Prince - Empty Room - Live on the Hohner Madcat Telecaster

[timzp]

One of the best live Prince performances on Youtube

[leoshiajr]

Those Guitargasms!!

[janethqvideos]

he is the best ever!

[luckluc]

@LemonCrushMusic A luthier is free to use anything he wants to make the instrument sound better.

Hohner olso helped Prince out with madcat guitar and hardware parts.

[creamyapanties]

Yeah, he's gonna shut this vid down as soon as he finds out about it.

[xxtasha10xx]

Still looks the same from nearly 30 years ago.Just different hairstyle and clothing.

[timzp]

1.52. Oh never never never girl. I love you

[Live2Listen0304]

Just when I think I've got all his releases, I find something new. This is a lovely song, beautiful solo. Prince is mad prolific.

[pmay222]

superb... the guitar playing...the style.....

[pfalconer]

Wot @dreamfactory86 sed.

[dreamfactory86]

Empty Room. Freaking amazing.

[jamonit111]

DAMN!!!

[OpenEyesProd]

Prince is a god of music....not from this world

[bobbypringle]

That is fantastic - Loved this song anyways but this is a magic performance.

This man's effortlessness makes me laugh - how can one man be soooo talented???

But I guess the talent shows and the likes of Mr Cowell are keeping the conveyor belt alive with talent - Mmmmm....... ;-)

[timzp]

Thanks for taking the time to upload this. Perfect

[hstar81]

I looove this man!! I think he is the most talented man ever!

[hyaseen]

Just the coolest thing on the planet

[mrshail8467]

Too damn sexy!!!!! He is the greatest performer.

[matonmagic]

I'm having a Prince re awakening. Getting my hands on anything I can. This may sound stupid but WHERE IN THE BLINKY BITS IS HIS WEBSITE? I love his musicality. The power above blessed him and blessed you to be able to be so close and film. Im glad they didn't stop you. We benefitted. THANKYOU.

[princefan1995]

@matonmagic he no longer has a website.... in his words, "the internet is dead". there r a fu fan-driven pages on facebook, a couple of the better b-ing people with purple passin 2 (II), and purple music gets me high.

he took down his sites back in 2010.... so, 2 follow him, his fans have 2 b a little sneaky, lol!

[emcleod2192]

An emotional performance for Prince.......he appears vulnerbale here......maybe it's the lyrics. I send him a big bear hug!

[MaggotBrain10]

How do you know Sadowsky built that guitar and that it's not his old Hohner?

[luckluc]

@MaggotBrain10

When Prince needed custom guitars for his Purple Rain tour in l984, he contacted luthier Roger Sadowsky. The commission called for two electric guitars. Sadowsky took the job.

Googl

[geosh78]

@luckluc Prince picked up his madcat in a pawnshop bcuz of the natural distortion, and he coudln't put in down, the rest is history. Where'd the Sadowsky remake story come from?

[LemonCrushMusic]

@luckluc Sadowsky made 2 blue Teles with flowers on it, he didn't build replicas of the Maple Tele. There are videos of him playing them on the Parade Tour

[luckluc]

@LemonCrushMusic The guitars I made for Prince that were intended to replicate his Hohner had an ash body. I made a top of flame maple with a walnut strip in the center. The neck and fingerboard were maple.

I am planning to write more about my Prince adventures on my blog, as soon as I can find the time.

[LemonCrushMusic]

@luckluc Hohners had maple bodies, not Ash. The originals and reissues all had maple bodies. Honers MadCats never had Ash Bodies

[luckluc]

@LemonCrushMusic Roger used Ash for better tone and sound

[cotimeconsumer]

@MaggotBrain10 His Hohner was stolen long ago

[gclay40]

Enjoy this video now. It won't be up for long.

[spdrmc1042]

M.Jackson is a great performer GTMOVS.................but Prince, he has it in him and playing from a place only few have achieve within!! Glad he is of this decade

[Helios601]

wish he would just sing as the original, messes around too much at times, the original needs no altering so leave it lol

[stevescasa]

Can't understand how Michael was installed as the King of Pop or anything else with Prince alive at the time. Shit what's a guy have to do? Plays every usable instrument in rock music, writes, produces and performs, plus does the same for his films. The title King of Pop sure means less once you see Prince live!

[MrJacksonvill]

@stevescasa the difference is no didderence..MJ did not give himself that Lable..He earned it..and if you listen closely and watch MJ..you know why..he is considered the "Greatest"..Prince is for the "Greatest Musiician Alive" Simply the Greatest Musician to do the Game!

[Nathrockandskate]

Matt Rach is not the " futur Hendrix " -> It's Prince ! <3

[sciopadore]

Sorry dude, i won't feel sorry for you this time, I think my room is a lot more empty than yours at the moment ! gdaimn if I could only play anything like that! u bitch ass lookin mudafukka rule!

[sciopadore]

Sorry dude, i won't feel sorry for you this time, I think my room is a lot more empty than yours at the moment ! gdaimn if I could only play anything like that! u bitch ass lookin mudafukka rule!

[electricrabbit83]

I died

[MsTiffLee73]

Have I told every1 that I LOVE THIS MAN...been n love w/him since I was 8 yrs old...

[SuperRalph99]

One of the greats....no question

[ukp2006]

The room was packed, not empty!

[7archangels2]

HOLLA!!

Music only

[OpenEyesProdTv]

incredible song

[craigfromnewcastle]

This is nothing for Prince - he's capable of far greater things, as nice as this is.

I've got the original - actually no - the 2nd release of that guitar - the Hohner telecaster, from the '80s :)

Yea - Prince is one of the few remaining true artists on our planet - pls don't wait for him to die as well b4 you look in to his music.

[solar2005]

The Master!!! How can someone be so good??

[LittelOldPrince]

I was there it was cool, never heard him play it before, I got goose bumps all over.

Just super super

[KBMCINTERNETRADIO]

Can MTV/ Prince play this: "Steve Vai / Building The Church."? Nope!

[aar0ncw]

@KBMCINTERNETRADIO Can Steve Vai perform Purple Rain??? No

[kalifunky1]

The prince's last works are better than the first. Ten years from now will say that Planet Earth is a masterpiece. When he came The gold experience said it was awful, now they say it is a very good job. Always the same story.

[tarabumla]

Mr. Nelson #1 guitarist nowadays

[ajahni]

If you play guitar you know HOW DIFFICULT it is to move all over the place not look at the fretboard and be accurate with hitting the right note at the right time.  Prince is truly at one with his instrument and expression. God in Music... Prince!!!

[Killieguy84]

1 person needs to get out their "empty room"

[phunkidruma]

truly the mozart of our times....sheer genius, simply put!!

[coussssss]

this is really more than amazing... yep... the greatest performer of all time... simply WOW !!!

[ReekoChet]

Dammit.....! A Big Thumbs Up to who ever took the video. Aside from low sound quality, obviously a camera feature, I still give a an A+ and another A+ for concentration.

[Princemusiq]

"empty room" live is gorgeous!!!! Please people look for his live concert/aftershow boots on the web his "live" reworks to some of his songs "UNBELIEVABLE"....

[xenonfear]

@OakPark11MileRd

dude, seriously. you need a hug.

cheer up a bit.

[nancyderks]

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FEEL HIM !!

[timzp]

the closest thing we have to hendrix

[milalukic]

I saw him in Copenhagen last weekend and I have never seen a better, nor more humble, musician, who after almost 35 years of active performance, visibly LOVES what he does! Absolutely incredible!

[timzp]

@OakPark11MileRd So you know my musical tastes do you?

I guarantee you they are more eclectic and broad than yours

[timzp]

@OakPark11MileRd Change medication

[timzp]

@OakPark11MileRd

You are a backwards thinking tool. Most of the music in the 80's was kick drum. 1999 was brilliant in the 80's and still sounds great now. Nothing else he did after that was "kick drum" and that was 83 so your comment makes no sense. Plus if you find him trite why did you bother clicking on this video. This performance is epic

[timzp]

Where can I find this song?

[timzp]

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been under his spell since 83. This is one of my favorite clips I have seen

[timzp]

Love the out breath at 2:14

[Purplemuz]

One of my favorite Prince songs....he has hundred's of songs better than anything he has released on albums that hardly anyone has heard before and have never been released. So talented and gifted...we better enjoy Prince while he is still tourning and on this earth. Won't be another like him for a long time! Incredible version of Empty Room!!!

[bolder2009]

@OakPark11MileRd Was Lady T the opening act on that tour? Personally I prefer Prince when he wasn't performing in underwear. But that's just me.

[bolder2009]

@OakPark11MileRd Yeah but on stage he is still killing it! His level of live performance is so far ahead of the rest. Go find the boot of his recent Hop Farm Festival performance. Its not about the albums anymore, cause I personally feel that its hit and miss. But on stage? No one touches him.

[ciaranc001]

Astonishing footage!!! OMG!! That was an amazing number! He sooo still has it in spades!!!

[shenriquen1]

He is coming to Brazil this month! I just can't loose the show of this incredible artist.

[jovestar]

Love u prince! Wish I was there. Awesome.

[jdombey]

I saw his show one week ago in Helsinki. Absolutely brilliant. The best . And his girls also...

[JohnnyDeppsGirl101]

I love when he clicks his tongue like @ 2:50 !!!!!

[timzp]

@JohnnyDeppsGirl101 Yeah, me too. A bit of a trademark isnt it?

[timzp]

Thanks for uploading this. Prince as always looks and sounds amazing

[WajinTom]

I saw him in Paris 2 weeks ago... I thought Michael Jackson was the best performer... I was wrong...

[ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn]

@WajinTom dude u missed prince in the 80s...now hes shit compared to back then.

[Reezer83]

@WajinTom i thought it too for years saw him last november. the man is the school example for an artist , plays instruments writes his own lyrics, sings live , improvisations on any instrument he can get his hands on , the man truly is a legend , i was in London and a guy was talking bad about Prince , and his favourite band was Oasis , i said him , why like a band that wrote 1 good song and don't like Prince who has about 300 good songs lol

[MajorYT]

@WajinTom Hate it when people say that. They both do different things, can't be compared. Prince can't do what MJ does and vice versa.

[Natefunk49]

@WajinTom Mike was! he's no longer here...when you leave someone will take your place.all vacancies are filled

[jkj10]

@WajinTom : Too easy,sorry...what made you think that MJ was the best performer then?..Sure, not a bad dancer for a singer, and not a bad singer for a dancer, but combined?

But I have to say, at least you make some sense these days ;-)

[catboyzee]

Prince is 50+yo. At some point all the dancing, singing, and performing takes its toll. And though he's doesn't dance and do splits like he did back in the PR days, he's still killing it.

[GTMOVS]

The greatest performer of all time

[senanmcclosk]

Shocking

[SFT24]

This was in Herning, Denmark, October 22nd last year. I was right up front. Amazing concert.

[Helios601]

i dont like it cause he;s going through the motions, just stick to the original theme of the song, too different here as it just becomes a different song entirely as rince renditions them to hell, too much a times

[KingOfUm]

I have a copy of the studio recording of this track, definitely sounds better live, you have to respect the fact that Prince doesn't simply play just the hits.

[ladychelle4everyoung]

Prince while i lay at night alone in my empty room i think of you! Love you Prince! Ladychelle,

[daphnerh1984]

OMG!!! I was there!!! I can hear myself screaming, I was right up to the stage. That is me with that constant scream! lol he is SOOOOOO beautiful in person, I can't believe how gorgeous he is in person. I almost fainted when he came out, he is a vision of beauty. This is so awesome, what a treat. Great memory from Denmark!

[packleader1215]

Anyone know about the PURPLEYODA7 channel - It's got 2 clips for the "2ONE Night Stand" concert series

[jaimie8181]

Damn Prince...you a badmothashutyomouth

[mika62223]

I love this Song!Thx Prince

[OpenEyesProd]
