    Dude played 27 instruments, played all the instruments on his first 5 albums--in addition to the crazy vocals and his dancing--he was a truly unique talent. Today's performers are not qualified to shine his boots...do youself a favor and check out the live performance from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of George Harrison. He is on the stage with legends of rock and in the end shows him who the true boss is...

    • @oskarobit
      @oskarobit Месяц назад +4

      Please, stop saying that about the 27 instruments... He played 27 different instruments on his first album, 27 pieces: different electric and acoustic guitars, basses, drums, piano, several keyboards, drum machines, congas, tambourine, bongos... No tenor saxophone, violin, harp, trumpets, clarinet, oboe, harpsichord... You know what I mean?
      His innate talent is out of the question. He mastered guitar, bass, piano and drums, but not only that: he breathed music, so he could do a solo just by thinking the notes in his head or compose a song while eating a vegan sandwich and after brushing his teeth he could record every instrument, all the vocals, mix it and produce it.
      There are good and very good guitarists better than Prince (no doubt!), but only a few can say the same with a second instrument, composing, writing lyrics, or as showmen. He moved effortlessly through such a variety of styles. No one living or dead can match his enormous and diverse talent.
      Moreover, he was always ahead of his time musically and in other related aspects: things like giving away a record with a newspaper, predicting the chaos of music on the internet or fighting for the masters and intellectual property of his works.
      PS: He was responsible for the sticker with the famous words "Parental Advisory, explicit lyrics".
      I have been a Prince fan for at least 4 decades and have attended 3 concerts, own about 120 CDs (many live bootlegs), 30 vinyl albums, 2 dozen VHS and almost as many DVDs and Blu-rays. I've also watched 90% of every piece on RUclips, from music to interviews, artists talking about him and his former band members telling their stories with him. I think I know a little bit about Prince.

      ​​​@@oskarobitHe did not master the piano. This is an INSANE statement. The same goes for the drums. He was FAR from mastering it. On the guitar, though, he was something else.

    • @oskarobit
      @oskarobit 26 дней назад +1

      ​@@IvoMaropo maybe "master" means different things in my language and I did a bad translation. I meant he was very good, very very good at both . And you can find drummers a keyboardist saying what I said.
      For some reason he was respected by pianists like Elton John and Herbie Hancock. We can't not ask now to Miles Davis why he said Prince could play as good as his band members.
      I've watched him dwelling Michael B, drummer Versus drummer and it was amazing. Are you a musician with bigger background than the mentioned? Let me doubt it.
      BTW, please don't think I'm a consumer of mainstream shit, half the music I listen to, every day, is jazz.

      @@oskarobit I’m not getting what you mean-I said he played 27 instruments, you said he played 27 different instruments-and I never said anything about sax or violin, just repeating what I read about his first 5 albums. I have zero doubt you know more about him than I-I was simply a fan who never got to see him play live, one of my greatest regrets. To see him play would have been incredible-he is on my list along with Stevie Ray Vaughan of people I wished I’d seen live.

      Let me put in other words. One piano and one violin are two instruments. A Gibson Epiphone and a Mad Cat (two guitars) are two instruments. Ok now?
      This is what Prince used and play in "For You", the usual rock instruments like guitars, keyboards, drums, basses... Different models of each kind to make a total of 27:
      EQUIPMENT
      · Vocals - Neumann U67

      Saw Prince live Bd he was exceptionally good. He ran around the stage on those heels and jumped up on the piano from a standing position. He was renowned for playing multiple instruments, producing, arranging and performing on his music and was a true musical genius. Have a listen to some of his albums - you will be astounded.💜 please.s. the stage costumes were a nod to the French Revolution and his royal name.

    Prince:
    • Wrote all of his music and music for other artists.
    • Was a self-taught, multi-instrumental virtuoso
    • Was a multi-octave vocalist
    • Played every instrument, mixed all the tracks, recorded the master and produced his debut album solely.
    • Arranged and re-arranged other tracks for artists that were not his original music.
    • The list goes on…

    I live right down the street from Paisley Park. I've never seen such profound sadness when he died. The streets for blocks, including the highway were closed for days and no one complained. I walked over there everyday stayed for hours talking with folks from all over the world. Ssooooo much incredible fan art and tribute pieces. The estate kept it all, well most of it, and its on display in Paisley Park. I had the privilege of seeing him perform multiple times as well as seeing him in person casually, a few times. Super nice person. And when I tell you his smile would light up the room, Lord!!

    I saw Prince in Las Cruces New Mexico 7 March 1985. My buddy had a new girlfriend who couldn't go to the concert unless her sister could go too. The sister refused to go unless she had a "date". I got roped into going to show I didn't really want to see because in 85, 19 year old me was all about hair metal and head banging.
    But I went, just to be a good wingman for my friend.
    Prince completely changed my relationship with music. He was incredible. His absolute skill as a guitarist, his stage presence and the way he connected with the audience--all of it, was transcendent.
    Rest in peace, Prince, and thank you for expanding my young soul.

    When Prince performed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame show honoring George Harrison, playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps, he didn’t even show up for rehearsals. He told all the others don’t worry, just play and I’ll be there. He then delivered a BLISTERING 2 minute solo that will live in infamy- and that was right after Rolling Stone came out with their list of the 100 greatest guitar players, and Prince wasn’t even on the list! He sure showed them!!! 🎸💜

    That reaction made me so happy! I just love watching someone experience Prince for the first time. “What are you watching?” The legendary, iconic, genius, Prince. Yes, all those words and so many more are appropriate for just one man. So glad you are hopping on the bus. Enjoy the ride!
    Please continue checking out his performances. They are epic. If you want to see him show his mastery of piano, check out the Piano Medley from the Lovesexy Tour. If you want to see him rock the drums, go with the live performances of “America” or “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night.” If you want to check him out on bass, take a look at him performing covers of “Play that Funky Music/Hollywood Swinging/Fantastic Voyage” at the LA Forum or “Pass the Peas” with Maceo Parker. If you want to see him dance, go with “Baby I’m a Star/Push” from the Special Olympics opening ceremony. The point is that he mastered many everything.
    One of my favorite performances to watch at the moment is “Thieves in the Temple/It” - he’s on an acoustic guitar for this one at the club he had in Minneapolis called Glam Slam ruclips.net/video/gbVRUY07I8k/видео.htmlsi=IjJKrVpz3zkreu84 💜💜💜

    Not only was Prince an Epic Guitar Player but he could play every instrument in the band and play everything better than his band members. Dude was amazing. Funny Prince story. When I was 17 my sister was 15 and she wanted to go to the Prince concert. The only way my mom would let her go was if I chaperoned. I wanted nothing to do with going to see Prince. My mom bought me 2 tickets so I could take someone so I caved and went. Turned out to be one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I was a Prince fan from that night on.

    Live performances, Prince employed a large accompaniment of great artists. For his albums - most songs were done primarily by him. Prince was atuned to 19 different instruments, and played each with force.

    As many others have said, watch his superbowl appearance. It was pouring rain. He was going to play the electric guitar (not surprising). Electricity and water typically don't mix. He refused to not play. To paraphase him, "They're here for a show and we're giving them one" and DAMN... it was friggin awesome.

    The Superbowl Performance when he played this song during a thunderstorm has to be reacted to, apparently when they told him it was going to rain afraid he was going to cancel, Prince asked them could they make it rain heavier! Top Superbowl performance ever.

    • @Rocker1983
      @Rocker1983 Месяц назад

      I got a question for you. What was the Twin Cities music seen like back in the 80s? And has it changed?
      The reason I ask is, my buddy and I came over there to see Metallica a few years ago. We thought well they must have a vibrant music seen. Knowing that Prince was from there, as well as Morris Day etc. So we thought after the show we would try to find a bar and watch some more live music. Metallica got done a little after 11. We walked around a 4 or 5 block area near the stadium. Only one bar was open. On a Saturday night. It took was 15 minutes to get a beer. Then the bar closed at midnight. Definitely not what we were expecting. Is that normal or were we just in the wrong part of town?

Check out If I Was Your Girlfriend, live from Sign Of The Times. Also, Play That Funky Music live from 2011 at the Forum. Motherless Child live is a knockout and showcases his ability as a band leader.

    Prince was very possibly the most talented singer/songwriter/composer/musician/performer of my entire 68 years of life. He could play practically any instrument you can name, obviously one of the greatest guitarists, unreal vocal skills, and just a showman extraordinaire. And yeah, he was a player. The ladies loved him, and he loved the ladies. By all means, check out his Superbowl Halftime Show. Definitely the greatest one ever.
