My favorite part is Tom Petty shaking his head in awe of Prince's talent. I love the mutual appreciation of artists happening on this stage.
Nobody compares 2 Prince 💜💜💜
After the first solo: "...that deserves a rewind."
Me: Oh honey, you don't have a clue what's coming, do you? Let me get the Popcorn...
Prince's guitar (especially the one he's playing here, his favorite) was like an extension of his own body and soul.
Prince was the master of over 20 instruments
He was above anyone else
What an incredible tribute to George Harrison.
Great performance by legends... and then Prince says, "hold my beer."
What a fkn masterclass. Miss you Prince. 😔❤
The Purple #GOAT...Plain & Simple. ☔
There are 'mike drop' moments.
There are 'hold my beer' moments.
Then there are Prince moments.
Prince is on everyone's list of top legendary guitarists.
Genius playing genius music.
As Prince has said if you’re not making faces while playing the guitar then you are not playing the guitar right ! When you are making those faces you and the guitar are ONE ! 💜💜💜💜
Check Out Stevie Ray Vaughan some time !!
Mucho mejor SRV ...pero en esta ocasión se lucio Prince.,en respuesta a la revista de los Rolling Stones, pues en esa época lo excluyeron de la lista de los mejores
My brother has been a performer, teacher and student of rock guitar for 55 years and this is his favorite solo!
This was an incredible show full of great musicians, but when Prince appeared the show was his.WOW
PRINCE. CRUSHED IT
Your enjoyment of great music gives me goose bumps! Young lady, I'm 65 and you're enjoying the music I listen to and that puts a smile on my face.
Welcome aboard! Jeff Lynne is the gentleman with the beard and he's the genius behind the group E.L.O. (Electric Light Orchestra).
This is the performance that made me realise just what a great guitarist Prince is. Great reaction!
I had the good fortune to meet Prince, briefly, at a British tv studio where I was working, back in the day. Part of the deal was that the studio had to reserve an entire luxury hotel for him and his entourage, with elaborate catering requirements etc.. In the end, Prince and his people flew in by private jet, recorded one song as agreed and immediately flew back to the US three hours later. The hotel was not told and neither were we. Frankly, I was not impressed as he seemed so full of himself, but this concert in memory of George Harrison made me realise he was indeed a gifted musician. If I had known then, I might not have been so quick to judgement! 😀
Same here. Reinforced by his Purple Rain at the Super Bowl.
@@branscombeR that'was really a prejudgemeants based on assumptions not a judgment as judgments are made on practical information. I think there's a more valuable take away 🙂
it never gets old seeing people finally come to the realization of discovering how much of a beast he was on guitar...The folks in Minneapolis knew it from when he was a kid, his fans have known it for decades, 7 now the rest of the world knows it
Same here.
"Prince is probably the only person who I’ve seen who I would say is a true genius on the guitar.”--Eric Clapton
Prince is a fantastic musician. So underrated by mainstream music listeners. He was a genius!
I’ve been blessed to be able to follow Prince’s career from the very beginning (1978) until it tragically ended (2016). I have been inspired by him to learn to play music. He is the greatest and most prolific artist of our life time. I recommend his performance at the 2007 Super Bowl, his after show performance of Joy in Repetition, any of clips from his Piano & microphone tour, actually nothing!!! You will not be disappointed.
Nothing but facts!
How easy He reach what ever He want''s to go . Prince will never be forgotten
While his guitar gently weeps!
Three of my favorite musicians ever, Prince, Tom Petty, and George Harrison who they're honoring...all gone now and it's heartbreaking to know that the world no longer has their beauty and genius.
Very underrated guitar player.
Prince was insanely talented and this guitar solo is already the stuff of legend.
He's on everyone's greatest guitarists list. Not in the least bit underrated.
@@t0dd000 I feel like until recently, he was left out of the conversation a lot. It's like everyone always knew what a gifted multi-instrumentalist he was, and that guitar was definitely at the forefront, but (my guess) because he wasn't strictly a rock musician, he never got mentioned with the likes of Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, etc for a very long time, even though many legendary rock guitarists will go on and on about Prince, with very high praise. A lot of people just seemed to have missed the boat for a long time. But it's good to see them finally realizing that Prince could absolutely shred.
No, he's not underrated at all, in any way, at any time. He;s was widely recognized as a fantastic guitar player...by everyone, everywhere. lol
I never really took much notice of Prince until he played that amazing guitar solo, he was an incredible guitarist.
The musical world is worse off for missing three of the amazing musicians from the state that night…
RIP Prince
RIP George Harrison
RIP Tom Petty
He didn't wear that godfather hat for nothing he made that guitar weep foreal he knew they couldn't keep up with him that why he threw his guitar like this was all mine bravo prince bravo king continue to rest easy!!!!
I'm sure long time Prince fans knew he was a great guitarist but this performance opened the eyes of many classic rock fans that never considered Prince as one of the greatest. You can see the fun he was having and the ease at which he was making incredible music. One of the greatest lives performances of all time.
As a self proclaimed “Uber-Prince fan”, you’re correct that we knew. However, I remember watching it when it aired and I knew he was going to play in a collaborative performance and for the first 4 minutes you barely see him and it kinda drones on, and then boom, he just exploded. So yes, we knew his capabilities, but was still presently surprised by this performance. 😊😊
Certainly opened my eyes, I was one that didn't now how good he was on guitar before this.
Prince couldn't make the rehearsal, so Dhani (George's son on the acoustic alongside Tom Petty) just said he'd nod at him when it was his turn, and you see Dhani nod to that side of the stage and Prince step in to the centre stage. They had no idea what he was gonna do, and the big grin on Dhani's face is priceless. Thought by many to be Prince's greatest solo.
Thanks! I had a feeling that was the case. One time near the end Prince looked over to ‘check in’ and they were like saying, “Keep going! one more measure.”
Sorry ... but that solo is not even close to his greatest solo.
Check this clip: ruclips.net/video/E1yDVPY1E-w/видео.html
This was shortly after Rolling Stone left Prince off their top 50 greatest guitar players list. Think he had any extra motivation?
Mark, thank you so much for that great piece of information, it paints a lovely picture to go with a truly delightful performance.
Well, actually Prince DID make it to the rehearsal, BUT the other guitarist (the ELO band member) keep stilling Prince's solo, so the producer of the show say to Prince: "I'm gonna talk to him" Prince answer: "No, let him do his thing and I will close with my solo at the end, don't worry I got it" Prince left to his hotel room. After the event producer of the show say it was the greatest live performance in the history of RRHOF.
A stage full of music superstars and Prince takes over the song! Amazing performance.
Of course he stole the show…he is Prince! Great reaction!
"...He stands off to the side for 3 minutes and 20 seconds, lets the other guys do their thing, then comes in and owns everything. This is the musical equivalent of dunking on someone. The best part is that, while at first perturbed, you can tell by the end that Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne aren't even upset about being upstaged. The story goes that Prince was late, and they didn't even want him to perform, but at the last second they relented. They all look ticked at him when he starts playing, but the best part of the video isn't just the solo, which good lord, but the fact that they can't stay mad at him. Prince is too irresistible. When he leans back, and the bodyguard catches him, you see Petty just break. He can t stay mad at him. Prince then stands up, still wailing, and looks at Petty like 'I got you, huh?' And Petty can t even fight it. He starts laughing. How could you stay mad at Prince?"
Your reaction…. PRICELESS!
but not Princeless!
I enjoyed your reaction. It does seem that the guitar is part of Prince. He definitely made his weep...and cry for mercy.
Love your reaction.....also....YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GREAT that man in the RED hat was!!!!! Half assed it through rehearsals, stood to the side, and when it was showtime........
It’s too bad they didn’t list all the musicians playing, it’s a truly amazing line up of people with amazing, long careers. Tom Petty (he’s on acoustic and sings first) and from his band the Heartbreakers’ Scott Thurston (playing bass here) and drummer Steve Ferrone. From ELO Jeff Lynne (singing and electric guitar) and Marc Mann, the lead guitarist for Lynne’s band), Steve Winwood (Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic on organ), Jim Capaldi (from Traffic, with Winwood, back in the day) on percussion (tambourine), Billy Preston on piano (Billy toured with the Beatles and had hits on his own, Jim Dhani Harrison (George’s son) ... who looks just like his dad. George, along with Jeff, Tom, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison formed a group named The Traveling Wilbury’s. And of course Prince, who was also an inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that night.
Thanks for all these details ... keep forgetting the young reactors know nothing about music in the last century!
Verdy all these musicians are worthy of your getting to know better.
That is not Billy Preston on piano, it is Jeff Young.
They did list all the performers when first shown on HBO, at least the main ones -- And they listed & mentioned the backing musicians in reviews of & stories about the performances as well.....But yes it was a fantastic line-up & an amazing performance
Winwood! Hell yeah thanks for the info
You want more Prince guitar work while he’s outside while it’s raining then react to Prince - Super Bowl XLI 🏈 | Halftime Show 2007 FULL SHOW HD
This person is absolutely correct here is the link to the best Super Bowl halftime ruclips.net/video/-WYYlRArn3g/видео.html
The greatest halftime show ever
Yeah react to this!
Jeff Lynne is one of the greatest. Jeff, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan released two albums as The Travelling Wilburys.
not to forget the late great Roy Orbison.
@@dennismorley4845 And Dion on the second album (also dead by the way)
Jeff Lynne: say Jeff Lin (a short i sound, not "line")
Actually, per Dhani, Prince WAS at the rehearsals, but played it extremely low key, just strumming the chord changes. Prince was also inducted that night.
It seems that many have forgotten the reason behind this performance. It was a tribute to the talented George Harrison. Yes, the performance was outstanding...as was the one it was a tribute to.
Tom Petty lead singer of the Heartbreakers, Jeff Lynne lead sing of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) Steve Winwood got his start as the keyboard and lead singer Spencer Davis Group and a group called Traffic as well.
“…and a group called Traffic!” 😊
The guy on the left whose voice you said you liked is Jeff Lynne. He is the singer/songwriter and leader of ELO. You should check out some of their syuff.
The first vocalist, blond, with long hair is Tom Petty, from Tom Petty and The Heartberakers; who sings afterwards, in a cap and dark glasses, is Jeff Lynne, from ELO; the pianist who appears at the beginning is Billy Preston, who was called "The 5th Beatle" for his important collaboration with the Fab Four, at the end of the race; who plays keyboards, Hammond, is the great Steve Winwood, from Blind Faith, Traffic and other bands, as well as a soloist; the one who plays the first guitar solo is Marc Mann, from the Jeff Lynne ELO's and the young guy, seen behind Tom Petty, is Dhanny Harrison son of the great Beatle, George; This video is a tribute to George Harrison
Saw Prince in concert twice..........What a blessing. :)
It's of course a classic song by the Beatles played during the Concert for George (Harrison). Normally I'm not a huge fan of Prince, but here he's definitively killed it!
Yeah, we get true all-stars playing 90% of the song immaculately, and the Prince swoops in and everyone else is forgotten. Truly gifted musician. Great reaction.
Certainly not forgotten. Maybe by you but I was fully away the others were there throughout!
....and it never came back down. Prince could play everything... guitar, bass, drums, keyboards/piano..
Others have mentioned that the young dark-haired fellow playing guitar is George Harrison's son, Dhani. It's scary how much he looks like his dad. Check out some early Beatles photos, to see the resemblance, not only facial features, but also expressions and body movement.
I honestly love your reaction to this video. How you stopped and replayed his finger technique, I too was in amazement when seeing that for the very first time, goosebumps... Tom Petty, Prince, musical icons gone too soon. May they Rest in Eternal Peace.
Your reactions are so honest and I love seeing how much you enjoy these amazing songs, and your winsome smiles.
winsome: Attractive or appealing in appearance or character.
One of my favourite performances by some great musicians. George would have been very proud to have his son included along with those guys.
As you love guitar players, now try some Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, who led the way and were voted best players of the year for a long time in the 60s and 70s.
Adore your true personal reactions ❤️
R.I.P Tom!
La mejor reacción. The Best reaction.
Now that’s a reaction. You could tell that it was authentic. You gave Mann his props too he did a great job and played so much in the spirit of the original solo yet also added a hunting element. He deserves props too. Prince - well Prince is just special. A genius and I’m so happy that people are starting to get it. You did an outstanding job.
I loved watching your reactions to the different parts of Prince's solo 🎸🎸🎸
My favorite prince story is. Eric Clapton was being interviewed and one of the questions was how does it feel to be the best guitarists alive( or something to that point) and he said idk you'll have to ask Prince. This is back in the early 80s.
originally a Beatles song written by George Harrison with a contribution on guitar by Eric Clapton
I LOVED your reaction
Best guitar solo ever captured on film. So iconic.
One of the best guitar players, who rarely gets mentioned, was Glenn Campbell. He was a session player in Los Angeles before getting a TV show and a solo career. He played the William Tell Overture on a 12 string with a orchestra (Boston Pops?). At times, over his head.
Performance inducting George Harrison (Beatle) as a solo artist into The R&R Hall of Fame. Dhani Harrison (son) is on acoustic guitar just to the right & behind Tom Petty. Check out the Dhani smile when Prince kills it.
a leopard style guitar madcat telecaster should have the love symbol on it and should be always and 4ever be with it to honour that man
Prince was playing well outside his genre. The chords structures and progressions are unlike his own music. It blew my mind to see him just sit in and solo on a song that is inherent British
Nah. This is outside his genre.
He grew up wrshipping Jimi Hendrix and got into music to be like him. So he's not a stranger to rock guitar at all.
Wendy and Lisa introduced Prince to The Beatles when they were recording the Around the world in a day album. What would that be... Like 1984? Prince studied music.
@@MaffeyZilog Prince hated being compared to Hendrix and thought people only did it because they were both black, and he said his playing is "closer to Santana if you really listen". He downplayed any influence though and he only really showed tons of love for Stevie and Joni, but you can also clearly see that Santana and Sly Stone are favorites.
@@TBoogy3 Prince often contradicted himself!
He said he didn't like being compared to Hendrix in a Rolling Stone interview but he was known for disliking Rolling Stone and was pissed off that they didn't include him in their list of top 100 guitarists.
You can't say that he was lying to RS but you would be forgiven for saying you could take what he said to them with a pinch of salt. Especially given how many times he actively copied Hendrix and quoted Hedrix etc
This is a Spectacular Performance from Some ICONS 💯💯💯
If you like watching PRINCEY play guitar check out - Motherless Child live, Guitar on Leno, Creep and Endorphinmachine live.
I made this comment on many other channels but Prince had something to prove he was left off of a top 100 or 500 best guitarists according to Rolling Stone Magazine and this was his answer.
And it was the correct answer.
The original performance of this song was on the Beatles "white album" as a track written by George Harrison; but George was not confident enough, in his own abillity; to play a suitable guitar part, so he asked his friend, Eric Clapton, to join the recording sesion - it is his part that features on the album recording - his 'part' also featured in other aspects of George's life - but hey; ROCK AND ROLL"
every one of them is Legend
This is a Prince solo on auto-pilot, late career. For a real legendary Prince solo try Just My Imagination 1988 Paard van Troje - with Sheila E on drums.
Try Prince Motherless Child, you wil not be disappointed
That Stratocaster was his old, and favorite guitar. His bodyguard caught it.
He didn't practice before the event, he just asked that they left a spot for a solo at the end. Then destroyed the stage like the boss he is!
Check out Prince live - 'Play that Funky Music' - 13 minute version.
Great reaction young lady. A beautiful reaction to a beautiful session with Prince showing just how talented he is.
For Prince ultimate guitar check out Purple Rain 1985 Syracuse.
Love it
The first guitar player did fine should've got a name credit on track,also that's Dhani Harrison on acoustic George's son,Prince is bowing at! Epic performance! Second comment was for darkside of moon ignore!
"Goddamn" yep.... that's the reaction!
Unbelievable virtuoso to come.
The guy you like at 4:52 is Jeff Lynne, lead singer for the Electric Light Orchestra. They have some wonderful music. Try "Don't Bring Me Down, ruclips.net/video/z9nkzaOPP6g/видео.html or living thing" -- ruclips.net/video/lvBOZCrJsAI/видео.html
Prince blew them all away they didn't know he could do that
Supertramp,,, bloody well right
A 70s classic
The meme of this video is that at the end when Prince threw his guitar up in the air, God caught it.
Love me some prince
I really enjoy your reaction to the guitars solos, it reminds me how I also reacted to when I got into heavy metal and Pink Floyd back in the seventies, electric guitars it's where's at!
R.I.P Prince!
And RIP Tom Patty too
I think Prince lay back facing the stage to play for George Harrison's son, who is just to the right of lead singer Tom Petty. This is a tribute to George (who also wrote this song and sang it for the Beatles).
Just watching this video, Love watching how happy you are watching a master at work. Of course he is one of the greatest of all time. If you Love him you will love Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Eddie Van Halen Stevie Ray Von, Billy Gibbons, One that gets forgotton a lot Brian May of Queen and Probably one of the best that died young Terry Kath of Chicago. You have to go back to early Chicago stuff.
Well, Dhani Harrison is the SON of a famous guitar player: George Harrison of the Beatles and solo act and also the Travelling Willburys. Prince, my fav, does the guitar solo crescendo as was agreed upon prior, though he did hold back a bit during rehearsals given that they had had some sound production issues - it helped sell the wow factor during the real thing. Steve Winwood is a famous keyboardist/piano player - everyone should check out "Roll With It" by him. And Tom Petty, yes, is a famous singer but is not bad on guitar. Jeff Lynne is also another famous singer and instrumentalist from Electric Light Orchestra which is a really great band with quite a few hits. Marc Mann on 1st lead guitar and Jim Capaldi on drums/percussion round out the rest of the performers paying homage to George Harrison's posthumous induction.
Glad your trademark smile was alive and well in this one. The original by the Beatles featuring Clapton is one of my favorite songs ever, and most covers of it do it justice. It's amazing how they make the guitars cry.
An interviewer once asked Eric Clapton how it felt to be the best guitar player in the world,...he said why are you asking me,...go ask Prince.
He said something similar about Hendrix ...
Verdy thank you so much for your enchanting reaction to what is a beautiful if poignant tribute to a lovely man, including Prince’s really quite naughty but absolutely breathtaking outro.
Jeff Lynne, lead singer of ELO, check them out, he was the voice you liked, the one in the hat
He tossed the guitar, and didn't even lose his hat
Obviously a great solo by Prince but god damn, people sleep on Jeff Lynne so much; one of the best voices in Rock ever.
Voice of an electronic sexy angel
Yes and ,yes/////////////////////////////////
the entire performance is epic -- nobody is getting slept on
This was a tribute to George Harrison. This was his song with The Beatles.
This is the second album Darkside and this song is playing 1/2 step Slower then the the track Computer Glitch!
Listen to Prince „Motherless child“ and „Play that funky music“ You‘ll enjoy!
