They asked Prince to do a guitar solo and he blew it up in true prince style , dressed to the nines and making it look so easy. A master entertainer, we lost a true artist when he left us 😢
@@Trwillis9 you must be Trippin because that’s all improv on that stage and really until you show me what you can do with a guitar for you to put down one of the best that ever did it. I’d love to hear your musical tastes.
Prince, nothing to say. Speechless. For all you crying about him showboating. That is Prince. They asked for Prince. They got Prince. He doesn't play instruments, he performs. And that was one hell of a performance. You didn't know, now you know.
Prince is the definition of the phrase, he understood the assignment. “You want a solo about a guitar gently weeping? Say no more.” He became the guitar. Man there will be never be another performer, artist like prince.
@@vincentjohncompono why does (or so it seems) we lose the best of the best way to young way to soon for the dumbest of reasons possible it’s not like they died in traffic accident or a train crash or as some have in single engine plane crashes but by doing drugs everyone knows better they know better than than to do or have anything to do with any serious drugs. Marijuana I don’t agree with but it’s the least of drugs that anyone can be bothered with anything other than that is like playing Russian Roulette you never when you will keel over dead sometimes while on stage preforming other times at home all alone because you have learned that any friends that hang around if your doing hard stuff are only there because your footing the bill to feed their habit too. Money an drug friends are not friends in definition of friends you could imagine as a definition for a friend. I can hope that instead of chemist inventing different drugs to try and beat the definition of what defines an illegal drug would instead invent something that appears by all outward signs appears to be an illegal drug but in actuality is a one use cure for any future illegal drug use no matter how much the user would like to use it would be a waste of money because any drug they purchased would have no effect whatsoever on them and even they would realize it’s a big waste of money to buy drugs that are illegal and they would have to at very least an most at the same time stop buying them. The savings they would make from not buying drugs would be significant it would be shocking to most and it would not take them but a mere few weeks to realize the savings they were making from not having to buy drugs. Then they would have one more battle trying to rid themselves of the buying problem that kept them in abject poverty for most of their lives at least for the average drug addict not those in the upper class of drug users who have so much they usually die from using before they go completely broke and ruin not just their lives but the family and the children and business associates who thought the most of them and the family that they had who depended on them for all they did for them for their own lives as well the wives and children that didn’t just love them for who they were but for their support emotionally and financially as they went about their lives which will face destruction they will have battle back from after your gone. Or the sins and daughters who were loved so much but ended up caring so little for their family so much so they lied to them stole from from and betrayed the love given so freely all gone given away for what ? their next fix ? For some junkie that only liked them because he found a rich kid he could take advantage of until the money ran out Then their worth wasn’t worth anything anymore to any body what’s left for some it no longer a life worth living. They’ve hit bottom unfortunately it’s the bottom of a grave for some for others a bleak life of trying to survive on the streets trying to find a partner to watch your back and you watch theirs no children because heroin is better than sex or so I’ve been told by so many people who chose wrong to saying yes instead of no. Some know as soon as they take their taste of the drug of choice they will never stop others know they will not ever do it again don’t be either one don’t risk finding out which one of the two you are it’s not worth it to find out which one you are. Take that from witness to those that chose wrong. I was a lucky one to see but not get involved because I knew because I had a family that cared because I had a few friends that cared for me and not making a profit or their next score off of me.
Man it's a shame that timeless artists like this don't get more play and spotlight time. It almost as if it takes death for the majority of people to realize their contributions as well as influence to art and music alike. Ahead of their time in so many ways
Prince in the dark until he wasn’t. Then history happened. I will live another 20 years if I’m lucky. This will be the greatest guitar solo I ever saw. Never left the pocket. Wasn’t too flashy. Just incredible the entire time.
@Deese Knutz Don't start with the RACIAL CRAP. The reason Prince's guitar prowess is often overlooked is because he has done so many OTHER things superbly!!!!!!!!! SINGING, DANCING, SONGWRITING, COMPOSING, ARRANGING as well as many OTHER instruments he was able to play. So yes, his guitar playing was often overlooked because he did EVERYTHING and NOT because he was black. So please take that RACE CARD out of your wallet and throw it away FOREVER my brother.
Right ! Prince couldn’t be denied. It’s like all the kings and queens bowed when Prince came through. Just enough confidence to be like yeah I know I’m a bad mofo and just enough respect for the others to be like I’m enjoying the shit out of this with you guys! I’d say of live performances of rock this Hass to be either the best or at least in the top five up there with Jimi Hendrix killing floor at Monterey , queen live, set at live aid, and maybe U2. At red rock that’s a big maybe though. Stevie Ray Vaughan voodoo Child I forget which one there are quite a few good ones you get what I mean though there are such few live acts that did it as big as that if anybody else has something to add please do.
I could almost cry for not recognizing the talent Prince had. I wasn’t into that kind of music when he was preforming and preforming at his best I might add. After watching him not only play perfectly and preform flawless the cherry on top was the way he finished up throwing his guitar straight up into the air then turning an walking away, performance over time to move on. Showing everyone how he own the time there and he wasn’t going to waste any of not preforming. Time Go. An amazing talented performer who I will never be able to witness his true greatness as I believe he had not yet peaked. There is some solace in the knowledge that his performances have been recorded for posterity and I may be able to pull some from various archives to watch him perform yet again an again over an over
This still gets to me.😢I remember hearing the news on the radio of George’s passing on my drive home from work. I had to pull over bcuz I couldn’t stop the tears. Then there’s Prince at his finest. I know he still had music left in him. The shitiest year was when we lost Bowie, Prince and George Michael. 💔😭 I am happy for Dahni that he got to part of a rare performance of his father’s beautiful music.
Never cared for Prince before this. But if there's anything like stylish guitar performance, here it is.One of the most stylish playing with skills ever seen by me. Style Quotient off the charts. Wherever you are Prince, I hope you are now playing that guitar you threw up to heavens. Sorry I underestimated you. Rock On,Priince!
Yes, and he is effortlessly lifted back onto the stage after a complete collapsing tribute to Harrison's son. This performance is so powerful it is almost impossible to experience, assimilate and contain. Perhaps musically it is impossible to replicate.
Besides the sheer guitar brilliance shown by Prince there are so many little things to enjoy here: the grin on Dhani and Tom's faces at 4:44, then Prince again at 4:58, Tom shaking his head at 5:08 as if to say "Man this guy is good!"; then Prince's smile and nod at 5:34. They're obviously having so much fun, it's a pleasure to watch.
I thought the same thing and still do, but after listening to an interview that Dhani did about Prince’s performance, where he called it “gratuitous”, I wonder what they were really thinking on that stage during Prince’s performance.
@@sbillips753 💖Dhani let a bunch of jealous D's get in his head. He loved it when it happened, but people probably started whispering in his ears over the years that he shouldn't like this tribute to his father, and he fell for it. That's just sad that he would let them take away one of the happiest moments in his life.💖🎸💖
@@purpleflowers699 Yes that is true, I remember seeing a longer clip from this performance a few years ago and Dhani was smiling and very excited afterwards and kept asking "Where is Prince?, where is Prince?, I want to thank him/or talk to him!". So at the time right after it happened Dhani was very very happy!!!
@@sbillips753 They looked like they were surprised. I also think that Prince did it for a reason. Something happened behind the scenes that Prince was obviously pissed offed about. Prince hardly expressed his distaste verbally.You could always tell it in his face and then in his music. Perfect time to grab the show! I liked Claptons version but Prince mopped the floor with this solo.
@@locadisa Prince was supposed to do most of the solos, but in rehearsals the other guitarist (Lynne's) kept stepping in and playing Prince's parts, Prince eventually told the organizer to let the other guy play the first solos and that he (Prince) would play the final. Look it up.
George fully understood and would've loved that scenario: The quiet guy that a couple of players aren't sure will "fit in" takes his turn three quarters of the way through and winds up blowing the rest of the field away. I think George held people like that in very high esteem. People who showed their strength through thoughtfulness, spirituality, generosity, humor, basic decency and on occasions such as this, were additionally possessed with the ability to wield a guitar with the unsurpassable talent of a Prince. To the quiet Beatle and the Prince, thank you for this, and for everything you did to enrich people's enjoyment of music, sirs.
Regardless of how he'd feel about it, the fact is that solo makes you really feel the spirit of the song, how a guitar can express emotion on a level otherwise impossible to achieve.
It's never about "blowing the rest of the field away". This was simply a tremendous ensemble performance, with an amazing solo climax. Great music has little to do with blowing others away. It has everything to do with taking the listener places they might never have expected to go.
I think alot of people don't realize how talented Prince was ! I think he was about 18 when he recorded his first album! Where he not only wrote all the music, lyrics , played each instrament! And arranged ! And continued to write everything! He could dance and sing ! And play!!! That for me separates him! From anybody else!!! That question comparing him to MJ ! Not even close!!! Name someone who plays 23 instruments writes hits , performs like that!!!!!!
That is definitely a command tribute to the not just the song to the Beatles as well. Thank you to all of you Rock Icons for the honor you bring to the Rock-Roll table! R.I.P. those gone before us
I bet George would have been well chuffed, it was a meaningful tribute. You could see the look on Harrison's kids face, he was blown away by Prince's brilliance.
JUST WOW !! What a friggin performance, so sad half of them aren’t around anymore , I saw Tom Petty twice in the 80’s and 90’s, but never Prince , and never knew he was as badass on the guitar as he proved there ! OMG , still have goosebumps from this video !!
I come back to this video every so often because the story behind princes part is funny, plus the way he throws the guitar and walks off at the end and you never see it come down
When you Do something you Do it right, When you're paying tribute to a Icon you multiply that by 1,000. Everyone Man on that Stage put everything they had & Left it right there, At the end Prince took "it". Signed it, Sealed it & DELIVERED a Iconic Performance to another Icon. Outstanding Gentleman!!
It's April 26,2020...we're in the midst of a "Global Pandemic ". I am simply amazed at the talent assembled here...sad that we've lost a few great musicians, I can't help but thing what band(s) are playing up in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with all of us! RIP ❤🙏😘
One of my favorite performances of all time. Prince quiet in the corner, just waiting to burn the house down. What a fantastic memorial to George. 🔥❤️🔥
You click the video waiiting to see prince, then your angry there's no prince, then you're thinking these fools forgot prince!? then you're like oh no, prince on the side!!? then the solo happens, your face melts off, and you're left wondering if God caught the guitar. wtf hapened!?
God - "Time to give the guitar back, Prince. What did I tell you about touching my stuff with out asking? Play time is over, get your butt to the studio now. "
A girl from New Jersey caught it. She lives in Hoboken she won't let it go for anything. A friend of mine offered her $ 10,000 for it and she turned it down.
THIS IS WHAT BOZE HEADPHONES WERE MADE FOR ;):) miss this dude in the physical. He is EASY TO CHANNEL!! he is more of a ham now that he is on the other side of the veil.
I'm the same bud, prince owns it like a boss.... I know he's amongst legends,but it just goes to show just how special the human being truly was.... The world will not be the same with him.... R.i.p prince,and thank u for sharing u're magic with us mear mortals.... Gone but never forgotten.....
Just amazing! Georges son looks just like him...and Prince...What can I say? The best guitarist I think he is better than Hendrix, Clapton, all the greats! Bravo!
I gotta say, I never cared for the music Prince created of his own, more a matter of my personal preferences , genre, and so forth. But by God, the man could LIGHT UP A GUITAR! Ever imagine a band handpicked by yourself,and who you would choose from all the musicians living or dead, famous and well regarded,or obscure and unknown? Well despite being a fan of the Perry/Whitford, Nugent, Tipton/Downing,Marino, etc. era, Prince would be assured of a membership in my lineup.
... and this is why Eric Clapton has called Prince the greatest guitar player of all time. I have seen this probably 100's of times and it STILL gives me the chills to watch Prince play. If you know anything about the guitar, what he did in this performance was absolutely untouchable.
Same here. Also Beware of Darkness. So many of his songs are both spiritual and haunting. You just don't see this around today. Hopefully in the future. Gotta have faith.
After falling back into his bodyguards hands. He doesn't skip a beat... Gives a lil grin and knocks out that funky little riff... Slides down that bass line like, " Yeah MFers... I (Prince) came here to send GH out with a bang."
Wow 😮 😮 ' I just happened to run a cross this Performance ' Lord I 🙏 😭 😢 I cannot stop replaying this ' Love me some Prince ' 💜 ♥ he was so Talented ' 💜 ❤ RIP "
Growing up in the 80’s of course I was subjected to the many hits that Prince produced, it took years for me to fully appreciate the mark he left on the world of music. He was one of a kind musical prodigy and had an enormously profound affect on so many in the world. Luckily I was able to see him live in 1997 and savored every moment. I hope by passing his music onto my kids and the younger generation we keep his legacy and spirit alive. RIP Prince
This is such a badass performance by 1 & by all...they all make this 1 of greatest music performances ever... George, Tom & Prince yaw rest in peace & do yaw's thang up in Heaven...luv & miss yaw...
I love watching this performance over and over. They are all just having fun jamming together. The young one on Tom's right was watching Prince playing the whole time with a big smile on his face and they all gave each other a big smile here and there.
I can never get enough of legends jamming together for a fellow musician. The talent! And love performing Jeff Healys version when we can. George and the Beatles influenced so much of the great musicians and sadly if we dont keep classic blues and real bands alive....what's left for music. Bubblegum
I must say, I never before appreciated prince, as much as I do now. I love tom P, Jeff Lynne for all they given me through the years. But after I saw this, Prince gave me an appreciation for this song, that's greater than ever. That was IS Beautiful" Rip Tp, P💕
I've seen this quite a few times, but never noticed...the end, where Prince "drops the mic (guitar)"..in the air, to a waiting roadie stepped in planned catch. Very respectful, not flaunting wealth the way they do. You never heard the guitar crash into the stage floor YES he plays great. Watch purple rain movie it's fkn GOOD
I can watch this ending over and over and over again and it never gets even the slightest bit boring! Hats off to Prince & Petty. RIP 🙏
yup RIP Tom Petty and prince but they will never be forgot to this day
They asked Prince to do a guitar solo and he blew it up in true prince style , dressed to the nines and making it look so easy. A master entertainer, we lost a true artist when he left us 😢
Fuck fentanyl and millions who loved him and could never reach him.
Na it's cause he was a really badass guitar player an they thought that he'd fuck it up but he showed different
Nah I don’t think they thought that at all. As a matter of fact, there weren’t many things Prince ever fucked up. Perfection comes to mind.
Well said man. He’s the epitome of an Artist, it ran through his entire being. Wow
😢
This performance never gets old; the excitement on George son's face says it all.
My gosh! Yes it does!! His dad would’ve been the same!! That Man was just a Genius!! Rest dear 💜
Ikr?!? He looks as if he was having the time of his life!
I noticed that too. He was waiting for it the whole song.
"In the worst time of my life, Prince's music changed my life, it gave me hope again"- Eric Clapton.
When an interviewer asked Clapton what it felt like to be the World's Greatest Guitar Player, he replied "I don't know. You'll have to ask Prince."
Eric is trippin.. Prince can shred but his music is mot that serious tbh. He has less than 10 supremely amazing songs.. 5 at most

I think alot of people don't realize how talented Prince was ! I think he was about 18 when he recorded his first album! Where he not only wrote all the music, lyrics , played each instrament! And arranged ! And continued to write everything! He could dance and sing ! And play!!! That for me separates him! From anybody else!!! That question comparing him to MJ ! Not even close!!! Name someone who plays 23 instruments writes hits , performs like that!!!!!!
Mike Oldfield. He was a genius in playing many different instruments. 😉
But I agree, that Prince was a genius 😊👍🖖
Prince exceeded what Erick Clapton did
Stevie Wonder
Michael Jackson was on a totally different level vocally and as a performer and it wasn’t even close so please don’t go there
Preach.
That is definitely a command tribute to the not just the song to the Beatles as well. Thank you to all of you Rock Icons for the honor you bring to the Rock-Roll table!
R.I.P. those gone before us
One of the best live guitar leads ever...stunning🎵♥️🥊x
I never get tired of watching this! All amazing musicians.
Speechless..............brought tears to my eyes!
This was the first video I sought when Prince died, and now sadly the first I seek after hearing about Tom Petty. RIP Prince and Tom Petty.
I bet George would have been well chuffed, it was a meaningful tribute. You could see the look on Harrison's kids face, he was blown away by Prince's brilliance.
Rory Sullivan:InLaterInterview, DhaniHReferred2Prince's GuitarSoloAs'Gratuitus', yetILuvedIt!WhereTheHell WasRingoOnDrums&Eric🎸 ClaptonInPrince'sPlace,or🎸 BesideHim..EClaptonAlways PlayedThisClassicTuneWith🎸 George&@ConcertForGeorge soWhereWasHe@ThisEvent??
Actually, Dhani was laughing at Prince and all the other band members were pissed at Prince for being such a fucking showoff.
Alden21 Prince had more talent in his pinky than all those boring guys together
@@diegoportillo21 I doubt that dont sound like an IDIOT.
@@BrianR. is just mad because Prince wouldn't bed down his mom
JUST WOW !! What a friggin performance, so sad half of them aren’t around anymore , I saw Tom Petty twice in the 80’s and 90’s, but never Prince , and never knew he was as badass on the guitar as he proved there ! OMG , still have goosebumps from this video !!
Geez, my skin bristles when I hear those guitars cry. Thanks music for so much
I come back to this video every so often because the story behind princes part is funny, plus the way he throws the guitar and walks off at the end and you never see it come down
Prince was just brilliant in so many ways here💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💋💋💋💋💋
Man once I click on this I watch it like 15 times straight every time. Love this song and Prince💜💜💜
Prince knew how to make a guitar weep. An amazing artist and human being.
Prince was on another level 🎉🎉 RIP Tom ,George , Prince .
When you Do something you Do it right, When you're paying tribute to a Icon you multiply that by 1,000. Everyone Man on that Stage put everything they had & Left it right there, At the end Prince took "it". Signed it, Sealed it & DELIVERED a Iconic Performance to another Icon. Outstanding Gentleman!!
Can’t believe they are both gone. Wherever we go the talent is astounding. Fly high
That’s a weeping guitar...Prince got it perfectly!! Ouch...awesome!! 😁👏🏻😁🙋🏻♂️
The solo we all needed in our life. PRINCE NELSON ROGERS! You felt every chord!!
Prince slayed that!
That was an unbelievable solo!
Yes he did! Geez
Never mind your weeping guitar George. Prince's caught fire and melted. Best solo ever.
R.I.P. Prince You where really an amazing guitar player.
I haven't smoked in over 20 years, but after watching Prince smoke that guitar, I suddenly feel the urge to light up.
PRINCE is simply SMOKIN'!!!! Go on my friend and tear it up. Lord how you are missed. I think George would have LOVED this!
It’s wonderful we can use this system to watch Prince play here now an again and again and again
I see this as not only the greatest Harrison tribute but the greatest tribute to Rock N Roll as a whole
It's April 26,2020...we're in the midst of a "Global Pandemic ". I am simply amazed at the talent assembled here...sad that we've lost a few great musicians, I can't help but thing what band(s) are playing up in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with all of us! RIP ❤🙏😘
Bonzo; Jimi; John Lennon; John Entwistle ; Billy Preston - not a bad combo!!
Its april 29th,2021 were still fucked and its gonna get worse RIP
Thank fuck for good music
Amazing! we have lost some truly amazing artist!
Tom Petty shaking his head in disbelief at 5.00 mins at Princes playing is a joy . What a guitar player
One of my favorite performances of all time. Prince quiet in the corner, just waiting to burn the house down. What a fantastic memorial to George. 🔥❤️🔥
My sanctuary, whenever I feel melancholic. RIP Prince and Tom.
This is amazing!! I miss you Prince and Tom P. I love you and miss y’all so much!
You click the video waiiting to see prince, then your angry there's no prince, then you're thinking these fools forgot prince!? then you're like oh no, prince on the side!!? then the solo happens, your face melts off, and you're left wondering if God caught the guitar. wtf hapened!?
He is vibing with the presence of all the great musicians in the corner of the stage and is taking his solo for god in the end.
Lost count how many times I've watched this. It transports me to a time and place in my life when life was much more ......... "real"
I watch it many times and each time IAM blown away...wjatba piece of guitar solo history
great tribute by one genius to another I love Tom petty too may they all RIP
This is mind blowing and amazing. I have to watch it every so often to remind myself of badass-ry.
That time when Prince threw his guitar up to heaven and God caught it.
yea wtf! I had to rewind and watch that again
🤭😆😃😂🤘😷💫🥀☔🥀💫
God - "Time to give the guitar back, Prince. What did I tell you about touching my stuff with out asking? Play time is over, get your butt to the studio now. "
A girl from New Jersey caught it. She lives in Hoboken she won't let it go for anything. A friend of mine offered her $ 10,000 for it and she turned it down.
@@ricrothwell7677 Seriously?
I watched this 3 times in a row! The smile kept getting bigger and bigger a bigger….😂 I love this song!!
Gets better every year.
Thanks guys.
THIS IS WHAT BOZE HEADPHONES WERE MADE FOR ;):) miss this dude in the physical. He is EASY TO CHANNEL!! he is more of a ham now that he is on the other side of the veil.
The way he bends the strings and uses vibrato at the top of the bend at 4:13 is next level
I'm the same bud, prince owns it like a boss.... I know he's amongst legends,but it just goes to show just how special the human being truly was.... The world will not be the same with him.... R.i.p prince,and thank u for sharing u're magic with us mear mortals.... Gone but never forgotten.....
Just amazing! Georges son looks just like him...and Prince...What can I say? The best guitarist I think he is better than Hendrix, Clapton, all the greats! Bravo!
Waow..... n Prince is Excellent. ... May The Beautiful Souls keep on Tripping This Master pièce .. 💜💜💜
I gotta say, I never cared for the music Prince created of his own, more a matter of my personal preferences , genre, and so forth. But by God, the man could LIGHT UP A GUITAR! Ever imagine a band handpicked by yourself,and who you would choose from all the musicians living or dead, famous and well regarded,or obscure and unknown? Well despite being a fan of the Perry/Whitford, Nugent, Tipton/Downing,Marino, etc. era, Prince would be assured of a membership in my lineup.
Marino? Fabulous virtuoso..... you just don't hear the admiration enough
Check this out: ruclips.net/video/CqXvGDuyCnA/видео.html
Never get tired of watching this.... Prince is amazing.
Prince stole the show that's all there is to it
So happy I got to see Prince live before his passing.
... and this is why Eric Clapton has called Prince the greatest guitar player of all time. I have seen this probably 100's of times and it STILL gives me the chills to watch Prince play. If you know anything about the guitar, what he did in this performance was absolutely untouchable.
Same here. Also Beware of Darkness. So many of his songs are both spiritual and haunting. You just don't see this around today. Hopefully in the future. Gotta have faith.
I know enough about playing to say that Prince solo was....IMMACULATE.
After falling back into his bodyguards hands. He doesn't skip a beat... Gives a lil grin and knocks out that funky little riff... Slides down that bass line like, " Yeah MFers... I (Prince) came here to send GH out with a bang."
Wow 😮 😮 ' I just happened to run a cross this Performance ' Lord I 🙏 😭 😢 I cannot stop replaying this ' Love me some Prince ' 💜 ♥ he was so Talented ' 💜 ❤ RIP "
Damn Prince knew how to play the hell out of that guitar! bunch of legends up on that stage!
Growing up in the 80’s of course I was subjected to the many hits that Prince produced, it took years for me to fully appreciate the mark he left on the world of music. He was one of a kind musical prodigy and had an enormously profound affect on so many in the world. Luckily I was able to see him live in 1997 and savored every moment. I hope by passing his music onto my kids and the younger generation we keep his legacy and spirit alive. RIP Prince
I'm no Prince fan...but that was amazing.
yeah ditto
Agree
Stuart Carter why not? He is an amazing musician.
prince was one of the true masters I will miss him 🙏
agreed.not a Prince fan but boy...
I loved the way Prince and Petty were smiling at each other in pure joy.
Imagine that…. Superstars sounding like superstars! Love this rendition!
This is such a badass performance by 1 & by all...they all make this 1 of greatest music performances ever...
George, Tom & Prince yaw rest in peace & do yaw's thang up in Heaven...luv & miss yaw...
The way Prince keeps stickin it! Damn!
I love watching this performance over and over. They are all just having fun jamming together. The young one on Tom's right was watching Prince playing the whole time with a big smile on his face and they all gave each other a big smile here and there.
George's lad is the spit of his dad
Beautiful.....with the best .....unbelievable!!!!!💗Prince.....at his best !!!!....Petty....and Dani!!!!
i love that there are now actually college & music school courses breaking down every aspect of this performance -- best RRHOF finale EVER
Heart doing stairway to heaven is pretty damn close.
Ring to my ears.... Beautiful Badass!!! 🤩
Jeff Lynne's vocal is fantastic and who is this Prince guy? He's far better than I imagined. I dismissed him in the 80's. Wrongly I suppose.
Yes. Yes you did!
True that to Jeff Lynne's vocals.
....Pure perfection.
As for Prince, he's the B-O -M-B!
Prince slays this! I still cry about his death
@@ThrowAway271 yes but he was writing songs like this behind the scenes I was very surprised his talents were amazing
I was never a prince fan but that man could play the guitar 🎸. God bless them all for the music they gave us.
Dudes that lil purple guy Shreds , new Respect for Prince.
Fantastic cover of absolutely brilliant song!!! R.I.P. George Harrison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone did they're thing. Excellent, seriously. But Prince............wow. next level.
Good luck everybody
I can never get enough of legends jamming together for a fellow musician. The talent! And love performing Jeff Healys version when we can. George and the Beatles influenced so much of the great musicians and sadly if we dont keep classic blues and real bands alive....what's left for music. Bubblegum
One year gone tomorrow - simply cannot believe it. The word Legend will never do him justice. :(
Prince! What a beast! The consumate showman, skills to die for. Wonderful.
Beautiful track, Prices solo-mindblowing, more talent lost to us, thankfully still on record xx
I must say, I never before appreciated prince, as much as I do now. I love tom P, Jeff Lynne for all they given me through the years. But after I saw this, Prince gave me an appreciation for this song, that's greater than ever. That was IS Beautiful"
Rip Tp, P💕
I've seen this quite a few times, but never noticed...the end, where Prince "drops the mic (guitar)"..in the air, to a waiting roadie stepped in planned catch. Very respectful, not flaunting wealth the way they do. You never heard the guitar crash into the stage floor YES he plays great. Watch purple rain movie it's fkn GOOD
