The 80's music generation has yet to be matched. From the 80's rock to the music of Michael Jackson and Prince could be heard going on everywhere. I was so fortunate to have graduated in 1980 and enjoyed going to concerts, and music festivals with these great bands and artist. The special exciting feeling that I experienced is one I have never forgotten. When I hear those songs that were played, they bring back memories that to this day still give me goosebumps. Little did I know how blessed I was to be enjoying and experiencing the greatest music era of all times as a young adult 😎. Music added so much more enjoyment to ANYTHING we did. I was fortunate to have a boss who allowed us to have mp3 players while we worked. I worked there for 30 years because of that and then retired. Once I realized I had been there 30 years I wondered why it didn't seem that long 🤔. It was because of the music. I had enough songs on that MP3 player to last 16 hours. I sang my favorite songs that all had a good memory of my childhood. Or to something I enjoyed as a young adult. Those memories and singing made my day go by so much faster and kept my adrenaline going. I'm so glad I was blessed with that benefit at work and wouldn't trade that enjoyment for another job without music.

MJ's voice is just..... Outstanding. Prince, what a virtuoso and showman

[@Og23_wave95]

I’m here in 2023 and let me tell you absolutely chills going down my spine right now nothing but extraordinary talent and human beings ! They don’t make em like this no more!!!

[@caseyfalconer7347]

There is some great talents still. Bruno Mars & Ed Sheeran are two who produce quality tracks and sound just as good live on stage & make songs that will will go down as greats. Most artists are just here today gone tomorrow though.

[@ginaly197071]

This was absolutely amazing. This was during a time when music was almost spiritual and having all 3 legends, who are no longer with us, was historical. Prince was a hell of a musician.

[@paulmontoya9468]

Music will always be magic it’s all made by GOD. 😊

[@tonjaydubois]

All three men are absolutely iconic and legendary. What a total treat for those fortunate enough to have seen this in person!

[@teniola9304]

James Brown. Michael Jackson. Prince. All THREE OF THEM on stage. Now ALL THREE OF THEM in heaven.

[@8BitAtari]

There are very few artists born for the stage like Michael was.

3 musicians of their Legendary Generations Rip James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince 🙏🙏🙏🐐🐐🐐🙏🎇❤️

[@honeyboysmith6587]

MJ greatest of all time

[@yvonneplant9434]

😅 If you had seen Brown in his prime in, oh...1960 or so, you'd change your mind in an instant.

[@moehammondmedia]

that would be Prince ☔️

[@divewithRJ]

Wow... Prince looked high on something 0_0 but that must have been an amazing show. James Brown will always be one of my favourite influences of all entertainment and music. Same with Michael Jackson. What a lucky moment to be in present with all 3 at the same time.

[@kiaq1153]

coke looool

[@myhatmygandhi6217]

Prince was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He can't say no to James Brown and he can't outperform what MJ just did before him. MJ oozed class and talent, even from this video watching on my phone you can sense the raw talent and charisma of MJ.

[@sammymobs3889]

Micheal knew prince was wasted drunk and has James brown call him up there on purpose!!! That’s what was said in James brown ear being prince up here he can’t follow me and he knew he was wasted and after this micheal Jackson swears princes tried to run him over for embarrassing him This night 😂😂😂 true story!

[@ndorsey1969able]

Prince off that oooh weeee😂😂😂

[@Bl913]

One of the rare moments of Michael not working and just enjoying himself

[@nathanunitedheilbron5676]

All three of them gone to heaven

[@vocal77]

This video was the moment I got to know a person named Prince. Even at this time, I thought he was a comedian. Then one day, I started composing and soon realized that he was the god of songwriting.

[@juliawilly9151]

He is one of the greatest guitarists ever. It was overlooked because of his many talents. We just expected Prince to be the best at everything.

[@vesselsoffaith4756]

Wow, Micheal was able to sit in a crowd like that and it wasn’t pure pandemonium. RIP KING❤

Yes. Both very different styles and personalities.

Very true

[@ionuttoma140]

Look at James how happy he is and how he is laughing like a good father when he is seeing MJ dances like him .

[@ForeverBanned1]

Can't help but feel bad for Prince, imagine going on stage with you idol and your (somewhat) rival and completely embarrassing yourself. It's so sad because Prince was such an amazing talent. What hurts more is all three are gone. R.I.P Legends.

[@PRShadow22]

@@xeno.s248 He really didn’t do nothing he play the guitar just a little and then took off his shirt and left stage

No he didn't.

[@horrormovielover6037]

He couldn't touch Mj

[@Liz-ic6jb]

Child, you don't know what you're talking about! None of us back then thought anything was embarrassing about it. Prince was always taking off his clothes. Did you see his album cover him wearing a thong? See him in concert? You don't know Prince! Your "fan" title has been revoked. LOL!

[@nathandavis7709]

Apparently Prince, being incredible competitive as he was, was biggg mad about Michael's showstealing performance

[@rickfitzgerald4426]

The smile on James's face when Michael took the stage! Magic. The Band keeps the pulse going HARD!

[@sneakytacos773]

I really love the stark difference we see in these two artists here, yet they are both unbelievably revolutionary to the field.

You can tell how different these two artist approach the stage. MJ is very deliberate ? And Prince loved a bit of the chaos … amazing!

Michael was singing real blues music. This is that vintage 1930-1940s southern juke joint style of blues
