That was like his 4th encore of the night... you asked for prime Prince, you do realize that he dropped 42 studio albums (not including his live and video albums)... you will be enjoying his music for a VERY long time. He was (in my opinion) the most prolific popular musical artist of our time.
Totally agree. That's not including the music he gave other artists or didn't release as well. He claimed the unreleased stuff wasn't good enough but I'm sure it was solid, just not to his high standard.
The Sign O the Times live concert is pretty amazing from I think 1987 but there are some quality videos on RUclips from it. There are also really good show videos of everything from his big concerts to some of his live appearances on talk shows where he is just sitting playing acoustic by himself which are just so good. Either way, cant go wrong...i was fortunate to see him live in 2014 and i feel bad for everyone now who wont be able to experience it anymore
Great reaction again! Prince is absolutely incredible and it really shows in this performance! It is incredible to see him walking around that huge stage with all of the different musicians playing their instruments and to know that Prince could walk up to any of them at any point, ask for their instrument, and play a solo that could blow the roof off of that place is just incredible. I just recently found out this little piece of info so I thought I'd share it. Prince was all self-taught on all of the instruments he played and he couldn't read music. He taught himself how to play piano, his first instrument, when he was just 7 years old! According to Prince childhood friends, he could play piano and guitar, two instruments, very well by age 11. By age 12, the following year, he had taught himself how to play 20 instruments. That means Prince, in only one year, at age 11, taught himself to play 18 instruments with no lessons, no books, just listening to the radio and records, holding the instruments, and playing along! Prince himself admitted that he mastered 20 instruments by the age of 12! That is incredible! He had such speed with how he picked up things. Also, one time according to his staff at his home and recording studio. Prince was recording a song and he wanted to have a harp track and solo played throughout the song. Prince, at this point, had never picked up the harp before, so he hired a professional harpist to play on the track. The harpist, for whatever reason, could not play the solo the way Prince wanted, so he thanked her and sent her on her way. After she left, Prince turned to his staff and said, "Well. I still need a harp." So his staff ordered a full-sized harp and had it delivered to his home/studio. He opened the box, took the harp out, and brought it into his studio. He then fiddled around with the harp for about five-ten minutes, then, according to his staff who were present, he hit play on the track and proceeded to play the entire harp track and solo that even the professional couldn't play. He had never picked it up before that moment! If that doesn't scream "GENIUS" then I don't know what does! Sorry if this comment is too long, there is just so much information to learn about him. You should check out "America - Live 1985" That is Prince at the top of his game according to many people, although personally, I don't think he was ever not at the top of his game! That would be a great reaction!!! Thanks, sorry again for the super long comment.
@Sherylanne Bonczek To be fair Music was in Prince's genes, he was the son of jazz singer Mattie Della (née Shaw) and pianist and songwriter John Lewis Nelson. His father's stage name was "Prince Rogers". Prince came from a very musical family background. RIP Prince.
You should check out I Could Never Take the Place Of Your Man from the Sign Of the Times concert film. That for most Prince fans is the time of his artistic prime (although he still continued making some great songs through to his death in 2016). You say you like guitar solos this one is pretty great and it's beautifully filmed with perfect audio. Or check out All The Critics Love You In Montreux from 2009. It's a track I show to anyone who doesn't get Prince - if that doesn't change their mind nothing will. It's from 2009 so his body had started to cause him trouble so he was concentrating on showcasing his musicianship and band more. No more dancing but INCREDIBLE playing.
The stage is in the shape of his symbol. The late Johny Blackwell on drums, Ida Nelisen on bass, Ranato Neto, Morrish Hayes and Cassandra ONeil on keys, Shelby J Eliza Dese and Love Wakefield vox and the twins dancing
The song play that funky music white boy was written by Robert Parissi for the band "Wild Cherry" in the 70's but prince was in one of many artists who performed it only once I think in LA Inglewood at the Forum home of the LA Lakers then. Saw prince live 1987 what a talent probably the greatest musical talent I've ever seen. Check out out some of his live performances on RUclips. Yes he's a great guitarist but him on keyboard or piano, priceless. What a talent. How much so, he wrote so many hit songs for other famous artists. Thank you for your great reactions love it.
A white band called "Wild Cherry" originally did this song called Play that funky music! Prince did a fantastic job on his version of the song. Prince Rogers Nelson is a musical genius! I love me some Prince. Prince can play over 27 different instruments. He sings, writes, produces, and dances etc. I have always been a huge fan. I love, and miss him so very much. RIP Prince 🙏💜💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏
Check out the film "Mr. Nelson: On the Northside." Fantastic documentary about Prince's roots in North Minneapolis. Just won best independent documentary at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
Prince the Ultimate showman & best and most complete Musician & Live performer the world has ever seen! He has so much fun on stage it's contagious. O(+> 4ever
The amazing Renato Neto om keyboards. A one in a billion talent like prince has global reach to recruit talent. Renato is from Brazil, twin dancers from Australia and Ida the bass player is from Holland I believe.
Ok, U want to see him go absolutely crazy on the White Cloud guitar check out Purple Rain live in Syracuse New York 1985. That night! He was definitely at the top of his game.😮😊
Prince’s music videos and studio tracks were cool. BUT what separates him from every artist before, during, and since he passed away in 2016 was his LIVE PERFORMANCES 💜 As you dive deeper in his catalog you will see as you already know that he wrote, arranged, composed, and performed along with playing several instruments 😉💜
Prince played all 21 instruments on his debut album "FOR YOU" (1978) and subsequent albums throughout his career with help from The Revolution and various variations of The N.P.G. The man could do it ALL by himself if he so wished. There'll never be another one like him. I was lucky enough to have seen him live 18 times throughout my life from 1990 - 2014. Hands down the greatest live performer EVER.
The stage isn't shaped in "8", that would have been too casual for Prince. It's shaped in "Love Symbol", the name he used during his feud with Warner Bros (the artist formerly known as Prince) and a shape he created. Well, since you said you're a hip-hop head, there's a very short snippet of Digital Underground's "Humpty Dance" bass line (the dooo-weee part) at 11:33. DU also sampled him, especially the scream from "Sexuality" in "Doowutchyalike" and "She's always in my hair" on "Sex packets". If you're looking for more Prince on top of his game, check out his Montreux concerts : ruclips.net/video/9zTJWCT1tiM/видео.html And his 1985 Purple Rain syracuse concert (VPN set to France mandatory) : ruclips.net/video/ZvubqvqBqzo/видео.html
Great reaction man, you are witnessing the GOAT 😃. Will react to “America” live 1985 and “while my guitar gently weeps “ the 2021 version of the 2004 rock and roll hall of fame tribute to George Harrison 😃💜
I miss him so much. The stage aint an 8, its actually his name (the symbol). Post more Prince reaction videos. His fanbase is huge and we find it magical when the younger generation discovers him.
You watched 13 mins of Prince and now you know why We All Love Prince … Nothing compares to Prince I was blessed to grow up while He was making music and even more blessed to see Him 13 times Live, those were Hands down The Best Moments of my life💜🙌🏻👏🏻 If you Love guitar…you have to listen to Motherless Child, Purple Rain live in Milan and Dortmund, Empty Room live in Switzerland and so much more Also listen even if you don’t see Him to Just My Imagination…He blows you out of the water coz that Solo is absolutely mind boggling Have fun in discovering Prince
This is just 100 % pure joy! Love watching you enjoy it and get the 'feels'. Prince could stir up any emotion inside you. This just makes you want to put that 'funk face' on and get dancing! The guitar and bass solos are magnificent. Try this one ...Prince - Super Bowl Halftime Show 2007 FULL SHOW. Watch the full 13 minute set. This is ranked as the best Super Bowl show in history, and since 2007, only Beyonce comes anywhere close in matching it i think. It rained so hard, was windy and was very dangerous on a slippery stage (him and his dancers in high heels) , also very dangerous playing live guitars. Electricity and water, not a good mix! Apparently the 3 guitars he played, never played properly again. When Prince was told about the weather forecast, he said “Can you make it rain harder?” Legend! ruclips.net/video/-WYYlRArn3g/видео.html
Prime Prince: Housequake-sign of the times movie/concert. Prince purple rain AMAs(American music award 1985).prince gett off mtv music awards 1991. Later Prince Montreux 2009 “little red corvette”or “I love u but I don’t trust you anymore”
Please listen to Prince's Santana Medley. Off the chain💜💜💜. That was Prince's personal stage in the shape of his love symbol. The drummer was the best there was John Blackwell. May he rest in peace 🕊️. By the way he didn't do that much singing because that was encore #3 out of 4
Very cool that you reacted to this one. This performance was one of many encores. Prince is beyond amazing. He checks every box. You gotta react to "When Doves Cry" the extended version. It was one of his biggest hits. Here's the link. ruclips.net/video/IUc0R8bbWQE/видео.html
love you LILJI finally got you in my channel💜💜little Jay you're so hot and you probably work too young when Prince was fire but I wasn't and I'm going to start sending you some of my favorite Prince songs I saw him six times 💜💜talk about amazing it was like a spiritual wild experience that left you in AWEEE every time 💜
THERE IS AN CONCERT AT THE STAPLES CENTER IN APRIL 2004 THE MUSICOLOGY TOUR CAN BE SEEN ON THE RUclips CHANNEL CALLED P WORLD 🌎 YOU WILL ENJOY. IT'S A FULL-LENGTH CONCERT. HE KILLS A GUITAR SOLO ON THE SONG QUESTION OF U /THE ONE 😲
Watch his movie Purple Rain. He was twenty four and it shot him to fame. He was abused and made to leave his home at 12. The mother of his best friend took him in. He was quite an enigma as he was shy, very polite and clean living but could do hood if needed. After Purple Rain he used the money made to build Paisley Park, a three recording studio and film making facility. He never left his home town. A great solo is Bambi in Tokyo.
Bizzy bone did a remake call "play that fucking music" he rap in the booth in the video for the song. Check it out. Its rapid fire. When thugs cry is also a remake from prince.
Yes Prince plays 27 instruments.The amount of creativity, passion, vision, songwriting, and arrangement skills Prince showed to create albums was unparalleled. We are going to list the instruments he played on “For You”. Electric guitar Acoustic guitar Bass Bass synth Singing bass Fuzz bass Electric piano Acoustic piano Minimoog Polymoog ARP String Ensemble ARP Pro Soloist Oberheim Four Voice Clavinet Drums Syndrums Water drums Slapsticks Bongos Congas Finger cymbals Wind chimes Orchestral bells Woodblocks Brush trap Hand claps Finger snaps Even though Prince was so gifted in playing various instruments, the best way to view his creativity is through the quality of music he created rather than just the number of instruments he could play. If you only take into account the number of instruments, you can see that even a regular percussionist can play around 20 of them. Later on in his career, Prince had also played instruments such as organ, harmonica, and flute. Prince’s Love and Devotion for Musical Instruments prince on stage how many instruments did prince play
He was homeless at the age of twelve and knew nobody was going to be there for him but himself and set a gruelling work ethic to be the best at what he could do, music. He was a hard band leader and demanded perfection but when you are playing with the best you get motivated to do better. He wrote a song, recorded it and produced it and put it in the vault nearly every day. Over 8000 unreleased songs plus albums and films along with filmed concerts and rehearsals I the vault. Every genre of music played. Brilliant jazz player. Listen to his first engineer for five years at the beginning and listen to her explain his work ethic and talent. No other musician was so prolific. He wrote many top songs for other musicians.
Glad to see you listening to this wonderful all-encompassing GREAT ENTERTAINER PRINCE! You should watch "Shhh" from 2004 concert. Motherless child video, his Creep cover at Coachella.
U can check out "once upon a time in minneaoplis" series on you tube. It talks about the man behind the music. "Feline" sound check is a 33min long song u can jam to, that has a lot of guitar. "Old friends for sale" from 1985 and "old friends for sale from 2013, is 2 different songs lyrically, but you l l hear the variety prince brings. Another cool reaction
Check out anything friom the Purple Rain soundtrack, that was at the height of everything...although, everything he did throughout his careet was amazing in my opinion.
It's funny that the media tried so hard to paint him as a mystery because he rarely gave interviews. But he was so transparent about who he was. True fans of his got all the tea about him at his live performances 💜👑 Try his 1985 performance called America in France.
Check out Prince 90s stuff, Days of Wild, Daisy Chain, and if you like guitar look up the Undertaker... Been a huge fan since 1988... There's so much....
Also how many people knew that Prince appeared on Muppets Tonight Show and did a funny skit dress as a cowboy singing with a country twang. The song was funny.
Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry '76 Hollywood Swinging - Kool and the Gamd '74 Fantastic Voyage - Lakeside '80. All 3 are funky tunes, made nasty fonky by Prince. The stage setup is Prince's Love Symbol O(+> Please keep diving deep on Prince! Maybe another artist to check out Sly and the Family Stone?
I miss him so much I can’t even listen to him much anymore. But its been the same with certain Queen songs and Freddie’s been gone for 30 years 😮 anyway try Metallicas “Call of Ktulu” is amazing. The S &M version is even better!
No all 3 of these songs were from other artists. Play That funky Music was from the group White Cherry the original artist. Hollywood Swinging original artist was Kool And The Gang. Fantastic Voyage the original was by the group Lakeside. But Prince could still put his own unique spin on anything.
Gospel, Country, R and B, Pop, Rock, you'll be surprised how many songs and artist this man wrote for.
If you love guitar solos, then do Prince’s PURPLE RAIN live from Syracuse.
He made his guitar SING.
That was like his 4th encore of the night... you asked for prime Prince, you do realize that he dropped 42 studio albums (not including his live and video albums)... you will be enjoying his music for a VERY long time. He was (in my opinion) the most prolific popular musical artist of our time.

Please get out my head with that statement you hit it right on point
Prince played all 21 instruments on his debut album "FOR YOU" (1978) and subsequent albums throughout his career with help from The Revolution and various variations of The N.P.G.

Favorite live performance, Manchester Something in the water/ Does not compute. Wish they would put the whole concert up. Favorite video. Automatic.

It's funny that the media tried so hard to paint him as a mystery because he rarely gave interviews. But he was so transparent about who he was. True fans of his got all the tea about him at his live performances 💜👑
Try his 1985 performance called America in France.
I Miss him Much 🥲🥲🥲💜💜💜🎸🎸🎸💜💜💜
it was wild cherry that had a hit with play that funky music
27+++ instruments 💜👍
Check out Prince 90s stuff, Days of Wild, Daisy Chain, and if you like guitar look up the Undertaker... Been a huge fan since 1988... There's so much....
Yes! The Undertaker.
The stage is his symbol name
When you look up music in the dictionary, you see Prince!
He played 27 instruments with noooo formal training, that's called a musical GENIUS!!!
Also keep in mind. This is not even the actual concert. Its an encore performance after the actual concert!!
Watch empty room live it will blow you away
Play that funky music (wild cherry). Hollywood swinging (kool &the gang).
His bass solo , Out of this world!!!!
I believe this was their 3rd encore
That bass guitar looks like a Klingon blade weapon
Also how many people knew that Prince appeared on Muppets Tonight Show and did a funny skit dress as a cowboy singing with a country twang. The song was funny.
27 instruments
Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry '76
Hollywood Swinging - Kool and the Gamd '74
Fantastic Voyage - Lakeside '80.
All 3 are funky tunes, made nasty fonky by Prince. The stage setup is Prince's Love Symbol O(+> Please keep diving deep on Prince!
Maybe another artist to check out Sly and the Family Stone?
They refused to let him leave that night
React to “temptation” by prince for around the world in the day album!! Do it bro!
I miss him so much I can’t even listen to him much anymore. But its been the same with certain Queen songs and Freddie’s been gone for 30 years 😮 anyway try Metallicas “Call of Ktulu” is amazing. The S &M version is even better!
Eric Clapton was once asked how does it feel to be the best guitar player ever and he said I don't know you will have to ask PRINCE!!!
No all 3 of these songs were from other artists. Play That funky Music was from the group White Cherry the original artist. Hollywood Swinging original artist was Kool And The Gang. Fantastic Voyage the original was by the group Lakeside. But Prince could still put his own unique spin on anything.
Keyboard man who is playing Renato Neto
Original version by Wild Cherry
It is a cover but he has rearranged it somewhat. Another great cover he does is ‘Creep’ by Radiohead.

Search colonized mind live in Santa Giuliana Perugia
Two and four, means he has to teach we white people to clap in time. You know we have no rhythm.
