GUITAR SOLO REACTIONS ~ PRINCE ~ All the Critics Love You

[@Browzer01]

"I ain't about to argue with BB King but uh....." that bit blew me away.

[@michaelhammond7115]

Not too many artists have a solo with just one note extended for bars and bars

[@darrencoppin1293]

Hi Brian This is from the same show as stratus and all shook up. You should check out the whole concert show 2 from 2009 It’s probably the best prince concert I have ever seen along with the 2013 set show 2 with 3rd eye girl also montraux

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Hi Darren, I will definitely check it out.

[@danielcowan8673]

Prince is saying "body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit". It's a lyric in the song. The song is All The Critics Love U in New York, from the 1999 album. It's Rhonda Smith on bass. I love how touched and moved you are by Prince's music. He sure embodied JOY in his music.

[@Browzer01]

Dan, I was going to say the same thing, but after listening to it dozens of times, I kinda hear "hip" not hit. I could of course be very wrong.

[@gabrielp1826]

@@Browzer01he supposedly did hip surgery at this time, so make sense.

[@jsutigers8954]

​@@gabrielp1826nah...Prince was 23 when he worked on the Album 1999 - it came out in 1981.....Prince had Hip Surgery in 2010.....🎵🎶🎵

"What u looking at punk...Prince had bars!!!!

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

You said it. He was The One. Truly unique. It sounds hyperbolic but... In a universe 5 billion years old, we got to live during the lifetime of Prince Rogers Nelson. A man who dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of his art. Feeling sad about his absence is normal. Celebrating his output is more important though. Thank you for uploading this. 💜

[@Browzer01]

Very well said SA as always.

[@phunkidruma]

Lets take a bath 2gether... He could have been a comedian and HE WAS!!!!!

Body don't wanna quit / gotta get another hit

some Zappa in there. god this man is the boss, truly

Indeed Mark.

[@simonpeacock2288]

This is one of my all time fave Prince live tracks. When friends ask me why I'm so obsessed with Prince this is Exhibit A. It shows his musicianship, his song writing ability, his skill as an arranger (it's totally reworked from the album and incorporates three other tracks in it), his showmanship, his ability as a band leader, and his sense of humour and joy. Then he scats and solos at the same time and it's astounding. It's rock and it's funk and it's jazz. If someone doesn't get it after this, they never will. The line he's singing is "Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another HIT". Still pretty prophetic, as his body had quit which lead to his reliance on painkillers which lead to addiction which lead to.... Band is Renato Neto and Morris Hayes on keys, Rhonda Smith on bass and the late great John Blackwell on drums.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Simon, thank you for joining me and providing your personal thoughts on Prince and the band.

[@januszgrabowski8162]

For me exibit A is Empty room from Montreux 2009 than Whole Lotta Love from London 21 nights and at the 3rd place this song

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Here's Empty Room kzbin.info/www/bejne/in3Wq5agos96l9E I have version of Whole Lotta Love coming up, I think its from Las Vegas.

exhibit b + is spanish castle magic from the same show...2funky

[@nelsonh8330]

I come every now and then to see this video reaction because 1/ your facial expressions are priceless 2/ I'm not a musician like you but I realized you were amazed by the same parts in this performance like me and there is a lot of moments to be in total awe 3/ I was lucky to be at this concert and it was a masterclass of guitar work and showmanship 4/ This band was a tremendous oiled machine.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

That’s really beautiful to hear and feel fortunate to have had several others mention revisiting some of my Prince videos. I also rewatch some of the Prince videos and always amazed at his playing.

[@shawnbrisbon9304]

This was amazing. I really enjoy seeing you react to these.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thanks Shawn.

[@martingregory3434]

A beautifully sincerely wonderful reaction. Thank you for honouring him with your kind words Brian.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Martin. I appreciate you watching.

[@Power_Fantastic]

What a great performance, just outta this world, already knew it but it still blows my mind! Loved your reaction as well ... many of us still miss Prince so very much. He truly is the one! O(+> 4ever

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thank you for watching.

[@Purp7eMu2ic]

I Play this loud whenever I need a fix.

[@asiandiver]

@@Purp7eMu2ic Yep. Same here. 💜

[@smh93]

Renato is definitely my favorite keyboardist that has performed with Prince, but NOBODY plays that groove on this song like Morris. 🥰

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Samantha, I agree on both accounts. Thank you for watching.

[@adammiller6606]

Keepin it real. Way to go Brian. Way to go Prince.Woo!

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thanks Adam.

[@jamesdavies6305]

If anyone ever asks you, why is Prince known as the best live performer of all time?, this is the video you show them!

[@sherylannebonczek3409]

Another great reaction Brian! I love this song and this performance! I always find the lyrics that you pointed out, "Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit." to be oddly representative of what is "said" to have happened to him. I say it that way because there is still much speculation and mystery regarding that situation among Prince fans. He absolutely kills it in this performance and his energy is off the charts! I can't wait to see your reaction to "The Everlasting Now" on Jay Leno! I absolutely love that song, the message, and his performance on Jay Leno! Can't wait to see what you put out next!!!

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thank you for coming back, also for your thoughtful comments.

[@sherylannebonczek3409]

@@GuitarSoloReactions You are very welcome Brian!

[@mharrislove]

Even when having the crappiest of days, I leave this tune with a good mood each and every time.

[@tonicardanini1863]

A documentary about Prince said his hip problems came about from all his years performing in high heels (he didn't like being short). I believe he also missed surgical appointments to correct his problems and took the pain pill path instead. Tragic all around. He's greatly missed.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

He is definitely missed, I keep discovering great songs and incredible guitar playing on a weekly basis.

[@msdarknlovely846]

Prince had the hip surgery when they finally released the medical report, the autopsy I mean they disclosed just to much information to the public; when they found him he had a incision on his hip . Morris Day allegedly said Prince had the surgery. I read any pertaining to his investigation. Listen to detective interviews with his inner circle and employees, I even watched the police on you tube get the call to his residence and them flying thru traffic only taking 3min he was already gone. So much more information the Chanhassen police should have not released. Anything you want to really know about Prince you can download documents. If you curious like me. Don't pay any attention to conspiracy theories. Just the official final and medical report. I love and miss him 🕊 🕊

[@Browzer01]

The keyboard combo of Morris Hayes and Renato Neto. Man.

[@Purp7eMu2ic]

Brian, thanks again for your heartfelt comments, done with. Such love and care. Have you watched the whole of both gigs. ?

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

I haven't watched them in one sitting, but in parts. Love them.

[@cc_lavender3104]

I've been waiting for you to react to this lol. And I'm glad you were able to react to it. This is one of my favorite Prince performances. This entire set is insane. Loved the reaction

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thank you for watching.

[@tracynorman1455]

Love your reaction to his faces in this.

Tracy, Thank you for watching.

[@juliansandoval9927]

Both of these shows were incredible, I forgot which one but he does an amazing rendition of Purple Rain to close the show. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.

[@Purp7eMu2ic]

Both are truly magical. He was on fire 🔥

Too bad we can't tap like multiple times. Watched this for the fifth time now. Thank you.

[@heyskipj]

""Body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit." Think he's talking about NY celebrity/nightlife back in '83 when 1999 dropped. I believe he was calling out the fake drug/party culture, not painkillers, which took him down later in life. By all/most accounts Prince was very much drug-free in his mid-20s. He didn't start taking Rx painkillers until much later--and not for the reasons laid out in this track. Love how he incorporates/calls out other songs, Housequake and Black Sweat... into the performance even if the track isn't on the set list!

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

An amazing performance that is all Prince. Thank you for watching.

[@januszgrabowski8162]

On bass guitar Rhonda Smith much better bassist than Ida

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

I have seen Rhonda with Jeff Beck several times she is great, I just happen to really dig Ida with Prince. Janusz, thank you for watching and commenting.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

@GT Tg I completely agree.

[@padawansound]

Ida is brilliant, a different way, raw n restrained, putting one down to bolster the other feels unnecessary mate.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

@@padawansound I’m not putting anyone down, simply stating a preference.
