If yall get a chance pull up Prince backing Chaka Chan live on guitar singing Sweet thing!! It blew my mind!! Love you Prince everything you touched turns to music!!💜💜💜💜💜💔
Amen. There is no doubt in my mind the greatest Super Bowl halftime moment was Prince singing Purple Rain....in the rain. Gives me goosebumps thinking about what a perfect moment in time it was. The show producers were so afraid and explained to Prince that it would definitely be raining during the halftime show. They asked him if there was anything they could do for him. His response, "Can you make it rain harder?" The ultimate professional. He left us way too soon and is sorely missed.
@@lloydertel1 well prince beats him tell me what instruments Prince can’t play how many songs did prince write I love Stevie but Princes talent goes above and beyond anybody
I think both Stevie Wonder and Prince are musical geniuses. Their library of great songs and instrumentals speak for themselves. Birds fly ,that's what they do.They ❤ the sky.
Prince was a consummate guitarist and musical genius. The song calls for rhythm guitar so that's what he plays. It's surprising how many guitarists that play very well are clueless when it comes to playing rhythm.
I don’t think the guitar ever actually worked, at least not before the video ends. Too bad, I’m sure Prince wanted to play a blazing solo, and I’d have loved to have seen it.
@@LukeMcCormick-cellear Yeah, it's in there the whole time after the tech replaced the dead cable. Prince is just playing a little bright sounding chuck chuck chuck-a-chuck rhythm. Check around 4:14-4:16 there's a moment where it stands out clearly. He's not trying to steal the show, just be a member of the band. I think it's great.
@@PhillipLandmeier Yes, Prince throws in a few fills. Unfortunately, Stevie completely drowns out the last one when he calls for the crowd to scream. They wouldn't have had a whole pedal board ready for Prince to make his typical lead sounds. But the rhythm "chucks" are classic Prince funk, and add to the song, making it dirtier and more danceable.
I was at a Santana concert in Miami, early 90’s…Prince showed up at the end of the concert, more than half the people left, I stayed cause I was coming down from shrooms. Santana came out & tried to get everyone to come back in the concert cause Prince showed up & wanted to jam a little. It was me, my best friend & a handful of people left in the audience…and Prince & Santana on stage…pure magic. What a gift.
So between Stevie Wonder and Prince on that stage is virtual musical omnipresence. Two more talented musician, song writer, performers, and producers have never graced any stage at any time IMHO, unbelievable !
I love how Prince didn't try to play Stevie riff. Just vamped on something different and let the music come back when Stevie did. Pure class and music smarts.
Prince just coming on stage and casually leaning over Stevie's shoulder and playing keyboard like a boss. He was from another planet, I get goosebumps every time I see a video of him playing.
💜 O+-> 💜. A true Maestro. Webster's definition of a Maestro is an eminent composer, conductor, or teacher of music and Prince was all of those things so much more. ☮🕊💜🎶 You are beautiful, loved and missed ☔️
Awesome ... Stevie, Prince & Sheila E on the same stage .. That must have been a hell of an experience ... R.I.P. Prince ... You went on too young ....
As a kid in the 70's, Stevie was my guy. My favorite jam was and is " I Wish ". Growing up broke , that song checked all the boxes. As an adult, Prince to me is the REAL KING OF POP, SOUL, R&B, FUNK and ROCK GUITAR !
I'm a mid 60's hard rock/metal head. Growing up my parents taught to appreciate music. I've always loved Prince since Let's go Crazy and that melting guitar solo at the end. Many were crowning him the new Hendrix. He would have non of that. He wanted only to be himself and share what he loved doing most with the world. That he did as good as any artist ever could. RIP Mr. Prince. You're very much missed.
Prince, Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay... think it was 2010... best concert ever. He sang, danced, played many instruments for *hours* with no break. It was magical and I feel so blessed to have witnessed it. Miss him dearly.
This isn't a world without Prince that what makes Prince and just a very few others so special and rare. They are forever an impact on the things that follow their short time here on Earth. He was so many things to the music world. He brought his music to us without a true genre attached. His mastery and showmanship on the guitar was Jimmi 21st century, his voice was limitless in range and tone, he brought a touch of funk into a popish dance style, his on stage dance style was off the charts, Purple Rain crossed into a realm of Metal that was an anthem for the times that will have a forever appeal, and he brought with all the talent a personality that was mysterious and shy but it also left us captivated because we knew he was only going to allow us subtle hints as to what he had going on in his mind. Ten generations from now he will be just as appreciated and Interested in musically as he was ten yrs ago.
Prince is a class act... It is my honest belief that he is UNDERRATED. This may sound ridiculous but dude owned the guitar, sang like a damn angel, dressed like he WAS fashion, and all that will being as humble as this video proves. RIP to the greatest preformer of our time
Eric Kestner I totally agree. His shows were just magic, and sadly I only saw them on video. Don't forget the man's dancing and choreography out of this world! :- )
There's a lot of bands that don't know how to think on the fly. Ive heard of artists wanting to join a band on stage and not being able to because they couldn't find an amp or something ridiculous like that. But this band, Notice them switching instruments and helping Prince plug in. They all know exactly what they're doing on that stage and know how to make room for others. Real professionalism right there. Not that I would expect anything less from a Stevie Wonder band.
That's the "stage manager" who handles all that.. Keeps everything in order "JUST IN CASE" not just in case another musican rolls in but just in case something happens with equipment. amps, mics, etc. they gotta be ready to keep it together. Most bands they're looking for groupies to collect for after the concert to " meet the band".. Not here...
Most of the first 1:26 is filling because there's an issue backstage. Imagine that in front of many thousands of fans, we've started, 8 bars till Prince, 7, 6, wait,: no Prince? Takes a moment to recover, band and even crew joining in the whole clap your hands thing... Ok, break it down to the drums then... Such composure under pressure
I got the immense pleasure of witnessing this very thing at Madison Square Garden years ago, except it was just Stevie on stage , solo. He was playing this song when a tiny man came walking out with a guitar, in a purple suit and stilettos.👠Let me tell you: YOU COULD NOT HEAR A THING OF MUSIC FOR FIVE MINUTES STRAIGHT. That entire place went bananas and erupted in joy, screams and amazement. 😍 it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Simply one of the greatest moment of my life . 💜🔥🕺💫

From a 52 year old white guy in Omaha, I've listened to both their music as long as I can remember! Awesome video I just discovered this moment I'm posting! Love this song!
How the fuck have I never seen this before?!! This has absolutely made my day and will keep me buzzing for the next week. Also, how good were his band improvising, setting up the guitar no quibbles? Proper professional musicians ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man I was so into that but when it cut out I was like," WHAT!!!!! I WAS JAMMING"!! What a treat to the eyes and ears! Stevie and Prince!!! As far as Prince goes I'm not sure which is better his recorded music or his live concerts!!!! Either way that man was AWESOME!
I love watching how this unfolds....handlers get the word, they tell Mr Wonder, he almost starts then decides to vamp and give the drummer some, crowd cheers when Prince appears ....respect
Agreed, yet I'm guessing it wasn't totally spontaneous. Prince isn't just around staying near by and Stevie didn't know about it. But still it was cool how it felt that way.
Absolutely timeless, literally. The clip's runtime seemed to fly by, as true art happened before my eyes. When I thought it was halfway through, it only had 40 seconds to go...🎼🎹🎤🎸🥁
@@scottash351 It doesn't look very planned at all. Notice how Prince straps on his guitar and starts playing, and a roadie doesn't even show up to plug him in for about 30 seconds.
The crowd's reaction when Prince walks on the stage and seeing Prince smiling and having fun and showing respect to Stevie is just fantastic ... 💜 O(+> 4ever!
I attended the Stevie Wonder concert in Jacksonville in 1986. It was the best concert I ever attended. It started on time AND he sounded just like the record. He has so many hits, every song was recognizable and awesome! It was a pleasure. He's the BEST! A GREAT live performance.
I was fortunate enough to attend his "In Squared Circle" tour in Calgary, October 17th 1986 not quite two months after your show. I couldn't agree more with your comments as it was an incredible show! One thing I will never forget when Master Blaster (Jammin) started playing I realized as we were were sitting in the center of the arena on the first level that directly behind us in the stands was a huge array of sub woofers. With the band in the round and the subs behind us it was an unforgettable, amazing experience!
I mentioned it sounded like the record because SOME live performances and live arrangements of the songs sound OFF. It was a fantastic experience at the time. Luther Vandross is a close second. I attended his concerts 4 times back in the day AND he was unbelievable. A GREAT live talent as well. It was a pleasure.
Stevie Wonder is the best musician of my lifetime. Prince is a close second. These men understood music in a way that is unrecognizable to most humans.
Princ ist leider viel zu für von uns gegangen er wurde bei uns in Deutschland viel zu viel unterschätzt ich bin glücklich diese Zeit mit erlebt zu haben die meine Jugend begleitet haben heute mit 64 kann sie durch das Internet wieder zurück holen 👍👍👏👏👏
So cool! ♥️♥️♥️I miss Prince! I love Stevie Wonder! My dad teaches me who is the best ever singers in the world. He owned his all albums. My dad is singer from Bulgaria Sofia Europe. This so far away from USA. I love this misic and all best singers of the world!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
what i find amazing is that as Soon as Stevie sits down around 2:52, he immediately finds the top chord that Prince was slapping. This whole thing is almost as unreal as it gets. one of teh most amazing songs written bu one of the most amazing artists, and then being joined by someone of equal stratospheric attainment
@@malikabenachour1366 you are absolutely right. But if you watch all those lists of the guitar heroes of the 80ies you read about Eddie van Halen, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani or Ingwie Malmsteen. Rarely about Prince.
@@NeulichimKanal True. I loved when Eric Clapton was asked :"How does it feel to be the greatest guitar player in the world?", he responded: "I don't know. Ask Prince." :-)
@@NeulichimKanal indeed but Prince was quite a distance muso-culturally from those guys and so too from the aficionados of 'those' guys, I think then they both just didn't look that hard and if they did they couldn't get their head around it ...'hey guys, forget Satriani I've found the worlds new best ever guitarist'.
One of the best if not thee best guitarist of the last 35 years such a natural talent. Still remember watching lovesexy 88 live as a teenager guitar skills just blew me away.
Interestingly enough, Prince forbade anyone from playing Stevie Wonder records around him while he was recording he debut album. He didn't want to be influenced by the magnitude and sheer force of his music. Which is understandable when you are trying to find your own voice.
Possibly the most innovative genius in soul and pop music at the time… I don’t blame him at all for avoiding Stevie, as difficult as that sounds. I hardly listen to new music anymore. I always get too compulsive with scribbling notes and opening browser tabs, burdening myself with responsibility to evangelize lovely vibes to others. The upside is that I have a little more space to develop and share _my own_ musical vibes… I hope.
This sounds like BS. Prince would be kidding himself to think that he could avoid Stevie's influence simply by forbidding his music during recording. Stevie's music has been in the airwave since the mid-60's, and Prince grew up with constantly on the radio. Once it's in your brain, you can't just get rid of it by not playing it around you.
I could listen to Stevie all day and even if I tried to copy him, it wouldn't sound anything like him. But I can see where it might be a worry for a master who can cop anybody's licks.
Thanks for the upload. One of the greatest and most genius moments in music history and apparently only this recording produced with a mobile phone available. Such a shame. Prince was one of the greatest. He knew when to subordinate himself though. That's what makes him one of the greatest musicians of all time for all eternity.
What a rare treat indeed, two legends performing together.....oh to have been there to witness such an event....genius in music is rare and right there we can see two of America's greatest
This my friends, was the PINNACLE of music. If you were at this concert, you've seen the equivalent of watching Eisenstein lecture on the theory of relativity or the 92 Dream Team winning a gold metal.
Conan O'Brien sent me here.
Yup
Me too
Same 😂

Absolutely!! No one does it better!! 💜💜💜
Gifted indeed. The man put in the work though.
Oh yes indeed. 100%
Prince as a backup for Stevie Wonder. Wow! Thank you so much. I can now die in peace. AMAZING.
You know you’re a badazz when Stevie gets up off his keyboard for you.

I don’t want to live in a world without Stevie Wonder.
I swear me too!!!! I dont want to live in a world without Stevie Wonder!
Me too ❤
I don't want to live in a world without shrooms. BUT I saw Stevie in 1988 at the valley forge music fair and no shrooms were necessary but night!
I don't either
Anyone who didn't accept his music growing up is definitely missing out
I love how Prince didn't try to play Stevie riff. Just vamped on something different and let the music come back when Stevie did. Pure class and music smarts.
Been a stevie fan since the 70's and a prince fan since the 80's...ty for this....RIP Prince
I loved how Prince just stood back and let Mr. Wonder do his thing...a true show of respect.
Me too. I noticed too.
Yes, very respectful and humble human being.
He stood by because he was always in awe of Stevie wonder

what i find amazing is that as Soon as Stevie sits down around 2:52, he immediately finds the top chord that Prince was slapping. This whole thing is almost as unreal as it gets. one of teh most amazing songs written bu one of the most amazing artists, and then being joined by someone of equal stratospheric attainment
Stevie s doing that with his left hand while standing sorry to disappoint
What I would have given to be there on that night.. Two of my musical genius’s performing together .. R.I.P. wonderful Prince, gone way too soon.. ❤❤
Somebody PLEASE bring funk back🎉 look at that crowd!
Prince was admired as a great musician but actually underrated as guitarplayer.
You think so? I think people wouldn't imagine him without his guitar.
@@malikabenachour1366 you are absolutely right. But if you watch all those lists of the guitar heroes of the 80ies you read about Eddie van Halen, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani or Ingwie Malmsteen. Rarely about Prince.
@@NeulichimKanal True. I loved when Eric Clapton was asked :"How does it feel to be the greatest guitar player in the world?", he responded: "I don't know. Ask Prince." :-)
@@NeulichimKanal indeed but Prince was quite a distance muso-culturally from those guys and so too from the aficionados of 'those' guys, I think then they both just didn't look that hard and if they did they couldn't get their head around it ...'hey guys, forget Satriani I've found the worlds new best ever guitarist'.
One of the best if not thee best guitarist of the last 35 years such a natural talent. Still remember watching lovesexy 88 live as a teenager guitar skills just blew me away.
Loved the sense of party chaos/joy while the band kept tight.
Stevie Wonder and Prince aka Roger Nelson play. Stevie classic hit. Superstitious wow. R.I.P Prince thank u 4 your work in the music industry. 🙏😢
So much talent on that stage. The gods are jealous.
I bet Prince had a “secret” Bucket List & this was on it! Much love & respect to “The Kid” GOAT (I hope he finished that list he earned it).
Interestingly enough, Prince forbade anyone from playing Stevie Wonder records around him while he was recording he debut album. He didn't want to be influenced by the magnitude and sheer force of his music. Which is understandable when you are trying to find your own voice.
Possibly the most innovative genius in soul and pop music at the time… I don’t blame him at all for avoiding Stevie, as difficult as that sounds.
I hardly listen to new music anymore. I always get too compulsive with scribbling notes and opening browser tabs, burdening myself with responsibility to evangelize lovely vibes to others. The upside is that I have a little more space to develop and share _my own_ musical vibes… I hope.
This sounds like BS. Prince would be kidding himself to think that he could avoid Stevie's influence simply by forbidding his music during recording. Stevie's music has been in the airwave since the mid-60's, and Prince grew up with constantly on the radio. Once it's in your brain, you can't just get rid of it by not playing it around you.
@@crnkmnky WE DO ALSO ✌🏿
Philip Bailey did the exact same thing in his early EWF days. Finding yourself in your art is a daring feat for timeless masterpieces.
I could listen to Stevie all day and even if I tried to copy him, it wouldn't sound anything like him. But I can see where it might be a worry for a master who can cop anybody's licks.
A dozen people desperately trying to be the center of attention...when you have Stevie and Prince on stage.....too bad !
Oh to have been in that audience at that time I'm huge Prince fan but Stevie Wonder is my all time favorite entertainer 💞💞
You captured my exact first/second/third thoughts!
Hello how are you doing ? My name is Richard
I sometimes find moments that make me cry on RUclips...
This is one of those moments
THEE 2 Gr8est musical forces of ALL TIME on stage 2GETHER!👏👏👏😁👍It don't get no better than this!
Still the coolest groove known to man or woman!!!!
Hi 😊, how are you
agree, doesn't get much better
Man...that Superstition groove was funky enough, but adding Prince's rhythmic guitar...so funky, it was DISGUSTING!! UGH!!! So good LOL
Thanks for the upload. One of the greatest and most genius moments in music history and apparently only this recording produced with a mobile phone available. Such a shame.
Prince was one of the greatest. He knew when to subordinate himself though. That's what makes him one of the greatest musicians of all time for all eternity.
Big up and blessing from Réunion island Indian ocean 🎉
It just can’t get any better than this!!!
Just came here to say .. I miss prince.
Oh I hear that ❤️
Oh yes, and I Love him and Stevie!
He is gone for more then 7 years and i feel it more then ever
What a rare treat indeed, two legends performing together.....oh to have been there to witness such an event....genius in music is rare and right there we can see two of America's greatest
Yeah, man. Sheila was on her game, too! So many gifts!!
@@bethelsdaclerk3077 Absolutely! She's a legend too!
This made me so happy I'm crying ❤
This was so nice !!!🎹🎷🎤❤💙💛💜
I'm smiling, crying and cheering at the same damn time watching this!!!💯🔥🔥
Me too my man, me too!
Cet air musical est le 1er que j ai ecoute de Stevie Wonder. Or je l écoute depuis 1976.
Love it and adore Stevie Wonder. HOW LUCKY are the girls to dance around him.
I dream of being close to Stevie
This my friends, was the PINNACLE of music. If you were at this concert, you've seen the equivalent of watching Eisenstein lecture on the theory of relativity or the 92 Dream Team winning a gold metal.
This people are not from this world ! So wonderful sound !
I'm very impressed
More talent than any one stage should have on it.
Criminal!
Pure facts.
Sax player couldn't take his eyes off Prince. You can tell he's a big fan. But didn't affect his sax playing. Rock On !
Two absolute GIANTS! The musical genius on that stage is off the charts.
STEVIE WONDER...MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SINGER IN THE WORLD! LOVE THAT MAN!❤🥰
Hello there, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
This is incredible ! I think that the the key word for genius and friendship is modesty and generosity
