think that Prince did it for a reason. Something happened behind the scenes that Prince was obviously pissed offed about. Prince hardly expressed his distaste verbally.You could always tell it in his face and then in his music. Perfect time to grab the show! I liked Claptons version but Prince mopped the floor with this solo.
@@locadisa Prince was supposed to do most of the solos, but in rehearsals the other guitarist (Lynne's) kept stepping in and playing Prince's parts, Prince eventually told the organizer to let the other guy play the first solos and that he (Prince) would play the final. Look it up.
I bet George would have been well chuffed, it was a meaningful tribute. You could see the look on Harrison's kids face, he was blown away by Prince's brilliance.
That is definitely a command tribute to the not just the song to the Beatles as well. Thank you to all of you Rock Icons for the honor you bring to the Rock-Roll table! R.I.P. those gone before us
Fuck a mic drop. He threw the guitar up in the air, and it never came down. Then he walked off the stage full of superstars and said fuck the applause. No bows, no nothing. Epic! Prince was epic!
JUST WOW !! What a friggin performance, so sad half of them aren’t around anymore , I saw Tom Petty twice in the 80’s and 90’s, but never Prince , and never knew he was as badass on the guitar as he proved there ! OMG , still have goosebumps from this video !!
When you Do something you Do it right, When you're paying tribute to a Icon you multiply that by 1,000. Everyone Man on that Stage put everything they had & Left it right there, At the end Prince took "it". Signed it, Sealed it & DELIVERED a Iconic Performance to another Icon. Outstanding Gentleman!!
Prince’s performance was OTHERWORLDLY GOOD! The moment he started playing everything else stopped. He makes it look so effortless and so cool. He was a level of artist the likes we may not see again. He may he never be forgotten and his legacy live forever. I miss Prince and seeing/hearing this brought tears to my eyes. We lost a great one when he left us. A TRULY GREAT musician and artist. 💜💜💜💜
Just amazing! Georges son looks just like him...and Prince...What can I say? The best guitarist I think he is better than Hendrix, Clapton, all the greats! Bravo!
... and this is why Eric Clapton has called Prince the greatest guitar player of all time. I have seen this probably 100's of times and it STILL gives me the chills to watch Prince play. If you know anything about the guitar, what he did in this performance was absolutely untouchable.
Same here. Also Beware of Darkness. So many of his songs are both spiritual and haunting. You just don't see this around today. Hopefully in the future. Gotta have faith.
After falling back into his bodyguards hands. He doesn't skip a beat... Gives a lil grin and knocks out that funky little riff... Slides down that bass line like, " Yeah MFers... I (Prince) came here to send GH out with a bang."
Still amazing, speechless, the look on Dahni Harrisons face smiling away at Prince. Such a special moment. Very sad that two of my favorite artists, Petty and Prince, are no longer with us.
It's April 26,2020...we're in the midst of a "Global Pandemic ". I am simply amazed at the talent assembled here...sad that we've lost a few great musicians, I can't help but thing what band(s) are playing up in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with all of us! RIP ❤🙏😘
THIS IS WHAT BOZE HEADPHONES WERE MADE FOR ;):) miss this dude in the physical. He is EASY TO CHANNEL!! he is more of a ham now that he is on the other side of the veil.
I come back to this video every so often because the story behind princes part is funny, plus the way he throws the guitar and walks off at the end and you never see it come down
True Classic Rock so beautiful, back story Prince was left off the list the prior year of the 100 greatest guitarist in Rollin Stones..... here's what you get my audition....🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
I could almost cry for not recognizing the talent Prince had. I wasn’t into that kind of music when he was preforming and preforming at his best I might add. After watching him not only play perfectly and preform flawless the cherry on top was the way he finished up throwing his guitar straight up into the air then turning an walking away, performance over time to move on. Showing everyone how he own the time there and he wasn’t going to waste any of not preforming. Time Go. An amazing talented performer who I will never be able to witness his true greatness as I believe he had not yet peaked. There is some solace in the knowledge that his performances have been recorded for posterity and I may be able to pull some from various archives to watch him perform yet again an again over an over
God - "Time to give the guitar back, Prince. What did I tell you about touching my stuff with out asking? Play time is over, get your butt to the studio now. "
A girl from New Jersey caught it. She lives in Hoboken she won't let it go for anything. A friend of mine offered her $ 10,000 for it and she turned it down.
This performance never gets old; the excitement on George son's face says it all.
My gosh! Yes it does!! His dad would’ve been the same!! That Man was just a Genius!! Rest dear 💜
Ikr?!? He looks as if he was having the time of his life!
I noticed that too. He was waiting for it the whole song.
Oh for sure! Even Tom Petty gives Prince a knowing smile. They all knew he was gonna let loose😂
Just like Keanu Reeves in Bill and Ted at 4:49.
I can watch this ending over and over and over again and it never gets even the slightest bit boring! Hats off to Prince & Petty. RIP 🙏
yup RIP Tom Petty and prince but they will never be forgot to this day
They asked Prince to do a guitar solo and he blew it up in true prince style , dressed to the nines and making it look so easy. A master entertainer, we lost a true artist when he left us 😢
Fuck fentanyl and millions who loved him and could never reach him.
Na it's cause he was a really badass guitar player an they thought that he'd fuck it up but he showed different
Nah I don’t think they thought that at all. As a matter of fact, there weren’t many things Prince ever fucked up. Perfection comes to mind.
Well said man. He’s the epitome of an Artist, it ran through his entire being. Wow
😢
"In the worst time of my life, Prince's music changed my life, it gave me hope again"- Eric Clapton.
When an interviewer asked Clapton what it felt like to be the World's Greatest Guitar Player, he replied "I don't know. You'll have to ask Prince."
Eric is trippin.. Prince can shred but his music is mot that serious tbh. He has less than 10 supremely amazing songs.. 5 at most

@@janicetotten6388 You got a problem with it? That was rock and roll. Make your own word for it. Don’t care.
The sign of a truly great musician. He always knew exactly when and how to shine!
This is so powerful it is almost impossible to experience, assimilate and contain
Until a year ago he wasent listed as a top 20 guitarists
You could see the smile on Petty and George's sons face as Prince went into his guitar solo truly making his guitar weep.

Prince's guitar needed a cigarette after that solo...
Jeff Lynne too. He gives a smile also.

Jimi Hendrix did that and more and better almost 40 years ago. Plus, Prince wasn't even singing nor did he write the song.
The amount of talent on that stage is unbelievable. Beautiful performances.

May you rest in peace Prince

That is definitely a command tribute to the not just the song to the Beatles as well. Thank you to all of you Rock Icons for the honor you bring to the Rock-Roll table!
R.I.P. those gone before us
Fuck a mic drop. He threw the guitar up in the air, and it never came down. Then he walked off the stage full of superstars and said fuck the applause. No bows, no nothing. Epic! Prince was epic!
JUST WOW !! What a friggin performance, so sad half of them aren’t around anymore , I saw Tom Petty twice in the 80’s and 90’s, but never Prince , and never knew he was as badass on the guitar as he proved there ! OMG , still have goosebumps from this video !!
NEVER BE ANOTHER PRINCE! NEVER
Prince was on another level 🎉🎉 RIP Tom ,George , Prince .
Prince was just brilliant in so many ways here💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💋💋💋💋💋
Geez, my skin bristles when I hear those guitars cry. Thanks music for so much
I haven't smoked in over 20 years, but after watching Prince smoke that guitar, I suddenly feel the urge to light up.
Man! The back story behind this video!!! Fckn bravo to my favorite musician Prince 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
This was the first video I sought when Prince died, and now sadly the first I seek after hearing about Tom Petty. RIP Prince and Tom Petty.
I’m sitting here watching this for the 100th time, crying
When you Do something you Do it right, When you're paying tribute to a Icon you multiply that by 1,000. Everyone Man on that Stage put everything they had & Left it right there, At the end Prince took "it". Signed it, Sealed it & DELIVERED a Iconic Performance to another Icon. Outstanding Gentleman!!
Prince’s performance was OTHERWORLDLY GOOD! The moment he started playing everything else stopped. He makes it look so effortless and so cool. He was a level of artist the likes we may not see again. He may he never be forgotten and his legacy live forever. I miss Prince and seeing/hearing this brought tears to my eyes. We lost a great one when he left us. A TRULY GREAT musician and artist. 💜💜💜💜
Amazing! we have lost some truly amazing artist!
Wish I could like it twice.
R.I.P. Prince You where really an amazing guitar player.
Prince stole the show that's all there is to it
The solo we all needed in our life. PRINCE NELSON ROGERS! You felt every chord!!
That’s a weeping guitar...Prince got it perfectly!! Ouch...awesome!! 😁👏🏻😁🙋🏻♂️
George's lad is the spit of his dad
Just amazing! Georges son looks just like him...and Prince...What can I say? The best guitarist I think he is better than Hendrix, Clapton, all the greats! Bravo!
... and this is why Eric Clapton has called Prince the greatest guitar player of all time. I have seen this probably 100's of times and it STILL gives me the chills to watch Prince play. If you know anything about the guitar, what he did in this performance was absolutely untouchable.
Same here. Also Beware of Darkness. So many of his songs are both spiritual and haunting. You just don't see this around today. Hopefully in the future. Gotta have faith.
I know enough about playing to say that Prince solo was....IMMACULATE.
After falling back into his bodyguards hands. He doesn't skip a beat... Gives a lil grin and knocks out that funky little riff... Slides down that bass line like, " Yeah MFers... I (Prince) came here to send GH out with a bang."
Back years later and this still gives me chills
Lost count how many times I've watched this. It transports me to a time and place in my life when life was much more ......... "real"
Still amazing, speechless, the look on Dahni Harrisons face smiling away at Prince. Such a special moment. Very sad that two of my favorite artists, Petty and Prince, are no longer with us.
Prince took that damn 🎸 and went NUCLEAR!!!!! 100% R.E.S.P.E.C.T
It's April 26,2020...we're in the midst of a "Global Pandemic ". I am simply amazed at the talent assembled here...sad that we've lost a few great musicians, I can't help but thing what band(s) are playing up in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with all of us! RIP ❤🙏😘
Bonzo; Jimi; John Lennon; John Entwistle ; Billy Preston - not a bad combo!!
Its april 29th,2021 were still fucked and its gonna get worse RIP
Thank fuck for good music
Tom Petty shaking his head in disbelief at 5.00 mins at Princes playing is a joy . What a guitar player
I never get tired of watching this! All amazing musicians.
Never get tired of watching this.... Prince is amazing.
PRINCE SET IT THE FCUK OFF !!! That RED hat and shirt was the SH!T !!! Where was this @ ??? 😮😢😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💜💜💜💜
My sanctuary, whenever I feel melancholic. RIP Prince and Tom.
THIS IS WHAT BOZE HEADPHONES WERE MADE FOR ;):) miss this dude in the physical. He is EASY TO CHANNEL!! he is more of a ham now that he is on the other side of the veil.
It’s wonderful we can use this system to watch Prince play here now an again and again and again
I could watch this 10 times a day and hear something new, and never get tired. Simply outstanding!
It was the pimp walk off the stage that did it for me.
Music is so powerful... but it is rare that I'm moved to tears... but Prince was magical in his solo!
Gets better every year.
Thanks guys.
Truly my favorite solo !! Prince ended the night with a major splash the night and song needed
PRINCE is simply SMOKIN'!!!! Go on my friend and tear it up. Lord how you are missed. I think George would have LOVED this!
I watched this 3 times in a row! The smile kept getting bigger and bigger a bigger….😂 I love this song!!
Prince is off the chain...
Prince entered ‘God Mode’ 🎸✨💜
Never mind your weeping guitar George. Prince's caught fire and melted. Best solo ever.
I come back to this video every so often because the story behind princes part is funny, plus the way he throws the guitar and walks off at the end and you never see it come down
The way Prince keeps stickin it! Damn!
Prince is cold blooded. In a class all by himself. He said his only competition is in the past. "Dont play me" song.
ua-cam.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/v-deo.html
The fellow playing all the solo bits up to prince absolutely kills it!!!!! Who is this guy?? He is the magic in this performance....
Not on the list
Damn Prince knew how to play the hell out of that guitar! bunch of legends up on that stage!
Dudes that lil purple guy Shreds , new Respect for Prince.
True Classic Rock so beautiful, back story Prince was left off the list the prior year of the 100 greatest guitarist in Rollin Stones..... here's what you get my audition....🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watch it many times and each time IAM blown away...wjatba piece of guitar solo history
great tribute by one genius to another I love Tom petty too may they all RIP
I could almost cry for not recognizing the talent Prince had.
I wasn’t into that kind of music when he was preforming and preforming at his best I might add. After watching him not only play perfectly and preform flawless the cherry on top was the way he finished up throwing his guitar straight up into the air then turning an walking away, performance over time to move on.
Showing everyone how he own the time there and he wasn’t going to waste any of not preforming. Time Go.
An amazing talented performer who I will never be able to witness his true greatness as I believe he had not yet peaked.
There is some solace in the knowledge that his performances have been recorded for posterity and I may be able to pull some from various archives to watch him perform yet again an again over an over
That time when Prince threw his guitar up to heaven and God caught it.
yea wtf! I had to rewind and watch that again
🤭😆😃😂🤘😷💫🥀☔🥀💫
God - "Time to give the guitar back, Prince. What did I tell you about touching my stuff with out asking? Play time is over, get your butt to the studio now. "
A girl from New Jersey caught it. She lives in Hoboken she won't let it go for anything. A friend of mine offered her $ 10,000 for it and she turned it down.
@@ricrothwell7677 Seriously?
Prince= Fire 🔥
So much talent in one man! 👏
The way he bends the strings and uses vibrato at the top of the bend at 4:13 is next level
That was fantastic… All of them, but Prince rocked the show.
Everyone did they're thing. Excellent, seriously. But Prince............wow. next level.
Good luck everybody
This song is classic. It will be played 100 years from now and people will see the appeal of it. Prince went in on it.
He blew legends out of the water...
Nathaniel Jones What do you mean? PRINCE is a LEGEND. LOL 😝
@@v8hotrodlincoln I didn't hear anything that great it was ok at best
Like he's chopped liver?, he's a legend himself!
Who's this"Prince" guy? Is this the one who got kicked out of the castle?
@@charlesoneil4459 🧡🖤🧡 Than clean out your ears.👂🏼👂🏼👂🏼👂🏼
The song, the legendary collaboration, the solo, all EPIC! I've watched this video so many times and I can promise it won't be the last.
Best guitar performance in history
Sorry it was not
It was truly brilliant but.... best ever? Thats a big call. Dave Gilmore doing comfortably numb live? Now your talking.
Lmfao! Keep smoking
U kidding right ??
Try Gary Moore The Messiah Will Come
