I knew I wasn’t the only one saying that. He made that guitar show emotions along with him. Made his cloud guitar cry. Also just hearing the crowd sing along just has you feeling like you’re in heaven. Long Live The Purple One💜💜💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sempre amei está versão. Por anos foi bloqueada para assistir. Sei lá...me dá arrepios pelos agudos da guitarra.Acredito que ele esta completamente em transe. literalmente...
I cry every time. The bend at 3:12 crosses universes and galaxies to find and break God's heart. I have tried to watch other renditions of this song but to me this is the most touching and intense. ❤️
Prince is right up there with Jimi Hendrix , Santana, David Gilmour , Joe Satriani, Steve Vai & whosoever you may want to add to the list of Guitar virtuoso phenomenal legends... No Argument... HANDS DOWN! #Prince will live on Forever !!! 💜💜💜
@@JCraig1981 Never heard of Gary Moore so I checked him out, hes killer on that guitar but hes got nothing on Prince! Might one day reach Prince's level.
@@jayandgem True, music is not a sport. Howbeit, the thing I love most in this world is guitar music and Prince is the reason why. I like a lot of different kinds of music rock, country, pop, folk, metal, classical, almost any kind of good music. I was raised on southern rock and old-style country ex. Conway Twitty (my Mother's absolute favorite). It was ok but it never spoke to me. Then when I was about 14 I saw Prince on T.V. singing, dancing, having just a really good time while he was playing his guitar like nobody I'd ever heard before or since he blew me away and I've been just addicted to the heart and soul he put in his playing ever since. Regrettably I never got the chance to see him live. RUclips gives me a taste of what that would have been like. Every time I think I know just how truly gifted he was another video drops of him in concert and I'm blown away again. I've heard most of his songs on cds but that is just a tease compared to his live performances, for me all other music just pales in comparison. In his live performances, its like all restraints are removed and he just shreds and his guitar comes alive and I'm stunned that a guitar can even do what he makes it do seemingly so effortlessly. Then there are those farcical lists that come out usually appraised by touted doyens that seem to have never heard this man in his element proclaiming this guitarist was best or is best as the case may be, ranking this authentic genius so low he may as well be absent from the list. That travesty makes me want to promulgate the perfect artistry that is Prince on guitar at every opportunity! Prince should have his own category, no one has ever bestowed their gifts to the world as Prince did, and that should be revered and cherished. Did you know that despite his prodigious catalog of music that he wrote himself, despite the fact that it is estimated that he has written more songs than the Beatles, great songs, hit songs he is not in the Songwriters Hall of Fame? Its absurd!
I was privileged to have seen him in 1985 the PURPLE RAIN TOUR!!! I feel so very lucky and will cherish that I did see this naturally super talented human!!!
I love that the sound has got that rough round the edges live feel, you can hear it bouncing round the auditorium. Been listening to this particular version for over 30 years and I never get tired of it. Oooooh that guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Ones who saw Him Live know what I’m talking about when I say we are blessed to be in the presence of Greatness He is and Always will be The Best 💜🙌🏻👏🏻 I miss Him , I truly do 😢😭
This solo has to be the greatest Purple Rain version I've ever heard. It sounds like Prince started a wormhole in our galaxy to travel through with anger & sadness right to another side in the universe. So much raw emotions its breathtakingly awesome! 💜💜💜🌌🌌🌌💜💜💜
There are so many great guitarist, but the way prince played guitar nobody played it like him. This is the only musician who can play 20 instruments by himeself, When i speak about guitar, he can also play bass and rythym very well too. He is a true underated genius, what a phenomenan, he was very very special with super exceptional talent.
LmarCooLman. Dortmund, 1964... the city and year i was born... Dortmund, 1988 the city and year the BEST artist EVER performed the MOST BEAUTYFUL SONG EVER... in my Hometown... (though i live in Holland...) I thank God i lived in the same time Prince did...
It always amazes me the people who could thumbs down something like this. I could watch someone perform a song of theirs and even if I didn’t care for their music or the particular song, if they did it well, sounded like they should and were for sure playing it live, how could I thumbs down that? And if it was someone I didn’t care for their music, I probably wouldn’t click to watch it. But it just seems crazy to thumbs down a performance like this. 🙄
This man was the "real deal". That song and watching him so passionately involved in it playing, will always bring me to tears!Rest Gently Prince Rogers, you are a great loss and dearly missed!!!
Good Gracious,Beautiful ! Prince's emotions he put in his songs, singing and playing his guitar was fantastic, he made his guitar sound like it had a personality of its own.
To me this is his best Purple Rain solo. Not as epic as his Syracuse one, but just that little bit better and sweeter as a solo, especially the opening phrases. Absolutely no comparison whatsoever with any other guitarist. Name anyone: May, Clapton etc ... anyone, and they are nowhere near this incredible man. The connection between Prince's heart and his instrument was like a firehose on full blast. Everyone else is like a drinking straw.
I couldn't agree more. The connection was so powerful, you can hear the guitar talking TO HIM at the end of his Tokyo Purple Rain Show. It was comforting him, promising him that everything's going to be okay, and even called him "Baby" . Especially 4:07 -4:10 . Listen before you judge. ruclips.net/video/Nc5gbH0Xig4/видео.html .
I'd put this one in my Top 10. I don't know if you've heard the one that is my personal No 1 yet, I dedicated an entire video to it. Maybe it'll change your mind.
His best purple rain solo is the Milan 2010 version but this one as a whole and the concert is from another world. Lovesexy Dortmund 88 was life changing
Ja ich habe das Konzert im Frankfurter Waldstadion und beide in Dortmund live gesehen. Absolut geil, die ganze Show von Light, Bühne und Songauswahl ein unvergessliches Erlebnis 👍😎
Prince ...You live forever in my heart...your talent is from another galaxy...your music makes my life a better experience....thank you seems insufficient as an expression of my deep gratitude for your shared gift
It's otherworldly, hard to explain but it feels like an undiscovered part of my brain had woken up and to be triggered to feel the feel that was needed for this masterpiece.
The only guy who can wear a blouse, high heels, makeup, and still take your woman. Amazing!

LOL you not kidding about that. And your comment made me smile. Thank U
and will always stay with us
So true lol... love your comment
I dont care about him taking my wife. Take me!
This version is mind-blowing ❤
Such a fucking awesome version. A metal head like me is getting goosebumps all around! What a LEGEND!
lol Prince should've joined prince after vinnie vincent was fired
The talent ... the skill. The passion ... the compassion... the endurance .. the power... he has it all he really does .
And your daughter and your mama too...sorry daddy 🙋🏾♀️🎶🎵🎹
Ok
He was a entertainer it’s his job to
The best purple Rain performance. His facial facial expressions while he's playing the guitar is just unreal
I knew I wasn’t the only one saying that. He made that guitar show emotions along with him. Made his cloud guitar cry. Also just hearing the crowd sing along just has you feeling like you’re in heaven. Long Live The Purple One💜💜💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Perfectly said. 😘

Live in Siracuse completely blows this version out of the water.
@@IvoMaropoExactly 13 minutes making that cloud sing💜🙏🏽🥰
probably my favorite live version of a song, ever, this particular one. Prince was unique.
The guitar solo still gives me goosebumps. So much emotion. 💜
Always! 💜💜💜
I agree
Yes makes me cry 😭
Absolutely, my sentiments exactly!!
I cry every time. The bend at 3:12 crosses universes and galaxies to find and break God's heart. I have tried to watch other renditions of this song but to me this is the most touching and intense. ❤️
He always hits the note you want to hear. The GOAT blues guitar player.
You don't see talent like this these days.
Thank god !
So true
His guitar literally screamed @3:11. So emotional solo!
Was there ever anyone on this planet that could could make a guitar do that, only Prince!
Prince is right up there with Jimi Hendrix , Santana, David Gilmour , Joe Satriani, Steve Vai & whosoever you may want to add to the list of Guitar virtuoso phenomenal legends... No Argument... HANDS DOWN! #Prince will live on Forever !!! 💜💜💜

0:46 One voice, one heart, one soul singing Purple Rain.
My God, he was beautiful!
I was privileged to have seen him in 1985 the
PURPLE RAIN TOUR!!!
I feel so very lucky and will cherish that I did see this naturally super talented human!!!
He looks and sounds BEAUTIFUL
I am so jealous of each and every person in that audience who watched this genius perform this song, I hope it lives with you forever!
By far my fav Purple Rain performance.
Uncompromised truly gifted musical genius. God gave him this phenomenal musical talent. Thank you Prince for sharing it with the world.
immaculate atmosphere, an artist with so much talent gone too soon 💜
I love that the sound has got that rough round the edges live feel, you can hear it bouncing round the auditorium. Been listening to this particular version for over 30 years and I never get tired of it. Oooooh that guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prince, hands down the best Solo guitar player, Incredible.
Speechless. Literally. Like what was that? Not even of this realm! Spirit flowing through him!
Prince could go on stage with any of the so called "greatest guitarists" and blow them off the stage..no one came close to him.No one.
3:21 the greatest vibration to emanate from the earth
What a God given talent this man had. It hurts to think he's deceased.😥
The Ones who saw Him Live know what I’m talking about when I say we are blessed to be in the presence of Greatness
He is and Always will be The Best 💜🙌🏻👏🏻
I miss Him , I truly do 😢😭
This solo has to be the greatest Purple Rain version I've ever heard. It sounds like Prince started a wormhole in our galaxy to travel through with anger & sadness right to another side in the universe. So much raw emotions its breathtakingly awesome! 💜💜💜🌌🌌🌌💜💜💜
It is epic...but also search for Purple Rain Milan 2010...different and brilliant
It is brilliant...but also check out Purple Rain Milan 2010....different and brilliant
That man was a work of art inside and out! Miss you my sweet PRINCE !🥰❤️😭😘
His guitar is a vibration of its own.
The best perfomance of this song.

Super concordo!
That vibrato starting at about 3:10 is signature prince

Amazing, he always gave everything as if it was his last performance.
This whole Lovesexy live show I’ve watched 1000s times. All time favourite, legendary ❤
Make 'em cry, Prince. Make 'em cry....
Yesss👍
Absolutely Killer Solo
Truly an ARTIST of all time.
the best purple rain. 10 words and 4 mins guitaring ...
This song means more than you know...
Yeah it is
One of the Greatest Ballads of all times... hits deep every single time you listen to it being belted out by Prince... you feel it...completely...
The most powerful song ever written. Rip Prince 🙏☔️

@@RebelThoughts82 🤔. Interesting thought. Wow, I would sure hope not, but hey, ya never know. 😉
It's amazing masterpiece. Watch Adam leviens tribute.
They're just trolls
One of best performances of all time !
One of the GOAT !
This man was the "real deal". That song and watching him so passionately involved in it playing, will always bring me to tears!Rest Gently Prince Rogers, you are a great loss and dearly missed!!!
To be alive again.....no Covid.....united as one by rock n roll.
That solo... goosebumps!... power, pain... UAU! I miss him...
Prince, miss ya' and Love ya'!! Definitely "Wish You Heaven." Your legacy will Live on!!
My favorite version of this song hands down. He wasn’t performing it. He was living and breathing it
Good Gracious,Beautiful ! Prince's emotions he put in his songs, singing and playing his guitar was fantastic, he made his guitar sound like it had a personality of its own.
Amazing live version from Germany. I love how they make it a soccer chant!
Amazing song! Amazing performance! Amazing musician! Cheers from Brazil!
Amazing Man only Prince 💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥

Amazing performance!!!
The movie Purple Rain won the Academy award for best musical in a movie .
Prince was in it, as well . Prince Roger Nelson is his full name
One of the best versions 💜💜💜

YES! You only deserve the recognition you deserve and baby that is it. Your audience is carrying the the chorus. Rest in peace Prince. I love you!!!!
Prince is a true artist.....one of the few in the last 30 years.
And is an amazing guitarist too.
Dortmund 88. The best version of the song ever
Ja ich habe das Konzert im Frankfurter Waldstadion und beide in Dortmund live gesehen. Absolut geil, die ganze Show von Light, Bühne und Songauswahl ein unvergessliches Erlebnis 👍😎
Wer das fühlt ,......auch Heute....muss das Herz an der rechten Stelle haben😊
Der kleine Mann ganz ganz groß !!!!!!
Boa, Gratulation
So ein. Konzert, hätte ich auch gerne erlebt...
Auch von Michael Jackson
Hamburg 1988
A rock god ! The one and only Prince
Prince ...You live forever in my heart...your talent is from another galaxy...your music makes my life a better experience....thank you seems insufficient as an expression of my deep gratitude for your shared gift
He looks his most handsome in this version.
The flowing hair,the meerizing eyes,the earing fits well hes like a beautifu yet Handsome
I've got CHILLS !
Best live performance of this song!
Have you seen Milan 2010?
No, the one from 1985 in....New York I think is the best live version. And imo, his best guitar playing ever
Each reprise of his Purple Rain Live is a Gem.. with such intriguing modifications of the signature solo and playing... 💜💫
@@peternealbrown dortmund and milan 👍 amazing
Saw him on this tour... Worcester,Ma.
@ALEXANDRU DANIEL VIDICAN I wish he were too!
