PRINCE America Live 1985 Reaction

[@bigran_outbound2262]

It's great to see you kids listening to the GOAT

[@lisalott4236]

You are having too much fun & I love it. I appreciate your appreciation of Prince...people tend to sleep on him but you get it. Keep em coming.

[@debliedel]

I have honored him since 1977!! I still am!!

[@brandonmauricejones9183]

‘85 classic he’s 1 of the reason why the 80s was 1 of the dopest decades ever & I’m proud to be from that era!!!✊🏾💪🏾💯

[@mztweety1374]

Same here my very favorite decade for music

[@WardenSpectreCommander]

Best time to be a teen. Prince was killing back to back albums during my HS years 84-85 Purple Rain 85-86 Parade 86-87 Around the world in a day 87-88 Sign 'O the Times

[@chj2]

Same here , Bruh! I remember watching this on Video Soul as well as the interview he gave the same day he filmed this video. Also, if y'all get a chance to visit Paisley Park, do it! I had a ball visiting! Peace.

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

Thanks for the reaction and thank you for the shout out, I’m just glad that you love Prince so much but it’s time to see what makes him THE GOAT America live was just a start 😃💜. Will you react to “Purple Rain live 2004 at Staples center another beauty and Princes’ talent is full on display as well as involving the crowd at Staples 😃💜

[@wandamanning9198]

I agree with you. I was at the Syracuse concert but my favorite playing of Purple Rain is in LA Musicology concert 2004💜💜💜

[@justintime8922]

One of the top 3 Prince performances of all time . The house was on fire. Most don’t even notice the Pan African flag in the background. The man was a revolutionary warrior. This songs meaning is deep. Keep the children free.

[@integratedtherapeuticbodyw5298]

I been listening to Prince for years. I love this performance. And it brings me joy that it brings you joy.

[@ND-9]

Having scene Prince perform several times, you leave his show high(spiritually) and exhausted 💜

[@ClassicGREATS]

This was shot in France while shooting a movie. Yeah this video is wild. Fasten your seat belts. I think his Baby I'm A Star live is even better

[@gregwilliams9737]

1 great thing about Prince is that it's very easy 2 get caught up & wrapped up with & in the vibes & energy at Prince's concerts, live performances, aftershow's & ETC 💜💯🔥🎵🎼🎶💜

[@laureensmith5624]

You go girl. This is how you felt watching him perform. That’s why we loved and will always love Prince, because he was the baddest musician, songwriter, entertainer etc..ever 💜💜💜

[@chj2]

AWESOME reaction, Youngblood! LOVE your reaction! To me, this riff on "America" is like taking Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock performance of the same song and FONKIN' it up with a dash of James Brown+Maceo Parker+Fred Wesley & The JBs! Also love the Red, Black, & Green Flag hanging behind them. Prince KNEW what time it was! And Bruhman KILLED that drum solo! R.I.Power!

[@CosmicMermaid]

When he took off his hat and headscarf he was revealing his short hair cut publicly for the first time. Everybody went crazy 🤣

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

Yes “ Under the cherry moon” movie “Parade album “ it was the reason for the new haircut 😉💜

[@CosmicMermaid]

@@Cinnamonrollseveryday actually a hairdresser fried his hair during the filming of Purple Rain so he had to cut it off. In some of the scenes in Purple Rain he had to wear a wig.

[@Tarantulisimo]

@@CosmicMermaid this was actually way after PR, which was filmed in '83

[@Tarantulisimo]

there were rumors in early '85 that Prince was retiring from public life after the PR tour (he was actually working on releasing ATWIAD) -- then after awards season & We Are The World (mid '85), you didn't see Prince anywhere, & there were stories of him having gotten a crewcut dyed blonde -- (he was actually filiming UTCM). So in those pre-internet days, this was essentially the first glimpse of Prince since the Raspberry Beret video where he had the Beatles 'do -- so yes this new hair was quite a shock

[@CosmicMermaid]

@@Tarantulisimo yes I’m aware of that (PR was release July ‘84. America video was in late ‘85) however you forget that this was before the Internet. We didn’t get to see celebrities as often as we do now.

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

Ps dude was wearing see thru pants under that trench coat, and all of the “Good Gods” was Prince showing James Brown some love 😃💜

[@Domino1972]

I was alive in well when this video premiered on MTV!! They weren't tired, this song was just one of a mini concert and live rehearsal 1.Pop Life 2.Temptation 3.Paisley Park 4.Love Or Money 5.Go 6.Interlude 7.An Honest Man 1. America 2.Paisley Park 3.Delirious 4.Little Red Corvette 5.Purple Rain

[@kayrobbie5840]

Thats what I'm saying Prince does so much on stage. That's what makes him fascinating to watch. Besides the writing, producing, arranging, and playing multiple instruments. Fantastic just fantastic!!

[@warrenhigh4909]

this was one of my favorite live Prince videos, loved the reactions with it too.

[@arlenewilkerson723]

Oh Hell 2 the Yeah!!! Prince was and still is a triple threat !!!! When u go to a Prince concert....U gon get what you came 4......and more and I feel what you going through, I still to this day feel that same energy and excitement, whenever I watch his performances....and because he's giving you so much of everything, you find yourself giving back that same energy......and it is so cool, so hot and so good...it is such an experience that you want everybody that u know to be there 2 experience it also...indeed, it's very much like having " The Holy Ghost "......Prince is the G.O.A.T.....I don't know if we will ever see another " Prince Rogers Nelson " in this lifetime....oh but what a blessing 2 have had him 4 the time that we did , because he did the damn thing. Thank U Keymc..... I love your reaction to Mr. Nelson's live performance...Lol....

[@gregwilliams9737]

😅🤣😂 Prince caught u off guard right out of the gate on this 1 😅🤣😂 & Prince already has u hooked 💜🎵🎼🎶💯🔥😎💜 & that climbing feeling that u r feeling is purposely done, designed & intended 2 make u feel like u r b-ing uplifted & or lifted up by something by Prince 💜 " HEY " 💜🎵🎼🎶💯🔥😎💜 & your Funky Stank Face expressions say it all 😅🤣😂💯🔥😎

[@MrRasheed7]

People who have been to a prince concert can tell you.. That was awesome, but he does that and even better out there when he performs.. All the prince concerts I ever went to (Purple rain, Love sexy, Sign of the times) were epic performances.. I hope reactors focus more on the performances of prince because all of it is GOLD

[@bertryansuluvale6257]

It’s pretty cool how you said the musical intro felt like climbing up a latter because his first lyric is - “Aristocrats, on a mountain climb” 🙌🏽

[@wandamanning9198]

We've turned you into a purple family member 💜💜💜

[@strauqq1]

Glad you're experiencing this. Man, we had Prince and Michael Jackson. Who came after that???

[@boshie2000]

Perfect reaction. Watched this dude for nearly 40 years do things I’d never seen before or since he left us. Way way way too early. You either love Prince, don’t know him or music isn’t for you. Facts.

[@melissar8304]

This was not long before the Revolution broke up. This was filmed in France. Prince was by far pne of the best live performers EVER !! 💜

[@mztweety1374]

Best little big hairband in all the land. I saw them twice after he passed....it was like a musical family reunion😅🔥☂️☔️🎸🎹

[@Domino1972]

yeah about a year later. Dream Factory was in the works

[@reginafris6822]

It was hot in that tent...over 100 degrees!

[@purplelove1933]

Without a doubt Prince had the best live performances No one will ever top him music wise!!!! Your reaction is priceless, you've turned into a massive PurpleHead 😂 I have been watching you for a while and its fun to see your enthusiasm and excitement brings back so many memories and emotions 💜

[@keymctvreactz23]

I have some Prince I’m reacting to today ❤️ stay tuned

[@richierich4538]

Live version of "I could never take the place of your man" will blow you away!! Including an INSANE GUITAR SOLO!!💜

[@gregwilliams9737]

[@carlbaker7242]

Love it when he does this LIVE!!!

[@lindajohnson911]

Thank you for enjoying our music from yesteryears ago. Prince was the BEST to ever do it ‼️

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

By the way today is the 6th year anniversary of Princes’ death 💜😞. RIP GOAT🙏🏽💜

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

Will you please react to “ all shook up” or “empty room” live at Montreux by Prince soon 😃💜

[@tracynorman1455]

He never had a shirt on, lol, just the trench coat. 💜

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Note him sticking up his fingers in the air to show to the band how many breaks they must play? According to Wendy Melvoin (the girl guitarist here) that was the most difficult thing about playing live shows with Prince, because you ALWAYS needed to pay attention, you simply couldn't go with the flow.

[@marcusmccormick8399]

Great performancr. Prince and wendy actually need oxygen after this performance because the building was so hot

[@lennybeason1110]

He’s the Goat ‼️🤘🏾

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Strong start! '85 means still competing with heavy metal and punk rock. Prince always went hard in live shows.

[@litawalker5939]

Awesome reaction love it love it love it 😀 ♥️ ❤️ 😄

[@gregwilliams9737]

You keep me rolling.

[@lavenderbee3611]

Good request "Cinnamon Rolls Everyday"

[@isolars]

Funny you say it sounds like we’re climbing up a ladder, another song off the same album America belongs to is called The Ladder.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

That purple guitar he just threw down is a custom-made number by New York City luthier Roger Sadowsky who has made guitars for some very well known artists. Those guitars are one of a kind and very expensive, so not really a guitar you should throw down. Prince owned six Sadowsky guitars,four of which aped the look of the famous "Mad Cat" guitar he was known for playing and which can be seen in the music videos for "1999" and "Let's go crazy." Prince sure needed them because as this clip shows, he was ROUGH on them.

[@jacksonwilliams8971]

So glad more people are finding out about this video Keep it purple, keep it funky, keep it going!

[@harriettholmes539]

[@moby1017]

And this new gen thinks they got good performances at a concert. We were privy to see Prince in his prime. He usually followed a 3 hour concert by showing up at a local club and performing until 3-5am. He did this for years.
