Here in the Twin Cities, the day after Prince died, many of the local movie theaters halted their programming and showed the film 'Purple Rain' instead. That's how much Prince meant to us. 😭💔
That's pretty incredible thank you for sharing, Jeremy 🤘🏻
Yea, here in Ca we all saw that and we were impressed to say the least.
Nice. Glad your enjoying PRINCE. HE is one of a kind. If you want a melt your face performance and a little harder guitar performance of PRINCE watch Bambi Nude Tour 90. It won't dissapoint. hehe Motherless Child is another GREAT performance. Enjoy!
Great suggestions Rabid, I'll have to add them to the list, glad you enjoyed, cheers for watching
@@ExploringTheSmoke I forgot to mention both are live performances so you can watch PRINCE do his thang.
@@RabidParakeetSweat2 haha thank you
You might enjoy prince's cover of "motherless child" or his cover of "creep". They're worth checking out.
Thank you Orlando, they will be added to the list, I got so so so much to look forward to! Glad you enjoyed
Prince always remained a humble down to earth person. He could have lived anywhere, but he chose to stay in his hometown of Minneapolis Minnesota where he opened up Paisley Park Studios. He wrote so many songs for other very well known performers. His sound was coined the Minneapolis sound, and you can hear it in so much of the music of his that others recorded.
I've seen him in a few interviews and the guy just OOZED cool, he was never above anyone but never let anyone think they were above him. That's how everyone should be
This particular Live performance is one of the best 🫶🏼
Hopefully many more to come
Yes! Please do the entire live performance of this concert. It is by far the best live you could ever! Watch of him and the revolution.
It took place in 1985.
I watched the very night it aired.
When he did this version of Purple Rain, I cried my eyes out.
So please treat yourself and us to one of the best live concerts of all time.😊
Oooh I was going to do the 1983 live concert on fifth avenue when he first performed songs from purple rain, although this one I feel will also need to to get a full viewing 😂 thank you for watching I'm glad you enjoyed
Prince was a magatalent!! Across the board. Vocals, arrangement, and any instrument he played.
Everything I've heard by him....I definitely have to agree!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Glad you enjoyed Rob, thanks for watching
My favorite song of his is Kiss. Still mourning this genius to this day.
Now that I'm getting into him more it's so frustrating and heartbreaking that I didn't pay attention sooner
@@ExploringTheSmoke Like you said, though...it's probably better that you waited until you could fully appreciate him. Thankfully his legacy allows all of us to do that.
@@joymcvey8331 oh deffffffffinitely
I’ve saw Prince over 250x’s live. It all started with 5 straight Purple Rain shows in SF! Every show after that was different in its own way! If u got goosebumps just watchin a vid imagine in person! So I’d recommend Bambi, Creep cover Coachella and of course Rock n Roll Hall of Fame my guitar gently weeps. You’re just scratching the surface my friend keep goin down the rabbit hole and enjoy!
While my guitar gently weeps and Bambi have been blocked worldwide on RUclips for me already and it sucks! Thank you answering and incredible that you got to see him so many times!
His Real Genius is seeing him live in concert. I was lucky enough to see him 10 times. Seeing him in concert was almost an otherworldly spiritual experience. I'm saddened that there will not be any more concerts and that people won't be able to experience what it was like to see him live. He usually under his concerts with purple rain, so imagine seeing what you just saw live is what he basically left you with to go home with.
Brandon, welcome and thank you for commenting, you certainly are lucky son of a gun to have seen him 10 times, and if they were at all anything like this performance....I could see it almost being as if you transcended and you got to experience it TEN times!! That's awesome, thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed
@ExploringTheSmoke thanks for the welcome, but Brando was my cat, hence the meow part of my name. My name is Lori & it's a pleasure to meet you. 😊
@@brandothecatmeow Lori, even better, pleasure to make your acquaintance, glad you're here and happy you enjoyed 💪🏻
You are blessed!
@@ednajoseph8601 thank you Edna
Watch the movie “Purple Rain” and you will understand the genius. He was 24 when he started the movie. A great song to react to is “The question of U” live 2004. The guitar playing is great.
Margaret! thank you for the comment, Purple rain was something I was thinking of doing as a movie reaction....maybe I will, I've always wanted to see the waters of Lake Minnetonka anyway 🤭
Prince wrote so many songs for other artists that you would be amazed.
I can only imagine!! The man had more talent in one hand than probably all the pop/rock artist's these days
Watching you experience Prince with so much joy really made me happy and brought me back to all those times I first heard one of his songs. I gave you lots of recommendations in comments for your Let’s Go Crazy reaction so I’ll just say that he did have a costume change before coming out to perform this song. He also loved listening to Wendy play those intro chords on guitar and often just left her out there playing the intro over and over because he loved it so much. If you watch the First Avenue version, she’s looking around wondering when he was going to come out. Interestingly, that was her first live performance with him and the first time they played Purple Rain (as others have mentioned that’s the performance that was used for the album). I love watching musicians react to Prince because you notice so much that others might not. I loved that you mentioned how clean his tone is and how hard it would be to play as you’re running up and down stairs in the dark. Also, one of the things I love most about Prince is that he is without a genre. So, when you mentioned punk, I immediately thought that you need to listen to some of his earlier music - especially from the Dirty Mind or Controversy albums. At that time, he was incorporating a lot of nu wave and punk into funk and R&B. The result is magical. Please keep going down the Prince rabbit hole. I am truly loving your enthusiasm as you experience all of it 💜💜💜
JJ, Thank you for the incredible comment, I am VERY excited to delve into the live show video, as for Wendy playing....it is somewhat hypnotic so I can totally understand why he'd let her just play.
His tone throughout the whole song was PERFECT, a lot of people have no idea how hard the right tone is and boyyyy he sure had it, thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed
Talking about Prince’s guitar skills. There is a tribute to George Harrison after his death where many famous artists gathered together to play “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Prince stole the show! I highly recommend a reaction/watch. It’s very popular.
Thank you Beth! I'm glad you enjoyed, while my guitar gently weeps is definitely on the list haha
Yes please!!
@@SleepingTiger-vlog you knowww ittttt
You're not just reacting, you are VIBING. I really enjoyed watching this reaction and hearing your Joy. You get it! Prince's songs are more than music. They are experiences. And I think this 1985 live performance in Syracuse is the best version floating out there, including the album's studio version. It's just phenomenal.
You might want to add his "Motherless Child" live performance to your watchlist, if it hasn't been recommended by other commenters just yet. 💜
Lee!! Welcome and thank you for the incredible comment, Motherless Child will definitely be coming as it's definitely a fan favourite haha, I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction
my favorite is "sign o' the times". makes you think hard under a relentless beat.
Crazy how good he is already, in two songs that I've heard, and judging from the amount of different recommendations.... he's VERY good at moving people emotionally and physically
Your enthusiasm just brought me to tears. Enjoy your PRINCE journey. Welcome. 💜
Thank you Micah! Glad you enjoyed
Little Red Corvette live at Montreux by Prince is definitely one you should watch
I'm having incredibly bad luck with prince reactions, I tried to upload while my guitar gently weeps yesterday 6 times and it was blocked every time, along with another it's a little souls destroying haha
Please do the 1985 live concert in Syracuse New York. That's the ultimate Purple Rain tour.
That entire concert is 🔥.
Added to the list! Thank you G
Just. Pure. Magic. 💜💜
That's Prince!
I can Truly respect what you said about waiting years to have just now heard and experience certain types of music for the first time as a mature adult.
Especially now with a very eclectic musical taste from being a bassist, Prince, from the two songs I've heard already, it's very obvious he's never boxed himself in and made WHATEVER style of music he wanted.....and it worked! Thank you James for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed 💪🏻
Love the idea of doing the first time he ever played the music from Purple Rain live. You will love it. I will be sure to watch it a dozen times if you do 😂 😂 Love the reaction to this one
Rich 😂 thank you for the incredible comment! I think it definitely will be coming....and I'll also have to watch it a few times I'm sure haha I'm glad you enjoyed
Thanks for checking Prince out 💜
He's absolutely incredible 🤘🏻
Prince is one of those rare artists where most of the live stuff is even better than the album version, so I'd definitely keep watching the live stuff. Although there are a few songs I'd suggest listening to the album version of that I consider can't miss songs - The Beautiful Ones and Computer Blue (both from the Purple Rain soundtrack) as well as Adore from Sign O' The Times (My all-time favourite Prince song). For live stuff there's just so many amazing choices. Some of my favourites are:
Play that Funky Music - ruclips.net/video/LNrAFb3I2js/видео.html
The Question of U - ruclips.net/video/8vyOIMyY14M/видео.html
Just My Imagination - ruclips.net/video/RPCbe_rFwc8/видео.html (No video but the best guitar solo in music history imo)
Of course the Superbowl and Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame performances belong on the list and will no doubt be endlessly suggested. Sadly the Montreux shows were all removed from RUclips not long ago, but those were some of his best performances so if you can find them somewhere I'd definitely recommend watching them, even if it's just in your free time.
APRIL!!! Thank you for the incredible comment and suggestions, I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction, thank you for watching
Wow!! I've never seen that performance before. I love the fancy man!
What an absolute powerhouse he was
I would LOVE for you to do The Purple Rain concert. You'll be mesmerized. Great reaction !
Thank you Scott! I'm glad you enjoyed, and yeah I'd like to get a video done for it, I may live stream the watch through and anyone who missed it I'll upload it to here anyways, glad you're enjoying
It's a great concert to watch, but make sure it's the whole concert. One of the top results has most of Purple Rain itself cut out for some reason. The show you're referring to is actually the show that the last 3 songs on the Purple Rain soundtrack were recorded LIVE at. That's right, a lot of people don't know that the song Purple Rain was actually recorded live at First Avenue and not in a studio. A testament to Prince's ability to sound better live than most musicians do in a studio.@@ExploringTheSmoke
@@apriluofa oh wow! The first avenue 1 hour show in 1983 was the one I was going to do, I NEEEEEEED to 😂
Sinead O’Conner & Chris Cornell both sang “Nothing Compares.” Prince wrote the song. It’s also worth a listen. I love watching your energy and enthusiasm over music outside of your favorite genre. There’s so much out there. You will definitely appreciate having an open mind to music.
I have a VASTLY eclectic taste in music (my favourite genre is disco or soul 😂) but I really do love how much musicality this one incredible man had
Thank you so much for this video
Thank YOU Anthony for watching this video
I love that you were a metal head, because you will appreciate his guitar skillz
He's incredibly talented in all instruments too!
Y'know I went into this video not knowing you were doing the live reaction instead of the video reaction. And I became a lil worried that you didn't get the foundation, so you might not " get " the song. So glad I was wrong, great reaction, loved it. I can't say anything else about this song that hasn't already been said except it's my favorite song of all time, and thanks for sharing the experience again. God bless
Thank you ken for watching and enjoying, I'm glad you liked the choice, I feel like with some artists, it's not worth the live videos because you just know it won't carry over, from the amount of comments on the let's go crazy video about how good Prince was live, I just KNEW I had to hear it
Prince was punk in a way. He completely did the opposite of what his label wanted him to. 1980’s Dirty Mind was almost banned and it divided people. He persevered and created his own image and sound. He fought to own his name and masters. He is also the reason parental advisory explicit content stickers wound up on album covers.
The man definitely knew how to put the sex in his songs without being vulgar, and the sound he created is still unmatched to this day! Glad you enjoyed the reaction, thank you Anthony
It's perfectly fine to lament being young and rejecting everything mainstream with music. The fact that as you have grown to now realize that within the mainstream there are those legends who are TRULY among the greatest of ALL time🙌🏿
An maaaan am I weirdly glad that I was somewhat ignorant, the appreciation I have for it now it insane!! Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed
"Bambi" live from Tokyo Dome is hard rockish, but my favorite guitar solo has to be "Empty Room" live from Montreux Jazz Festival.
Both added to the list, glad you're enjoying 💪🏻
Prince has left the stage to change outfits, take a piss/shit, as Wendy, Lisa, BOBBY Z, DR. Fink. & Sheila E take the stage. This is the longest version of "Purple Rain" Prince has ever played LIVE!!! Enjoy IT!!!!!
THR SHORTEST??? What an absolute master of his craft and crowd control! Thank you SGT. glad you enjoyed 💪🏻
It’s not the shortest live performance. That person is full of it.
@@tracynorman1455 haha, I was gonna say did he not play it at the superbowl half time....that's only like 20 minutes 😂
He is rearranging the song as he played. The band knew their parts to perfection but Prince always played in the moment and never played live without some altercations to the originals. Every live show was unique. He was music and playing to an audience was his ‘heaven’.
@@user-mx5it7jx2t he put so SO much feel and care into his playing and I've very quickly come to appreciate it 🤘🏻 thank you Margaret
It still blows my mind some people have never heard his music
I was young and naive 😂
Great reaction! Prince is the best. I'd check out his earlier work next. Try 1999 from his 1982 album 1999 or Controversy from his 1981 album Controversy. Check out the official videos so you can see him performing. I also just noticed you're a Chicago Bears fan!!!! What????!! I'm from Chicago and a hard-core Bears fan. What are your thoughts on the QB situation??:)
I am indeed a Bears fan haha, I'm gonna kg to be honest, I want to keep Justin. Caleb MAY BE a generational talent but he hasn't taken a single snap in the NFL, Justin has had so AWFUL players and coaches around him and has still oddly broken records, granted most are for rushing but when the only receiver he has is getting triple man covered....he had to do something, I'd love to see him have an arsenal of players around him and really give him a chance! Thank you for the comment and the question Cheri, glad you enjoyed
I'm a Justin fan too. I really hope they build around him but if we draft Caleb he'll have my full support
@@cheriwinn3852 oh don't gete wrong if 13 is our new QB he'll have my full support as a fan of the team.....but Justin is still my choice 😂
@@ExploringTheSmoke I agree. We're both ready for them to kick some ass next year. BEAR DOWN 🐻
@@cheriwinn3852 yes we are!!!!
Play that funky music by prince might be the thing for you as a bass player.
The original SLAPS so I can only imagine Prince's flavour on it! Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching Martin!
Do yourself a favor and watch the movie Purple Rain. On another note react to as My Guitar Gently Weeps a song he did live with Tom Petty and some others it does not disappoint you will love his solo
While my guitar gently weeps will DEFINITELY be coming 🤘🏻🤘🏻 thank you for watching an commenting! Glad you enjoyed
What a major shame that this generation knows not a dang thing about Prince what you have missed out on wow... And yes back in the day I did see that beautiful man live. I have loved him since I was 14/15 years old back in 78/79 and I will never stop loving him either. Um got a question... iis it only those who pay that can give requests or what? I'll give you a few either way... Listen to the song he did back in the 90s called The Ride... use the video with him wearing black and white.... Then there's the stuff he did at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2013. He did 3 days there the 3rd day is the rock and roll day. There are 3 of the songs he did in that set that I especially love, Shes Always In My Hair, The Love We Make and The Break Down.... he gets very emotional with the last 2. You might have to dig for the Montreux videos, you might have to watch the whole concert cause they seem to have taken them down. If you just want to watch it elsewhere its on other sites other then on u tube there you'll find it. Then there's the unbelievable guitar playing he did with both on stage, when they honored George Harrison at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame back in 2004, and on stage with the song Question Of You (he was wearing a light colored shirt) its 11 minutes long that one. And if you really want to flip watch him sing and play in the rain at the Super bowl half time in 2007. Any and ALL of Princes stuff you will never be sorry you watched he was phenomenal at everything he ever laid his hands on and nobody but nobody did it better. Peace.
Thank you for the incredible comment Tomm, the hall of fame video is up on my channel, some of his stuff I've reacted too and then it was blocked by RUclips which is soul destroying but I'm glad I got to hear the songs anyway, glad you're here and the ride will certainly be watched and reacted too...I can only hope I can get it past the RUclips censors 😂
check out this other live version of purple rain in 1999
ruclips.net/video/ryT-ltTDCko/видео.htmlsi=jH0WpFuiO7rzAK-w
Thank you Roger! Glad you enjoyed
Check out Bambi and Gold if you want guitar.
@@tonydeltablues added to the list as soon as I can get WiFi in the new place.....and if prince allows me to actually use the content 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanx man. Good reaction. If u want to see one more of the best versions from this song watch this:
ruclips.net/video/WMo6O_fGaFY/видео.htmlsi=5p026bwdzKcvOaI_
This was 25 years later and he felt it like never before! His guitar solo is so powerful and emotional. Watch it man👍🏾
@@davidt.mustbe5345 that was INCREDIBLE thank you David!
Hey, what happened to your Let's Go Crazy reaction ?? Looks like it's Gone. Weird. Anyways Purple Rain is a classic, but not one of my faves from him. Looking forward to when you do more. (So many good ones, but I'd suggest, the extremely long-titled: "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man" )
RUclips/Warner music blocked it 😭😭 there is more coming though
Try his version of let's go crazy with his band 3rd eye girl. He plays it in a more hard rock style, also might be less likely to get blocked ...e@@ExploringTheSmoke
@@ericksolera5402 I'll give it a look thank you Erick
I know I already recommended a bunch of stuff on your last video, so I won’t say too much. But I did want to say that I think you’d also really like the song Family Name.
Comment as often as you wish 😂 family name will DEFINITELY be coming too, glad you're still enjoying
@@ExploringTheSmoke In terms of walking around the stage while playing, you should check out the performance of Thieves in the Temple from Earl’s Court. He runs around the stage with chains in front of his face playing an acoustic guitar solo. I’ve always been astounded by just the fact that he doesn’t fall on his face. 😂😂😂
@@smh93 from playing on stage a few times myself when a stage gets even slightly darker....it becomes a different world in playing, the fact his stage is so dark and he's walking up and down stairs while soloing is INCREDIBLE! I'm very very excited to go down the prince rabbit hole
I just tried looking up that performance to see if you’d be able to find it, and there isn’t a version on youtube with that full clip by itself (just the full concert). But there’s a video on my channel in the Prince Covering Prince playlist for Thieves in the Temple that includes the acoustic demo version of the song, the extended music video for the studio version, that Earl’s Court performance, and audio of a performance of the song from Prince’s final Piano & A Microphone tour. I think that’s the one video where I haven’t been able to pick a favorite among them. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
@@smh93 I'll add it to the list 💪🏻 thank you, I look forward to it
Are you in a staff locker room
Not even close 😂😂
