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!!

Prince did show up to practice and Marc Mann, a studio musician who worked with Jeff Lynne, stepped on the first solo of two set aside for Prince 1:57 because it was his only shot doing anything anyone would ever see on a large stage. Prince evidently was non plussed by somebody attempting to upstage him and said he would just take the outro solo and just waited for his solo live to let everyone know who they were actually playing with 3:29.

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.
@jerseyjoe82364Ай бұрын
@@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.
@VVV-kk5ybАй бұрын
@@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.

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.
Prince did show up to practice and Marc Mann, a studio musician who worked with Jeff Lynne, stepped on the first solo of two set aside for Prince 1:57 because it was his only shot doing anything anyone would ever see on a large stage. Prince evidently was non plussed by somebody attempting to upstage him and said he would just take the outro solo and just waited for his solo live to let everyone know who they were actually playing with 3:29.

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.
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.
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!!!

@@dkb3619 Infuckingdeed...
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.

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!!!!!!!
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.
“Hey Prince, what else can you do with that guitar?” “Yes”
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

Prince was one of if not THE greatest guitar player of all time. What a beast!!

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 was from another dimension! Absolutely a musical genius. ❤
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".

George caught it.
So glad Prince got to gift this performance to the world before he passed. What a prodigy.
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
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'.
The way Prince smiles at the band during his solo is epic!!!!!
He knew it was not just about him, *and* that they were making magic.
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.
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.
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?

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 .
Who else wasn't a prince fan, watched this and thought "I need to go back and listen to all his music"?
Prince's music certainly does NOT reflect his ability to play instruments. I have listened to massive amounts of his stuff and it's not that great. Purple Rain and various early tracks are great, but all in all a far better instrumentalist than songwriter imo
🙋🏽♂️
Since I was a punk and emersed in Sex Pistols and HUSKER DU 😊, this guy came along with,, When Doves Cry .. life changing for me .👌💙🏴
@@DaddyGamerOzreally glad it's just "your opinion". Prince was a once in generation talent. The fact that he unwittedly upstaged the men beside him and showed them where rock REALLY came from was a sight to behold. Within Prince comes all that they musically come from. He stole the show for a reason.
OMG just my thought while listening to this
Prince was incomprehensibly talented. The guy could do anything. RIP
OMG! I've seen it hundreds of times - and every time I get chills and goosebumps! What a great and amazing performance! Unbelievable! Prince is God with that guitar! All of them are Legends of Music! R.I.P.!
It’s so strange how I’ve watched it 10,000 times from home in Minneapolis, Minnesota and I can’t get enough of it. The voices of Tom & Jeff sound so sweet and innocent together, and Jeff’s guitarist did his thing, but if not prince, this performance would have been just a normal rock n roll performance. All of my favs on one stage..Steve, Jeff, Tom & Prince, Thank you 🙏🏽
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 KZheads somewhere
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.
Safe to say ... this is the best cover you'll ever find.
Stairway to heaven at the Kennedy Center is right up there. When you can make Jimmy Page and Robert Plant tear 😢 up at their own song you know you done good.
as someone who has re-watched this over 500 times, I must say the following: i) Jeff Lynn's vocals are exquisite. ii) Tom Petty's vocals are perfect! iii) Steve Winwood's solos are technically immaculate. iv) the harrison kid adds something, not sure what. v) Prince's guitar solo is the most creative and virtuosic performance I have seen outside of classical music in 25 years - absolute genius! Not technically ground-breaking but musically astronomic. The reason I watch this continuously is Prince's performance, it is other-worldly.
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.

@@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!
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
Legend has it that that guitar never landed, and that Prince was reunited with it in Heaven. ✌🏼
I love seeing the interactions between Dhani and Prince. Especially since he especially requested him.
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
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!!
Prince did a guitar drop instead of a mic drop and simply walked off stage-perfect performance!!!
Prince’s outro solo - transcendent then and transcendent forever. Not possible to watch this too many times. It will always be inspiring and uplifting.
Instead of a mic drop, Prince threw the guitar back up to God, who thanked Prince for testing it out for Him.
I love this comment 😂
Great fucking comment
In this video you can actually see where it landed.

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.
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.

Eric Clapton was once asked "what's it like being the greatest guitarist ever" and Eric replied "I don't know, Ask Prince". Now that's fucking cool

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!

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.

@@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.

They all can say "I standed with Prince on this Stage " wow this is real perfection . Thank you . Seee us in Heaven
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.

Amen!
Prince was slaying it. Unbelievable!!
I feel as if Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Randy Rhoads possessed Prince that night and he entered this Avatar state of guitar playing. Or he was just Prince. Both are equally possible.
check out other Prince songs including 2014 ones
Ughh Stevie Ray 😍 what a musician
Actually as Prince said many a time his fav rock band was Led Zep and his ultimate guitar hero was Jimmy Page....hell, good for him, cause really he could not find better!
Prince was THE avatar of musicians. He got the moves of Brown, guitar playing of Hendrix, singing of every member in The Temptations, grooves of Stevie Wonder and the macho-ness of Elvis Presley. He was a package.
Yeah he was just being prince
He made the performance he’s own… the definition of the word artist..
Fun fact: Anytime Prince walked on the stage he was the best player of any instrument on that stage.
He played 27 different instruments!!!
@@stacyann825 by the time of his death he played well over 1000
@@realamericannegro977 Have you ever thought how ironic it is that he died in an elevator?
@@stacyann825 right where nobody can see it.

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.
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.💖
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.
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

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.
The NY Times did a story about this performance shortly after Prince's death, and there was a great quote from Petty in it referring to the smiles he and Prince exchanged on stage during his solo. “You see me nodding at him, to say, ‘Go on, go on,’” Petty said. “I remember I leaned out at him at one point and gave him a ‘This is going great!’ kind of look. “He just burned it up. You could feel the electricity of ‘something really big’s going down here.’”
Wow. The only (and last) time you see PRINCE and TOM play together. Rip, guys.💜🕊️
@joiisler8986 Have mercy!! We can't keep them forever but we have these great memories.
@@TallDocK I didn’t say we Could. But I think Most of us would like to live longer than they did. Just saying.
A genuine musician with a guitar which gently weeps...
I am so lucky to grow up in an age of Prince, Michael, Tom Petty...et al....those giys on the stage were legends but Prince transended legend......in his own category and was having the time of his life......le walked off the stage like....that is how you do it!!
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.
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.
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 KZhead comment is even more crazy. 2024 and Prince is still gaining new fans because of this performance 20 years ago. Rightly so 😎
George Harrison, Prince, Tom Petty you will always be remembered ❤
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.
