My guitar watches this when I’m not home
I'm sure it enjoys it very much. That's one smart guitar.
🤣🤣🤣
Love that comment. God bless your guitar. 💛💛💛
Mine too!
I have a tele that same color
Prince with the greatest "hold my beer" moment in rock history.
And every person on stage said do it!
Look up interviews of the other dudes talking about when It happened. Said he didn’t show up for the rehearsals or anything Or came late after they were done.
They gladly held his beer Indeed!! Masterful!!!
@@sunjester8254 a master does what he wants. He doesn't follow his subjects, they follow him.
@@dkb3619 Infuckingdeed...
Prince was looking over at Tom for affirmation! Tom was in awe. I hope they’re jamming like this in heaven.
My earlier comment has been scrubbed because I spoke the truth. Prince was awesome in this, but his attitude was so disrespectful when he "guitar dropped" and walked offstage as if saying..."I am better than all of you." He was so insecure that he couldn't be humble enough around other musicians who have clearly honored and respected him. What a loser...sad, sad, man.
@@jerseyjoe82364Actually it was the opposite. In the rehearsal they kinda underestimated and shunned Prince. He left the rehearsal early. You can tell Prince is very quiet and is perceived as mysterious by most.
Prince showed them what time it was on that stage. That's why he threw the guitar in the air. He wasn't even using his custom symbol guitar.
It wasn't arrogance but excellence.
@@jerseyjoe82364 - Olivia Harrison tried to have Prince removed from the tribute to George. The producer pushed back and made Tom Petty the peace keeper. Of course Prince was a bit uncomfortable which is why he kept looking at Tom for reassurance but he was not disrespectful. When Prince passed away Tom addressed the performance on his radio show and talked about how gracious and humble Prince was through the entire experience. He made the performance epic. Your comment has no merit and makes you seem bigoted.
I miss Prince and Tom, such Greats
@@VVV-kk5yb This never gets old to me. He had to show what he was made of.
And none of them will ever forget the night they performed with Prince.
More like performing with Tom petty you mean.
@@TheFord1932 Naw he meant what he said. Wtf is your problem 😕
Calm down bro,petty better.
@@TheFord1932Relax, Francis! Prince = 🐐
Jeff Lynn has entered the building!
This was Prince’s response to being snubbed by Rolling Stone Magazine’s top 100 guitarists. He certainly proved his point here. And the strutting off stage at the end. Priceless.
Exactly because rolling stone was in attendance that night. That strut at end was directed at them. "Take that"💪🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Prince didn’t do this in rehearsal. That’s why he kept looking at Petty to see if it was okay to keep going. Petty was happy to oblige and keep singing the chorus while Prince had his moment.
@@KarenRobin2072 exactly! Not sure if petty knew before or not, but what are you going to do? That’s PRINCE!
Like a BOSS! top 100 of course more like top 25
Didn't know he was snubbed. Criminal.
Who is here in 2024 watching Prince bring this amazing song home?!?
Amazing. Forgot he was human for those 3 minutes. Love him, miss him. 💜
Will never tire of any of these rockers! Going to see Jeff Lynne in October..ELO❤
@@lovelikelou7819 same …there will never be another like him💜
@@Nancnurs88 Brilliant ! That’s going to be ace! I’m not jealous, nope…😉😁
I watch this weekly! That smile he gives when his guitar “weeps”… ugh
How can anyone not be amazed by the sight of Prince rearranging the universe’s molecular structure like it’s nothing?
Simple they just have to have a high enough IQ to appreciate how art is a reflection of the culture at the moment to be entertained by it but if there character is empathetic and there ability to relate a feel the human condition, well then they also know prince was trying to push pull or drag us into the future but with style and grace just to show off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What, with a few fancy licks? Wtf is everyone so impressed? I came here expecting to be blown away. Video ended and I was still waiting.
@@RS-zp6hbSAME DUDE like i dont see whats so special about this solo???
I'm one who is amazed.
@@blu48 ay man, go listen to the solo to comfortably numb -david gilmour live in pompeii and let me know what you think
I will never think of this song again without thinking of Prince
Me too
Facts 💯
AMEN
You should.
Who's seen this an ungodly amount of times over the years, and STILL gets the chills when Prince strolls out to conjure up spirits?
Yep, every time this pops onto my feed I HAVE to watch it
Me.
He’s really lost a lot of weight since this performance.
absolutely
every time i watch it like i’ve never seen it before
And HE strolls off stage KOOL as fuck!!!!!!!
Prince: "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it"
At Prince's concerts he would always say "Ya'll ain't ready for me" he was so right. No one was ready for that solo!!
I hear ya back to the future 😅. Prince was phenomenal. If you've never heard it, listen to the riff at the end of "Why you want to treat me so bad". It's intoxicating.
A man of color rocks it effectively and effortlessly in a “rock” genre, but without the rhythm and blues the whole rock n roll genre would not exist
Marty Mcfly. I love you
🤣🤣🤣right love the back to the future reference good one
So many critics remember Hendrix, Jeff Back, Ed Van Halen, Clapton...... But completly forget about Prince......... It is amazing to see the faces of Tom Petty, Windwood and Harrison looking astonished for Prince..... This moment was magical.......... Prince is from other planet!!!!!
Hey, don't forget two musical legends of the sixties, The great Janice Joplin and Jim Morrison. They too died too young. When they took the stage they owned the stage!
Liked all the musicians .Petty didn't do much for me. But, the others blew. me away
Prince and freddy mercury are the hidden champions! So much talent, so sensible, so incredible perfect! Even if I do not like queen at all, I need to shout out a big tribute to freddy mercury anyway.
@@user-zq5rv5pw9u , Queen is an awsome band my friend......... Brian May is one of the biggest guitar composers we´ve ever saw....... And I agree with you...... Freddie is from another planet, as Prince is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@rod9545 Love their music, howeer If they had any brains they would both still be alive. Shame.
George Harrison s son looks EXACTLY like his daddy! He was smiling down on him that day!!!!❤❤
George can't say that's not his boy.LOL
For sure of that. The angel George from heaven was watching angel son on the mighty stage, playing magnificently like his great dad.
I love how Prince is hidden in the dark before his solo; like he is the secret weapon to make this song into a banger
I peeped that too. Just lurking in the shadows like a secret boss 😂
Crazy that it would have still been a great cover, then Prince emerges from the shadows like a purple Batman and takes it to the moon
Just saw this today for the first time. Wow. I'm shook.
Dude just comes out three and a half minutes in like "Check this shit out, motherfuckers".
Yeah imagine being the poor man who played lead in the meantime!!!!! Lol #overshadowed
Everyone else's guitar gently weeped, while Prince's aggressively sobbed
czcams.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/video.html
Underrated comment
@@averyw1497 not really tbh.
This comment actually irritates me cause sobbing is a lot less than weeping.
Princes guitar was wailing
What a stupid comment. If you can do better than show it.
@@josephpayne4591 calm down
Prince was one of if not THE greatest guitar player of all time. What a beast!!
guitar player for starters
Seriously was the best display of guitar playing I have ever seen. There's a reason why Clapton when asked what it's like being the greatest guitarist of all time responded with "idk ask prince."
finally one like Jimi
He can't stay with this blind man.
czcams.com/video/gIkOaTVu8uM/video.html
The best.
Spread some love to the bloke who was just playing the tambourine and the bongos the whole performance.
not thanked enough but absolutely killed it everyone rocked this performance! from the cameraman to the dude who caught the artist formally known as prince so he can get those notes out!!
Who's watching in 2024?
I Watch it over and over again😅

Dear future generations, I promise you that this is one of the greatest rock performances of ALL TIME.
Indeed. That was the peak.
do you know more performances this good? I wanna hear more

@@ykino6795 Easily Dire Straits Sultans of Swing 'alchemy live' version. Without a doubt my favourite live performance of all time.
@@ykino6795 The Who playing "A Quick One While He's Away" on The Rolling Stone's Rock and Roll Circus is the greatest live performance of a song I've ever seen. I can't see how that could possibly be topped. Look it up.
I love how Prince didn't show up to practice, stood back through half the song then suddenly took over the guitar solo, stole the show, then threw his guitar up and strutted off the stage. It was his middle finger to the rock world for always snubbing him as one of the greatest guitarists in history. They didn't snub his guitar playing after that performance which to this day is considered one of the greatest guitar performances in history!!
I heard that... pretty cool.
Watching this in 2024 makes me loudly wail. 😭 Timeless performance.
*HOW TO PRINCE:*
> Turn up late
> Dress better than everyone else
> Say Nothing
> Shred
> Be the first to leave
> Write an album when you get home and don't release it
But died
@@billtrue3017 Prince is still alive because his work transcended him and he will always be admired, enjoyed and respected in this world. And what about you and your work?
🤣🙃
@@aralsoto there is no doubt he was an amazing artist and his music will live on ,but your wrong he isnt alive he is dead .
Throw your guitar up in the air; exit: stage left.
The moment Prince's guitar rang out, this performance became part of rock history. This deed is exactly why he is called a genius. Rest in peace, Prince.
Prince was a Legend that was bypassed by the entire music industry! He was Magnificent! Magic Actually! I always said Michael Jackson was an entertainer, Prince was a Musician!!! There’s a Big Difference!!! Prince, your Revolution Continues to this day! You’re a one of a kind my Brother! Rest in Rythm and Rock forever! 🙏🏻
A very underrated guitarist! This is one of my favorite solos of all time!!
Indeed...rock and roll Hall of heaven
Wow, Prince came in like a gunslinger 🎉
Prince es un virtuoso de la guitarra 🎸🤜🤛👏👏👏👏👁️👁️👏👏👏👏 increíble
RIP Prince and Tom Petty; the music world weeps at the loss of you.
And so do our guitars.
The smiles and happiness on everyone's face as they watch Prince go off makes it so much better...
Prince’s guitar needed a cigarette after that solo
czcams.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/video.html
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣
I don’t know if should I get a cold water shower or smoke a cigarette… and I don’t even smoke!!! 😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Rolling Stone Magazine: "Prince is an average guitar player"
- Prince: "Hold my beer..."
why are all narcissists just average at what they do?
Rolling Stone has a great track record of being wrong about most things- this is maybe the best example of all time
Did they really write that? lol
Prince didn't drink alcohol but we get the sentiment. LOL
@@PhellpsBrasilianoif I recall, they did not put him in the top 100 at the time (they updated it since to top 30ish).
Prince made every guitar in the world weep simultaneously.
Just bought my first Telecaster. I’ve wanted one since I was 14 after seeing this solo… 6 years later I finally got one. I’m putting a purple pick guard on it in honor of my hero
Sadly, it isn’t a telecaster. It’s a Hohner Madcat. Although, prince would’ve loved what you did for him.
wow congrats man wish you the best in your journeys with the new Axe!!Cheers to the future times ahead together good and the bad.
Prince's solo is obviously epic in this, but Tom Petty's volcals fit so damn perfectly in this song, it's surreal. It's like it was made for him to sing. Gives me chills.
For sure. Wish I had seen him perform live. RIP Tom Petty.
Actually I think Jeff Lynne along with Tom Petty made it spectacular as far as vocals go. Jeff Lynne adds a special flavor to everything.
Yeah, yeah... but listen to that Prince solo.
@@ripleymt 100% agree with you
The whole damn performance still gives me chills. Alllll that talent on one stage performing a classic song written by an absolutely amazing artist posthumously... And even having his son on stage playing along side these legends.... EPIC is all I can say.
A dozen musical masters on the stage....And Prince comes along and burns the theater down. This is THE moment in musical history.
I dunno about that. But Prince was an unparalleled musical genius and I will always worship the ground he walks on in that regard. Utter mastery of the guitar.
Hell fucking yeah!! This never gets old
@@dnice374 Prince style massacred the stage
Prince should’ve been thrown in jail because he absolutely murdered on stage
Really? Apparently you haven't seen/heard Pink Floyd's 1994 Pulse concert.
Particularly 'Comfortably Numb'.
What a performance, what a magical vocal by Jeff Lynne and what a guitar solo by Prince. Truly a masterpiece.
Who is the other gentleman playing lead?
@@kevinfowler1218 im sure the 1st solo is Steve Winwood
@@ilpilgrim Winwood is on keyboard.
@@kevinfowler1218 Marc Mann from ELO.
How he manages to get the guitar (and strap) up and over his hat without knocking it off will always blow my mind haha! One of those performances that will never get old! MASTERPIECE
I watch this a few times a week and I never thought of that. You're right!
What I like most about Prince’s solo is that while he does get a little technical, he maintains harmony with the other players instead of devolving into mindless shredding.
Prince just came out and said, "Yall want to see why Eric Clapton called me the greatest guitarist in the world?"
I agree! He's looking to connect with the other guys even while stealing the show. Humble dude
@@Pon-farrLovin3lol he was an insanely talented guitarist but humble is definitely not a word I would use to describe him at all
He does the guitar crying while Petty sings the lyric to it. Together they give us the guitarist, voice and guitar sounds. It's really brilliant stuff.
The solo: Harrison wrote it, Clapton recorded it, and Prince perfected it.
The reaction of the other musicians towards Prince during his solo tells you everything you need to know about the absolute genius that he was. He will never not be missed.
Spot on
Amen
So true. When Dhani Harrison, a kid who grew up around rock legends, his own father one of them, when he smiles and nods at you while you go off on a solo- man you know your doing somthing right
If you are or have been a pro musician, seeing how Prince handles his guitar, let alone the gold he frees up for us, its clear as fuck he was just a master musician... any decent pro probably just nods their head..the other guys on stage knew...people who aren't musical will never get the different perspective we have, spending years inside music in a way that unless you are or have been a pro is just a way of hearing that is privileged, but not as a dice roll, from hours of building the craft. Prince. However he got to here who gives a fuckadoodle do...all round master musician
and showman...🙏
welp... actually sorry about bursting the bubble, but Dhani was not too happy with Prince taking over and going off on the solo in such way. He said so in an interview. It's around the CZcamss somewhere
My goodness! That man was otherworldly. He made that look effortless. Prince, one of the greatest guitarists of all time!
Best drummer, singer, song writer, guitarist, outfit, dancer, entertainer...prince was simply the best😢
...as said by Dave Grohl...nailed it!
Absofreakinglutely the GOAT!! RIP Prince 😭💜💜💜
“Hey Prince, what else can you do with that guitar?”
“Yes”
Imagine Prince not considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. RIP legend
Because he's not.
Actually, Rolling Stone recognized him as one of the top 50 guitarists of all time, back in the 90s.
@@alokobaju8288I agree he’s not, but he sure is one of the greatest artists of all time. His overall musical ability is waaaay up there.
@@elephantgrass631what, a guy that can play damn near every instrument? And not just play them well…nah…he played them amazingly well! Can make any instrument play like it can sing! 🤯🙌🏾
@@elephantgrass631 He isn't better than a lot of guys who were also left off the Rolling Stone list, but he's way better than some of the people who were included, like Cobain and Johnny Ramone.
its amazing how often people forget just how incredible a musician Prince was.
Absolutely. For me, it was seeing this.
No one, who truly knows, don’t forget. Simply immortal.
Rolling Stone Magazine certainly forgot. A few days before this concert, they made a Top 100 Guitarists of All Time list, and Prince wasn't on it. Those same Rolling Stones editors were in the audience at this show, which is why Prince laid it out then walked on out.
I don't think they forgot, it's the gatekeepers of Rock n Roll music where the guitar defines rock music, and Prince not being considered a rock musician. But make no mistake he'll murder most rock guitarist. Definately in the top 5 greatest guitarists.
Uhhh. Who forgot? It's kind of why Prince is famous.. cos he's an amazing musician.. these kind of comments are moronic
Seriously, no one has ever played the guitar like Prince. What a beast
Prince is actually playing the song with his soul, heart and whole being. You can tell he was born for music and will die for it too. He's the entire embodiment of music, happiness and joy.
Prince is one of the mozarts of our time.
The smile on Dhani Harrison’s face (George’s only son) while he watches Prince play….his joy is palpable. The strut as Prince leaves speaks volumes…..that was a master class performance for the history books.
Yes agreed
Dhani Harrison's face is my favorite part of the video. His natural reactions help put this video in God mode. I'm pretty sure God has this on VHS somewhere.
Is Dhani the guys with black hair, black shirt and aucustic guitar
@@hmingthanmawiichhungte3965yup, that’s him
@@hmingthanmawiichhungte3965yes
My favorite part of this entire video is watching Dhani’s face light up and his smile when Prince walks up.
Me too!!! 😍😍😍
Yes, loved that myself 👍🏼
Yes😊
Ur dad is one of the greatest musicians to ever live and a man comes on stage and changes ur whole life.
@@natashawitcher9139, I have to agree with you. This really was an awesome performance. One of my favorite comedians talked about this performance on his podcast from a few years ago and I just had to check out the remastered version for myself. Very impressive!
Prince was from another dimension! Absolutely a musical genius. ❤
Perhaps one of the best live guitar solo perfomances in the history of music
The goat 🐐🙏🏾💜
This has to be one of the greatest guitar solos in music history and those in attendance had no idea they would witness a guitar virtuoso. RIP Prince and TP
Yeah, lucky people. Times a million. 🎶💜
Very simply, a masterpiece
And RIP George Harrison…
A perfect Gilmorean solo.
Prince don't rest
I don’t think you can reach power levels much higher than Prince casually walking on stage, standing on the side the whole song, and then busting out into one of the best guitar solos in history, returning your guitar back to heaven, and then casually walking back off stage again. He knows he just rocked everyone’s world, and he doesn’t even stay to get applauded. Absolute legend.
By the time he did that there was already youtube, so he knew we would be applauding him forever, whenever we would watch this again
He had to let go of it quick, it was far too hot to handle after that solo
he played awsome... but that Diva attitude gets on my nerves
@@rezos666 I just take that as being the Prince showmanship in full effect. There’s definitely a level of arrogance there but when you’re THAT good …
@@rezos666 yeah to me that’s just a part of the show I guess, I can’t really judge him because I feel like he’s almost earned it with his pure ability alone
I watch this video 100 times. I just recently started looking at all the other guys in the band. Smiling from ear-to-ear.
There is NO ONE ELSE that can make the hair on my arms stand up like PRINCE. I am literally in tears at this epic solo.
A song written 1968, performed in its best way 2004 and still watched in 2024.... Thats perfection and greatness.... Thank god for this....
I've just come back to this perfection as well.
Wè love you Prince❤❤❤
There was the top 100 best guitar players Then there was Prince looking down on them The true Master of over 20 instruments
Tom Petty died...
Time and history tell the tale. Both Petty and Prince die from drug over doses. Jimi Hendrix is arguably one of the greatest guitarist, never claimed to be the greatest, because he knew. He knew that the greatest doesn't ever have the ability to bestow that crown.
This solo proves beyond any doubt that Prince was a musical genius... My favorite part was the look of both amazement and joy on Dhani Harrison's face...
Well said . Dhanis face is just amazing . What a total legend Prince is
Master class from Prince. They looked lost when he belted out that solo.
He was so in awe yet just fanning out for a min like the rest of us when watching this lol
Prince prove that he's just one of the best guitar players that ever was
The hardest part still is the ‘was’…still miss him
This is one of thee GREATEST PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME EVER !!!! Prince knocked it into the the UNIVERSE with his guitar solo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just cant help but smile watching Prince do his thing. Truly one of the greatest guitar players of all time and a wonderful man.
It's 2023 and this is STILL the greatest guitar solo ever
bold statement
@@mariodesimone3236i'd say in the live/improvised solos, but in general, imo its more like an honorable mention
It's 2023 and that guitar is STILL in the air
Yes my friend correct
George definitely smiling down on this day. RIP ♥️
George Harrison’s son smiling before and during Prince solo, shows you everything, and the way Prince smiles at Tom Petty, like “let’s do this,” and Tom Petty giving him the silent nod to tear it up. (Tom Petty before the performance told Prince to go for it.) Legends, icons. We won’t see another performer like Prince. Man was a true showman and entertainer, combined with genius level talent.
Well said
We won’t see another Tom petty or George Harrison and so many others…at least they left their music
@@BobPelot-ko1dr yes sadly we won’t. They were all one of a kind. Good thing we got to enjoy them while they were here and still have their music.
Now I have goosebumps!
Pure genius. Lucky to be young listening to him. Good times
The way Prince smiles at the band during his solo is epic!!!!!
Hundreds of times later, Prince still gives me chills watching his solo. Such ear and eye candy.
Band: “How long are you going to solo Prince?”
Prince: “Yes”
Damn.... :-)
🤣
This! 👆🏾
🤣😭🤣 exactly I just love him so humble though 💜
BBBBBBWWWWWWAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
The look on Dhani Harrisons' face as he watches Prince absolutely kill it in his Dad's song is Priceless, he knows how awesome it is and he is right there with him on stage. So good!
Look up some of his comments when interviewed a out it later on. Not the most complimentary tbh
@@jimstephenson1896 He said they were nervous because Prince was included last minute but they were blown away by his performance.
He’s watching history.
You can see him smiling before Prince even starts, he's looking over at Prince and knows what's about to come.
@@joelhenry5489 blown away, but not in a great way. He wasn’t a fan of how Prince would mislead them in practices with what kind of solo he was planning.
Prince...the reason why I love this classic Beatles song now. Amazing performance by all of these exceptional artists. Can't forget the adoring look on Dhani Harrison's face as he watches Prince enter the scene jamming to his Father's masterpiece. What a memorable moment.💖
The hair on my skin goes crazy every time I listen to this, it's like God touched him.To bad he's not among us anymore, I feel ashamed that only after he died I began realizing how talented he really is RIP hall of famer!
As long as we can all listen and appreciate his musical genius, he’s still, and always will be with us !
1. Prince does a supernatural level performance. 2. Jeff Lynne is a terrific singer. 3. Tom Petty had a better voice than I knew. 4. Harrison’s son looks so much like his Dad.
petty shut Prince down and Prince tried to fight back but was ultimately ended. Re-Watch what petty does from the beginning. 'Still' not While.
@@geckolorNo one tried to shut prince down. You've got the story wrong
I would have loved to hear the musicians talking backstage. So glad I was born in 1961 to grow up with these great musicians.
For a second i thought it was George Harrison
That look George's son Dahni gives Prince and Prince looks back is it.
I've seen this 500 times but every time I watch it again I am left in awe. Prince is THE most underrated guitar player ever.
Honestly probably one of the greatest tbh
@@ConnorKeohane
Top 5 for me.
Same here! So tragic that he died:( We lost such an icon!
That's the stupidest comment ever. NO HE WASN"T.
Me too! Not 500 times but awesome! Wouldn't it have been great to see it live? 1?
While I knew Prince was hugely talented, 12 Tone helped bring this performance to my attention and it absolutely did not disappoint! I hope George Harrison liked it and I hope Prince and Tom Petty are resting in peace as well!
You know the performance has to be amazing if 12tone can’t resist playing clips 😂
I would have bet anyone good money that the words "I'll never listen to the Beatles version again" would never come out my mouth.
To think I'd be excited saying them in a CZcams comment is even more crazy.
2024 and Prince is still gaining new fans because of this performance 20 years ago.
Rightly so 😎
I didn’t think someone could so respectfully steal a show, but if anyone could do that it’d definitely be Prince.
@Splaticus Maximus And he rode the song too. Its such a brilliant solo because it goes so many different directions but is still tied to the original track. George would have loved it if he saw it for himself.
Oh, that's right... There WERE other people on the stage...
@@cmonster67 You didn't see the young dude behind him. looking like #1 Fan
that “young dude” behind him is George Harrison’s son, Dhani
Game blouses .
And Prince throws his guitar and walks off stage without saying a word. Man was one of the greatest performers there’s ever been.
I read his tech caught it, gave it to Oprah, who ended up giving it back to him....cant make that shit up...lol
> Drops one of the best guitar solos ever
> Refuses to elaborate further
> Leaves
He was dressed like a gangster.
He stole the show.
Not a dry pair of panties in the house.
The other musicians were just grateful to be on the stage with him.
Prince! I miss him..
He would never actually put his (fake) Telecaster (Hohner Madcat) in danger. That is the instrument that played every note of every recorded guitar you ever heard from him. It's not a Fender; but it's his baby, just the same.
I watch this performance.
everyday!!! PRINCE underrated as a guitar player!!! AWESOME DEADICATION for a great!! RIP Mr. Harrison!! RIP PRINCE!! ROCK ON BROTHER!!
The person who introduced me to this specific Prince solo a decade ago just passed last week. Will remain forever indebted to him
What is also cool about Prince's solo here is that he is constantly checking in with Petty so as not to stomp on the vocals. Great musicianship and sensitivity to the song. And Dhani is digging it!
Great point dude
Tru dat
@@meagainokay7673 I like your point. Its not like he just showed up a winged it. I like the fact that Prince was a diva but showed his respect for the Man? Or his music. That was a claa act on his part. In 1983 i saw a part of the ARMS concerts for Ronnie Lane. 1st set had watts. Cocker. Clapton and Beck. Never new about becks music. Him and clapton went back an forth with the lead. 2d set was page. Paul brown an a heavy metal set. Ok. Then 3rd set all came out did 4 yardbirds songs. Then went into cream classics. White room. Crossroads. Strange brew. Tales of brave ullysses. I feel free. Page was a bystander. Clapton and Beck were impressive with their back an forth lead playing. 40 years ago. I didnt even realize what a show it was.
@@meagainokay7673 It is easy to go long with popular opinion here. I think Prince was a very good lead guitarist, not great like Hendrix who shaped a style some of which can be heard in Prince's solo. I am not sure if you play guitar or not, I do. I can tell you that it is hard to drop in like he did and perform well. All I ever wanted to be was a lead guitarist because it is possibly the best example of living in the moment and making it mean something. It is what jamming is all about and I appreciate his ability and willingness to do so on a big stage. He in many ways embodied live performance by "real musicians' as he put it no matter the outcome. The break has a few very good moments and mostly is fitting to the song, like starting around 5:06. It is not the best lead break ever however and I know if he were here today he would say the same thing.
@@meagainokay7673 Appreciate the link. If pull offs and arpeggios that never end is your thing then I guess it is okay. There are really two distinct lead playing styles out there: Ones that show off a player's proficiency and others that are from the heart. I prefer the latter. Not to say his lead break is bad. Note that he plays the same licks over at times however. No matter the complication, this a very taboo thing to do on a lead break. But even Prince does the same thing in places. So a technically proficient solo that lacks heart on a song that demands it is my take. I am not terribly impressed with either and I think I can do just as good or better in a particular moment, not to sound egotistical.
Prince was such a criminally underrated guitarist. I’ve seen this dozens of times and I still get chills. I also love seeing Dhani Harrison geek out while watching him.
Yeah... obviously, Dhani was diggin' it.
yep! mic drop hahahaha LOL no! fuckin guitar throw!
What the fuck are you talking about? He is widely considered one of the greatest ever to pick up the instrument. His ability not only to compose but to play and improvise is fucking legendary.
I Agree.
Prince is hands down the greatest guitarist that ever lived
2024 and still the best solo ever makes me cry every time
Dhani Harrison is the spitting image of his dad. Love how he can't stop smiling while Prince is playing.
Dhani's smile while Prince is killing it always makes me happy.
Ashame he talked a bit of shit afterwards about him and this performance. He said his smiling was because he thought it was awkward and he wasn't enjoying it and he was a buffer between the others. The others who he said were probably thinking the same thing, God this is awful etc. He's full if it. He cleary loved it
Time stamp?
@@aahumada1yes! Please time stamp for us so we know what you're talking about lol
@herpermike_ 3:25. Dhani off Tom's shoulder, smiling and nodding at Prince as he steps forward right before the spotlight hits him.
Him too. Prince is one of the most unheralded guitarists and he is one of the greatest. Stunning
Prince gives me chills when i watch this. But i gotta give props to the sound engineer, the mix on this is incredible. To be able to hear everyone on that stage and all the vocals live is almost impossible.
Yeah, it’s good work.
Your comment just gave me the chills! You are absolutely correct! You are not supposed to hear the acoustic guitar, so cleanly! Sound engineer did that!
Why cause he was a bit of an og of a guitarist
Winwood is a good guitar player too
He probably meant because the sound from the acoustic guitar wouldn’t usually register very well or prominent in the mix. Nothing against Winwood
Every time this shows up in the feed, I watch it twice...sometimes thrice...best guitar solo ever and the mic drop (aka guitar flip) at the end is why prince is prince and may likely never be replicated again.
I've been wondering for years, where did that guitar go?
Who didn’t know that Prince was this good? I did. And I guarantee you every musician on that stage knew it well in advance of this performance. You see Tom Petty and Prince, looking back and forth and smiling at each other. As soon as Prince starts, Petty does a dip and then a bow in his direction. He knows what’s coming.
And both of them are gone now. Where are the new stars of music, taking us to the next level? I see my favorites getting older, and passing away with their generation. Where are the torch carriers?
No matter if you liked him or not, you can't deny that Prince was an absolute genius: he killed it on guitar, bass guitar, drums, and piano, he composed every notes of his songs...I call it genius. RIP legend.
I saw him play at Paisley Park in 1998. I lived in Minneapolis and he invited the entire audience of his sold out concert at the Target Center to his "house" after. We stood out in the cold but I am sooo glad we did. No drinking. No drugs. He played every instrument all night long. Absolutely incredible talent.
What's not to like?
Genius is not even an enough word for what prince was.
Listening to the radio one would never know that. This solo makes it painfully obvious that we were robbed...
Absolute genius and amazing musician without a doubt but while he wrote most of his songs, some were written with other composers. Purple Rain for instance was written by Wendy and Lisa just to give you an example.
The fact that none of the professional musicians onstage were prepared for what was about to happen is still the greatest part of this.
they knew he was going to try to upstage everyone. they talked about it before the show. they all knew what kind of narcissist Prince was.
Kevzilla, how is Prince a narcissist? Look at Dhani smiling at Prince. His smile just sums up. Pick up your guitar which seems to gently weep right now.
@@kevzilla2746 and Prince backed it up every time.
Precisely!!!!!!
Haha, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. You give prince a solo and it's gonna be the solo he wants to play in that moment no matter what was discussed prior to going on stage and I have absolutely no problem with that.
Get chills every time I watch this. Prince is amazing. They both left us way to early.
Who is watching today?!
I ! EVERY DAY THIS EXTRAORDINARY PIECE ❤
"Today" as in the day you are watching or "today" when the viewer is watching/reading your comment
@@coast_2coast I was referring to when I was watching but I guess,it could apply to anyone at the time of reading my comment as well.
@@philmurray5038 in that case... Me!! Have a good day phil
I am. I saw Prince perform back in 1980. He was amazing then and now.
I still maintain this is one of the best guitar solos ever played.
Not even close. Wrap your head with duct tape and watch this until the end...
czcams.com/video/ZQgYn23Xvck/video.html
Not even close, yes it's good, but nowhere near being one of the best.
It's hard not to agree, especially if you know the background. Even more impressive imo.
Prince was a musical genius, end of. Don't have to like a person's sounds or styles to see greatness. 100 x's I've heard this since I found it.
@@TreVader1378 not even near the best ....of this song
Great and a little different...but let's not get carried away
Prince is GOAT
This is legitimately one of the most epic moments in the history of music.
You’ve gone to far, sir….it is however, masterful guitar playing by prince. This is a great cover song with an incredible solo…prince playing the Super Bowl in an all out down pour was far more of an epic moment in music history.
@@forrestmichnevich7371 Or you know we could just let people enjoy what they like without trying to tell them they're wrong.

History of MODERN MUSIC
Don’t be blinded by this solo’s pimposity.
It was a fair dinkum butcher job, ruining the songs original intent and continuity.
Hack and Flash is how I’d describe his musicianship.
what a performance, probably one of the best tributes of all time (rip Prince, Tom Petty and George Harrison 🕊️🕊️)
Still prince's guitar playing makes us weep. It's out of this world, really. As is this song from Harrison, is has so much soul and truly weeps.
It’s how they hide Prince until the solo that just increases the impact of his incredible talents, and that moment when Dhani Harrison smiles knowing what is about to happen and how we will all be blown away
Such a sweet soul in that moment I feel it was a moment of respect pretty cooll.
That's because all the other musicians heard him in rehearsal and said, "Prince, dude. You've got to go last. No one can follow that..." If you know a guy is about to light the piano on fire make sure it's the end of the show.😂
@@davidleslie1127 love that! I can imagine Killer setting the piano on fire with Jimi burning his guitar, but this time because they saw Prince play play
@@davidleslie1127 I'm not sure if the other guys got to hear this in rehearsal. If I remember the story correctly, Prince was supposed to do a solo midway through the song, but during rehearsal another musician up and decided he himself was going to play all the solos himself and Prince just kind of went along with it. There wasn't going to be another chance for a rehearsal with Prince so the director had a talk with him about what was going to happen and Prince basically told him not to worry about it, that he'll come in at the very end and to just let the other guy do whatever. That's why when he starts his solo during the actual show, he bursts out of nowhere and at times it's almost like he's mocking the other guy. But pretty much leading up to that, only Prince knew what he was going to do.
If we believe the stories (and music stories are inherently unreliable) he didn’t know what was to come. None of them did.
Prince absolutely shredded the solo, chucked his guitar and just bounced. What a legend.
Yes he was truly a legend....
god caught that guitar....or maybe George?
@@jimmyskinnie I think it was his security team the guy that picked him up when he went back into the crowd and pushed him back on stage
He is dearly missed.
Very well said & absolutely true! Prince hit the stage and stole the entire show!
What a badass. Made it look easy. RIP, Prince.
I just love the way Prince finishes. He knows he absolutely slayed it, and so on the last note he just throws his guitar into the crowd and he's out. Done. Not even a bow or a "thank you and good night". He just epitomizes cool.
That moment when rock's biggest stars become Prince's backing band.
Damn skippy
Damn right..
So true!
😂
Legend has it, Prince’s guitar is still weeping.
Wow. Thank you for this comment. Sent chills through me. Wonderful image.
aren't we all?
@@ssparklers26 Ah yes.
After that fucking toss
legend has it, the guy still has that nasty bump on the head when Prince threw his guitar.
Prince was one of the best guitarists to ever walk this planet, and he knew it.
I watch this quite often. The look on Dhani Harrison's face is priceless.
The fact the prince could play over 20 instruments at the level is just amazing. 100% one of the greatest musicians to ever walk this earth.
He was the best I ever saw live. His presence was wonderful. Gone too soon I would of liked to see him a few more times
@@baromareq356 You’re correct. Not only is he a great musician but he is also an amazing performer. He was always able to put on a good show.
He was maybe not a virtuoso in all those instruments that he played, but even the fact that he was a virtuoso on multiple instruments, great singer, great songwriter, and was at least decent at dozens of instruments just goes to how one of a kind he was as a musician.
@@eyvithorgeirsson6028He recorded all the music himself as well as provided backing vocals on his debut album.
He didn't play 20 instruments at THIS LEVEL
It’s not often you hear a guitar weep that beautifully. That solo was just incredible.
He's never really been given full credit for the amazing musician he really is. I listen to this song ALL the time. Idc how many years ago it was, it's a classic, love Tom Petty RIP and a master class from Prince. RiPP (Rest in Purple Peace) 😎🎸💯✌️
I always come for the solo but honestly the entire song is great
Top 5 solos of all time, prove me wrong.
@@notyourfault.2860 can't prove, just agree ! :)
Awesome
George Harrison, Prince, Tom Petty you will always be remembered ❤
Best shred ever. Truly amazing without missing the tempo and the fact he’s doing tricks at the same time. Legendary performance.
3:25
I love how George Harrison’s son smiled right before Prince’s solo, because he knew that Prince was about to cut up! I adore Prince and George. Both legends in their own right. ❤
so true
Prince got on that solo and just absolutely shredded the entire building's faces off. Absolutely masterful.
Nope. He didn't enjoy Prince
So I heard that Prince didn’t go to rehearsal & Dani was nodding & smiling to let him know….this is your part! Then he saw why he needed no rehearsal!
I was wondering who that kid was! He was having the time of his LIFE! Watching his reaction to Prince SLAYING it was my favorite part!
That Little smile Tom petty keeps giving Prince is Golden
dhanni does it as well the smiles and nods, lets you know it was all cool with them
@@TheBetheeboo Exactly!
This in no way any disrespect to either of those guys but they probably shared their goods with each other before the show.
@@markmalaney5542
They actually didn't! Danny asked Prince to do it, but he refused. Then last moment he got on the stage, which is why you can see everyone smiling
@@kaiperets2928 I think he meant something else
One of my favourite performances of all time. So what I heard is he promised to make Dhani Harrison smile. I hope that’s true, but either way I always get the impression Prince didn’t take himself as seriously as the people around him did. RIP. This was amazing.
Still can't get over that prince guitar riff,freaking legendary.
