Prince the type of dude that shows up to school in a cape but then actually flies.
:D
That is probably the best way I’ve ever herd one describe him.
What a wonderfully cool comment! I'd bet Prince would have extremely appreciated something like that...!
⚡👍🥴⚡
BEst Best Simply The Best comment
You win the internet today
Just a reminder that a few days before this Rolling Stone didn't include Prince in the top 100 guitarists of all time. I can't help but feel this was Prince's way of reminding them that he's not just one of the best, he's royalty.
Prince is easily one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. Dude fucking shreds
Absolutely. He then put himself on a pedestal. There's another video that's just reactions from every guitar player in that room.
That video shows every single one of them getting their faces melted off. It's stink face city.
The best kind of petty. Prince was the king
For real!
Absolutely! More often than not Prince was quite understated with his guitar playing, as shown with his live performance with Stevie Wonder in Paris. Clearly out to make a point here.
Who's watching this in 2024?? Go pay ur monthly visit and be amaze with their incredible performance all over again. (Prince always gives me goosebumps in this perf.)
Here in 2024 for the umptheenth time.
i am!!
I have already watched it several times this year. Probably bi-monthly. Will never get enough. As a 67 year old grandmother my kids and grandkids actually have the audacity to tell me to get off of it and act my age but so tell them to bite me. 😂
04/10/2024 what a GREAT TRIBUTE CONCERT!
Go see it at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland... you'll literally cry.
If this is your first play...be warned - you will be revisiting this for the rest of your life! Get's better on every play!
5/23/24; thats for sure!
Yup. You called it.
I don’t always listen to Prince, but when I do, so do my neighbors
DAMN RIGHT!!!
same here.
Hahaha!
YESSS!!!
That's rude of you.
Maybe they like Mozart. 😛
I’m not the only one who watches this every few months and is amazed all over again, AM I?
every few weeks at the least.
Nope
you are dude sorry
Same
Absolutely not the only one. And every time I love how Prince lit Dhani up like he did my Gen.
Prince. The only man who could wear make up and high heels and still steal your girl! 🤩🤩
😂❤😂❤😂 Totalmente!!!!!
I feel like a lot of people could wear make up and high heels and steal your girl
😂
absolutely true
Ja, aber er war auch der einzige! Aber was für eine geniale Aussage. Ich musste von Herzen lachen. Danke!
Only Prince could make a stage of SERIOUS ROCK STARS look like a back up band! 1:52
Amen, seriously, he really did.
That is what I thought as I watched for the first time.
Harrison’s son…the smile on his face when Prince is about to shred🙌🏻
Yes. Whatever Tom Petty is going through at that time, it is a shame how indifferent he is.
Harrison’s son actually said he was laughing at prince for showboating and called it a little gratuitous
bro ur full of shit that’s not what he said at all. Prince let the leads get jacked by Lynne’s guitarist in rehearsals and wasn’t showing anything. All the production crew was worried that prince was gonna flop but Dhani Harrison felt like he was holding back instead. Prince gave up the mid solo to Lynne’s guitarist and just took the last one. The look on Dhani’s face is 101% an oh fuck here it comes excited thing
@@orbanchristophercoThat's what he said, but I don't believe he was being completely honest in that interview. Did you see the smile on Dhani's face when Prince took his position on stage? He was stoked, and he knew something special was about to happen. His body language and his smile tell the truth, and the truth is that he enjoyed every minute of Prince's performance.
@@Anime_n_Music
Who could NOT enjoy watching a virtuoso performance in real time?
Dhani definitely enjoyed it, even if the Stars were slightly bent, but even they'd admit it was a singular experience.
Some people watch porn, I watch Prince playing a solo
Watching Prince play that guitar is musical porn!
Amen brother
yaassss...mutiple eargasms
Shane McDonald sister, actually lol
hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg feeling it deep baby
Prince don’t care what song or who he playing with. He owns it.
As a guitar teacher for 25 years, I’ve never seen such a great solo, nice to know he got the money’s worth for his talent. RIP Prince!
I didn't know that you had to be a guitar teacher to watch solos
@@lez_ghozt anyone can watch solos when did I say that only we can
@@thegunner4141ignore mate, Trolls gonna troll..
@@dan32113 yea. That's definitely a troll bot
I guess you never heard of EVH. The king
Prince knew he would need one of his guitars up in heaven soon. So he threw one up so it would be waiting for him.
I like that. That's a great way of looking at it. God caught it for him.
well put
You bunch of wet saps.
+sco bra okay, we're all paying attention to you. What's on your mind?
👌
This has to be the greatest 'hold my beer' moment in music history!
Perfect description 👌👌💜
Right! Ha, you're right. For me it was more like, "hold everything" !!
YES!!!! Exactly. All these great musicians playing on stage and then Prince just happens to walk up....
Oh, what's that you say? Are we playing a song now?
Well in that case, let me grab my guitar and...
hold my beer.
❤
Most definitely agree.
I am soon to be 70 years old....and I am still blown away by this performance each and every time I watch it.....and I watch it a LOT! Unbelievable talents! RIP Prince, Tom Petty, and George Harrison.
I hear You bro
Yes, indeed.
Still watching in 2024??
oh yeah and lucky enough to be around when these geniuses were still playing
Yup
Fun Fact: When he threw his guitar at the end it actually phased out of reality and ascended to heaven since nobody will ever be able to play a solo like that again.
AS IT SHOULD!!!
@@kyleschwab1564 he just threw it up for his soonish to come encore ; )
I miss him terribly
Beautiful Beautiful
That is true. He threw that guitar at me many times. Never caught it once. It just disappeared. 💜
Who else has watched this about 100x already?
Me.....
Me...
Same.
me 👍
Me, can't get enough!
Jeff lynns playing and vocals also deserves more credit
He is a fantastic musician, songwriter and producer. Jeff Lynne's ELO will be on Tour this Summer and Fall in 27 North American cities. I already bought my tickets for New York and Toronto.
It's the final ELO tour
Just watched a bunch of videos from recent Jeff Lynne's elo and once I remember that he paid the devil to keep him forever looking like he's 40 but really he's in his mid 70s and still sounds incredible it blows my mind
@@natelinker3496 Wild West Hero is a brilliant song, but then again ELO made some fantastic songs. Maybe one of the best Greatest Hits albums you can buy. But Prince owned this.
The depth and versatility of his talent is simply amazing. Someone commented he is the Swiss Army Knife of Rock and Roll. Well said.
Does anyone else skip directly to Prince's part, or just me?
He is kickin it out - Tom Petty is getting a heart attack 😳
I couldn't help myself ❤😂
I just did 😂
Yep I do to.
Yup
Prince wasn't showing off....he was simply being Prince!💜🔥
Talent with soul
A king like Harrison deserves a legendary tribute and that's what he got 🤩
He *was* showboating a bit…but if you watch, he’s doing it for Dahni. He knew they were there to honor his father and wanted to give him some extra.
What a stand up guy.
I felt him kneeling in front of Tom Petty was shown off. It wasn't a humble gesture. Tom Petty didn't seem amused. There is no doubt this performance is one of the best I've ever seen. I saw it for the 1st time. I was blown away. And still in awe. Tom and Prince both dead from legal scrip abuse. What a waste.
Exactly ❤
I will absolutely never EVER get tired of Prince completely shredding the solo
ditto
I couldn't count the number of times I've watched this. Every time feels like the first.
Its what guitar weeping should sound like, that's why!
@@Blackadder512 Prince: "Listen to this bitch weep!"
3 mins 27 secs thank me later 🔥🔥
❤❤❤Jeff Lynne's ELO will be on Tour this Summer and Fall of 2024 for 32 concerts in North American cities. It's on my bucket list... I already bought my tickets for New York and Toronto.
i watch this once a week to keep sane.
Prince is quite popular as a singer and a producer, but he is super underrated as a guitarist
Bolter21Mapping , yes sir he was very talented guitar player!! This has to be one of the top 10 solos of all time and the exit was classic!!
Agreed. And don't forget songwriter, arranger, drummer, pianist, dancer, etc. Not many folks have that many musical gifts. He was truly one of a kind.
Kimberlee Ponson Pink Floyd was like this too, the live performances were much longer because of the guitar solos, or even keyboards or everything combined, truly shows how great artists are when they can extend their music live.
yes, and in a studio, Prince can do a Pink Floyd favorite by HIMSELF. That is praising Floyd, as their music live was so magical. This video when it came out shocked a lot of casual fans, but I always knew he could play like this, and better - if you listen to most of his work, he is a very emotional player with masterful sense of vibrato and bends, and this song was made for him to hit out of the park. Clapton is a huge fan, and he must have LOVED it. PRINCE IS AN ALL TIME GREAT. BUt none of the all time greats has mastered all the instruments and can play as many styles as Prince, plus sing and dance? No one comes close.
An understatement :) whoever thought of asking Prince to do this needs a medal on so many levels, its a lovely nod to George (both were creative and experimental songwriters), a nod to Eric's original solo which was in itself a 'step out' for the Beatles, it brings attention to this great song once again, it shows Prince as a more consummat artiste alongside respected contemporaries and as an individual guitar player... I could go on but you get the idea. 35 million views cannot be wrong.
Prince making George Harrison’s son smile made my day
He was like WTF? He was in awe while playing. This video is the best! To see that!
That was great to see.
The moment just before the solo, when Dhani looks over to him and beams - he knows what's coming!
I read that someone asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the best guitar player alive and his reply was, “I don’t know. Ask Prince.”
i know i start welling up mate ,its fucking awesome
This did actually make me weep. All talented, but Prince is some kind of wonderful. I remember an interview when Eric Clapton was asked,'What's it like being the best guitarist in the world?' To which he replied 'I dont know, ask Prince'. Class.
That NEVER happened. Clapton never said that. It's just a rumor that Prince fans keep spreading.
@@nicke.3782How would you know? You certainly weren't up there on stage playing guitar with these mega stars. 👋😂
@@carmendee6039Since that RUMOR has been around long BEFORE this concert... I didn't have to be on stage with them. Also, if you believe Clapton said that... then provide a link to an interview where he did. You can't, because it doesn't exist. Still laughing?
@@nicke.3782 A "rumor" isn't proof; and it's to be taken SERIOUSLY; neither are 👉 you. 👋😂
@@carmendee6039You are not too bright are you. If there is no proof (and there is none)... then it's a RUMOR. Instead of trying to deflect, which you are not very good at, point me to a printed interview or a video where Clapton said that. Keep laughing... at yourself.
Legend has it that the guitar he threw up in the air ascended to heaven and waited for him to meet him there.
Rest In Power to one of Earth’s greatest musicians, Prince Rogers Nelson.
❤❤❤
Beautiful words. 💜
Right on pimpin
That was very nice. Quite a beautiful thought
I couldn't see what the big deal was about Prince, then I watched this and crawled back into my hole and revaluated my life.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I saw a comment, "what is prince doing up there? watched it, what are those guys doing up there with prince."
Yep
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 Best comment ever!!
lol... pretty good comment I must say... lol
RIP Tom Petty, George Harrison and Prince. The stage was full of rock gods! We will never see their like again.
lol that's not george that's his son
We won't, you are right
@@amarreddy3754unreal how much Dhani looks like George
Gosh, makes me want to cry!!
Never!
you know you're great when Tom Petty just watches you, grinning and shaking his head.
"Hi, my name's Prince. I would say, 'Welcome to MasterClass,' but since I AM MUSIC, that will not be necessary."
For those who don't know, a week before this show, rolling Stone magazine put out the top 100 guitar players in rock history and Prince was not in it. He showed them.
What a fucking joke 🤦🏿♂️💜🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
He needs to be in the top 5 of that list!
Prince showed us all.
I could watch this everyday, and never grow tired of it.
I am Sure Rolling Stone magazine are not in the same world as most of us there is hell of very good guiter players are not in the top 100 why
Like taking candy from a baby, he took their shine😁❤️
Look at Prince just standing there calmly, knowing he's about to burn down the world.
period
Lightning
Amen
effing right. You could not have said anything more exactly correct in this world!
Facts!
Legend. Leaned all the way off the flipping stage and didn’t miss a lick!
But do not forget. He earned through practicing so much there was no competition. He's a true example of what is possible!
it's 2023...and...PRINCE is...STILL the GOAT on guitar!!!
Umm no…and he never was, sorry.
He is good, but better than Hendrix?
Only prince could stand to the side and not sing a word for an entire song yet come in at the end and be the highlight of the whole thing
Yeah, respect that!
damn true
He played the grand finale, as much as by himself!
And walk off stage... LIKE A BOSS.
I've never seen someone play a guitar with as much ferocity and charisma as Prince did in this.
LoganConeTV - Stevie Ray did
stickinit .. SRV and Prince were indeed on other planes of charisma, and ferocity.. Thanks for your love.. Stevie Ray.
Yeah this was an "angry" guitar solo
have you ever watched a live Hendrix video? When Jimi was on stage, it was like watching a man have sex with a guitar.
Sure, Prince lived longer, but Hendrix was still king when it came to making love to an instrument.
Prince was like a black Carlos Santana....He had the soul of R&B, and the fire of a Latino. An amazing combo to be sure.
You have never seen Johnny Thunders in his prime then
Prince is a very very talented and prolific musician.
The way he just removes the guitar without disturbing his hat, and then just sends it off to Heaven so George could have a go ❤
Prince didn't die, he just went to Heaven to get his guitar back.
Love that.
Nice one!
absolutely
He is dead, Fentanyl killed him, and that is so sad,
damn i just saw the same comment below this
I love how George Harrison's son just enjoys the heck out of Prince's solo! I still can't believe not only is George gone, but also Tom Petty & Prince. A very special performance.
We are alone and adrift these days
There's an interview on yt with Dhani , and he said in so many words that he /they didn't expect that from prince,and he was standing as a buffer between prince and the heartbreakers, but in the end it all worked out
Yes it’s emotional for me too.
😪
Right? He looks like a fan who got to play with one of his idols.❤
That ladies and gentlemen is what you call *a groove*. And what a pro Tom was, acting as the quarterback/band leader, keeping things moving, and throwing in those "choruses" to break up the solo.
Magnificent. This is everything "music" is in one performance!
I’m a HUGE Prince fan… but he’s SUCH a GREAT songwriter, singer and performer I forgot what a MIND BLOWING guitarist he is… he’s on stage with some of the BEST ax-men on the planet and he SMOKES THEM! He was the MOZART of our time a musical GENIUS without equal! It sucks that we lost him way before his time!
If you're reading this Prince mustn't have started yet.
LOL!! Yep!!
Nah... he just finished.
lol
Please this is embarrassing at this point 😂😂
Yep lmao
Prince didn’t die… he went to get his guitar…❤️
Greatest response ever created! Thank you
🤣🤣
Good one!👏👏👌👌✨️
Incredible post
He needed to get that back💯💯💯👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎸🎸🎸🎸
Jeff Lynne is the MASTERMIND of "ELO!" He also produced some of the BEATLES work.
He is a fantastic musician, songwriter and producer. Jeff Lynne's ELO will be on Tour this Summer and Fall in 27 North American cities. I already bought my tickets for New York and Toronto.
Prince's outfit demands as much attention as his solo.
That grin on Dhani’s face when he knows Prince is coming in is everything
That boy is in awe💕
Priceless!!!!
That's one of my favourite parts of this amazing performance. The geniuses on stage are all amazing, so their brilliance was expected (and of course admired). But Dhani's glee was a joy to see.
I think Dhani must have been cloned from George.
never cared to much about prince(43 yrs old) but damm just fucking damm he made not only his son smile but his dad from beyons the veil
Prince received very little recognition during his lifetime for his extraordinary guitar talent but this one video leaves no doubt that he belongs to a very small group. A virtuoso’s virtuoso.
he was snubed and said ill show them all
Alex Lifeson says hello 😂
@@scotta2769
Because he was late.
You know how Stars act.
Still, everyone would have to admit it was a knockout performance.
If it was a statement, Prince was just being Prince.
@@thisismagacountry1318 Yep, Lifeson and a thousand other REAL guitarists who are more than a pimp-hat and a handful of pentatonic licks trying to show off instead of playing *music*. Especially at a tribute for George Harrison - one of the most tasteful and musical players of all time. Ridiculous and Disrespectful.
I mean, not gonna lie, I had no idea until I saw this.
Never get tired of watching Prince go to another realm. No words to describe his incredible performance. RIP George & Prince 👑 💜💞💜
This song will never be performed better than this ever again.
Prince's axe-wielding, Tom Petty's leadership, Jeff Lynne's beautiful voice and George Harrison's doppelganger son? Majestic.
man, you hit that right on the mark.
Yes
Dhani looks so much and moves so much like young George that this gave me chills.
Abosotutely
My first concert ever was in 77, I was 12. Saint Paul Civic Center ELO. My ticket was 7.50, I was so lucky!
There is one problem with Prince's solo: it ends
Facts
@Neo Love that sentiment..💜
GTFOH boy, the problem is it starts ffs
That, and I think this is the one and only time I wish Tom Petty would have stopped singing for a few minutes. At least 3 rounds of the chorus weren't really necessary, and just broke up the solo.
@M C That's what they said about jazz.. Rock n Roll... hip-hop... metal... movies... comic books... books... literally everything popular throughout history at one time or another. Kids have listened, read, consumed, and played inappropriate things since entertainment was a thing (so, forever). And everytime, old curmudgeons ramble about how it's terrible, and how their music was so much better. Your parents did it. Your grandparents did it. Their parents and grandparents, and so on. Such is art, and growing up in a cultured society.
People ask, "what was the biggest difference between Prince and Michael Jackson?"
I always tell them, "Michael Jackson was a singer and performer. Prince was a MUSICIAN and performer.
From 1976 to this day ELO (Jeff Lynne) has been the best live band i have ever seen and i have seen lots and lots of concerts from legendary bands. I saw ELO in 1976, 1978, 1981, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. I feel very fortunate. The best Super Bowls performances belong to Prince and 2nd Tom Petty.
Prince, U2, Springsteen, Bruno Mars, Michael Jackson
I never got to see ELO, but they were smooth as silk! LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeff Lynne's awesome voice!
Seeing Harrison's son's ear to ear smile as Prince took over was PRICELESS!
Darren P I loved that too!
true
Darren P Ik omg that was special
Darren P The best EVER Rock and Roll performance by someone who will never be matched in performance, musical standards or how he helped others without fanfare. RIP Prince.
Darren P At 4:46 he knew he was witness to pure genius!!
Favorite part is Harrison's son's smile when Prince is about to shred. He's just as excited as anyone in the audience to be there and watch these guys tear the roof off.
He knew. And he was right. Just awesome.
Yep, he definitely knew what was in store for us all... pure unforgettable magic
Yes but later on he as critical of the showboating that Price did, well you sure seemed to enjoy it at the time.
@@casinosnoopy9900 🖤💜🖤He sure did, and that was ‘ Showmanship ‘ through and through.🖤💜🖤
I completely agree!
I believe that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY that ANYONE can NOT recognize the voice of the ONE & ONLY JEFF LYNNE! One of my FAVORITE musicians of all time. I could listen to him for hours on end! He IS & ALWAYS will be 100% smooth as SILK.
TOM PETTY is best known for his UNIQUE, yet VERY DISTINCTIVE VOICE. Hearing him in this video made me want to MELT into BUTTER! His voice was nothing short of TOTALLY SPOT ON & INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC!
As for the fabulous PRINCE, there are NO adequate words to describe his MULTI-PHENOMENAL talents other than: "MULTI-PHENOMENAL!" I truly belive that Prince was giving the great George Harrison a sincere TIP OF THE HAT as a grand gesture of respect. Prince was praised by his peers for his incredible PERFECTION and ATTENTION to details. He always exuded AMAZING EMOTION and added a RICHNESS of DEPTH to every song he wrote and sang and every concert he gave. These traits also carried over to the plethora of artists that he composed for.
All the while, I am being ENTHRALLED at just how much DHANI HARRISON resembles his AWESOME Dad.
I ADMIRE, RESPECT & TRULY MISS THE GREAT MUSICIANS ON THIS STAGE WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US. 💔
GEORGE HARRISON wrote TREMENDOUS music, & THIS SONG will ALWAYS be my FAVORITE.
Jeff Lynne (ELO) is one of the most versatile musicians and producers ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest.
Lynne didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world....
@StudAth I agree with you to infinity. Great reply. Nice to always meet someone who knows & respects his humble greatness. ❤
Thank you! That was very kind of you.
certainly one of the best if not the best solo ever performed
My guitar watches this when im out of the house.
Je je...
Ha ha... some of us watch while you're out of the house, too!
😂 As he dreams of playing like that!
Of course its guitar porn!!
Funny, my guitars watch videos on stripping guitar bodies...
First we were here for George, then for Prince, and now for Tom.
Unforgettable performance here. RIP.
itwontcomeout5678 I knows so sad such legendary artists on this stage
Dont forget Roy
My thoughts exactly. Its got me on the verge of tears. And im sure they all knew the signifigance of this concert when it was made...
What do you mean WE ? 🤨 Prince Rogers Nelson!
Marc Mann, the guitarist with Jeff Lynne’s band, plays Eric Clapton’s memorable lines from the album version of the song. But Prince, who essentially stood in the dark for most of the performance, burned the stage to the ground at the song’s end. @_@
I've watched this video so many times and only on reading this comment did I realise that Prince is stood just on the edge of the stage the whole time rather than coming on later.
This performance is 20 years old and it is still one of the best - Prince was just other worldly - the best of the best RIP 💜
You know your a bad azz when you can kill a song like that, throw a guitar in the air and have God catch that motherfucker. That guitar went to heaven.
+Bad-Jet!
Valhalla! That guitar will feast with the gods!
True Statement!!
Truer words haven't been spoken, and if they have, it wasn't on this plane of existence.
+Bad-Jet! Haha, I thought it just turned into doves in mid air and flew away.
+Bad-Jet! I think he threw it up to George so he could keep playing up there...
If they don't play this song at my funeral, I'm not going.
BET 💜💜💜💜💜
If it's your funeral you will be there as it's your funeral .
you can only hear Tom Petty after your funeral, for he's already there.......

I loved him since 1974
Please do not overlook the vocals of Jeff Lynne...haunting...hauntingly awesom...
Absolutely❤❤❤
Prince didn't die, he just went up to look for his guitar.
damn, where did she go ?
Jimi Hendrick caught it for him!!!
Exactly
Martin McConnell That is the most beautiful tribute to Prince that I've ever read.
Martin McConnell
Well I wish, as probably many many others do that he'd find that guitar and come back! The man is a legend, phenomenal talent. Phenomenal musician and a phenomenal human being!! Unfortunately he had his demons and addictions like most pure beautiful humans tend to have!. RIP Prince🙏🙏🙏🙏 My very first concert!, Purple Rain which musically changed me to this day!
I don't think I've ever appreciated Prince more. His guitar didn't gently weep; it stood up and demanded respect.
"His guitar didnt gently weep, it stood up and demanded respect!" That was such a bad ass comment Melissa!! I love it! haha
That’s why I don’t think it really fits with the song. It’s not called while my guitar violently shreds...
Superdelphinus idk bout that, it may be called while my guitar gently weeps, but when you hear Clapton lead guitar through the song it sounds like a caged lion thats finally let out during the middle and end solo. Prince simply added his lil twist to it, he still made that guitar cry plenty of time throughout his solo.
melissa thompson : That guitar didn’t weep it was sobbing and probably still is to this day ❗️Rest In Peace oGreat one 🌹❤️‼️❤️ never another❤️‼️❤️‼️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️
Most ppl don't know how a good musician he was. It's kind of sad. A true genious according to me.
Billions of light years in existence and all comes to this....
I love the dialog between George Harrison’s son and Prince through their eyes. What an amazing rendition ❤❤❤
Prince never received enough credit for his guitar work. This speaks for itself.
RIGHT !!!!! PRINCE WAS AH BADD ASS...CHECK OUT HIS EARLY WORK...Song called BAMBI
He was objectively one of the greatest guitarists to ever live. I'm a die hard metal fan and a marty friedman freak, but even ill admit no one made that instrument say "fuck me bb" more than prince.
I had no idea he could play like that I wish he would have don't it more
Prince rules forever
He never spoke a word. He and his guitar. That was it. And, oh, what a heavenly combination. Simply brilliant to watch. Another poster here explained why. He was the thunder that comes before the storm.
imagine being so talented that being one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time is considered a little known fact about you.
Seriously
+perimeterpost not only was he arguably one of the best guitarists of all time he could play LOADS of different instruments at very high level.
I hear you! So underrated as a player is unreal...
Actually, other real musicians in the industry were well aware of his guitar skills. I recall reading multiple interviews with the best of them. They would reference Prince as one of the best, Clapton was one to have acknowledged that years ago. So did others.
Well said. I was kind of thinking the same thing. I really was not so cognizant of how damn talented he was on guitar. Really amazing talent. Prince could have probably played guitar in any band ever and stood out. He ripped it in this video. Really great to see.
Prince was subbed off the list of best guitarist and this was his response. FUCKING LEGEND!!
Most underrated guitar player.
George Harrison's kid's smile kills me every time.
imagine playing with all of these other folks, and thinking omg this is legendary,.
Me TOO
He's his father's twin!!!
Dhani and yes, great smile.
He's loving it. He's mesmerized by Prince
Can we talk about the fact that Prince did a trust fall right in the middle of one of the greatest solos ever and didn’t even stop playing?
Like he was “Slain in the Spirit” 😇 🌬🎸😆
You sentence doesn't make sense PLEASE CLARIFY???
What??
@@petergreen5337 at 4:45, Prince falls backwards, trust that the person in front of the stage will catch him. And he never stops playing while falling backward.
I am sure this part was rehearsed, but it's impressive in any case.
😂
I love the look on Tom Petty's face when he gets vaporized by Prince's guitar solo.
Prince went off like that for being left out of the 50 greatest guitarists of all time. Amazing!
The look of joy on Dani Harrison’s face during prince’s solo is so heartwarming
Agreed a hundred-fold, not only did George respect Prince's playing he said he was the best. So to have a Dad fave play his part in this incredible song and have Prince go God mode on it must've been gospel to young Harrison.
Also Tom Petty who's struggling to keep a straight face when Prince is propped up from the crowd in front of him and is laying down some crazy stuff :) Petty's also urging him on soon after, so much for the much-discussed battle of egos ...
I’ve said the same thing... he looks at him in pure a amazement
He was proper starstruck!
Well, believe it or not, Dhani was not that fond of Prince's solo as one might think… Listen to this: ruclips.net/video/zQLPd-aw_mM/видео.html
I just love how George’s son gets so excited when Prince plays❤️
It's superb. The little grin on his face as he knows what's coming....... GOLD
He is genuinely happy. He does what I would do and gets very excited
When i originally saw this, they had an filming of George's son and he is clapping and the gang is all around him. He then says, I am going to meet Prince and had a genuine smile on him to go meet with Prince and Prince smiled at him. BEST moment
Fun fact: Dhani Harrison actually said Prince's performance was too gratuitous and that it ruined the whole performance
jonathon well he stands alone in that incorrect thought.
Prince. Either “Purple Rain” at the 2007 Super Bowl halftime show in a torrential downpour, or “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony (with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, et al). No rehearsal. He just walked onstage, blew everyone away, tossed his guitar into the air & walked away; didn’t even wait for the applause. Simply AMAZING. ✌🏼
Walked off like “take that bitches”!! 🤣🤣
Dhani Harrison's face as Prince is about to solo on his dad's song has to be the best thing ever
Alex Delarge That look... that’s the look of happiness and respect.
I thought that too and he seemed to smile more once he knew Prince was about to play
That look and Prince’s performance makes me cry, laugh and smile every time. I never get tired of watching this video
Yeah I thought the same but the disappointment of hearing his comments later....
@@MarylandManson29 what did Dhani comment?
Everybody: *plays song*
Prince: *steps out of shadow*
*slays song*
I mean COMPLETELY bodies it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha he did aye as soon as he he did i was sitting there thinking “this fkn guy haha”
That cat on the strat ripping the weeping guitar theme throughout, note for note, bend for bend, was killing it.
Prince was a musician beyond description. I am not much of a fan of a lot of his music, yet he outshines everyone on the stage. What a legend. We lost him too soon.
@@xmillion1704 I'm still wondering who that was. He was on the Concert For George, telegraphing chords to Dhani too.
How can you watch a video over and over again for years? Simple it has every GOAT there is in it, and Prince, just took it to another level.
With some other great music legends already gone, we can't lose Jeff Lynne (ELO), the world won't be the same. I won't be able to live with music created by AI when our generation have experienced true great musicians playing music with real instruments with their exceptional abilities.
I've been looking at/listening to this incredible performance for the better part of 3 years now. It's amazing to me how folks want to minimize and in some cases downright belittle Prince's solo work here, just because it can be imitated and copied (to a pretty close degree) by amateur guitar players who are plainly much less talented than he is.
For my money, great guitar solos aren't necessarily about degree-of-difficulty. It's about how those solos affect you as a listener, and for me as a retired professional musician, how they affect me personally. As a young man I played country and country/rock music for a living, 75% of the time it was country fiddle, 25% of it was country/rock rhythm guitar.
I had the good fortune to be given violin lessons starting as a 4-year-old boy. I majored in music and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. I've played every Beethoven symphony at least once (Beethoven composed 9 symphonies), and I don't know how many times I've played the 5th.
If you ask a classically trained violinist, they'll tell you that the violin parts (1st and 2nd violin parts) for Beethoven's 5th are not very difficult to play for a professional violinist, especially when compared to many other pieces in the classical music repertoire.
But Beethoven's 5th is great because the music is PROFOUND. Not because it's difficult to play.
This is how Prince's solo work strikes me here in this incredible performance. To state the obvious, if you'll notice, it's other guitar players copying Prince (one young man on this thread has a RUclips clip of himself imitating Prince's solo on this song); NOT Prince imitating other guitar players.
Prince wrote these fabulous guitar interludes. They may not be Eddie van Halen/Ingwe Malmsteen, speed-of-light blaze-fests. But they are soulful and stirring. As a listener they Pull You In, not Bow You Away.
To me all the back and forth about who is a greater guitar player is downright silly. Enjoy each player for who they are and what they bring to the table. Most musicians aren't into Keeping Score and trying to figure out if they're better or not as good as the next guy earning his bread as a fellow musician.
They're secure in their own musicianship, and rejoice when they hear someone who plays and sings in a way that they really enjoy, even if that person is much more talented than they are.
Kind of like pro basketball. Dr. J was so good, the guys on the other team's bench were high-fiving and digging his game, not chewing their fingernails with envy.
Genius deserves respect, and I certainly render it to Prince - truly one of the outstanding all-around musicians of our time. And a pretty doggone good guitar player into the bargain!
holy shit
you are damn right ...!!!
+So Mad Price jamed that!
+So Mad ....... Very well stated,Mr.Mad.
+So Mad I fully agree. A friend of mine never understood why I loved Prince so much...until I showed him this video! We are both guitar players, by the way. For those who say his solo is "not so great" or whatever just watch the other musicians on stage. What's their reaction?
Damn, Prince was a badass! I love all of those other musicians, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Steve Ferrone, Dhani Harrison, and the rest, but there will never be another Prince.
Who is the guitarist playing lead/Eric Clapton's part from the original version? The guy on Jeff Lynne's right?
Dude. Don't say stupid shit.
True Story
but he is so overated his solo was so messy! and not very clear
I've always respected Prince, but since his death I've watch countless videos of him. He was a rare talent. This performance just adds to his great legend. Of course, what a great song with some of my favorite musicians!
Already talked to God & we have an understanding - I gotta meet Prince first. He understood.🥰
I watch this multiple times a year and get blown away by it. Princes performance is amazing. Its a perfect performance on the best stage. It has to rank as one of the best steal the show moments of all time. right? The whole look with the red pimped outfit. The falling backwards while his guitar weeps. The throwing the guitar in the air at the end. Its a total show stopper performance. The baddest dude on the planet.
FACT: The Story is, Joel Gallen the producer of the show, thought it was a good idea to have Prince do the Guitar solo for My Guitar Gently Weeps to honor the late George Harrison who was inducted in the RRHOF. Olivia Harrison [George’s widow] asked Jeff and Tom if they would come along and induct George. They were told Prince is going to play too,” and they were like, “Wow, that’s fantastic.” Prince was inducted the same night, so everything worked out great. Tom Petty even said to Prince “Just cut loose and don’t feel sort of inhibited to copy anything that we have, just play your thing, just have a good time.” The vocals and Guitar solo were outstanding. Masterpiece!
Don't know how you got that info.. but thanks.
But this is ONE TIME.. NOBODY said " Show Off", because everything flowed soo smoothly.
It just DOES NOT GET OLD.. AND NEVER WILL.
@@charissemodeste6489 From a Tom Petty interview with the New York Times.
Ok
That's a better explanation than mine. It makes more sense too. Prince, when confronted with doubters, would just act like...well listen to this MF's. Like I said Prince's extended solo is much more emotional than Eric's (or the guy that played it note for note). I really felt it's what the song deserved. Records had to be shorter back then: I'm not blaming Eric. Prince set the bar so high, I doubt it will ever be eclipsed. Steven Pettinga. Indy
Thats about right, but you left out that Harrison's widow didn't really want Prince to play on the tribute. It was nothing against Princes. She just wanted musicians who'd actually played with George and Prince had not. The producer assured her that she wouldn't be disappointed. At the rehearsal, Prince didn't get to practice the solo because the other guy stepped up and played both of them.
The way Prince tosses his guitar and struts offstage at the end. Priceless.
yes😍😍😍😍
+Political Princess like a boss
The guitar goes up but never comes down???
+Political Princess the red pimp hat, that smirk that says I DID that classic Prince
+Political Princess Some lucky person out there caught that quitar. You can bet on that.
I love how George Harrison’s son is smiling like he is having the time of his life! ✨🪬✨🌈✨💗✨
62 yrs. and I've seen a thing or two, but this tops it all.
seeing Dhani Harrison smile like that when Prince comes and plays is one of the best things on RUclips.
And then later in life he trash talks prince, saying his solo was "gratuitous".
I have never seen Dhani smile like that.. but I think he and Tom were actually frightened of what out of control drama stunt was coming since Prince on drugs is not a good combo... how do I know this you ask? ..you don’t want to know!! Some ppl shouldn’t do drugs.. js.
@@gigisasz4580 Prince was never a drug addict look him up before you speak he was devout Jehovah witness . His death was an accidental overdose on shit he never liked. Prince was very talented on alot instrument and self taught. The man was a musical genius
@@ritagauna8943 Prince was honestly both great and addicted.
@@yendorelrae5476 ummmm lmfao at the end of his life yes addicted because of his doctor 🙄 you obviously didn't follow Prince either other than what you heard via the news
One of the greatest improvised solos EVER, may Prince and George Harrison's memories be eternal.
Prince is not dead. He faked his death like hundreds of stars. Witness Protection. Research.
Ur missing a few legends there.
absurd. stock licks that have been played hundreds of thousands of times by others.
Tom Petty 🎼🙏💖legends for sure🎼🙏💖
@@phasespace4700 BLASPHEMY! 🧐 JEALOUS MUCH???
The fact is the prince never ever played standard licks. He never played anything standard even when he was playing jazz standards.
NOT TO MENTION THERE WAS NEVER A MORE GENEROUS ARTIST ON STAGE.💖💖💖💖
Among his many outstanding talents, the music genius Jeff Lynne (ELO) is a fantastic singer.💯❤❤❤😎👍
His vocals fit perfectly with this song.
Prince's guitar is an extension of his body. He went low to the floor as a form of sacrifice and it was beautiful.
Dhani Harrison smiling in awe while watching Prince play his solo is everything to me
I know, right? That's like the most beautiful thing on youtube right now
Dhani was obviously enjoying every moment of what he was privileged to witness, until the rock and roll elders told him to get his ass in line and never acknowledge the greatness before him. Thank God we don't have to have official acceptance of greatness as it runs us all over.
also Prince was held back by a security guy so he wont fall down at that moment
Well said my friend.... I'd say George would love the tribute and Dhani approved. What a moment in music history!!
Me too. I love Dhani
