Did you notice at the end of video, prince throws his guitar towards heaven and guitar is never seen falling down

never gets old , never will..

Same

Can't get enough this is bad

@@miljacmilic3611 , the Legend has it, that Chuck Norris saw this happening, and out of respect, caught Prince's guitar. Love that mischievous grin as he asks and gets permission to keep going from FUCKING LEGENDS!! Saw a purple Ford Ranger on the way to work. First thought....buy it. Paint Purple Rainger in that specific print type font.😘👍

❤

Yes,Glasgow

Yes Fife xx

Yep

Yep Florida

Agree - but where did the guitar go?

@@brianjowaisas3460 His roadie caught it.

Amen..

Such a loss to the world of Rock

Prince Prince Prince…I miss u…..😢

And I still believe George caught his guitar at the end!

🤣😂 the faces of awe from legendary artists 🔥🔥🔥

Ever see him play the bass? Like.. This guy was just a miracle that we shall never see again in our lifetimes.

It’s astonishing when you realize he could have smoked all the greats not only on guitar…..but also on piano, drums, vocals, arrangements, and of course dance. Not bad for a kid from the wrong side of the tracks in North Minneapolis. ❤

@@Flyingtaco82uhm. No. There’s many of GREATS that will never EVER see the trash that is RRHOF. Not disputing the little guy’s genius or ability on many levels and instruments. It’s just that not all the great guitarist were / are ever Pop. or even known.

a total mess he totally out of time in most of it he ruined a great song

I just want a guitar

@@electoplater Yeah...no.

@@electoplater Aye, have a good night mate, bye.

@@electoplater Your comment is out of tune. Go get some lessons.

That....puts a smile on my face every time.

Sorry to say that Dhani wasn't actually happy. In an interview, he said it was a nervous laugh because he was worried about how Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty would react to him. It's a shame, but it's true.

I think the same thing every time I watch this…prob 100 times including big screen. Prince always demands attention & Dhani was loving it! ♥️ Looks just like his Dad too.

@@jaxonrox Why would he feel that way, bc they loved his Dad so much?

I wasn't a Prince fan until I saw this. He just killed it in this performance!

That superbowl performance was probly one of the most epic things I have ever witnessed

He went to rehearsal to hear what they were doing, won't be someone of his Royalty ever again. missed.

Heard he didn't stay for rehearsal, he had something else to do, told Petty don't worry he would come up with something. Didn't disappoint.

And Coachella

I read the back story to this performance. I'm a big Prince fan. After reading he never practiced with the band 😧 huh 🤔 what

Nice image

That was brilliant! Kudos

That's sublime,mate,bravo👋

Tom Petty in Purple; Prince in Red…. Freee Falllliiinnn imfreeefallluiim

OMG

They found him in his elevator. RIP.

He didnt even have to sing. Go figure!

That knowing look on Dhani’s face as Prince was walking to center stage. What a tribute. Then Prince throws a look back at Dhani towards the end like “you having fun?” which which was just such a sweet gesture.

This is my favorite version of this song.

@@annt7384 my absolute favorite part of this video. You can see the joy in his face. Just a fan on stage with the band at that point.

he actually is greatly recognized as the perfection of a "musicians, musician". his talent was beyond words

Pretty sure Rolling Stone had him in top 15. I could be wrong. But probably not.

He is extremely talented but extremely overrated

@@iamheeeem What about Jimmy Hendrix?

@@gillianbrookwell1678 no one mentioned Hendrix. This thread is about Prince.

Brilliant...couldn't stop laughing

😂❤

Morons will be morons. Why post bullshit like this? Does it make you feel special? On the day Prince died, a tweet with a quote of praise from Eric Clapton went viral. But although Clapton was a Prince fan, he never made the statement attributed to him. On April 21, 2016, British radio host Stig Abell tweeted, "Eric Clapton was asked about how it felt to be the world's best guitarist. His response: 'I don't know. Ask Prince.'" The comment was liked more than 14,600 times and retweeted by more than 12,700 people. Snopes has investigated the matter, and has determined it to be false. Apparently it's a variation of a similarly false quote attributed to Jimi Hendrix about both Irish blues musician Rory Gallagher and Christian guitarist Phil Keaggy. Clapton spoke much more personally about Prince two days after his passing. "I'm so sad about the death of Prince," he wrote on Facebook. "He was a true genius, and a huge inspiration for me, in a very real way. In the the '80s, I was out on the road in a massive downward spiral with drink and drugs. I saw Purple Rain in a cinema in Canada, I had no idea who he was, it was like a bolt of lightning! In the middle of my depression, and the dreadful state of the music culture at that time it gave me hope, he was like a light in the darkness." He continued: "I went back to my hotel, and surrounded by empty beer cans, wrote 'Holy Mother.' I can't believe he's gone."

No they don't .

F A R TOO SOON

Too talented for this world. The human body wasn't meant to hold that much talent.

One of the best solos of all time.

One of the best solos that anyone has ever done period.

the Best - hands down

I miss him too he was a great musician showman he was very smart

Prince was hogging the show

I agree 100% .

"well said Shonda"

Cool beans

Every last one of them are badass! 💕

Prince reminds me of the Grinch with his facial expressions. Not in a bad way, but a cute way.

He was

Welcome to the club of those who know he truly was.

In rock and roll, he is legend

Your right

It’s a given. He was not of this world

Not true. It’s been disproven. Prince is still the most underrated guitarist of the 20th century

Yeah that's a plagiarized quip of somebody asking Jimi what's it's like to be the greatest guitarist. He responds "Ask Charlie Christian".

@@timc844 Jimi said Billy Gibbons was the best he's ever heard

@@Poohdaddymagic Wow. Don't know the guy! Gotta look him up now.

This comment is why nothing can believed on social media.

Do you obey traffic laws, Ryefry? Does your family?

@@martinkent333 huh?

I don’t why no body told you

@@ryefry Accountability isn't something anyone gives a fuck about. You got the top comment, so I asked you! Bye!!

The best version yet , Prince was as always over the top .

Marc Mann was absolutely fucking great on the lead, but then prince is just god-like and blows him out of the water.

Thanks. I was wondering who that was

Thank you. I never heard his name before! How is that possible?

Not easy to stand up and duplicate a classic solo by an all-time great in front of hundreds of music execs and other stars on a big night. Mann was a top studio player of that era for good reason.

@@johnwildman6065 because he is a sideman, and damn good one at that.

That's some smoking stuff right on.

Who's George?

@@Blackfeet you must be joking right?

@@augustomauro8602 if Blackfeet is joking he's not showing any respect.

Yep. The love there in those moments was palpable! ♥️

80 yr. Old mom and grandma of 3 bass players ..this is the best..chillz abound RIP

Even in this cut, Dhani gives a smile to Prince before Prince starts to play. And then he just shreds it.

I think Dhani felt honored to be amongst greatness. Petty, Lynne, and Prince... Oh yeah.

@@John-ik2eg what? I didn't pick up on any animosity there. It was a bunch of top shelf artists honoring another. Prince looked fine and appeared at ease. I don't know maybe my eyes are failing me.

@@John-ik2eg BTW I don't see anyone as showboats when it came to the beatles. Sure not as many of George's songs didn't make albums that's obvious. The upside for George in that respect was that he had lots of fished songs on the shelf. If you check he outsold Paul & John combined the first year or so after the split. He didn't have to share the profits either. Things have a way of working out.

I weep when I think of what the world has lost and what might have been.

Yeah its unreal

@@robertdickerson2821 Yes. Prince, Jimi and George Harrison, gone way too soon.

If you don't think of Hendrix you're right.

@@AndyGoldner Yet, was not Hendrix there in spirit? I saw him in Prince. Without Hendrix, this showstopper wouldn't exist =)

Amen

@@candybest6381 You're absolutely right!

The best

Jeff's voice - PLEASE 🙏❤❤❤❤❤

I read that Clapton was asked what it was like to be the greatest guitarist of all time and he said - I don’t know, you’d have to ask Prince.

I’m not sure if I’d say outshines, bc they’re such different genres. Can’t really compare. Prince is one of the best at his though!

Lol. Prince was great but couldn't outshine Clapton if he live a million lives. And he knows it.

Not really fair to compare Prince in 2004 to Clapton in 1968. You don't think Prince listened to Cream and Derek and the Dominoes until he could play every lead guitar note? That's what I hear! When Clapton played that solo originally, there were not a handful of guitarists in the world who could have done as well, never mind better. Hell, give Marc Mann kudos for a great cover of what Clapton played, in front of the world, with three R&R HOF members on stage!

@@melissaslater2575 I think it was actually Jimi Hendrix asked and he replied I don't know ask Rory Gallagher

You spelled Petty wrong.

@@djtrendsetta5766 perhaps you misspelled BadMF?

@@djtrendsetta5766 Both musical geniuses, and both gone too soon!

a little full of himself, but an amazing musician

@@pman1865 lol, most advanced specialists are.

❤

@chris franco I also enjoy watching Prince covering Creep. Very few to just a couple videos of him at Coachella. Surely one of his finest performances.

I saw him in 1983 and he was and is a musical genius

I saw Prince twice, 20 years apart, and this is a tiny man, with a giant presence and an extreme amount of sex appeal and charisma!! While indeed he had dialed down the raucousness of his performance, he never missed a beat. He was indeed a very rare and very special talent.

You never worked for him. Why say that?

@@sheldontapp3769 I had a friend who also worked at his club in LA and Prince would put on all kinds of live performances, all the time but he wouldn't announce where the show would be until a hour before and only select people would know about it or get an invite. There is zero reason to think that Adrian S is lying about it.

That’s so cool! Would’ve loved to have been one of his groupies! 😜 but kinda true…

I agree with you Marian. After watching the live tribute to George Harrison and seeing the video, I lost respect for Prince and others also agree with me. Prince, made this about himself instead of G.H. Prince, was showboating while G.H.’s friends and son was putting on a tribute show in memory of George Harrison.

@@trinasargent300 bitch this is not what he was saying

But , he’s such a great guitarist

@@trinasargent300 noooo

@@lisamoroney3036 sorry, I misunderstood what you said, I’m a bit dyslexic. Though I still stand behind my opinion about Prince.

Yes definitely

He's Amazing so enjoy the sound and Preformers!!! WONDERFUL.

Tim Buttrum I saw that RRHOF induction ceremony on TV in 2004. It was an all-star line-up. Everybody was jamming. I thought it was great and then came Prince. He blew me away. Wasn't expecting it at all. He stole the show. I knew he was a multi talented musician who could play multi instruments and I admired that, but after seeing that performance and hearing those ripping solos, I had a new respect for the man. So, yes, I agree, Prince was underrated. RIP Purple One

Well loved talent. No needed to say underrated other than your desire.

Meh

So far about 50, 60, 80 times... Now I'm just getting past the guitar skills and am now in awe at the showmanship. I always knew he was an unusually talented guy, but here... he's a legend.

Absolutely epic. Where does his guitar to at the end though😂

Yes! Not just Prince, but everyone to me…different genres coming together to pay tribute to the quiet, amazing Beatle ♥️

Out of this world for sure

I agree. He sure is missed.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Yea, I heard he was pretty good...😉

Maybe hendrix..Definitely Hendrix

whole performance is totally on point -- they shoulda kept doing that ending turnaround vamp for another 5-10 minutes

Pure perfection

I actually like this version better then the original

And Prince too. They're all gone, but the music is forever.

EVER!!

Yes indeed that’s some bad ass 💩

I love that the performer freaking out the most is Dhani Harrison, son of the original writer of the song they are playing.

Great guitarist as this vid proves!!

The other performers weren't "freaking out"! Be real...

Hard to believe these masters of their craft have passed on. Very few of today's performers have the sheer stage presence that these guys had.

Amen Brother!

you are forgiven...Prince's eccentricities got all the attention during his lifetime, but now the rest of the universe is finding out what Prince's friends & fam in Minneapolis & his fans have known for 40-50 years

same

As a long time Prince fan I understand why he wasn't everybody's cup of tea. Listen to his guitar solo from the song Temptation from the 3:30 mark. Incredible!

yes, my friend.Tony uk

I love Prince

@@vickylane9723 Well said ! Absolutely the truth. We will always miss his talent.

Prince is alive forever he is an icon n the salt of the earth in his home town.Live n learn

I think was an opportunity to just have fun playing with a awesome group of artists. Numerous artists, but one encompassing soul...

Amen!

Me too! Love, love, love! ❤

Yeah , I know how you feel . I just can’t seem to get enough of it either .

Prince stole that song out of the hands of Clapton forever! I play it and I can't wait to get to the Prince moment, except I don't throw my guitar to my roadie! I hate how bored or tired Tom looks here BTW..maybe sad for his friend?..

@@stratdoc bored or stoned .

Just like me, only now I thought let's see what the critics of ..... have 2 say......

Tears of joy! An amazing performance by Prince

Well said.

He's like a kid with his candy🤣

It's almost as if he knows what's coming is about to be dynamite!!!

He knows but he it still blows his an our minds…genius

@@ConcertFootageNate well put

@@erichinton5774 because he did. Prince had a falling out with the producers about the direction of this song. They cut his solo and tried to eliminate him from the show entirely. That's why the camera never showed him and he didn't have a spotlight. He wasn't supposed to have a solo at all. He talked about it with Dhani before and Dhani gave him the green light to tear it up. He was the only one that knew it was coming. That's really what makes this performance by Prince so legendary. Straight up gangster.

Jeff Lynne is forever an underrated Musician. So talented

Five decades after listening to them for the first time, and ELO is still a top band for me. In fact, I appreciate them even more now than then. You are not alone: the following excerpt from Wikipedia may explain why many (me included) feel this way. According to music journalist Simon Price, ELO was "arguably the most uncool, even defiantly anti-cool, of the lot and have been the slowest to be rehabilitated since ... "

@@GlimmerOfLight I saw them in 1976 in St Petersburg FL, very small venue. Almost fainted it was so packed & hot. Have no idea how they performed so well in the heat. Amazing

Frontman for ELO to this day. They still sound awesome. Saw them in '19.

Completely. Jeff Lynne is the amazingly talented guy that even the Beatles think is cool, but he's so underated. ELO are awesome.

Prince is not underrated at all - ever.

Prince is freaking unbelievable, he sounds and is playing like Jimmi Hendrix, just awesome

@oatstao I thought the same about him until I saw this performance. I cannot stop watching it. One of the most brilliant guitar solos I've heard. And the showmanship is from another planet.

@@vincentberte7675 no disrespect to Jimi but I actually think Prince is better.

@@HELLH0WND I just seriously had no idea he could do what he did with that guitar but I've come to learn that Prince was self taught and every instrument he touched he mastered, I think they call that a virtuoso, but ya, he really brings it in this video, he's just so freaking good, and the look on George Harrison's face just about said it all lol ok Hellhownd you and your loved ones have a great day

That is precisely what it did. Amazing!

Preach 🙌

They didn't actually know what he was going to do. Prince didn't play the solo during any rehearsals. He was supposed to play the ones that Marc Mann ended up playing, but Prince told the producer to keep it and "not to worry" that he would give an outro solo.

Hallelujah!

@@patch5588 that's what makes this so unbelievably epic. He just like nah I'll see you guys there...then absolutely steals the show.

I want to know who caught that guitar.

He also randomly leaned back and was pushed back up. That was obviously set up. I love Prince. I'm from Minneapolis. I had the pleasure of taking a pee next to Prince at a Bajork show at First Ave.

Wish George could have seen and heard this beauty

This happens when you play your heart out and leave your soul on that stage every performance

@@luiscalderon7251 I agree completely!

Yep. Music is what's missing from rock music these days. It's mostly just sounds pulled out of machines now.

miss him so much god rest him.......... he was amazing he blows my mind when he does this performance love him

For sure, a brilliant performance buy everyone ESPECIALLY Prince! His ability to have the runs he did and always coming back for the major cords with the band is incredible. I’d rate this as the top guitar performance I’ve ever seen!

Those are rocky numbers, step it up ! ;) I’m on at least 100…

R.I.P. Tom Petty...this is sheer perfection! What an iconic lineup!

I was literally thinking what you said verbatim.

Hendrix wished he could play the guitar this well...and 20+ other instruments, plus arrange, dance, choreograph, compose, arrange, and sing as well as Prince did.

I think God must have caught the guitar. I was a guitar tech for some great players and that was my question after seeing this. WTF happened to the guitar? I’m sure his tech was in on the deal.

When Prince died, he went to Heaven held out his hands and caught that guitar!

actually he can play much better than this check Joy In Repetition One Night Alone 2002 aftershow ,Bambi from The Undertaker ,Just My Imagination,many more

Check out his Super Bowl Halftime performance. He did his thing in the pouring rain.

@@lucillegriffin9525 and NAILED IT! They’d ask Prince about changing it up bc of the rain, but he declined. Just slapped that head wrap on & played like there was no tomorrow!

Prince is a groundbreaking guitar player.

6:17*

Wow I’ll have to watch it once again. Can’t believe I haven’t noticed that one of the 100th + times I’ve watched it it seems! Thanks for the info

not really underrated though. Everyone kinda knows Prince was a badass on a guitar.

Eric Clapton once called Prince the best guitars in the world

Easily one of the greatest guitar solos ever

Definitely!!
