PRINCE jumps on stage with Nikki Leonti for a guitar solo

Prince comes on stage while Nikki Leonti and Ryan Edgar are performing "Little help from my friends"....

[@domusvita]

I wonder how often he sat back and thought about how many hours of joy he brought people. I mean he plays for 3 minutes and everyone there has a story they'll tell their grandkids and the smile on their faces will never fade. Rest in perfectness.

[@douglagin7131]

+Chris Thompson I'm going to steal that "rest in perfectness'...just lovely...

[@JaguarMoon]

I agree! Rest in Perfectness! fits him perfectly! thank you for that!

[@skygazer6898]

Rest in perfectness! Just perfect

[@beachpixie32]

So true! I have one of those stories ~ I am smiling and crying!

[@adamjuliussmith]

your comment is perfect - tear to the eye man!

[@dannyfigs]

I always heard Prince would randomly go up to stages and play. I have a friend who told me that back in the 90's, Prince once went up to a piano at a jazz bar in Miami Beach and played for 2 hours.. He said it was the best live music he ever experienced.

[@aloekumari6731]

Thats amazing.

[@denisecappelletti2648]

he did

[@heturnal]

He truly was music 24/7 ... imagine writing a song a day for more then 45 years ... he spent 4 hours sleeping 20 hours making music and performing music... to me he was an is still the greatest to ever do it... his sounds during the 80s upto signe o the times wich In my view is the greatest ever musical album made , he was on another planet , no one has come b4 or after that can compare to his talent work rate, constant innovative creativity , his humanitarian work etc.. RIP purple king

[@jakejake7289]

@@heturnal Yes! Talent is 99% sweat!

[@jakejake7289]

I did not appreciate his guitar talent until he was gone 😕

[@inplainsight131]

If that was my guitar I'd never play it again. I'd hang it up on my wall.

Watch and learn kids. This is what talent looks like.

[@rickybrucemarino1850]

Amen

[@foto21]

+gabzz72 talent and decades of HARD WORK, dedication, and singularity of purpose. There's a lesson to be learned kiddies. Pick one thing early on, and make it happen. However, Prince was born to a musical father. It helps to have it in the bloodline, but don't let it not being there stop you.

[@MauriatOttolink]

+gabzz72 I'm looking hard...Must get some new specs..

[@MauriatOttolink]

+gabzz72 +foto21com Mind you if all the idiots in the audience who clearly know zilch, would just shut up, it might be possible to get a better idea.. C'mon Kiddies, screaming and yelping during his solo is no measure of what he can do. It is however, an accurate measure of your mindless stupidity.

[@JRPoole57]

GOOOD NIGHT .. that guitar is off in some corner smoking a cigarette quivering saying don't touch me right now - mouthing the words "call me" as Prince struts away.

I love how Prince hypnotizes the band, then snaps them out of it. Brilliance.

When Prince jumps on stage at your concert, it is no longer your concert. #RIPPrince

[@procprime]

True that :'(

[@nayahri]

Say that....

[@Rickoholic]

+LJ808 I must disagree... he ALWAYS respected the musicians he played with! He NEVER stepped on ANY creative 'toes' & always played true to THEIR songs!!!

[@Zteffe666]

Indeed he did ,Tom! That's what i admire about Prince, he never ever tried to outshine anyone on stage, but his mere prescence did anyway...

[@Leira6267]

+John Chester He meant it as his presents alone made people drawn to him.

[@JimboJammy]

Only the purple one could just turn up, take the guitar, completely steal the show, have everyone including the band eating out of his hands and completely drawn in to his energy and just leave like nothing ever happened leaving the entire building in sheer disbelief. What a moment that must have been!

[@cherylmcc7777]

Prince knew how to orchestrate an entire band whether his band or a band he decides to jump in and join. He had the language of love and music DOWN. Funk, blues, rock, jazz, ALL of it. You name it he did it. GENIUS. I know the band members will never forget this moment. Watch how he brings it all together. I love seeing Prince but it wreaks havoc on my heart.

[@lour58]

Walked off the stage like a boss.

[@psexnyc]

OMG!! Prince just grabbed control of that entire band and gave its guitar player a good and proper lesson in showmanship and walked off the stage. If I were in that band, I wouldn't know if Prince just "blessed" us or just "dissed" us.......

[@HustledontSleep]

if i was in that band or that guitar player i wouldn't even care if he was "dissing" me

[@sampson3121]

dortonm it was a respectful diss, he was showing in a way that he could have done more, he held back, as a sign of respect to the guitarist. respect !

[@Sconi71]

psexnyc It's a jazz band and from the sounds of things, a good one. I'm sure they, including the guitar player, are all very capable.

Curious; did anyone in that room know that this was PRINCE playing that guitar?? Unbelievable improvisationalist! A real genius! Not to mention the piano and all the other instruments he could play!! He will be greatly missed....what a loss to us all to die so young. I'm sure he is in heaven jammin out to Jesus, and Jesus snapping His fingers to the beat with a big smile!!

[@smitherschad]

He was a Jehovah's witness and believed he would rest in the grave until the resurrection, where he will get to jam with Hendrix here on earth. Who knows Scott, maybe you will be here too to get the chance to see it.

[@blacktieautodetailing]

Such as a sad sad day, and a huge loss in the music world and beyond! Such a gracious human being, and Prince helped so many artists get their start, and he collaborated with so many, produced for many, played many instruments, wrote beautiful lyrics, and in many cases just jammed with others in the moment on many occasions (like this video shows)! I am deeply saddened and we ALL will miss an iconic musician/producer/and just overall humble human being! R.I.P. Prince, we will continue miss you very much, and this loss is really tough, but we will all remember you for all you gave us for 40 yrs, and your dedication and your unique talent is like no other, nor will anyone be able to measure up to what you did for the music world!

[@chippy7745]

Absolute genius. If this band hadn't been good, he never would've gone up there. They must be good. Wish we could've seen the very beginning though and how this came about. This may have been around the time he did the New Girl tv show because he has the same hair style. 2014. I wonder why he was kind of shaking his head a bit as he walked off. Maybe they hadn't followed his direction? They were probably numb!! Mad respect for the man. Miss him greatly. Never another like Prince. 💜

This was a band he played Lead Guitar in before being brought to the attention of Warner Brothers. All of that band's music is hosted here on KZbin. Prepare to have your Earhole blown.
