Prince - "Just My Imagination (incl. Noon Rendez-Vous)" live (Los Angeles, 1988)

[@Caniplaymyguitar]

He connected the guitar to his heart. So emotional

[@plym1969]

Prince is the most emotional guitarist I've ever heard. He's the best ever isn't he?

[@icu1905]

Will NEVER B ANOTHER! 💜

[@stesteve3975]

Could he be created or is he the creator? He blitzed Wembley arena in 86’ and yes I was there, I will never forget it, it was the greatest show on earth for me, what a blessing to have lived in the same era,

[@Musicology1975]

Unique guitar player. It's not a guitar it's a heart with strings.💜

[@ozziewarrens8804]

Yes, Prince could sing anything and it would be vibrationally Perfect.

[@johnmoore4714]

Free guitar 🎸😥 💜♂️. Just listen to Prince 🤴 playing with no worries. I have been following him since his first album. The day he passed. I left work. I'm a grown man. I cried like a family member passed.😭 He was just special people ♀️💜♂️I miss him 😢#Prince4ever

[@sunilgehani1971]

I feel you! I’m 51 been a Prince fan since 1983 and have followed him in many tours , I cried too the day he passed, like part of my life was gone that day, he is the soundtrack of my entire life and there will certainly be no other genius like him, music will never be the same since that day, what a loss, and now to get to cherish these performances that he never allowed, it’s like watching him live again. He was gods gift to humanity, musically speaking …GOAT!

[@APHinchen]

Wow reading these 2 comments really hit me because I could have wrote them. I also followed him since 1979. And the day he passed, I also left work . I cried and sat on the couch watching every news story for 12 hours. It was like a family member passed. I had to show my wife these comments so she can see I wasn’t the only man who reacted like this

[@mattmoore413]

I just got in my car. Turned on the radio. Heard the news and I cried for two hours driving home. Strange for a 50+ man? Not for me....💜😢

i cant imagine what Minnesota is like now with Prince being gone now...it must feel like its missing its soul or something?

We all miss him 😔💜

[@meagan1942]

I don't understand how people could be calm after hearing that when Shelia did them drums I was in my room and I was screaming and crying like I was actually there like they would have had to escort me out because I wouldn't be quiet

[@johnmoore4714]

He was just special 💜

[@valbennett445]

I wish people would shut up when they are at shows like this. Listen to the music. Be present.

[@harryparker5819]

Sorry you gone have to put the blame on Prince for that’s considered to be a good thing

[@prairrie]

Agree . This is deep and emotional. How can you ta lk.

[@callmemonkh9020]

OmG YES!!! CLOSE YOUR CAKE HOLES...

[@kevinkozkoz4348]

No doubt, this man loved to play and in my mind the best to ever do it! Who else played guitar, synthesizers, piano, bass, drums and many more! This man's music catalog is out of this world, so many songs! Good Gwaad!

[@loustic.73le99]

Je ne suis qu'un petit français. Mais un jour une journaliste de rolling stones interviewait Éric Clapton : " qu'est-ce que ça fait d'être le meilleur guitariste au monde ? " " I don't know....Ask Prince". Pour bien des raisons, et parce qu'il est le Mozart de mon temps, mais pas seulement...parce qu'il m'a aidé à me construire, parce qu'il m'a donné une fierté d'exister, alors que personne ni la société ne le fesait...pour toutes ces années avec lui ...oui, j'aime Prince et il sera toujours à mes côtés...dans mon cœur. Alors oui, Big UP 2 Mr Nelson...at least and 4ever 💜

[@johnmoore4714]

Since the release of the video footage of little prince during the teachers strike. This is the little boy. My God you just never know who you standing next to 😥 RIP Prince 💜

I listen to this at least once a day now. I could never put into words how deep my feelings run for this Spirit Guide that was once called Prince! I carry this energy with me everywhere I go 💜

Amazing ✨✨ Why he could express LOVE with his guitar like singing ?✨ 🎸 💜 His guitar makes me cry😭💜 He understands my feelings of love, sweet and bitter, and always stay next to me 💜thank you Prince

[@maximoperini]

One of my favourite Bootleg live tracks, He’s the definition of MUSIC, And for those who dared to give him thumbs down,,,,your lives must be pretty miserable let alone ignorant on the subject of ARTISTRY & MUSIC! 4EVERPRINCE 💜

[@sallykinley5939]

I have never been able to understand why someone would put a thumbs down, or put a stupid comment disrespecting him?? FFS? Do these people have something wrong wither ears? Or are they just plain stupid? I come from a musical background, so think my musical ears are pretty darn good. The man was an out and out genius. I have seen so many concerts and listened to so many styles of music over the last 40 years. I can honestly say, i have never seen or heard anyone play the guitar with such feeling and emotion, such technique and always a beautiful tone. Good god i could listen to him play anything for just hours upon hours. His playing gives me goosebumps! And when you actually watch him, its effortless, like an extension of his body, it's part of him. He blows my mind every time i see/listen to him. And to think this is only a small part of his musical skills! Makes my head hurt thinking about it. Genius, legend, GOAT, here aren't enough words to describe this awesome man. Miss him every day 💜💔💜

[@cynthiaward5584]

The best guitar performance ever, especially tonight.💕💕💕

[@OzlemCraig]

What a sexy voice. Prince could have been King of soul but he kept searching for the funk ;)

[@kelvinsmith3085]

From day one he wasn't going to be in a box he master all genres

[@لالهوةإلالهوتي]

Thank God for this recording

[@jaccoteunissen]

For sure, there is no one that could play the guitar better then Prince did! 0+>

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

and he did so effortlessly too...and did so often running around dancing in 4 inch high heels too and still the guy never missed a note! Like to see any other pretenders to Best Guitarist Throne try to do that!

[@johnmoore4714]

Prince just one of a kind. Thank God I was alive to see him. He wasn't just unique. He was special 💜#4-21-16 music 🎵 will never be the same 😔

[@katygaston8777]

John Moore agreed 😢

[@bonitaphinney1529]

Just a matter of opinion, but he is certainly one of the greats, with Jimi Hendrix, Ernie Isley, and Carlos Santana.

[@johnnybasement430]

Prince, Eddie Van Halen, Hendrix....whatever order you choose of these guitar legends cannot be wrong...NO ONE ELSE TOUCHES THESE 3

PRINCE ....

[@errantrazor]

Happy birthday, Prince. I'm more familiar with the "small club" version from soundboard, but the handful versions I've heard never fail to stop me in my tracks every time. When that guitar solo kicks into high gear, I am completely lost, unburdened by my troubles or the world around me, and that big blue beam of light at the end of all those superhero movies bursts from my heart and lights up the heavens. R.I.P.

[@debbiebennett1902]

Beautiful just Beautiful music

[@bonitaphinney1529]

There are only three other guitarists that I have heard can make there guitar cry like Prince. Jimi Hendrix, Ernie Isley, and Carlos Santana.

[@bolder2009]

Eddie Hazel's solo on Maggot Brain surely inspired Prince. He made that guitar weep an ocean.

[@bonitaphinney1529]

@@bolder2009 l never heard that solo rendition, but if his guitar could make an ocean weep, then his strings have power. RIP Prince

[@bolder2009]

@@bonitaphinney1529 Do check it out. I'd also recommend Shuggie Otis's solo on Wings Of Love. The best versions I've heard were at the Jazz Cafe and a couple of other venues in London, which most likely won't surface online. You can still find some live versions on youtube. Here's one.

Wild how every recording of Imagination has a completely different mind blowing guitar solo. I wish I could find the one where he finishes Noon Rendezvous with “I just wanna meet ya, I just wanna greet ya, I just wanna take of your clothes and eat ya” great jazzy solo in that one. And the crowd goes wild at the end.

anyone know if there is any film of Prince doing "just my imagination" around this time period? every version i have heard of it from 1988 is absolutely mind blowing ...possibly Prince's greatest geetar solo?

[@neojumpy]

"possibly Prince's greatest geetar solo" -> there r so much.... pfffffffff

[@magicdog5623]

The BBC did a documentary around 1991 and had a clip of a lovesexy aftershow at the camden palace (koko) where he performed just my imagination. Its the one where he says....''you can sing cant you?'' and passes the mic to mica paris who was watching in the crowd. Here is the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGi4e5WIqdagbpY Scroll to about 10 mins in and you get the footage....its brilliant , Prince knows she's caught on the hop so he just backs her up and she sings it brilliantly

[@NewPaisleyGeneration]

Me too ;)

[@tonywilliams8565]

First time hearing this version. It’s Great, no doubt, slowed down. IMO doesn’t top Trojan.

[@paulSmith-te8gq]

Not even close

[@antman1972]

To me its is close, very close. The first time I heard the trojan horse version was 91, wasn't until like 98 or so that I was able to down load an listen to as much as I wanted. So I've listened to that version hundreds of times. I barley heard this version earlier this year and damn, I really like it.

[@ulf1831]

I adore the more breathing synth line in the background compared to Trojan Horse. This is just so godamn soulful and sparse. Doesn't need all the spotlights and effects on a high budget tour to attain exactly the same feeling with just one man and a guitar. Trojan Horse and this is a 50/50 for me. Depends on my mood for the day
