Aynsley Lister Band - Purple Rain - Glastonbury 2010

[ewankenobi22]

left my friends to get an early night after an all day drive thinking I'd pace myself since it would be a long weekend. Wandered past this tent, was drawn like a sailor to a siren by the wailing guitar, ended up in the front row going mental then being last back at the tent, after worrying all my friends and buying a cd enroute (which is till cherised).

Been to so manygigs I can never say which is my favourite, but this is my most pleasant surprise (Passion Pit at the same event is a close 2nd)

[tidefootball27]

Its a shame such an amazing performance has to be greeted by a crowd with the usual idiots talking and screaming at nothing, just to be heard.

[josevilasanta]

The bass guitar is from Portugal. Her name is Midus.

[radigass]

I have heard alot of covers of PURPLE RAIN.. but DAM this one is the best i've heard!!!!

[RobRiley78]

Went to see ALB a couple of years back. I've seen a gazillion bands and great guitar players. They blew me away.

[mrwp819300]

Absolutely the best cover I have ever heard live....Price should have sold that song long ago..You guys are actually as good as he did it!!

[portugalcass]

nice, one son,  looking forward to seeing you tomoz.,,,,maryport. great stuff.

[ewankenobi22]

being from Scotland I had a massive drive to reach Glastonbury, left my friends to go to bed on the first night, thought I'd pace myself as it was going to be a long weekend, walked past this tent, got drawn in, was there for whole gig, bought a cd to commerate it and was last back to the tent of all my friends.

Sensational night, Ainsley is a genious!

[ollanderparker]

I was worried at first but my man handle that Guitar solo.

[artwork49er]

marvellous cover! great guitar work.

[MrKEWright]

Love it, we caught Ainsley in this late night session at Glasto - what a gem!! great stage presence and plays with such feeling.... i think the highlight of the festival for me!!

[radigass]

bad ass cover!!! Love it!

[29pu04]

[StarBlues101]

[constantinosbassman]

Great Tune AMAZING performance!!..TOO bad The Crowd was SOOOOO DRUNK

[wwhk33]

Brilliant filming and sounding....very interesting bluesy parts on this wonderful song....a class act tribute to Prince, really..;you can be proud, lot of feeling, here...

[iamyourgod1988]

Midus is beautiful lol, one of the best female bassists on earth!

[bluegreenius]

the guy is brilliant.....ive just got a dvd aynesley lister live....it was of a rockpalast concert he did in 2004...its awesome...very highly recommended.

[betwsphil]

Just saw Aynsley and the band do this at Linton Music festival - magic !!



[SamHerrington14]

So much better then Prince.

[p1ippers]

nice



[juniorrabellotvox]

bom demais



[juniorzoon]

muito bom parabens a todos da banda

[ExaggeratedGrip]

Gonna be working in this bar this year selling merch. Wondered what it looked like so thanks for the excellent vid. Oughta be a special few days :-)

[mouthmw]

Nice, I dig it! And your bassits is using a GK + Ampeg combination like me! Awesome! Is that a GK 700RB-II? Love the tone.

[dnahsnam]

awesome band ,. seen em twice at spiders web 10-15 years ago.

[DrCavePhD]

Amazing! Heard this playing in the pub a few weeks back and instantly recognised it. Can't wait to see Aynsley live this year for the first time.

[TheChief158]

Love how his red guitar looks pink in those lights

[DTrezz]

greatest cover of any song of all time

[TheRockVirtuoso]

Fantastic track and to do Prince covers you really have to be top notch. Aynsley absolutely rocks the roof off! Great stuff!

[popoaggie]

Heard this guy about 12 years ago when he was really young and he blew me away.  Lost track of him till now. Great to here him again.

[shellsangel007]

I <3 Aynsley!

[gearhart2009]

I hope this young fellow is having great success. I love his rendition of this Prince classic.

[TheHabit00]

HE CANT SING FOR SHIT!

[Shred0Impact]

prince shoulg b proud. this shit is dead on

[adicts89]

is this guy signed by a label?

[YankeeChapleau]

It would have been rad if someone else did the solo. This kid is REALLY good at riffing and soloing through the whole song, but as far as an all out guitar solo, it would have been cool for him to maybe get in with the crowd a bit and take the chance to do a simple rhythm! Maybe the keyboardest do a huge solo or someone else comes out. Doing a solo in Purple Rain you gotta put your whole being and emotion into it! Really good cover.

[mrduffster71]

I must have been stood behind and to left of you.. that was a great night!!

[mrduffster71]

I must have been stood behind and to the left of you!! I remember that night very well indeed.... Fantastic gig

[Kvakkus123]

Like it !! Fantastic version of the song, saw the band myself live at Dingwalls in London last year :)

[MrGuitarplayer184]

seen him with some of my mates a few weeks ago at the citadel.

great voice. great guitarist. great music.

[digoutursoul1980]

[peaky1988]

[peaky1988]

just seen them in bury with the new drummer! brilliant

[TheKatyLavigne]

perfect!

[GianManx]

Aynsley is one of the artists that I really love and I'll never be tired of listening him! I saw two years ago in Austria and it was a great evening seeing one of the front man I've seen (and I saw lots of concerts and people in concert) that I appreciated so much for the things he does in his way to play guitar and singing.

[IlliniJake]

one of those songs you just do not mess with, but if you are going to mess with it do it in this fashion. excellent

[quadra2perpignan]

top

[starrchild99]

Sheer class...

[pboybad]

Awesome.  Best British guitar player around, I reckon

[CherryBurstLesPaul]

@pboybad What about Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore? Alright, Aynsley is pretty good! :D

[pboybad]

@CherryBurstLesPaul Take your point, I really don't rate those guys very highly myself - but if I told you my fave players are EVH, Paul Gilbert and Slash it might say more about my own tastes rather than the quality of their playing!

[h3613332]

Great performance!!

[gaelicbanshee]

Love Aynsley---great tone, cool guitars. He is a monster.

Who is the bassist? She is cute.

[gazzaboy2531977]

man a blues song if i ever heard one

[gazzaboy2531977]

awesome stuff

[darkmetallica]

can i ask what camera you used? it's amazing, love aynsley seen him twice now, once without his band and once with... completely different animal without his band, loved it, love him with his band too though of course

[BadlyDoneEmma]

@darkmetallica

The camera is a Panasonic TZ7 (ZS3 in the US). I uploaded the M2TS camera file without any alteration or editing and let Youtube convert it - to get the best quality. It took about 4 hours to upload :-)

[darkmetallica]

@BadlyDoneEmma

cool, thankyou

[Aljax21]

Aynsley lister is a million times better than most of the crap they show on the tv footage of glasto mind you stevie wonder was cool but i saw no aynsley WHY?

[9874col]

great vid.................aynsley is quality

[Tripsybon]

very WellDoneEmma :)) Glad you enjoyed the music. Did you get any more footage from the Bourbon Stage?

[BadlyDoneEmma]

@Tripsybon Only a couple of short clips of Aynsley. I wish I had taken more...

[Merseydiver1]

Aynsley and his band are one of the UK's brightest hopes. Get to see them whenever you can!

[trapdoortraveller]

Thanks Emma for posting ! It was June though, 24th July is my birthday : O)

[BadlyDoneEmma]

@trapdoortraveller

You're right! It must be down to the vodka...

[kaybu974]
