![INCREDIBLE! | Prince - Play that Funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage [REACTION]](/img/1.gif)
Prince was so amazing that to most of the people watching do not notice that many of his moves, head bobs, gittar jabs, even that look in his eyes that you exclaimed at are all directing the members of the band. Prince is the epitome of an orcestral director without anyone even noticing. Take a stroll through the many live videos and watch him closely!!!
Agree #Prince was a great bandleader along with his MANY other talents. Any real musician would notice #Prince's talent.
Gittar jabs got me
Prince…. The absolute Master of Musicology!! The GREATEST ever on planet earth. 💔💜☔️
This statement is 1000% correct!💜
His performance of Creep gets better every time I listen to it.
My parents were at this show & this was Prince's like 7th encore. That's why the show almost looks like a rehearsal & this was a 7th ecnore after already performing for 3 hours. Than after the concerts, Prince would make a surprise pop up at a night club & continue to perform his rare songs til 6am. You can't say Prince wasn't the physcial embodiement of music!
Are you serious?
I have been to his concerts where they have had 3 encore performances,
But SE7EN?
Dude was friggin incredible!
In Toronto, 2011 - show 1 (Nov) he did something like this. @@keithbell9348
2011.04.28 - This was the 4th encore and the full concert was 160mins (2 hrs 40mins). He came back on for a 5th encore of "More Than This".
4. Last one was Brian Ferry cover ‘More Than This’
He didn't do encores. Everything was meticulously rehearsed
I saw him 5 times including one time in an after hours club after he already finished a concert at the main venue. You would have been in heaven….he just lived to play. The after hours show he came on at 1:30am and played until 4am - covers and hits. I think he just wore himself out and left us.
Prince was one of those few artists who was a conduit to music. He was a perfectionist who played many instruments, had great vocals and was an amazing songwriter.
So true! I hate that people type cast him as just the Purple Rain guy. He was so much more and is deeply missed 💜💜💜
Prince was the benchmark for live funck performance..end of debate
That “Inglewood Swingin’” thing was because this show was at the Forum, in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood.
This is too simple not to understand. 🤯🧠 LITERALLY *(Hollywood to Inglewood) Inglewood the "BLACK COMMUNITY OF INGLEWOOD" blends perfectly 😇🙏🏽 PRINCE have Always shout out BLACK COMMUNITIES people etc.
Prince could play and write music for 20plus instruments. He was good beyond what most people know.
Its such a joy to watch your discovery of music history!
Like Edgar Winter so much talent ... Those 2 were the best . Although Paul McCartney was and is still the only person to do EVERYTHING on one album .
Keep up the Prince 😊
Prince was the greatest musical genius in the history of popular music. His mastery of the music and the way he could control his band onstage was just sheer mastery. Prince was Music.
You really got your money's worth at a Prince concert. Unbelievable talent in every aspect, and he surrounded himself with unbelievable talent.
Those boots were all the rage! Honestly, Prince could wear a suit of broccoli and Vogue will feature it in the next magazine 😎🥰
Prince's unique outfits are tailored made specifically for him. That's why he looks good in all of them. That's another reason why he stands out from other entertainers. They would look ridiculous if they tried to wear what he wore.
Well, He was a vegan lol
Fur ugh boots
Another guitar masterclass by Prince is the 2021 Guitar Gently Weeps at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Must see if you have not yet.
Unmatched guitar playing in that video.
There will never be another like him! RIP🙏🏼
Perfectly said. 🙏
people say that about a lot of artists, But there will never ever be another TALENT like him. 💜
Hey, Sebs! I love your Prince reactions. I was only 22 when Prince passed, but I got 38 shows in and they were all phenomenal. The small shows were definitely the greatest, and he always gave 700% on the stage no matter what size the audience was. The smallest show I attended had like 10-15 people in the audience (and he had us get on stage and sing backing vocals into his mic to a basically empty room). I'm gonna try to answer some of the questions you had and give you a few multi-instrument performance recommendations as well.
The Twinz are wearing wheels on their shoes, so they can skate around the stage. Kinda like Heelys but without the wheels obstructing the sole of the shoe, so they can still dance in them.
The song is called Hollywood Swinging, but this show was at the Inglewood Forum. That's why he had them singing Inglewood Swinging instead.
He's actually not playing a telecaster - it's a Hohner Mad Cat. He bought a used one in 1980, and it remained one of his favorite guitars throughout his career.
Okay, here are some performance recommendation with some brief notes about them:
2005 NAACP performance - He plays rhythm guitar, keyboards, bass, and lead guitar in this one. The longer version with the award introduction also talks about him as an advocate for artists' rights. One of the best award show performances you will ever see.
Rave Un2 the Year 2000 concert film - specifically the part where they do Gett Off (Housestyle) into Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing, he has a keyboard solo and a drum/quads solo. He also does the most ridiculous version of the splits that I've ever seen in my life - at 41-years-old, nonetheless. There are some really amazing guitar performances during this concert film as well - one that stands out in my mind at this moment is his performance of Purple House (cover of Jimi's Red House). I know the audio for that one is on youtube by itself, but there is video for it in the full concert film on youtube (or you can probably find it on facebook).
It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night from the Sign O' the Times concert film - This performance is super high energy, really fun dancing, and he gets back on drums while Sheila E raps.
America live performance from 1985 - Another high octane performance, he has a brief guitar solo and gets back on the drums on this one as well.
Partyman live at the Tokyo Dome 1990 - Mostly dancing in this one, but he has a killer piano solo. And to start the solo, he runs across the stage, slides on his belly across the top of the piano, and starts playing his solo upside down.
1999/Baby I'm a Star/Push from the Glam Slam 1992 concert film - This one is super fun as well. High energy and great rhythm guitar work. This show was at a club he owned in Downtown Minneapolis (extra shout out to Black ownership!), and he dances on the bar during this part of the performance.
I feel like that's probably a good starting point. Lol. There are so many amazing performances from throughout his entire career, so it can be quite a task to narrow it down.
I was about to write a bunch of answers to your questions and read Samantha’s comment so I no longer needed to. Haha! Ditto to everything Samantha said and recommended. 💜💜💜
Seb, I have defended Prince to everybody I ever get in a conversation with about guitarists. They say, Jimmy Hendricks. I say Prince! They say Eddie Can Halen, I say Prince, They say Jimmy Paige, I say Prince, They say Carlos Santana, I say Prince. He is very underrated. And this from a man who is totally self-taught. PRINCE! THE GOAT!
@@lilamuzik3385 I’m sure you have heard the story about Eric Clapton being asked what it felt like to be the best guitarist. His response was, “I don’t know, ask Prince.”
“Bambi” is another great song from Prince’s 1990 Tokyo Dome live show. His guitar solo is fantastic!
Wow your knowledge in Princology is pretty impressive. That word should be in the dictionary. Princology- When you enter the journey of making music with no boundaries and you master the art of instrumentation to perfection/when you master the art of crowd control in live performance. When you master the art of reinvention.
Prince is an unparalleled mythic legend. 💜
1000% agree💜
Prince a genius in the music business no one can compare excellence with instruments especially the guitar! 🎸 RIP my brother.
One of the best of the Showmen; full of style and pizzaz...Magnetic and totally outrageous. Impossible to imagine in life on stage. No recording can possibly fully protray this Master Muscian...
GARGANTUAN TALENT WITH SKILL GALORE. Check-out the Superbowl Half-Time Show...The Best of all the Half-Time Shows. Or, the Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' for George Harrison. TOTAL MAGIC WHENEVER PRINCE IS ON STAGE.
You should check out his version of “ Motherless Child” absolutely sublime!!
Mind blowing Talent and chops this man.
Computer Blue is my favorite of Prince's guitar playing. I get excited every time I play it.
His live performance America Live 1985 (Official Video) he plays the guitar and at the end he does a drum solo.
Yeah, well he also played drums in "I Wanna Be Your Lover" as well as in the Sign O' The Times concert movie's "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night" where he and Sheila E. switch off.
I'm ashamed to say that I've never heard this song by Prince! What a jam, and how wonderful to hear TWO bass solos. One of the best all-time dance/party songs - thanks, Wild Cherry! I love how he lets band members take/share the stage - it doesn't have to be "just him" on stage.
This Prince performance is a top 5 youtube music gem. The sheer talent. 🙌💜💜
Interestingly enough, for years I thought he was playing a Fender Telecaster too, but that awesome butterscotch beauty is actually a Hohner Madcat !!
One of the best live performances ever. The GOAT!!!
I would love to see you do alot more Prince stuff, only because watching people fall in love with Prince the way I did brings me joy. And your reactions are how I felt the first time. You have so much to listen to and I guarantee his music will change your life.
I saw prince live in 1997 during the Emancipation tour. He played guitar, bass, piano, and drums. It was just absolutely mind blowing. Truly the G.O.A.T.!
His live shows were AWESOME!! So glad to see you "younguns" enjoying this music.
So something that out of all the accolades that Prince gets as a musician/song writer as a person he was humble and loved his fans. He disliked the industries way of making money not only off of the artists but he felt the fans got over charged as well. He had many concerts at Paisley Park where he had full control of ticket prices as it was his venue in the 90's and early 2000's that he only charged $5.00 a ticket because he felt fans should not have to pay what he thought was outrages ticket prices back then. He also had a show at the Minneapolis venue were he started that he charged such a low price he had to pay the venue for letting him preform. He also gave a lot of his money to youth centers all around Minneapolis as it being his home town. Just a little look at the personal side of Prince that seemed to get over shadowed by his bigger then life persona and flamboyancy.
Please react to Prince "It's gonna be a beautiful night" Live. It's insanely high energy & he gives a killer drum solo 🤗
YES! When he and Sheila swapped out it was friggin MAGICAL! Sign o" the Times concert video is so awesome.
Prince was funk more than anything. Been a fan since I was 12 years old. And I’m a Minnesota girl and my uncle knew him. He was a bouncer in a downtown Minneapolis bar.. Prince was all about Minneapolis. Made me feel like I knew him. Have a great story of when my uncle moved out of Minneapolis to a very small town and he drove all the way out there in his purple limo back in the’80s. I wasn’t there, had to hear about it the next day. Prince always did crazy stuff.
I can attest to what Oscar said about seeing Prince live. I attended every concert since the summer of 1988 love sexy tour and right up to welcome 2 America. It was always a spiritual experience to have thousands of people in the same venue , vibing to Prince was euphoric and spiritual to say the least and anyone and everyone I took to his concerts agreed the same. I was blessed to have been able to witness the music God , Prince, live!! The goat!!!!! Bar none !!
So glad I got to see him live 6 times. From '82 to 2007. Thank you Prince!❤❤❤❤
Saw prince 14 times in uk on 14 different tours , so amazing,
Please watch Prince, Tom Petty and a host of other famous musicians play a tribute to The Beatles’ George Harrison with the song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Also watch Prince’s performance of Sign o’ the Times when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I love how perfectly his shows were. So much fun. He was so talented and always had great musicians including talented female players which I always respected. Listen to Soft and Wet and Nothing Compares To You which he allowed Sinead O’Conner to sing and made her famous. The amount of songs he wrote and allowed others to perform is astounding.
Fortunate enough to have seen him live a few years before he passed, it was pretty much a seamless 2 hour mashup of many of his most popular songs and a few covers where he played guitar, drums, piano and had full control of the 12 piece horn section while he was performing. Really just amazing to watch
This is his 3rd or 4th encore that night.
Prince was one in a million!❤
More like one in 7.9 billion. One of a kind never to be duplicated again. Glad we have all this footage to shake our heads to.
@@aldocipriotti6752 #Prince is in a class of 1.
1 in 8 Billion!!!
I have dozens of screenshots of Prince and his epic “guitar face.” This man is just beyond words great!
#Prince LIVE was an experience, his talent cannot be stressed enough. The MOST prolific artist. He gave us everything he had on that stage. Hope you do a deep dive into his talents. Thankfully He left us so much. He truly is the Greatest of all time. #RealMusicByRealMusicians #Prince in a class of ONE.
YES, Prince was the most talented musician ever‼️ He was self taught on so many different instruments and his talent and showmanship was beyond compare‼️⭐🌠
Hi, Sebs 👋! I’m visiting your channel for the first time and loving it! I’ve been a huge Prince fam since his Controversy album. I’d like to recommend you watch his “Sign Of The Times” concert film. It will blow you away! And, he plays the drums🥁 on the second-to-last song.
Thanks!
Thanks for this! To this day, when a Prince song comes on the radio, you know who it is!❤
I saw Prince live outdoors at the Mill City Music Festival in Minneapolis in 1999, what an experience.
I’m a Fam since 1979 and I was Blessed…..yeah Truly Blessed to see Him 13 times Live.
And the ones who saw Him will agree with me that those concerts weren’t just regular concerts….They were way beyond that.
For me those were trips to places I’ve never been before and to be 1 with the Man I love the Most made me the Happiest person on the planet.
I’ll forever be grateful and in debt coz i can never repay Him for what He did to my life.
I Miss Him every single day.
But i know One day we will meet again 💜🙌🏻👏🏻💜
the new generation would do well to wake up and learn what real music means... Prince is a shining example, live voices, live musical instruments, nothing fake... an artist who really loves what he does, a genius mind...
Exactly, and no smoke and mirrors. No special effects. When you’re that good, you ARE the special effect.
The wonderful Voice, the guitarplaying,the look, the man, the artist, the person.
Everything ist so unreal good. The best Artist on the Planet, 4ever and 4 sure!
❤️
When Celebrities call U Thee Celebrity amongst Celebrities…..U not not only made it but it also means Everything to be called that by your Peers.
If you have the time watch how Everyone talks about Prince ….His Parties are Legendary and so are His stories.
There’s absolutely no one in History like Prince….He was Truly Unique and One of a Kind.
And for the ones who grew up with Him ….we were all Truly Blessed to be Born when He was making Real Music and even more so to be in His Orbit.
Prince was amazing, I was never such a huge fan and regret not seeing him live, He lived in Toronto for awhile where I lived. I cried for days after he died. I love watching him, super talented one of the best guitarists musicians ever. He always played with women.
Thank u for sharing the funkiness that Prince was.. My first time seeing him was in 1981.💜 Would love to see you react to his cover of Creep at Coachella 🎸🎵 As Prince would say.. Peace and be wild✌️
What I love the most about Prince is that he writes, sings, & can play 5+ instruments. He really put on an experience. You should check out his Super Bowl performance, it was epic.
5+ Instruments, you better double that then double that again he could play 20 by the age of 10.
Truthfully, @@talonlan this isn't an incorrect statement. I love Prince and his talent is unmatched. But the instrument count is basically anything stringed, anything keyed, anything drummed. He didn't play brass or woodwind. It's variations on guitar, piano and drums.
Which is entirely enough!
He's a maestro on all at various eras of his career. So that's more than anyone else can boast.
@@thesolitaryadventurer Actually he played Saxophone throughout high school. He also played the harp on several of his recordings. His engineer has a story of how they hired a harpist for a piece and P didn't like what she played. He told her to leave the harp and she would be paid for her time. Sat at the harp, strummed in a couple of times to hear the notes, and proceeded to play it himself.
I love this performance so much! Prince what humility and class act!
Sebs, you have to do a Michael Jackson reaction video. I recommend Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Man In The Mirror Grammy Performance, Man In The Mirror Moonwalker performance, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, PYT, Wanna Be Start’n Something, Billie Jean, Motown 25 performance, Say Say Say, Thriller, and Come Together to name a few. Michael is better than Prince.
Yes he was the greatest. EVERYBODY should have known about him sooner before he was gone.
I saw him live in 1985.
I almost saw him live again in 1999 but I could not reschedule my final exams for grad school.
And this was the second encore of the night after his 2 hour concert performance! He always gave 100 % to his fans.
You should react to a FULL concert performance. The Purple Rain Syracuse is classic, but I personally LOVE his Glamour Slam 1992 concert. Both are on You Tube. 😊
honestly, tears in my eyes every time I watch videos of him live knowing I'll never get to see one of those concerts again .. he was a one off
Every musical note ever thought of, written, played and performed packed into One person! Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson❤
If you're talking about what the twins are wearing on their shoes, they're wheels. I've got the full Blu-Ray of this gig and there are moments where they are just skating around the stage on their heels
WOW! And Hollywood swingin'! I hadn't seen this performance. Thank you!!!🎉 I thought he might break into Bootsy next😅
He was an incredible musician…he left us far too soon like so many💔😢
I absolutely love watching your channel Sebs.😊
These forum shows were legendary. This is probably the fifth ecore. He played 25 nights a row. I was at two of these concerts, some of the most memorable nights of my life.
Prince didn't just sing a song, he gave a SHOW every time ❤
I just emailed you in response to you letting me know you couldn’t find my precious recommendation (because the Montreux shows were taken down) with some suggestions (I went overboard) and saw that you had this one up!!! I’m so happy you did this one. So much fun. Prince did the best transitions from one song to the next. There were often no breaks to music during his concerts. If I remember correctly, this was the 3rd encore and he came back out for another song. Yes, he was still “emceeing” from under the stage haha! I saw that some have recommended America. I almost added that to the list I just emailed to you but was trying not to get too greedy. It is great though! Plus, you get to see him on drums! 💜💜💜
Hey JJ!
@@mindoknows8924 Hey! How are you?
I was fortunate to have grown up on Prince !!! So I had many years to enjoy him but I am still mad and so sad that he is gone !!!
He had finished the concert and this was his encore. He could play for hours loving every moment of it. The musicians he hired were the best, his band was the best.
Thank you for this Prince is my favorite artist ever I had the blessed privaledge of seeing him live 21 times in my life I miss him I love him and thank you for this I cried and jammed all the way through it
Awesome entertainer and band and singers and dancers!!! Love everything about Prince and his music. The things on the Twinz feet are roller skates 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I got to see prince in Kcmo years ago. Still one of the best concerts I’ve seen. I also saw Elvis back in the day and Paul McCartney. So prince is up there.
I seen him 2 times in Little Rock arkansas he was a genius of all time miss you brother 😢
He always loved getting the crowd involved. Like he said "Ain't nothing like a purple party "!! Most talented artist in the last 4 decades!! 😭💔💜
Its just mind blowing how amazing this dude was
Prince was the Bruce Lee of rock and roll he played the guitar so creatively he was Tony Hawk on the guitar or like a BMX acrobat biker it was just phenomenal and with ease and he always showed respect to rock and roll and funk when covering other people's music he was like yeah I'm one of them.
I also must add he and Allen Iverson share the same birthday so to have those b-ball skills just explains more 💥
He was rehearsed to perfection. So were The Revolution. Nothing less than perfection. I believe he is wearing "furry boots" which were popular in the disco days. ❤ 🔥💜
The song was called Hollywood's Swinging, but this performance was at the Inglewood Forum in L.A., THE concert venue in L.A. before the Staples Center and L.A. Live were built.
Prince is a master musician ..do you guys know how much practices it takes to get that good I love him
You need to react to Prince Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to George Harris. Prince was also inducted that year, but the solo he did during the tribute stole the show. It was a "revenge" solo for not being on Rolling Stones' Top Hundred Guitarist. The Song was While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but Princes's guitar isn't gently weeping it is wailing to the four corners in the best "Prince" way. Walks in halfway through the songs, plays, falls into the crowd, finishes, throws his guitar and struts off stage.
Mr. PRN is Music Perfection❤
Le public dans la salle était au niveau de sont talents si tu remarque tout le monde bouge et chante c'est un échange réciproque
I always thought about Prince as a Mozart of our time!
This concert was IN Inglewood which is why the reference. 🔥
The things on the twins shoes are Heelies. They would skate around on the stage.
You should check out his song, The Question of You. The song and his guitar solos are beyond great☮️💜
Hey Seb - I'm just now seeing your reaction to this performance I suggested/requested. I think my RUclips algorithm moved you out of my video recommendations. I'm gonna make it a point to watch you more regularly. I enjoyed watching you react, enjoy, and appreciate this great Prince performance. I'll donate and make another Prince video request soon. If you want to dive deeper into Prince in the meantime, I recommend what I think is his best album Sign o' the Times. The 2020 deluxe reissue includes 10 vinyl records with rare, unreleased gems - including him performing live in Utrecht, Netherlands in 2010. FYI - This album was nominated for the Grammy's Album of the Year but he lost to Michael Jackson's Bad. I love both Prince and Michael, but Prince was definitely snubbed that year. So, it's not just Beyonce that has gotten snubbed. As I said, I so enjoy your reaction videos. Will make it a point to watch more regularly. Peace brother.
All self taught...my man ❤
I still cry at never being able to hear new music. As he was always on to something else;)
Saw him live at First Ave in MPLS back in the 80s.
Love watching these guys discovering Prince. Man, you missed a comet pass. No one had it all like him.
It’s is Hollywood swinging but he changed it to iglewood as that’s where the arena is!
The Master of 🎶 music💜
Fantastic Voyage is by the group Lakeside.
Greatest musician EVER!
His very first album he played every instrument in the studio and had to hire a band to go on tour.
The way he directed the whole band on stage live. There will not be another like him. He was something else. You should check out the Rock and Roll hall of fame induction where he come on and owned it. While my guitar gently weeps.
Hollywood Swinging.. First thing I thought of was GTA lol!
21 days at the Forum, Music in Americatour.... He promised that no 2 shows were going to be alike, with special guests. He kept his word, i saw 15 of these shows. Tickets were $25.
his live shows would keep you pumped up for days. the high lasted so long...he ALWAYS delivered. He was the best performer ever. You really get him and it's cool to see your reactions. Wish you could have seen him live
He could play everything. He was a one man show at the end, recording all the instruments himself and putting it all together in his studio
He was in Inglewood, Ca. And that instrument...he invented it💙
Prince was an amazing person 💜 RIP 💔
