  • I'm a major Harrison and Prince fan. This really is amazing.

  • And where the hell does the guitar go?????!!!!!

  • @joshjaccard24 yes where ? maybe it was hooked to something from above :))))))))

  • Just one thought why is prince here ?

    

  • @joshjaccard24 Prince was being inducted into the Hall of Fame that evening, as well as the late George Harrison. Hence the tribute and the solo.

  • @joshjaccard24 prince was there because he's one of the top guitarist since the last 30 years

  • I realize a lot of "classic rock" fans don't really care much for Prince. Some of his music in the 90's and beyond wasn't wildly popular. BUT anybody who loves good ole rock classics simply MUST gain some respect for Prince after watching that incredible display of guitar skill. Prince is, in my opinion, one of the top ten guitarists out there today.

  • He is a monkey

  • how about tom petty he deserves some props hes the fuckin man

    

  • @kevbottheboywonder1 Agreed. He did an amazing job in his role. Very haunting.

  • and that, my friends, is why he's Prince

  • Genius, Talented, Awsome, The Greatest Ever, Amazing... and so on... I believe that Prince is above all existing adjetives..!!!

  • Stunning

  • Prince....pure genius!

  • For the ppl sayin they can do better or know someone who can than show me, put up a video response showing someone do the same song and let me see if it's better. Everybody can say they better but I wanna see it! Until that day shut up, stop hating and give Prince his props!

  • It's like song didn't start even Prince started playing. The best part is where he just walked off the stage at the end...like it was nothing. Deuces! But in truth that was a boring song.

  • Prince was the best part.

    Petty was dull, as usual.

  • I wanted to catch the guitar but was red hot!

  • Prince is amazing! Just so talented he can even make guitars disappear!

  • He taught everyone what showmanship truly is!

  • @SevanixJacksoon While My Guitar Gently Weeps, by The Beatles/George Harrison.

  • Please guys, what is the name of the song? o:

  • Holy. Fucking. Shit. He's not human, man.

  • Prince is a baaaaad mutha fukker...yo ass betta recognise. WORD

  • big disrespect to the geet at the end by princey girl, shame on u, now gettin on his knees and burnin it would be a different story.

  • 3:26

    Begin actually weeping.

  • 6:08 ninja guitar?

  • Prince is a prodigy..One of the most talented musicians in the world

  • DAMN!!! prince fucking KILLS IT!!!!! HES A BEAST, I dont care what anyone thinks!!

  • @ZombIX138 took the words outta my mouth.

  • OMG, right at the end; where the fudge did the guitar go? Looks like he threw it upwards, and it vanished

  • Don't know about you.

    I love it!!!

  • Prince is like "WTF........ let me show Clapton and Harrison how I do it"...... Sh*t eatin grin...... blows Dahni Harrison away

  • why did they even continue to sing?...shut the hell up and let him play!

  • Prince is never given enough credit with his guitar playing. and I don't care who you are, that shit were he fell back with the guy catching him was some smooth shit and anyone disagreeing is just hating lol

  • @jasonbourneabc123 Yeah because solo consist of a lot more than anything that you just listed. Go listen to some Satriana and get bent.

  • the lead was just ok.. some quick pentatonic scales a couple of blue notes with bends, a few trills & hammer on's...  average at best.... blah, blah, blah. Prince has better pieces.

  • Not even Prince's best, Ive seen him do even better solos...

  • @zmardot i been a fan since 81 and seen him i dont know how many times and to me this was the best one i ever seen him do atleast thats what i remeber thinking the night i saw this

  • Where fly the guitar? I love this performence and the incredible solo!!

  • i don't give a fxck ! prince put all dem white boys to shame ....but was a bit mmmm no class ....

  • @tubesurf17 "dem white boys"...ha wow really?

  • @dalstar925 LOL !! I know, I know..I don't even talk like that. lol. It was fun to see that little bit of prince ( I'm not a fan) ...cmon tho... Tom Petty was up there ( he Bad ) , and like others have said.. there where plenty other there who can make their ax sing and bend at their every whim ...but I don't hate on Prince... He was BAD !!! ....as in good.

  • no where near the best, not it difficulty nor fill construction not even performance

    check out this unknown air on a g string rock version piss's all over this

    any Paul Gilbert also

  • @mastodonseven fill is a typo i meant feel im not perfect

  • Prince can do anything musically.....he's a modern day Beethoven!

  • @fletch00001 lol fuck no!!!

  • everyone on the stage could have done the same thing but chose not to. as could the original soloist back in 68. but chose not to. if you know guitar, you know all flash and no substance when you see it.

  • who's on vocals?

  • @oslec1965 - Jeff Lynne from ELO (who was a good friend of Harrison's) and Tom Petty.

  • Prince IS cocky, but that's why we love him! He's knows damn well that he's a bad muthafucka. Shit, we're still talkin' about him 30 years after he stepped on the scene! he must be doin something right. I'm a member of about 25 different Prince fan pages on fb! His fam is loyal. most of the people u see at a Prince concert has been 2 multiple Prince concerts. True entertainer. The more u get, the more u want. His talent is UNDENIABLE and he knows it. Self confidence is way sexy!

  • I already knew Prince was a badass on the guitar. But damn that was good. It was almost like he was saying "every time you guys sing, I'm starting over."

  • the solo is undeniably amazing. the shenanigans on that kind of show might be a bit much.

  • I just love Tom Petty's look of disgust when he does the lean off the stage..

  • @emmyvic22 Toms just pissed because he got blown off stage.

  • George would be PROUD

  • yes guitar maybe but listen to the voices you all lost the meaning of this song

  • This performance was Prince's way of dropping his balls on everyone's face, saying "I'm Prince, bitch!", and threw his guitar to the heavens.

  • @AwollSGF THE whole package of the song is AWSOM not jus prince

  • I hate Prince, but I think its a very good guitar player.

  • Prince is a Top Player guitarist. Bravo!

  • My Prince getting down.

  • Wow! He tore shit up!

  • Mick Ronson was so good Bowie chose him. People forget about some that died too soon.

  • WOW!  Thank You for posting this.

  • To all those you who are wondering where the guitar went look at the guy at 6:13. He caught it.

  • The only thing missing in this performance is the burning of that guitar.

  • I love Prince, but he was overplaying on that one. I guess he didn't get the 'gently' part.

  • @adj7388 So true. As a guitarist, I thought the same thing. Then I remembered everything Prince does (dress, image, etc) is over the top. He's just born that way I guess. It certainly makes for incredible entertainment. But let's not forget, he got to where he is because of his relentless drive and discipline for music and his natural talent. (message to self: natural talent alone won't get you there)

  • @FLYARTWERK5 Note to self: relentless drive and discipline alone won't get you there.

  • can i buy this version somewhere? It's just amazing

  • prince, who?

    

  • I must say Prince´s performance was Super!!

  • Great guitarist, but greatest guitar solo ever? Not likely.

  • @AustraliaYouBeauty White guitar, on Tom Petty's right, bearded with hat, sang solo.

  • @simonpete1969 What's your point? This is about a guitarist not who sang what.

  • y is no one getting the irony in his cocky exit?!!^^

    prince always had that irony about him...

    people are too serious about themselves...so it's common for them to see that same attitude in every other person even when it's more about a parody of that attitude and fun

    judge about someone and tell me who you are

  • while prince's guitar aggressively wails

  • Prince is on stage? Oh yeah sorry in the shadow of JEFF LYNNE

  • @TheMacciz hardly

  • @TheMacciz Which one is Jeff Lynne?

  • Prince is okay, a good showman. But his playing is average here. Sorry, but I do play guitar very well and this was good showmanship with all the face contortions, but the playing was okay. Nothing grand.

  • Great! I'd love to hear you play. Can I see/hear you on youtube or myspace or cdbaby or someplace?

  • Prince is probably you're favorite guitarist's favorite guitarist. Amazed at folks who don't give credit for an amazing solo. The Purple One entered the hall that night and played one of the greatest solos EVER in tribute to a great song that artists love to play. If you can't give credit for one of the greatest solos? Then you're a HATER. Better yet, post a better one. And the comments about bravado...please, it's rock and roll.

  • @jdgudger fade to black has a more moving solo i think

  • what? where did his guitar go in the end??

  • and if you didin't sense any attitude in

    The Attitude Song, you're not listening...the composition matched the lyrcal subject absolutely perfectly...I love Hendrix...but i never heard him make a guitar laugh. ....these guys love Hendrix and have buillt their styles using his discoveries as a spring board to. Jimi was a great pioneer who spawned ideas to budding youn players and they eventually moved past his abilities.....

  • thanks for the response, but you couldn't be more off baseOne would have to be dead not to hear the emotion and feeling in "Cool #(9 by Satriani. who by the way is guitar teacher to the stars and is a staunch student of Jim Hendrix.

  • The greatest guitar solo ever is hyperbole. But it was definitely good.

  • pretty sure George would've Loved Prince's playing, as over th top as itmay have been

  • Say what you want, but i know this to be true, Prince is a Bad Ass musician. Check out that move around 4:35.

  • goddamnit prince is fucking cool

  • This is music people, REAL music... love it!

  • 47 people have the wrong idea about life

  • Wow. Haven't seen this in awhile. Jaw-dropping. Prince really sounds a lot like Santana in a lot places in the solo. Everyone complains about the way Prince exited the stage. I think it was kinda funny in a way. What was he supposed to do after burning up like that? Stand and smile?

    And yes, seeing Dhani standing behind Prince like that is just awesome in so many ways.

  • They're lucky he didn't come out with a bass guitar instead. They would have been vaporized.

  • Great solo, no doubt, and ego to boot. I don't think he added to the spirit of the event though. He seemed to nearly miss the ending by playing more licks and then throws and goes like it was about him! I'll probably get flack for this but that was my impression the very first time that I saw this.

  • @mrgarbonzo3

    right? This concert was a tribute to george harrison, not to prince! seriously, prince, not everything about you.

  • @KSProGamer Amen!

  • @mrgarbonzo3 It kinda was about him too. He was inducted into the HOF the same night.

  • Having Dhani Harrison onstage with them is eerily like having George himself. Gives me chills every time I see him in a performance.

  • he opened a hole in the spacetime continuum and threw his guitar in it.

  • This is, without a doubt, a great solo and was impressive - but not the 'greatest'. Stevie Ray probably got my vote on his live version of "Voodoo Chile".

  • Eric Clapton was asked who he was the best guitarist out right now this was in the last 80's he said prince but rolling stones don't even say anything about him in there top guitarist go figure

  • Who's the "Mick" Guitar Player before Prince.....he's awesome!

  • SE TE PARAN LOS PELOS DEL CULO CON ESTE SOLO , Y SEGURO QUE HARRISON DEJO CAER UNA LAGRIMA !

  • Everyone has ONE question after seeing this video: "Where did the fuckin guitar go" :)

  • @satyajitsahu Above my head, I was there in the 1st row..

  • @satyajitsahu Look right above him at 5:57 and you'll see the arms of someone perched up above to catch it. Gotta look quickly...

  • If you notice at 5:04 Tom Petty smiles at Prince. Obviously this was all rehearsed.

  • traveling wilbury's

  • Prince made me bought a tele

  • Dhani Harrison loves Prince's solo - check out the big grin on his face :)

  • Can anyone explain to me where Prince's guitar just flew off to? LOL

    Seriously, where the fuck did it go?

  • @Atron33

    Lol, i was asking the same shit, i was like "holy shit that guitar might hurt someone" and then i was like "where the fuck is the guitar", shit vanished into thin air.

  • Comment removed

  • look...i love this. it's quality stuff. but you're problem was being ridiculous to call it the greatest guitar solo ever. it may be the best that you've ever heard...but that's not our problem. i'll give you two solo's to educated your brain....."The Attitude Song" played by Steve Vai and Mile Kenealy (both Zappa proteges); and Joe Satriani's "Cool #9". you can find them right here on youtube. just give them a listen and see what the best sounds like and then go up from there.

  • @allgdpple You're argument has merit in the technical sense. The issue is in popular music it's about taste pure and simple. Vai, etc., are all great technical guitar players, but I rarely hear anything by them that makes me 'feel' anything. Such is life when it comes to music. Prince is the closest thing to Jimi Hendrix alive and breathing today. It's not about how fast you can play. It's about what are you saying with the notes.

  • Princeee,genial,exponcial artístico ele Michael Jackson!!!

    

  • That was f'n awesome.

  • This Guitar Solo is AWSOME, but I believe that the GREATEST GUITAR SOLO EVER is Prince Purple Rain Live on March 30, 1985 @ Syracuse

  • @pepejfc YES!! I was there @ the Carrierdome! O.M.G!!! That was a solo! It seemed to go on forever! Seems that everytime he plays Purple Rain, the solo is a little different from the last time. Awesome show!

  • Tom Petty is SO cool.

  • Petty's face after prince's antics .... EEEW

  • Is that Paul on organ 0.0

  • @norweigianpolarbear Steve Winwood on organ

  • @MrJamesfish Ah ok lol

  • I envy who ever caught that guitar! ;)

  • Prince straight up owned everyone's ass that was on that stage that night. Thank you.

  • @dwkline Hehehehe....Well put. :-)

  • Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win you're still retarded.

  • @slapbassify a friend of mine lost an arm. He has won three medals at the Beijing special olympics, He is not so retarded to post stupind comments on youtube. How many medals have you won in your life?

  • @strongwalker lol

  • @strongwalker Slapy took three firsts and a second at the 2008 Gay Olympics.

  • @slapbassify

    That may be one of the most intelligent things I have ever heard anyone say on the internet and definitely one of the funniest even if it was not PC and insensitive to those who are Mentally Handicapped :).

  • @slapbassify this is not right or fare for the kids running for the Special Olympics...!!!

  • @MrGeokini Your comment is not fair on the English Language.

  • ehem FUCK PRINCE

  • Haters goina hate. That shit was awesome.

  • sensationalist dribble. had to forward past the solo just to see him act like a punk bitch at the end. he's got his head up his ass. thats his gimmick though, egomania and androgeny mixed with cliche guitar lines. more like world's most cliche guitar solo. fuck prince. dont give me that "how many records have you made" bs. just cause someone makes records and climbs the charts dont mean jack shit. unless you think justin beiber is better than most. to reiterate... FUCK PRINCE

  • @solargesture FUCK YOU , cliche is calling you retarded, what you clearly are.

  • @solargesture Man, your one angry dude... Did get with your girlfriend at a concert or what?

  • @mayhski im angry cause he shit all over such a beautiful song. your loose ass girlfriend might be persuaded by a faggot ass egomaniac. my girl is the shit, she'd never stray :) you probably dont even have a girlfriend punk

  • @solargesture I bet your angry about allot of things :)

  • @mayhski you wouldnt be human if you didnt dumbass

  • @solargesture True, but i in my book some artist playing a great guitar solo on one of the most boring songs ever isn't a reason to get angry. If you want to get angry search on: 'shook me all night long' and click the second hit (celine dion), that IS something to get angry about. All the more reason i don't go there...

  • @mayhski fuck off where do you get off telling at what i can get angry about, fuck you, now youre just trolling bitch

  • @solargesture :) and before i wasn't? No , you hang up first......

  • @mayhski suck my dick

  • @solargesture Does your girlfriend know that you like to have your dick sucked by men?

  • @solargesture i bet she would stray then , right? rofl

  • @mayhski the thing is that youre not a man, so its ok

  • @solargesture Fuck Prince? WHEN? WHERE? I'm fuckin' there! Sheeee-it! U aint gotta tell ME twice! H.A.T.E.R!

  • Im not much of a Prince fan, but the solo was tasteful and fit the song beautifully. Props!

  • fck u all haters, that solo was amazing! respek!

  • clean calculated and cunning

    

  • none, doesnt change the fact he's still a moron. Desean Jackson- Prince same same = moron

  • Prince has been doing crazy solo for years but it wasn't until I saw this did I start to believe!!!

  • that solo sent chills all over my body, so cool, some Jimi some Chuck all Prince.

  • What is the point of asking one of the world's biggest stars to play lead guitar, and then singing over the top of it? How irritating. No wonder he threw the thing

  • Beautiful exit,just throw your guitar ,like my job is done here!!!!!

  • 'George' caught the guitar

  • Where did his guitar go?? back to the other side

  • When Prince is onstage, everybody else is backing him up - and I do mean everybody. Here is my case in point.

  • This is my favorite Traveling Wilburys Line up..

  • Jimi, Prince and SRV, same style? Any other?

  • @OjackironsO Like all greats, they take other people's style and incorporate their own to create something very unique that belongs only to them. But the three you mention all play very soulfully, they make you feel every note.

  • total genius Prince ruled! Look at his guitar face!
