Even celebrities lose their shit when this man performs, He is truly the G.O.A.T.! We truly lost a special person the day God called him home. I greatly miss him and what he gave this world but am thankful we still have his music to listen to and videos such as this to watch 💜💜💜
If you asked maya what the best night of her life was… this would have to be up there. She is like the biggest prince fan. Has a prince cover band. Love her
LOL I completely agree. I read somewhere that she said she "practically shit herself" when she was told he would be performing that night. She said "he was so real and down to earth" but that also "he had enourmous energy that was arousing and profoundly intimidating" lol... Her account of the night was hilarious. But you can totally tell she was indeed *living her best life* on that night, and she will always remember it.
I was at the San Jose, CA Musicology Tour concert. I kid you not….he opened with “Let’s Go Crazy” and stood in front of a big round spot light so all you could see was his silhouette….while he said, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life”…. It was exactly how he did it in the movie Purple Rain. That….was one of the coolest moments I’ve ever experienced. My ex-girlfriend bought us tickets to that show as a Birthday present to me. Thank you Ruby. I’ll always have a place in my heart for you…for that.
Prince dominated the world than. I saw him live. This was the after party of the SNL season and a party was at Jimmy Fallon's apartment in NYC. Anybody could get up on the stage and play. Fallon stated he was buzzed when someone whispered in his ear that Prince was there in the kitchen. He got on the mike and dared Prince to come up and play. He said the crowd separated and Prince did not walk up but glided up. Prince told Fallon since you dared me your singing backup.
For someone who doesn´t have a clue as to who all those dressed-up people around P and his band members are, this is kinda fun to watch :) Still miss the man of course.
Fallon played the video shot by professional cameras and sound, but apparently Prince’s estate handlers have gotten removed from everywhere. Really sucks because it was amazing. This video sounds like garbage in comparison.
All my feelings are with the band who woke up that day not knowing they were going to play with Prince. That surreal feeling is not lost in this at all.
@@Yourmothalicka it wasnt. That's why the crowd gave it back. It was a previous band members guitar since he was a kid and he was pissed he gave it away. I forget bands name.
When legends get together and just jam for the joy of music in a club is like among the best hidden music footage you can find. It's incredibly rare. I wish there was more of it.
One of my fave pieces of footage of all time. I have to come back to this every few months or so. Man I’d pay for 10 more mins of pure jamming. That girl who solo’d is on FIRE!!
What else has he done every single time? "Killing it"? Again what else does THE man do every time? Yep,,,,,kill it, but really really good that no one else can really do on the spot.
Minnesota and the world lost something special when Prince left us. God always gives us the great ones for a bit to let us enjoy, but is always quick to take them back from us too.
I can't believe this only has 245k views. Definitely a GEM I found here. Whoever posted this, if you were the one who recorded it you're only lucky bastard. 🤙🏽
At 4:04 the female guitar player gave Prince the look. All musicians know the look. The look is when you actually communicate between two musicians. I knew the look instantly. Basically, without saying a word she asked Prince if she could do a solo. Prince understood the look and nodded to her and that is when she stepped to the front of the stage. When musicians are mentally in sync, no words need to be spoken. That seems to also work with actors and comedians...... and angry mothers when they stare at their kids.
Prince was also a big fan of James Brown, not just his musicianship but also how he worked with his band. JB was always communicating with his band, sometimes verbally calling things out and sometimes just by looks or gestures. Prince adopted the ways so that when playing live he could get the band to change things up within a song at a moments notice the way James Brown used to do. I believe it was when he formed the New Power Generation that he began to require this from is crew.
@@th2k864 he actually did it with The Revolution as well. Members have been quoted as saying that they couldn’t take their eyes off of him for fear of missing a cue. In his older live shows he cues a lot with his hands. His bands were all great, I’d be afraid to be in his band. He was an amazing performer!
LMAO not everyone lol Maya Rudolph said it was *definitely one of the best nights of her life* to see him perform. She is a MASSIVE Prince fan. You can tell she was totally living her best life in that moment on stage with him. She was so pregnant and still livin it up lol Chris Rock also talked about this after Prince passed stating he was "blessed and honored" to be there
Yes!! Did you see the look she gave him?? Right before she took the solo, she gave him an "is it cool if I..." kind of look, and Prince was so gracious to let her take it. I loved that!!
I had the honor of seeing Prince in concert 4 times before he left us. The last time I saw him was in Detroit about a year before he passed. He opened with this arrangement of Let's Go Crazy. It was really something to behold in person.
Came here from Jimmy Fallon's story. So cool to see it myself! And it's so cool seeing Jimmy there as well! Thankyou so much for filming and sharing this with us!
I mp3'd it...and whenever it pops up on my bluetooth speaker, I smile at the memory of this afterparty. I love watching this because of all the raw, uncut energy..,,celebs, just being REAL. And there is Prince in the midst of all this fun chaos, cool as a cucumber, blowing minds...I love how cats are jumpin up on stage, trying to get out of Prince's way, so they can hook up with Chris Rock in the back. And there is Bill Murray off on the side, just chillin'.
*PRINCE WAS TOO MUCH OF A MUSICAL GENIUS FOR US TO HANDLE.* He was taken way before his time, but then again, I think he was _born_ way ahead of his time too.. so.. its an even exchange. Sad, but even. RIP dude. We will always love and miss you.
If i know the story correctly, nobody expected this to happen. Prince just showed up and gave everyone the time of their lives, even if just for one evening. Look at the faces of the people who are suddenly realizing that Prince just started playing music. oh to be a fly on the wall
Hey folks be honest who do not would like attend this party? Also shows Prince very comfortable in a free moment, Only in USA , loved it , thanks for sharing
That is so priceless!!! I love how Prince is so easy going and just having fun, and so happy to have everyone enjoying themselves. Not worried about someone making a musical mistake on his song! I noticed during the bass solo (that we couldn't see), it wasn't anything earth shattering, but Prince was tuned into the bass player supportively; grooving along with them, and also so very supportive of the girl guitarist. He seemed focused on the overall joy of the situation and the people there, and not at all focused on 'prince'. ...just having so much fun! As stated by others; what a priceless video!! I'm an older folk singer and tuba player, but Prince was just in a different league. I was always a huge fan. He was a True Shaman of music. He would always; always find a way to make it ROCK , and ROCK so hard that it would be unforgettable, as he is.
what was great about this It was an impromptu performance. He just wanted to share with everyone. It wasn't always about the pageantry. Prince knew it was a circus he was a part of. He basically wanted to make a living doing music. He did that and more. He even left us dramatically in an elevator. Don't forget his line in Let's Go Crazy. Don't let the elevator bring us down. Ironically implied or prophetic. Call it as you may. The man gave his all till the end. Rest Easy Prince.
Amazing I saw Fallon tell the story on Kelly clarkson show Today 12/4/20 but Kelly please don’t ever disrespect Prince he can be As Dramatic as he wants to be
Now looking back I wonder how much physical pain he was in. I am a chronic pain with massive spinal cord injuries. I don’t have the added stress to have to be “on” when all I want to do is crawl in my bed. RIP 🪦
Everyone has their struggles we don't see, all we can do is respect each other. Everyone remembers the period where everyone made fun of Prince over the name thing or the Radiohead cover, meanwhile he was killing himself to entertain fans.
You know you are at a party full of famous people when the guitar prince throws in the crowd actually makes it back to the stage lol
Whoever recorded this and shared it with the world.... THANK YOU. You the real MVP.
Tim Kaserinski, ex SNL cast mate shot this.
@@microtasker the hero we need
I totally agree. Thank you💜
Yes
@@microtasker Sweetchuck from Police Academy and SNL alum Tim Kazurinsky
That's when you realize that you are a real entertainer, when you entertain the entertainers.
Playing without his own guitar, own presets, own pedels, own mic settings, rare Prince, Epic
Even celebrities lose their shit when this man performs, He is truly the G.O.A.T.! We truly lost a special person the day God called him home. I greatly miss him and what he gave this world but am thankful we still have his music to listen to and videos such as this to watch 💜💜💜
❤❤❤
Maya living her best life.
maya is the daughter of minnie ripperton.
And prince jammin into his next
@@jerrymariano402 u would never know she a black girl.Oops forgot ur what ur father is. Minnie RIP😭😭😭
Prince was just cooler. Than anybody. Ever. Nuf said.
Whoever recorded this did a public service for music fans the world over!
Hard to believe that it’s even better at a slower tempo. Can’t get enough of this
So, this is what heaven looks like...
Maya Rudolph's exact thought!
Amen and Hallelujah!!!!
Exactly 💯
Not even close
Maya was living her absolute BEST LIFE in these moment... and I'm her for it!
If you asked maya what the best night of her life was… this would have to be up there. She is like the biggest prince fan. Has a prince cover band. Love her
LOL I completely agree. I read somewhere that she said she "practically shit herself" when she was told he would be performing that night.

Who's the tall girl next to Maya?
@@lachmack8967Este Haim
Yep typical self obsessed celebrity that can’t even just be in the audience when a legend is performing.
He was literally the COOLEST human being that ever walked the Earth.
I was at the San Jose, CA Musicology Tour concert. I kid you not….he opened with “Let’s Go Crazy” and stood in front of a big round spot light so all you could see was his silhouette….while he said, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life”….
It was exactly how he did it in the movie Purple Rain.
That….was one of the coolest moments I’ve ever experienced.
My ex-girlfriend bought us tickets to that show as a Birthday present to me. Thank you Ruby. I’ll always have a place in my heart for you…for that.
This Is Prince Party, SNL was just Lucky to be there!!
The Best comment! Love ya
Being a celebrity: sure the money’s great, but it’s about THESE moments that make that life legendary. Jealous

Buzzed? No way the guy is an angel.
Jimmy was so hammered! lmao
Maya losing her mind is everything, love her!
Thank God someone recorded this.
To be able to see all of the celebrities and industry people in awe of Prince and his performance is EPIC!
For someone who doesn´t have a clue as to who all those dressed-up people around P and his band members are, this is kinda fun to watch :) Still miss the man of course.
I just saw Fallon tell the story. Thank God for the video.
Fallon played the video shot by professional cameras and sound, but apparently Prince’s estate handlers have gotten removed from everywhere. Really sucks because it was amazing. This video sounds like garbage in comparison.
I just the Fallon interview with Dave C.... This popped in my feed... AWSOME!!!!!!!!
Me too
Same.
Me too I saw the Jimmy Fallon and Dave Chappelle talking about this , CZcams immediately recommends the video
I'm not crying, you're crying. I just found this and it made me miss him more. 😭
Fun fact, Maya is a huge Prince fan and is in a Prince cover band!
She was also in The Rentals, with former WEEZER bass player Matt Sharp.
Yep, plus her parents were with Warner Brothers, as was Prince and he was friends with Mayas mom Minnie Ripperton.
All my feelings are with the band who woke up that day not knowing they were going to play with Prince. That surreal feeling is not lost in this at all.
Emma Stone just rocking the tambourine in the back.
Prince was simply giving and creating joy. He was mesmerizing everybody with his raw,pure and amazing talent.
He IS music.
Prince is a Rock n Roll God amongst men. Had the honor to see him at Coachella...INSANITY.
Wow! nice gig that one.
Coachella????
WTF....who says "yo, I wrote 'Let's Go Crazy' in the early 80s and now here's a way to make it sound even MORE awesome"?! RIP Prince
Best ever. Maya is my favorite. She was really pregnant but so excited. Once in a lifetime. Rip Prince. None better.
Sorry who is she?
Her mother is Minnie Riperton and she's was on SNL . Maya Rudolph is who she is.
@@MrIgorek13 lol. I hear your comedic sarcasm 😂
@@mileqjameel8166 to be honest I truly don't know. I am from Russia.
Whos the blond cavebih with her?
When Prince hands you a guitar, you just give it back, because there is no way the guitar will sound the same when you try to play it!
Unless you're Adam Jones.
Prince gives his guitar away, and the audience respects him so much, they make sure he gets it back
I’m not sure it was his
@@Yourmothalicka it wasnt. That's why the crowd gave it back. It was a previous band members guitar since he was a kid and he was pissed he gave it away. I forget bands name.
Prince probably would have gave the kid a better one.
Lol nope, jimmy was rushing to get it back. Hahaha look at that dude in the background lol he was like…. “Did he just give that away?!?!??!?!”
Donna Grantis taking over lead at the end and getting props from the Purple One was my favorite moment of this jam.
i was wondering who that was thanks
I felt like people failed to see how Prince could have totally killed that solo... but he knew talent and graciously gave her the stage. ❤❤❤
Solid and pure class
When legends get together and just jam for the joy of music in a club is like among the best hidden music footage you can find. It's incredibly rare. I wish there was more of it.
Prince's guitar surfed the crowd !!
Right HIS GUITAR????????
@@jennifermckillop4109 I'm with You.. I'm pretty sure it wasn't His guitar!! Lol!
Love The Purple One 💜💜💜
prince killed it ... all hollywood/top musicians legends were there obeying his purple majesty
As they should
💯👍
Jimmy Fallon smashed is hysterical. I'm from MN, saw him pop on stage with Lenny Kravitz in 1998, he is the GOAT
One of my fave pieces of footage of all time. I have to come back to this every few months or so. Man I’d pay for 10 more mins of pure jamming. That girl who solo’d is on FIRE!!
Donna Grantis - P knew talent when he saw it!
Thank you for reposting this. Whoever keeps deleting it, needs to get a beat down!
It's probably Jimmy Fallon. He is absolutely wasted here! :D
It’s Prince’s estate being greedy.
@@slimpickering1699 well i mean Prince himself never liked other people do his music and stuff
Mia Rudolph is pure joy to watch too!
That slowed down version of Let’s go crazy was nuts!
Maya Rudolph was having the time of her life😄
Who wouldn't, if prince was there
"fucking killed it" would be an understatement
What else has he done every single time? "Killing it"? Again what else does THE man do every time? Yep,,,,,kill it, but really really good that no one else can really do on the spot.
Martin short was amazed and starstruck and thanking his lucky stars all at the same time!!!
I love him. Hes so funny =)

Not many viewers because there are other recordings of this event at a better angle and of better quality.
Maya was super enjoying herself. Makes me smile.
Maya Rudolph is rocking out toPrince. Love her. Prince one of a kind. I miss him.
Makes me so very very sad that we will never ever get to see him again😔
I just got to live six minutes of an A-lister’s life. Thanks CZcams.
PRINCE THE BEST !!! OF FUNK ROCK
Fallon is on another planet! He went all in on the sauce that night haha
God I love Maya Rudolph. What a magnificent human being. So gorgeous

Interesting to see all these stars/celebrities starstruck by Prince - and as well they should be! #Legend
Maya living her best life
Bill Murray just bopping in the background 😂
In any other room, Bill Murray is the coolest guy there. He was probably enjoying the break!
Maya Rudolph in her element makes this so much extra cooler!!! I can almost feel her excitement through the screen. 💜
Too bad everyone there was too piss drunk to remember it... such an iconic moment!!!
except Jimmy Fallon he told this story of this performance on his show i think the day or the day after P passed away
@@tkmairidith3345 I came to say this😁💜

Martin Short Waaaaayysted & Fāded is my mood in 2020
It looked like he was trying to mouth the words, but was having a difficult time.
Prince was my generation's Jimmy Hendrix 🤘🏽
I miss him! Never got to see him play live.... one of the regrets of my life!
Same

I STILL get excited seeing these clips even though he's no longer with us cuz the bar that he set was BEYOND GREATNESS. Divine showmanship.
I know, I know!!!! Same here, I get insanely excited ..... there is nobody dead or alive that can bring it like PRINCE.....nobody......
Prince truly was a HELLA GUITAR PLAYER!🎶🎸👍
Amazing! Also I love that I spy Martin Short on the side ❤

Goddamn why did he have to leave us. R.I.P
Very sad day
They chose to end him. R.I.P.
Because he didn’t have brakes
Someone murdered him. He wasn't ready to go. Not by FAR!!
because it would never have been good to watch him become an old man.
Our Minnesota legend!
Minnesota has a lot: Prince, Dylan, Husker Du, The Replacements....must be the long winters. God bless you all!
