I don't care what anybody says...Purple Rain has to be one of the best songs ever written. There's so much freaking power and emotion in that song, if it's done right, it's unspeakable. Gotta admit, brought them tears a little...
YOu know I never cared about him back in the day; I was too damn busy working 80 hours a week to pay attention. But lately I'm thinking he was great. And furthermore I want to know what's in all those thousands of hours of recordings in his vaults.
@@Ferocious_Imbecile Me too, but 7years ago I saw him live. My wife has been a fan forever and I pony'ed up for 7th row at the L.A. forum to give her a good time.....That lil flit...excuse me that MOFO ROCKED my balls off!!! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SHOW OF MY ENTIRE LIFE! And I've seen the Crowes w&wo/ Jimmy page. Page & Plant. Coverdale Page. Guns n Roses, Rush. The Who, Pink Floyd, Van Halen w&wo Roth, Bonamassa w&wo/Jason Bohnam, and Soo many more....Robert Plant Manic Nirvana Tour was my first concert (my sister had to swear to my parents I would be ok, I was like 13yrs old!). Nope! None of them compared to Prince. Ultimate showman, ultimate rockstar, ultimate artist. If you missed out, I'm here to tell you that- you- missed- out. Don't let it happen again, you deserve better! Lol
@@Ferocious_Imbecile I want to add to that...I saw The John Butler Trio in San Diego and they made the concrete floor bounce and roll! What a show! I saw Marc Ford cry, I saw Taj Mahal wail and Derek Trucks blew up his amp 15 feet in front me. I saw B.B. King play so hard he broke 2 strings in one stroke. I saw Incubus, Rage Against The Machine, and Tool play louder than any other bands I've ever heard .... But I never danced until I was spent, I never screamed until my throat was sore, and then walked out a pure sweaty mess from any show....like I did that night at the L.A. Forum with Prince (who knew, I guess he did!). If I only had a time machine you'd be on the short list. Check it...one regret...that I never saw him perform again....because I did once...and oh man!
The various loops and times are as follows: 2:58 Loop 1 - Guitar 3:47 Loop 2 - Piano 4:35 Loop 3 - Synth 5:23 Loop 4 - Bass 6:11 Loop 5 - Drums 7:15 Solo Guitar A masterful tribute Marco. R.I.P. Prince.
I always felt the underlying chord progression was the best part of the song. Prince’s version was a perfect classic pop/rock song and lives forever in that universe. But this arrangement highlights the inner beauty that was always there, and makes it into a classic itself. Two legends here - one who wrote it, and one who gave it a separate life. I am so grateful to have found this.
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and if I wasn't looking, I couldn't tell this wasn't played on a guitar. Closest to the real thing I've ever heard.
This also emulates other instruments and will eventually match their finesse. As I'm starting to play drums and I play guitar on/off, I'm wondering - why even bother? This device with support/backing could replace an entire rooms of orchestrated instruments - what's the point in owning anything other than this one device? As you stated; this is a very close sound to guitar and is likely to sound better with further developments. I'm actually not a supporter of this invention. I'd like to hear reasons as to why it's a good device, aside from 'it's cool'. (Thoughts, if you have them).
bmwd40 It's to offer a level of expressiveness no other keyboard can match. Any shift in finger position will change how it sounds, so you can add human imperfection on the fly to genres that don't normally have it, or near-perfectly emulate it into genres that do without having to have that instrument on hand. As for your other point, it's all about preference; at least, off the top of my head. Obviously, a long-time guitar player will never use this to play their guitar pieces.
@@bmwd4000 This level of expressiveness played live with sounds that aren't based on a real instrument is otherwise impossible. I mean, except for other similar designs. These super expressive digital controllers are necessary for super expressive digital live performances.
@@bmwd4000 synthesized drums is still hit or miss IMO, even if you're playing samples. I'm not sure we're ready to replace those with a keyboard, even one as awesome as this.
For sure an amazing performance, Seaboard is a game changer. Check out my 2 favorites Purple Rain covers. You won't be disappointed. Jack Thammarat and John Petrucci. Jacks is sublime...... Johns is other worldly. Both great, as is this one. ruclips.net/video/X_caCWJL4bk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/--cZjxzMQ34/видео.html
Not going to lie it sounded so damn good I cried a little. Prince was a large inspiration and to see this hardware and an amazingly talented musician behind it play it so damn well just brought tears of joy to my eyes!
Damn.. Was like "Oh nice little keyboard playing." Ready to move on.. but listened for a few more seconds, then a few more AND MORE. I got choked up and then so blown away. What a great way to demo this board and holy crap Marco... way to build that song. I think I upped the volume every time you added an instrument. Shit I miss Prince. Closed eyes & hit repeat. THX.
Guy with the Afro wearing the smoking jacket in the background is living in the moment entailing all emotions. He has no electronic devices that would take him away from this beautiful experience.
As a piano player myself, the Seaboard will dramatically enhance my musical capabilities. As for Marco, well done mate. As a lover of old school ballads, your rendition of Purple Rain made me all choked up and teary. Prince has been gone for a while now, but he is still sorely missed by many. Thank you so much for bringing his masterpiece back to life.
Years ago, there was (briefly) polyphonic aftertouch, that's a sad legal story, but the Seaboard is indeed a level up for the humble keyboard. Truly incredible.
Polyphonic Aftertouch was available more than "briefly" from several manufacturers, the biggest I can think of being Ensoniq... The only reasons it didn't catch on is because: 1. It was a bitch to implement back then, and 2. Today, 99.99795% of synth players will never actually need it...
It's not every day that you get to see a new category of musical instrument. That is unlike anything I've ever seen or heard before. Absolutely brilliant.
After seeing this video years ago, I've always wanted one! Talk about probably the most effective product demo EVER! It certainly helps that Marco Parisi is an incredible player. How brave would one need to be to tackle THIS legendary song at NAMM! No pressure, right? Just now, I found a ROLI Seaboard Rise 49 for a really good price. Rewatched this video again, and it's just a no-brainer to proceed!
Roli really have invented something new here, they've done something that could change the music industry forever. I wish I could afford one. Thank you Roli for this video. Thank you Marco.
Amazing how realistic the guitar solo sounds. I play keyboard and always wondered if it would be difficult to play one of these well. Fair play to this guy for balancing it on his freaking knee and making it look as effortlessly as sending a text message.
The young Black guy with the giant Afro hair gets it. He is in his own element....imagining himself in a band with Prince no doubt. The music of His Majesty inspired many. I heard Purple Rain in India in 1985. That song remains etched in my mind all these years. RIP Prince.
Why isn’t this comment number one!! I was all choke up hearing purple rain, lost in nostalgia and you bitch slapped a laugh across my face, well done Sir, well done...💪🏻
ever since i first saw this performance i have came back to the same video every once in a while and am still to this day blow away every single time, pure perfection.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Makai Boone Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I've seen other videos of Marco jamming out on this thing and knew he was awesome, so this time I was most mesmerized by how he was able to play the drum kit patch on a keyboard like it was made to be played that way.
I'm glad I stuck around to watch the whole video & not immediately leave. Completely didn't expect to hear such a beautiful rendition of my all time favourite song. Outstanding & job well done 👏 👏 👏 💯 👌
In 2017, I was so excited to get one of these, and then didn't. Now I've got my order in finally! Never before has a keyboardist been able to play his/her keyboard like a real instrument! Thanks Roli!
2023, and this performance is still as beautiful as it is astonishing. Superb.
😅 still cranking this weekly sometimes daily...couple friends thought it was a concert when they heard it.
I'm back again myself
2024❤
He should put this up on Spotify.. Love this
I never thought I’d be emotionally moved by a squishy piano but here I am
I fuckin' love squishy piano, I know the guy who invented it I'm gonna tell him people are calling it that
Hands down the best rendition of this song played on a single instrument ever, fight me…
i think you wont be proved wrong until humans will invent another instrument which is like 6 in one
@@9pitopo so true. With that six instrument being a triangle obviously.
Was about to throw down, but then I read your comment before that "fight me.." bit, and I 100% agree. You have my axe!
Exactly agreed
Nope. **fistbump**
I think I've listened to this song over 50 times over the years, no exaggeration. I always come back to it when I need to recenter. Thank you Marco!
and its all done on a seaboard.
Only 50 lol
same!
This guy is single-handedly responsible for like 20% of sales... and roli KNOWS it
More than 20%...I bought the seaboard 2 because of Marco
i bought one because of this video also
I'm back here again because of him. Don't own one yet but in time
I’d say 50-60%
don't make the same error, you can buy one but not the presets and the looper@@ultrariz3000
The only one who truly understands how fucking awesome this is is the guy in the background with the afro. He gets it.
right on brother. right *uckin on.
I was watching him and I was thinking the exact same thing. He was under the spell!

HES A BEAST!!! I got chills man and if Prince was still alive he would have respected that tribute!!! Keep it up Marc. WOW!!!
This is literally the best 11 minutes of music I have ever experienced. Literal full body goosebumps even after listening multiple times.
Unbelievable
Mine are the first time I listened to Narayan by the Prodigy on a casette back in the 90ties, but this one definitely hits the spot as well!
The thing you can hear is the emotion and that's what sold me this keyboard/ seaboard
December 2021 and this is STILL one of the best musical performances on RUclips. Brilliant!
To this day, one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
Someone help me find my jaw on the floor please. This has to be the best cover of anything ever made.

ever since i first saw this performance i have came back to the same video every once in a while and am still to this day blow away every single time, pure perfection.
Absolutely Epic performance. I am sure Prince was looking down and loving that.
This is cathartic to me. I listen to this, let my fantasy flow and I imagine a plot, with Marco Parisi as the soundtrack.

Had to come back and rewatch this masterpiece. Prince would be proud!
I wish Prince himself could have seen this before he passed. He was such an innovator and an artist. I bet he would have loved this.
Revisiting again in 15th of September 2022. 4 years and counting, still gives the chills.
I've seen other videos of Marco jamming out on this thing and knew he was awesome, so this time I was most mesmerized by how he was able to play the drum kit patch on a keyboard like it was made to be played that way.
I just keep coming back to this, over and over. Thank you Marco, it's just outstanding.
Marco is a consumate musician. Every label should be hiring him. Amazing
This video became part of my life. So cool and inspiring.
I love how the guy in the back is totaly feeling the vibes. MAN I LOVE MUSIC
Absolutely unbelievable. Totally owned it.
roli & mr. parisi: well done! seaboard+loopstation: my new definition of hi-quality one-man-band.
He's just made up the whole song from zero with only a keyboard on his lap in 10 minutes. I'm speechless.
Ehm ... I'm pretty sure Prince made it up first ;-)
Huh? What you on lmaoooo.... He didn't make up the song, it's literally in the title, it's Prince's song Purple Rain.

i think prince would even be impressed with that
Agreed this was an amazing and inspired performance to say the least. I think the great purple one would indeed be impressed and proud.
Beautifully choreographed...
I can't even picture the wonders he would play with such an instrument on his hands... Dear Lord.
Yeah he would be like what in God's name is he playing on lol.
damn DUDE. that guy with the crazy afro in the back is VIBIN

Simply the best Prince tribute ever and it happened during a product demo! Parisi is not from this planet.
