If you can't get yourself moving to this then you haven't got a musical soul! Extraordinary performance. Prince was one of a kind.

Prince in my book is one of the most underrated guitarist ever. Man was a phenom of nature

This was the THIRD encore of the evening. All the house lights are on, people who don’t know Prince are in the parking lot. The. He probably went and did a 2am show at a local club. RIP my sweet Prince.

Amazing. I also love how he gives everyone else a chance to shine.

a star child from another galaxy did this phenomenal anomaly to bring joy

Prince always said “real music by real musicians” and he was right. He was one of the best live experiences of my life. 💜💜

Yes, this was Prince's 10th encore that night. At his concerts, he would give you more than what you paid for. He was famous for always saying "you all paid to see me, i can't give you just an hour. I got hits for days. I can go all night!" and his encore's would end up being an hour or 2. Him loving music is an understatement, Prince was addicted to it, he was music in the flesh. His catalog speaks on that very point, because he was the Multi-Genre God. I have Spotify playlists, some of them are "Metal" "Classical" "R&B" "POP" "JAZZ" "Hip Hop" "Punk rock" "blues" etc & the one thing that makes Prince stand out from EVERY other artist, is that, i have Prince song's for every genre on my playlist. Who else can say that ?

The late Johnny Blackwell who died a few months after Prince died. Blackwell played drums for the NPG 2000-2007, and then in 2011-2016. Prince rehearsed his band 12 hours a day and they had to know 100 songs for that tour because he would change the lineup right up to he hit the stage. Not only that they had to know the songs well enough that his cues to either stop, loop, skip etc were done seemlessly.

PRINCE Is The Greatest Of All Time.👑💜💜💜🕊️

Prince is the greatest player, to ever hold a guitar.

I mean... This isn't human anymore! Now why on earth didn't I ever go and see Prince? And it's not just him! That band is a real monster... Tight as Alex' hairdo and at the same time lose as George's hairdo without that cap. This is... Monstrously banging! Holy sh*t... A Klingon! Better known as an Auerswald Cleo bass! Haven't seen one in those in a while. Oh, the drummer is the late John Blackwell if memory serves me well.

Prince was a BEAST on the BASS.

As a Gen Xer I have been fortunate to see some of the very best live in Concert. Nobody touched Prince live.

One of my favorite artist of all time. The man had such a flare and style from his fashion to his musicianship. Growing up, there were always those debates. Rolling Stones vs The Who, Led Zep vs Rush and Micheal Jackson vs Prince. Even with how massive MJ was, I was always partial to Prince. I've always leaned towards the artist that had more of an edge to their music and performances. I can't think of anyone past or present that could command the attention as Price did on stage. The man for me was the ultimate showman.

This performance by Prince was incredible! Not only killing it on vocals and guitar, but bass also! Amazingly talented! Another performance where he kills it on guitar is Purple Rain live in Syracuse in 1985. He does a full guitar solo that lasts 6 minutes! It is crazy to see how amazingly talented this man was. R.I.P. Great reaction guys!

Just real shit he was the the Man how couldn't you love what he did and was

I was never really a fan of this song but Price brought to another level. Thank you for this. By the way still believe that Prince's Super Bowl performance was one of the greatest of all time. I mean it was actually raining when he performed Purple Rain. It doesn't get better than than.

As a rabid Prince fan for decades, I can give you one bit of advice. When he asks in the middle of many songs" Can I play my guitar?" Always say yes.

This is kind of music that could ho on for hours...it's great if you are there, but great to watch on youtube too. Prince was a one of a kind and Purple Rain got me in tears back then and does it today too, because of that song I went to see that move at least 10 times. Sad we lost all these amazing musicians too soon.

Perhaps the greatest musician of all-time. I mean who else can you think of that does literally everything and on the highest of high levels!

My favorite artist of all time. A great artist.

Drummer was John Blackwell - great jazz drummer as well, unfortunately passed away in 2017.

It was the 3rd of 4 encores and the drummer was John Blackwell. May he rest in peace 🕊️. And that was his take on the Kool and the Gang classic Hollywood Swinging but he changed it to Inglewood Swinging because that's where that was performed

Props for checking that whole section....that bass part blows me away, and Ida Nielsen has soooo much FUNK!

I discovered Prince rather late in the game. As a guitar player for over 40 years, this man was the most underrated musician and guitar player of all time. His skill was absolutely off the charts! My understanding is he played every instrument on one of his albums? 24 instruments? Mind blowing! I believe he could blow Eric Clapton off the stage in a guitar duel !

Prince Has always been one of the best singer, musician, totally awesome and just hearing this makes you want to dance. R.I.P. Prince

Prince would rehearse his bands until they could not get it wrong, he was a stunning musician in every way, I was so sad when he passed, but he worked so hard all his life that his body could take no more. Prince's average beat most peoples best. 😀😭

The Prince that became king. King of Kings. Best guitar player i have seen. The groove, emotion and sound cannot be imitated.

I actually sent this in to your guys as a request a few months ago. Glad to see you found it!

Yep it was kind of rehearsed but it is still improvisation. If you really want Prince to let loose and where it’s not rehearsed, you want to check out his aftershows where he and his band would jam in clubs after the main show. These normally took place around midnight until the early hours of the morning. I went to several! He was great on the drums too!

Great Mastery of the BAND, and of the stage. I miss wondering when the next Prince album is coming out. As that was a staple of my entire musical existence … and I am a long-haired Metalhead.

Great review of a kick-ass performance, Prince is the Goat for sure. I just wanted to add my 2 cents to the twin comment, Prince was a Gemini and his mother was a twin, he was even engaged to a twin in the mid-80's. Gemini expresses duality and is represented as twins. Twins\duality were used as a motif throughout his career in various ways, just like purple and the number 7.

The Purple #GOAT...astonishing...there will never be another...☔

Remembering Prince, Sheila E, and Candy Dulfer, still remember that. Just the period slipped from memory, somewhere between 1993-99. Old age does that...

Loved your reaction. Please upload more Prince videos:)

I love this, some of my favourite concert moments are when the artist is enjoying themselves enough that they jam and play for the joy of it. It's always memorable, not often this impressive though. It's a bit like watching you two get a wibble on and the track goes out the window, just damn good fun! Excellent find, more please!

Awesome video. More Prince

I sure miss this kind of music and shows like this💜 Prince was a perfectionist 👏🏽 and a genius who played every instrument better than every musician in all his bands.

LOVE LOVE LOVE PRINCE, MORE OF HIM PLEASE !!!!!!! #GOAT

Sucks how is is one of them gone WAY to soon.. Loved this the first time i seen it and still enjoy it and I'm 57 year old white guy who loves Pink Floyd lol

Nice reaction. I wish the estate would release stuff like this. Usually a prince rehearsal was 12 to 15 hrs, various times, sometimes working on one part for 30min. So the band would learn the show, next day he would change the show and start over sometimes u didn't know where he was going, he would say, "play in A" and u just went w it til he started singing. Other times during rehearsal he might basic instructions " chorus twice, sax solo, chorus, organ solo" always the showman. U could 5different genres in one night at a prince show. Not sure if you d seen these, but you'd appreciate prince doing "stratus", "the ride" live from 1998 crystal ball album had nice bluesy guitar, "feline" was a 33min long rehearsal, but has nice guitar first 10 min in the song. Wendy is strumming a long, he s experimenting w some rhythm, he says "play that" and she goes right into it which was cool. "Head" 1981 Houston show, 4th song in has some nice guitar distortion he does. It is a "clutch my pearls" performance. Video s not that great because it's off of vhs sp recording but sound is decent. Cool reaction from u guys

Prince rocks 🎸 the house @engelwood California

Mention needs to be made of the great John Blackwell, arguably the best drummer Prince had. John was born in the pocket and never left. Tragically, he died at only 43 years old. RIP John, Prince and Boni Boyer. Heaven never heard such funk.

The drummer is one of the very finest to ever pick up a pair of sticks, Mr John Blackwell Jr, RIP. There is a great video on here that really shows off his skills, it’s a sign o the times performance, his har falls off as he’s really going for it and he never misses a beat. Between him and Michael Bland, they are my fave of P’s drummers.

You guys are great...as to this been rehearsed...as far as I know Prince worked so hard in rehearsal that he and the band could just jump into... so yes.. rehearsed..but only because this absolute genius lived for music.. great channel guys

PRINCE 💜💙💛🧡💜💛🧡

love you guys

Dang, how I miss this guy when I see this.

Thanks so much for new to me Prince! Tight as funk! Cooking and dancing on a Sunday afternoon! Happy New Year, dear Thamesmen!

13 minutes of pure joy! Nobody like him...just the best x

My ALL TIME fave 🎸axeman😉

It was rehearsed as he played this song at many concerts, (there are other videos on KZfaq) but it was always very different every time. The solo was played differently every time.

Thanks guys! Great reaction! You guys always bring a smile to my face!

Y’all’s intro had me cracking up talking about American culture. Too funny! … now to Prince. He was having fun with this encore after the encore performance.

Wow -- Have I been missing out. Not much more I can say. I've got a lot of catching up to do. Thank you Thamesmen.

1970's funk music -- got to love it!

Please watch the Sign o the Times movie and the Lovesexy Live concert from 1988 (full 2 hour version) which is available on here (at the moment) which blew me away when I saw it on tv and made me a fan for life.

Rehearsed? He would drill his band so hard that he could do anything on stage at any given second. I would argue that was spontaneous.

This was the 3rd of 4 encores. Loved your reactions

Nice to see you reacting to another one of my favourites.

My favorite reaction was watching your reaction!

React to ..Shhh Prince Detroit 2004....the Guitar Solo is 🔥🔥🔥

Drummer is BADASS John Blackwell, passed away July 4, 2017 from a brain tumor. He was from South Carolina.

His guitar skills were clearly evident since he hit the scene. He was always the best guitarist … question was , Did you know ?

The Drummer was the late Great John Blackwell!

LOVED this and especially loved you two!

Good Morning! Great reaction! Now I'm energized and off to work . Have a great day!

Way too much talent for one person.

John Blackwell was the drummer. He passed away also.

Can’t believe as a fan of rock music from his time that I actually never followed Prince. And I’m from Minnesota to boot. I am a huge fan of Queen, Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac and a number of other groups but listened to one Prince song years ago, didn’t like it and gave up. Big mistake. Now if had heard this, I probably would have all his albums by now.

John Blackwell is the drummer! #rip #princealumni

Fun Fact : 47 people got pregnant by osmosis at that show. And 8 of em were dudes. 🧐

John Blackwell drummer.

oh my goodness. Outstanding. Now you must take the path that leads to George Clinton and Parlament Funkadelic

2:00 Pausing to go watch the Creep cover…be right back. Link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLKCfNdivdqVgJc.html

Please don't hate when I say he was better then Michael Jackson as a musician.

Nobody like him 🕊

could be good.. but... stop drinking

Funny for me I was never a fan of Prince. I appreciate the fact he was a great musician but there was just something about him that I couldn’t get by. This video was very good musically but the style of music was not my cup of tea.
