Gen X mom here - you've just found the tip of the iceberg. Prince was a musical genius on so many levels, and a force of nature. He's dearly missed.

He sure is. So sadly gone too soon! I miss him! Glad his legacy lives on with younger kids discovering his magic! I love to see this!!! xo

Musical genius for sure - he wrote all his songs, and at times played ALL the instruments on his albums.

Why? Why is there always someone saying that, that has nothing to do with their musical talent, in every reaction? Such an insistence! More energy than Prince in his 20s! But above all, such impressive originality commenting...

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Prince was not like Michael Jackson except that they were both famous during the same time. Prince played 20+ instruments, wrote all his own songs, produced them himself & on a bunch of his earlier albums played every instrument on every song. He was the youngest producer on his label at the time, at 19 yrs old. He also wrote huge hits for other famous artists, created multiple other bands and wrote almost all their music just as an outlet for his different sounds, played all types of genres, had and incredible voice, could dance his ass off & didn't imitate Michael Jackson whatsoever. He took inspiration from Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone etc. Idolized Chaka Khan and Joni Mitchell etc. He was a singular artist.

[@marniebaker-winnick2296]

[@cmberrian]

Hey y'all, old man here who was a 15 year old kid at this concert. Glad to see you enjoying it so much. Keep in mind this whole segment was his first encore after already doing a killer 90 minute show. I was in about the tenth row on the floor and we were all standing on our chairs groovin. 50k people. It was quite the event. But let me tell you, this is even the tip of the iceberg, Prince left behind a whole universe of music. Literally a couple thousand great songs. Wait till you hear him play the guitar....or the piano....or the bass....or the drums...or ....😊

[@kategarcia4301]

Thank you for your input. You must have had a great time. Hope your dancing in your seat

[@yvvie1414]

Me too! Changed my life.

[@mlb235nyc]

I am sooo glad that I got to see him live in concert, too. Nothing like it - live! And the icing on the cake was being in the nosebleed section like I was, and having him come from behind you to smile at you, just a hand space away. He loved connecting with his audience and wanted to make sure EVERYONE enjoyed the show. I never had an artist come up close to those of us in the nosebleed section. That's pure love of his artistry and his fanbase.

[@missmike3693]

You better preach!! 💯💯💯

[@cmberrian]

@@mlb235nyc it's funny you mentioned that, I remember seeing him do that from the front. His stage set at that time was designed with staircases on either side that led to platforms in the front on either side but also to a raised walkway above and behind the drums that he kept going up to, so he could interact with the people that were sitting behind the stage. That was a new thing back then that they only started doing for the really big artist that would sell like 48 thousand tickets in on hour, that is, selling the seats behind the stage, people knew they would be not the best seats but didn't care, just as long as they could go. I don't remember the exact details for the Prince concert as far as how long it took to sell out but it wasn't more than a couple of hours, so they added the seats behind the stage for the show in my hometown (Syracuse NY). I seem to remember that they sometimes didn't decide to add those seats til after the fact. I'm pretty sure it was like that for Prince. Back during the Purple Rain days, there weren't a whole ton of acts that could sell out the big football stadiums, most groups would play at your local wall memorial, or whatever, the 10-15k hockey stadiums, in the early 80s at the gigantic place (Carrier Dome in Syracuse) it was the Stones, the Who, Genesis, Prince, the Grateful Dead, the Police, Bruce Springsteen, and later U2 and Pink Floyd that I remember as the only shows big enough to play at the Dome.

[@annaldwhigg6870]

Prince never held back at his concerts. They were out of this world. He played basketball with those high heels AND WON!!!

I’m a 70yr old white girl, welcome to my generation, it was a BLAST! While watching you watch Prince I laughed and cried, (literally, at your reactions, &bcuz he is missed). He was a musical genius but then there were so many more genius’s from the late 60’s to the late 80’s, a phenomena never to happen again, sadly.

[@l.baughman1445]

And in this clip he didn’t play his guitar. Babe, he played everything. No auto tune for that man.

Gen Xer here. Prince had that high singing voice, that sultry low talking voice and he could act and play just about any instrument put in front of him. He was amazing at everything he did. Such a powerhouse in a small frame. He wore heels better than I ever have my whole life. When Doves Cry was my favorite song of his. Thank you for showing him the respect he deserves. He is surely missed 💜

Prince was still a teenager when he released his debut album "For You." He recorded every instrument, all vocals, wrote every song and produced the album. He's untouchable!

[@marypanich9880]

“For you” changed my life…His studio music is beautiful but he was a whirlwind on the stage. I saw him live and will never forget it!

[@jackrenolyds933]

MJ and Prince are unbelievable but for me, Prince was the modern Day Mozart. He did everything……………

[@enricaalbaro1490]

Actually he was a more talented than mozart. Mozart is only given credit for playing roughly 5 to 7 instruments. Prince played 27 + instruments. He might not be the greatest guitarists of all time are the greatest singer of all time but no one can deny that he is the greatest musician that ever was. Period. It is said that if he released a new album every month it would still take more than 20 years to release all the music in his vault that he himself wrote. He didn't just write for himself he wrote for a ton of other artists in many genres but his favorite thing to do was to write for the ladies.

[@darrencarter9812]

@@enricaalbaro1490 I Love Prince and recognize that he was incredibly talented, but comparing him to Mozart and saying he was more talented is kind of silly. Mozart was composing music when he was 5 years old and completed his first symphony at age 8. He didn't write arrangements for a 4 piece band, he wrote concertos, operas, and symphony arrangements. He died at 35 and his music is being played and celebrated over 200 years after his death. He is simply one of the greatest and most influential classical composers of all time - defininately top 3 alongside Bach and Beethoven. Prince was a pop star with a lot of talent. Mozart wrote "The Marriage of FIgaro" and "The Magic Flute." Prince wrote "Darling Nicky" and "Purple Rain." Comparing the two in terms of talent is lunacy.

[@erinhafer228]

100%!

[@enricaalbaro1490]

@@darrencarter9812 Though I am silly at times I don't think that this is one of them. Prince wrote way more than just pop songs and way more than just for himself. He wrote many many songs for different artists, to include Kenny Rogers. It's estimated that if all of the music from his vault was released at the rate of several albums a year, it would still take decades to exhaust the vault! It is true that Prince was not a child prodigy; he was however a teen prodigy (completely self-taught). He got his first record contract at like 16 or 17. Now there hasn't been a couple of centuries so I can't say how influential and appreciated his music will be a few centuries in the future. But I think if humans still walk the Earth or the space station then it very well might be the case. My comment wasn't made to minimize Mozart's achievements. It was made to illustrate how diverse, talented, and lesser known Prince talents are.

He could play almost any instrument, wrote his own lyrics, composed his own songs, was the best guitarist - watch his performance at the memorial for George HArrison - So proud of our Minnesota Boy.

[@erikapeterman8672]

The Opry for Harrison’s memorial was so good. I can’t stand it.

[@MsMelosK]

Sweetie, he was playing the guitar at the end. Prince is one of the Top 10 Guitar 🎸 Players of ALL TIME RIP 💜

[@kendallneason3645]

I promise you’ve heard a Prince song. He was a prolific songwriter and often sold songs to people who he thought were talents. His shows were energetic and full of all kinds of different styles and instruments. He sang, danced, played piano, and could shred a guitar. He changed the way people expected to get in a concert and unlike most men he hired many talented women musicians which I always respected. He as our 20th century American Motzart. Keep checking out his music. He was talented and unique. Born to be a musician. Best football halftime show ever.

Prince did all of that dancing in 3” heels too!! he was literally the GOAT!

[@anthonymoody6711]

6" heels.

Prince was music personified. I am so grateful to have grown up Gen X. I still have my copy of Purple Rain on vinyl.

[@amymoorehead7185]

A musical genius, PRINCE was his given BIRTH NAME, not a stage name. He played all instruments and was one of the best performers EVER!

Prince's Superbowl performance in the rain is one of the best performances ever captured.

No, legitemately from another planet. A starseed for sure.

[@kellyhawkes3191]

Prince was a an actual genius.

[@sallysharp3845]

His song "1999" was another huge hit for Prince.

[@davidw7]

Yes.... and it came out in the 80s also.... not knowing that Y2K fears would put another reason to party like 1999 might have had global computers crashing if the fix was not in for them to change to 2000..... of course that crash did not happen.

[@sglenn63]

That whole album was awesome.

[@darryld7889]

You've just witnessed one of the greatest artists, writers, producers, arrangers, composers, and guitarists of all time, young fella. We love Gen Z. We need you to look back and see where you came from

[@melissaskinner4501]

His stage presence comes from his love of James Brown.Prince is always in my top 10 of all time!

[@paulettecole9482]

Prince could play every instrument ! You have to listen to Purple Rain! You won't be disappointed. 😂😊😅

[@marniebaker-winnick2296]

I hope he does! I would love to see his face listening to that album for the first time.

[@baimun]

Gen-X here… welcome 2 the Prince Experience. He played all the instruments (Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums, Sax, etc) on his debut album and over his prolific career wrote and performed rock, funk, jazz, hip hop, and so many genres that you could spend a month reacting to his tracks and not even scratch the surface. He performed the greatest superbowl halftime show ever (in the rain), and many guitarists didn’t realize how good he was until his Rock and Roll hall of fame performance. If you watch the live performance from Sign O The Times (Beautiful Night) when Sheila E gets up from the drums to perform a rap, he takes over on drums. Even years after his passing we are still uncovering his genius as he left THOUSANDS of unreleased tracks in his vault. ☮️❤️🎶

[@bizaro2281]

Prince on guitar is crazy!

This is what WE had back in the day young man! SO glad to have grown up in the era of the greatest musician / entertainer EVER. R.I.P. Prince.

He’s a entertainer! He’s an Artist! Great first Vid to find out who this fantastic Artist is.

[@PrinceDepeche]

The greatest musician of our times....

[@marniebaker-winnick2296]

Prince was not only an entertainer, but he was an athlete. You kind of have to be if you are a touring musician. I had the honor to see Prince live in 1985 and in 2002. He was a God, no other way to explain him.

[@paschamaryalophand9200]

Thank you to whoever introduced Prince to you! Great reaction! Prince was a master musician and entertainer. He has a massive catalog so enjoy the journey but bring your energy!!!

[@HellsBells1710]

Ha ha it was me who suggested Prince and I did advise of him being a multi instrumentalist and doing small private shows after his concerts. I thought this captured his awesomeness xx

[@paschamaryalophand9200]

@@HellsBells1710 Yes, His Royal Purple Badness shows well in this performance! Can’t recommend his version of Play that Fonky Music enough as well! He is amazing!!!

What I admired most of Prince is the songs he wrote for others. He shared his talent. A musical genius ❤

[@debraanchante3661]

The best concert I’ve ever been to was a Prince concert.. whew!! What a show!!

[@heathercarper5921]

Prince's Halftime show has set the bar above ALL OTHERS. A close second is his guitar solo inducting George Harrison into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Be sure to look for the newer extended cut

[@patricejones7905]

Prince could play every instrument on that stage. He wrote his own songs and own his masters.

[@glynnborders762]

Prince is the greatest of all time. He taught himself to play 21 instruments by the time he was 17. Absolute genius. Plus he writes and sings well.

Prince was a genius ,dancer,actor,27 or more instruments, investor,singer etc. Plus he's fine

[@Mikef23819]

He was only 5'4" but he toward over all of his peers. I bought his first album "Dirty Mind" back in 1980 and saw him live at the Charlotte Coliseum in "81" I'd never seen or heard anything like them. He passed in 2016, and the world is a much bleaker place. No lip-syncing, no auto-tune, just a natural talent!

[@stephaniemoore6054]

YESSSSSS....61 here and welcome to our world of music!!!!

You have just witnessed the best and most talented live performer of all time. This is one of many incredible appearances. It's nice to see young people discovering Prince. He is the Mozart of our generation! A real Genius! Great reaction👍🏾

[@zazagirl3373]

As a fellow Gen Zer i am the hugest Prince fan in the world, he is certainly in my top 3 artists. Along with Kendrick, Ariana Grande & Utada Hikaru. Prince will keep surprising you btw the man played over 21 instruments, produced, wrote, performed, arranged all his music. Prince is also a great rapper as well. Get off, Sexy M.F., Facedown, NOW, are just a few best examples. He is our Mozart. LOVE from Kyoto Japan 🤗

[@lauriedengel7988]

I was lucky enough to see him live 3 times, the man and his bands were truly amazing. There is nothing like a dark arena and the first chords of Purple Rain playing. The woman on guitar was Wendy Melvoin, one half of the duo Wendy and Lisa, Lisa played keyboards. The percussionist is Sheila E, he himself played 27 instruments.

[@jallenjo69]

You are hilarious...watching Prince with all his undeniable energy made you so thirsty, you had to get your Evian water😅😅😅

He's considered one of the best guitarists of my generation. You really need to dive I to the rabbit hole. His whole 1999 and Purple Rain albums are amazing.

[@travelingwithvanessa]

Prince was a few months older than I am. His father was a musical genius. With such DNA, Prince naturally gravitated towards music. Sadly, his home life wasn't great. Music became his escape. Music set his mind and heart free to simply be "Prince," with no labels or restrictions. We grew up with original musical geniuses like B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, James Brown, Little Richard and Stevie Wonder. The path of extraordinary Black musicians had already been laid. Prince, combined all of their styles then brought to the world a 28 instrument playing musical maestro who could also write, compose, produce, dance, sing and entertain on an extraordinary virtuoso-level. No one will ever come close to exhibiting the God-given talents of Prince. Rest in peace, Mr. Nelson. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 You are beloved and missed. 💜💜💜💜
