Prince. Crimson & Clover Live 2009

[DemonstrativeRanD]

Prince is simply a GENIUS! BRILLIANT IN EVERY WAY! He is spellbinding!

[MrFunkadelic80]

simply a GENIUS!!!

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Prince el mejor!! I LOVE PRINCE!!!

[daphnerh1984]

Ok, I'm like so weird, or either so in love, either way, I love everything about him! I just love his teeth! lol They are so cute, his smile melts me, and I love his facial expressions when he's playing the guitar. I giggle, and dance around. This song is fastly becoming a favorite of mine. Prince is gorgeous, my goodness! His body is crazy sexy and perfect, I can't believe how good he looks!! HE is hotter than all the other celebs out there, Prince is dreamy, he really is...I want him now!!

[RadiantChild1]

Prince you are the King my brother. Bless you!

[rh7189]

If you want to know what a genius sounds and looks like....you're looking at him Prince...and a total professional

[daphnerh1984]

Wow! I didn't know if I would like this or not (silly me I love everything by Prince! lol) but he tore it up!!! He is such an amazing guitar player, for me he is the best, I could listen to him play all day long and never get tired of hearing him!!! He really keeps getting better and better. And did I mention he gets hotter and hotter!!! WOW, 50 is the new 20 when it comes to Prince. He is fine wine imported for France, he gets better with age! Such class and wisdom, hmm he's sexy in glasses!

[Rockvoxxx]

Amazing arrangement, so very Prince. I never thought much of the song as it's typical simple tree chord rock of a few decades ago BUT he made it his own which is what a great cover does.

[TheMercuryEmperor]

He bursts into Hendrix for awhile at 0:48

[AnnaCullen011]

Prince's version doesn't suck like other ones I've heard. But I still prefer Joan Jett's version.

Even though i love this guitar solo!

[LaPoulton]

Prince is amazing <3

[dillon3194]

yes we should be comparing him to jimi not molester micheal.

[seandeyoung01]

I didn't much like the way the song started out but by half way through my mouth was on the floor. Wow!

[positivityforever]

@seandeyoung01

The one and only comparison 2 Hendrix is Prince's gesticulating and facial mannerisms.  After that he is in another league all his own. Remember Jimi was not versatile in terms of playing that many different musical genres as Prince.

[robfolcroft]

God that was cool. I am a metal head and trust me I listen to really nothing else but heavy metal and Prince is cool. He is really the only artist that isn't metal that I like.

[MultiShades]

Prince is always there...

[gmlasam]

Prince is an under rated guitar player. He is actually a virtuoso on the guitar that many do not give him credit for.

[submissivelover]

@gmlasam Yea, for real. He is an expret of almost 8 instruments in all...right? Maybe more...but yeah, He is one of the greatest Guitarists in music today

[debbiecakezify]

@submissivelover he is, idjk who might be the one that is considered the best guitarist of all time but 2 me n my family n friends Prince is the best guitarist and musician of all time. oh n sheila e. is so BAD!! i love her! in my opinion again, she is the greatest drummer i have ever heard n seen.

[isaiahangelo]

Prince and musical genius are synonymous

[analyssa81]

@isaiahangelo but prince didn't write this

[markell89]

them cats musta payed amillion for a prince performance

[metrakos]

Prince is so the man. With Sheila E, he is always particularly great!!!

[Dubchick15101]

Glasses? Sexy!

[mitincambridge]

Hey ya'll, is the Drummer the same person who was doing the percussion on the Leno Show (The forever now)? Man, this lady and Prince are AMAZING.

[tinglepigstickprod]

genius.

[nelsano3]

Prince is a musial god

[lilile59]

Prince reste une légende dans la musique

les tubes,les chauds qui nous donne jours aprés jours nous font vibré de plaisir

la sentation d'être dans une bulle de bonheur

Alors,PRINCE fait nous encore vibré et donne nous du plaisir à en perdre la tête

kisssssssssssssssssssssssss

[And8But]

MJ can only sing and dance. He wrote a few songs, but most of his work was producer influenced. Prince, on the other hand, has almost always been in complete control of his craft, even more than Madonna since while she got help with producers occasionally as well, he did all of this stuff on his own. AND he can sing/dance just as well as Michael Jackson, if not better.

So yeah.

[mamalied]

@And8But Prince is a badass, no doubt about it. He's a great drummer too.

[4TheMus1c]

@And8But @And8But he wrote a few songs?? are you kidding man? yes he did have some songs and hit written for him but the majority was from michael's own vision. prince and mj are both brilliant legends you cannot compare them.

[rabmusic]

Yes! Mr. Nelson. And Rhonda holding down the bottom (while chillin on the sofa). Sheila! To be surrounded by these great musicians. ...Ellen...give me that guitar!

[SMAXX34]

Sheila E. on drums!

[PhuckHue2]

sexy Rhonda on bass

[CLOVER483]

Is he taking the same pills that MJ took? boy is he getting whiter more everytime I see him?

[CLOVER483]

F Price, wanna be real musician bitches about a lady on u tube with one of his songs in the background, and filed a copyright violation just cause she posted it on the internet showing her child, he has the balls to remake a classic that is way beyond his league. I use to like Prince the artist formally know as Price now known as Prince again cause he bombed with that P.R. stunt but every since the lawsuit I have destroyed his cd's

[FURepublicans]

@CLOVER483 What are you on? Changing his name wasn't a stunt. He did it so that he could make music and not be beholden to warner brothers. Secondly, this song is not out of his league it's a beautiful remake that he got PERMISSION to use! You cannot use other people's belongings without asking and you tearing up his cd's makes no nevermind! You had to pay for them before you could tear them up!

[obabi]

@FURepublicans: just ignore that idiot...he's probably just a troll looking for attention. the symbolism behind Prince's name change is far beyond the intellect of most ppl...

[venuslnd]

Prince is the world greatest musician. He is the Art and noone will ever imitate his art. His music are so layers. I listen to his CD when I was a kid on a crappy boombox. Now I listen to the same music again on a good earphone and realized that his musics are so much more than I have heard. The layers of the instruments and the bass and drums sound so much fun. Too bad it is so damn hard to get his CD in my country. And it is way too expensive to pay for shipping around the world.

[CREWDOG289]

prince needs to just do that Jimi tribute album cause it always comes out of him noi matter what, i know out of everyone he does Jimi the best

[darlingone1000]

I love prince because he is not afraid to be different, creative, and just moves the crowd with his naturality !

[Savvynlady]

Like an act of love only through music. no lie

[bumbaluv]

damn, nice tune....Jimi is written all over this tune...music first with prince always...don't forget rhonda smith on bass, ellen

[walkbolton]

@bumbaluv jimi hendrix is not even in the same league as prince.

[1ring2rule3pigs]

He looks just like my sister!!

....I love 'em both!!

[Gumikrukon]

foxy lady parts?

[magnnum01]

Prince is probably the greatest all-rounder musician to ever walk on this face of the earth....

[NoSenss]

this is Wild Thing and Crimson and Clover mixed...hhmm....me likes

[UrbanGuerilla88]

what a fucking epic performance.

[stratguy1688]

He's ridiculously awesome!!!!!!! Sheila E on Drums!! WOW!!

[stratguy1688]

Where are his amps!!??

[GUlTARHERO3]

@stratguy1688

I've always wondered that, but he is a rich as hell guy with extremely high standards. He probably has some fancy wireless amps or something :P.

[62477get]

@stratguy1688 I am curious about that as well...

[MISSKALI69]

I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!!

[ronald2394]

I'm 63 and this lad never stops surprising me. His vids are superb....look out for the one with Larry Graham in it....another superb artist way back from Sly Stone days. Keep going lad you nearly filled my Ipod.

[misterbacon05]

@ronald2394

i liked that you called him Lad. lol.

[zacanowski]

Prince is the very best! Check out my 'wild funk improvisation' - totally Prince influenced!

[killhannahlover]

I can't get over how damn amazing he is. Not only is he one of the most creative, brilliant artists of all time, but the man is soo sexy. And come on people, why do you have to hate on MJ. Stop comparing them, they are SO different from each other and both have (or in MJ's case..had) an amazing amount of skill. I love both of them, the fans of MJ and Prince should unite for the greater good of music. 

[tukabl]

To be this cool at 51? Priceless :-)

[cyurutihs]

COMPUTERIZED GUITAR AND SHEILA E. ON DRUMS.TOOOOOMUCH!!!

[CateyGaGa]

He is beautiful!

[oliomusic]

missed this episode...WOW!!!

[onnion63]

With The Troggs "Wild Thing" thrown in at 0:50 for good measure. He just rules!

Always. Imagine him and Hendrix doing a duet. Nobody is better than this guy.

[Dubchick15101]

Hot, Gorgeous, Beautiful, Sexy... All of the Above. :)

[beeweatie]

Wonderful performance

[swissbeats2k]

[vangoghmatisse]

GREAT REMAKE< I LOVE THE ORIGINAL TOO< BUT PRINCE MAKES THE SONG SEXXY!!!

[sensational1982]

[H666]

he wrings perfection out of every note he plays.

[kikidekraai]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (52 CANDLES

[womanpowr]

One of my favorite TV performances. We got two of the funkiest women on the planet playing with the Purple One: Sheila E. on the drums and Ms. Rhonda Smith lounging back there on the couch with her bass. Dang, I almost forgot Prince was even there.

[ramirezmanson123]

@EndlessTempestas

Why research? its a matter of opinion here.

[pwebs97]

It can not get any better then this

[jorgeaguirrev]

Prince >Hendrix



[LENKAKYARA]

I love you Prince

[przekwitanie]

i would never think this song could sound that amazing *_________________* it hasn't got that magic and power on cd.

[clashnimfa]

prince=GOD

[BOB10011001]

He can actually kind of play the guitar with some skill...

[kittyphilly1]

@BOB10011001 shut the hellllll up. Thats why he's considered one of the greatest of all times. Not to mention he's a "sexy mutha f...cka".

[REALCougarsRmales]

why does he always have to make a guitar his bitch!!? wooooo!

[eclecticbgirl]

@REALCougarsRmales hahahaha! oh yeahhh :D

[cyvais]

[karbetal]

[GUlTARHERO3]

What a sexy, underappreciated musical genious.

[noahjell]

[pjmjammer]

prince needs a deal with a good comercial radio station,and bring out a great pop cd maybe with the likes of jason z alecia keys rct

[SK8BRDxxB]

i wounder what he said to her at the end there

[Abbymjj]

He doesnt give the guitar away, he throws it into audience, and they catch it, the team get it back soon enough! I caught it loads of times when he was here in England :) Was amazing.

[tamra1975]

Brilliant doesn't touch it!

[VengaBoy55]

PRINCE ROCKS!! and he looks sooo hot here..

[JenR1]

This just rocks and you can still see that this man can REALLY play! Gotta love it!

[SilverJoy47]

Prince never fails to achieve guitar artistry...pure perfection and brilliance!

[filou59]

Strat american standard Candy cola/ Maple !

[1Mellodee]

Sarah Palin plays on "Ellen"....Damn good Guitar Playing!

[NorcrossParanormal]

OMFG!!! He is still amazing and mindblowing... I am sure there is a little bit of Jimi Hendrix in him hehe...

[md3542]

:-))))))

[ALPHAWOMAN829]

YUMMY, HE IS SO YUMMY!

[craigfromnewcastle]

Ohhh Rhonda put that bass down and lye back on the settee - let me do unspeakable things to you!

She looks so beautiful with that long necked bass - she's an excellent musician too.

I like that Prince still uses musicians from his past, like Sheila E and Eric Leeds (not in this video).

He's got so much incredible footage of him though I wish he'd stop banning people from watching it - you can't even get lovesexy on dvd fux sake

[har9020]

June 23, 2007 -- Prince handed me his guitar after his afterparty concert in the lobby of the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. True story. Then a roadie came and took it away. Also a true story.

[missjuggalettehomie]

Prince is freakin gorgous, man! I mean, dayum! And his music is sweet as hell! I wish that I could see him in concert just once. Have you noticed that he never ages? I mean, he still looks as sexy as he did back in the late '70s! It's wicked!

[Vega2rck]

@missjuggalettehomie I'll see him in july!

[syncosync]

his hips look fine

[espectaculardavidrcq]

I LOVE PRINCE!!!!! EL MEJOR!!!!

[atl2maryland]

Prince is just so perfect at times! He always delivers but his ear for music is just so unique! Not to mention the guitar playing & singing.. wow

[JulietsMan]

Rhonda is so sexy on the couch. she is sexy in just about every video with prince.

[michaeljacksontruelu]

Prince is so godly sexy! :D And he has such a damn cool voice and the way he can play guitar...okay, I could go on and on lol :p :)

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Maravilloso!!! un gran genio!!!

[wisesatyr72]

Prince is the hendrix of our time..just look at the way he holds that guitar

[bretlin]

THE MAN!

[bretlin]

A TRUE PERFECTIONIST!!

[gbrown4x4]

I totally feel you on that about the bass player MrjimCharles !!!!!!!!!!!! She is BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!! Look at around 4:04 how she blushes when Ellen compliments him....She is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrJimCharles]

Both his guitar playing and his "guitar faces" are awesome - and also I'm hopelessly in love with the bass player Rhonda whatshername

[Fisherh99]

It would have been hilarious if Ellen would have attempted to play Prince's guitar. :-)

[jack5]

COOL !!!!!!

[dippiplane]

Just the best.

Love him.

[zuzarte1]

i love him!!!

[gongshowninja]

A very talented man. Still tearing it up at 51!

[TheThorazineShuffle]

a great guitar player but not the "greatest" living- Vai or some other uber-shredder is..

but great version of this song(s)-

Anyone notice that its actually crimson/clovr AND Wild Thing?? a la Hendrix??

[vanstrass]

I trust this man. o(+>

[MichaelValentine41]

Oh lord.  There are none better.

[goudeaux922]

What other artist of 30 years or more is as cool? He is just bringing himself new fans at 50 years old!

Prince is a King!

[vanstrass]

He is 2 me the greatest musician that has ever lived. Peace and B Wild

[Andruiscool]

great version of Crimson and Clover!!

[kazeihitaru]

1 of the greatest artist of all x's able2 xscape scandals! But I still have 2 say that Mr. M.J. is the greatest, Prince fan4 -42 years, when it comes 2 listening 2 music M.J. is best , didn't even block websites living/ dead , looks like he'll he best selling\listening /buy recordings of all times! 2Prince: Keep everything in the vault....Hope! public will listen 2 it / u may have 2 pay them!! loyal fan of Prince .not loyal enough 2buy album with no previews/history of other recordings!!

[glamslamcam]

@kazeihitaru - that's not loyalty at all so stop fooling yourself. and what's this MJ shit? kick rocks with that bullshit you just spat. you are no kind of fan. fucking liar.

[nickfenderuk]

Brilliant indeed. The greatest living guitar player.

[charlaymurphay1]

Nice! Dope set but what's with the glasses?

[BritiShNee1]

nice...........

[90Christin]

wow, Ellen must be short because Prince is like 156 tall (or something around, but under 160)

[BobLogan]

@90Christin yeah he's like 5'2" and she's supposed to be around 5'6". I'm thinking he's wearing some high heels and she's probably wearing converse chuck taylors or something.

[APOLONIA1996]

[gbrown4x4]

Wow really now BRomero1331 ??? I didn't know that. Is that the bass players name?? Rhonda Smith ??
