Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff L. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@stevendorsey4554]

"Nobody trying to be a hotshot all by themselves"...........Prince.."Hold my beer". Lol.

[@BrooklynStitcher]

Prince was proving point with this performance. Rolling Stone Magazine had put out a list of the greatest guitarists of all time and he wasn't on it and he felt disrespected.

[@cocolossal69]

Fair enough feeling disrespected, that's fecking disrespectful. Still, Rolling Stone... What a douchebag magazine anyway, they also used to sh!t all over Queen.

[@mookie7688]

@@cocolossal69 They also gave Led Zeppelin's first few albums bad reviews to the point that Jimmy Page refused to talk to them for his entire career.

[@johnmoore4714]

I was pissed 😡 when rolling stones Left Prince off the list. Then they tried to have a make over and make #33. Prince knew they were there. Thats what that strut was about after he left the stage.

[@swperry04039]

I don’t think Prince gave a shit what Rolling Stone Magazine thought of his playing.

I hope Prince gave his guitar a cigarette afterwards... Honestly, Prince was one of a kind. I miss that guy. Also Tom Petty.

Reminds me of Van Halen's live performance of Eruption, when he gave his guitar a cigarette, lmao.

[@lynnalexander9674]

Prince was the best we'll ever see (coz Stevie Wonder can't dance!)

[@mookie7688]

"Everyone's just playing, no one's being a hotshot." lol. Prince was the only guy who could indulge in that level of showboating and everyone loves him because he's just that damn good.

[@BuckeyeM80]

When you ask for Prince, you get Prince. And they knew it

[@jamesrobinson1557]

Thank you! How to say you're a hater without saying you're a hater!

[@phillipthomas119]

Lol the guy that played the other guitar solo is a legend as well. He played his note for note the way Clapton played it in the original, he could of shredded it up like prince did. They gave prince the last spot so he could give rolling stones magazine the middle finger and it was epic! But let's not disrespect the other legends on the stage.

[@sigifredoospina7085]

@@phillipthomas119 every guitar makes the guitar sound their signature way, but sorry there are few who can make it sound like Prince....Clapton plays a more heavy sound...Prince was well rounded and could play almost all styles to perfection...The first guy was ok, but he was no prince.

[@phillipthomas119]

​@sigifredoospina7085 I just know Marc Mann is very capable! Prince is great I never said he wasn't just giving some love to another legend. Srv, Jimmy, randy, evh, could all play the way Prince could, don't mean he ain't great as well! I loved the fact they kept it true to the original, while letting Prince give rolling stones magazine the finger! It was epic... but it was never about disrespect on my end...

[@danielcowan8673]

I love Prince because he can make you laugh, cry, and jump with joy in the space of one song.

[@leroyvictree]

So true Daniel Cowan, that's exactly why Prince in my opinion is one of the greatest musicians that ever lived.

[@thelo7usroom19]

They didn’t know what Prince was going do, he just turned up and walked on and and made his guitar weep! Brilliant

[@pedrobossio5440]

I've found out that Prince didn't rehearse this, just showed up and made it work.

[@BuckeyeM80]

Oh it didn’t weep. It wailed. 😭

[@jodip699]

No, wrong. He was invited, Dhani Harrison said that he'd give him a go when to start..if you watch close enough you'll see his smile and nod.

[@callanc3925]

@@jodip699 Yes he was invited, but they didnt know what he was going to play in the solo section. Allegedly he didnt even rehearse it, he just made it up on the spot.

[@Kickinthescience]

I like how everyone that reacts to this wonders where the guitar went

[@mikemorbuk298]

While it's simple. The guy who caught Prince when leaning back, caught the guitar

[@Baconmadness]

It went to heaven

[@matsjakobsson1376]

Prince is Still in heaven looking for it!

[@matsjakobsson1376]

From THE Beatles White album 1968. George Harrisons induction to hall of Fame! Billy Preston on THE piano, Jeff Lynnes and Tom Pettys voices are great! Marc Mann of Jeff Lynnes band död great on THE earlier guitar solos!(Georges Friend Eric Clapton made then on THE album). Steve Winwood on THE fucking Hammond. I play piano and keyboards can't master THE Hammond organ. Then Prince steals THE show!

[@DiggitySlice]

Best comment I saw on the subject: George caught it

[@markbarnfield8094]

This is a “once in a lifetime” performance! We’re blessed to have it recorded! I liken Prince to a modern version of Mozart. The similarities are many. What isn’t mentioned is that this took place at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where earlier in the night, Prince had been inducted! An absolute prodigy, Prince was a virtuoso guitarist who could’ve played lead for almost any band in the world. Also noteworthy, is the fact that Tom Petty and George Harrison were the best of friends. As well as Jeff Lynn was another member of their close knit circle. They’re families were intertwined, which leads to another point. The young man playing acoustic guitar during this performance, isn’t just another artist. He’s actually Dhanni Harrison, son of the great George Harrison! So this truly was a very special performance! Sadly, not long after, we lost both Prince and Tom Petty. Gods Speed. RIP

[@debrabeck9630]

George Harrison’s son was playing on stage and obviously loved it. Sometimes a musician just cuts loose, and when Prince did his solo at the end it was amazing!

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Dhani looks jus' like his father. Hair is shorter.

[@douglasernst9477]

Not a big fan of Prince. However, his talent is astounding with this performance. Absolutely brilliant. As for the rest of the band…. Epic. What a thrill it must have been to have been there live

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Hands-down, the best guitar solo I've ever seen/heard. Full stop. Amazing how under-appreciated Prince was as a guitarist.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

It’s very good, but there’s solos that blow that one away…see Gary Moore

[@thestrangemanreturns]

subjective. All subjective @@mr.smithgnrsmith7808

[@9AJW4]

"No one's trying to be a hotshot." I think you might have spoken too soon, before Prince gets involved 🤣

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

😂

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

Dhani's laughing face as Prince nearly falls backwards off of the stage - priceless!

[@endorphinzz]

Prince didn't even get to rehearse with the rest of the musicians on stage. When he showed up for a rehearsal, the guy who did the first solo kept doing all the solos in the song while Prince watched and strummed along. The producer got pissed and told Petty to talk to him so that Prince could rehearse his solo as well. Prince told the producer "don't worry about it" and said he'd do the solo at the end, and left. So nobody knew what he was gonna do when his solo starts. That's one reason Petty kept giving Prince the sign to keep going, he said you could tell "something special" was happening on stage.

[@aj71169]

I think a lot of people miss that subtlety in the performance. To think about Prince, used to being the bandleader and doing whatever he wants, checking with Petty to find out just how much space he could take. And Petty, being able to read the band’s performance with someone they hadn’t rehearsed with, knowing how much space to give to make it special without being overdone. 👏

[@endorphinzz]

@@aj71169 - Excellent points...

[@jbd2226]

Love watching but hate watching all that talent that's gone

[@EricAndrewDodson]

I think he was checking to make sure Dhani was happy with it too

[@kevenbridges9433]

There's even more to the story. A week or so before this show Rolling Stone magazine ran a piece saying that Prince was overrated as a guitar player. No one on stage knew that prince was going to go off the way he did except Harrisons son. This solo was a big FU to Rolling Stone Mag.

[@richteezer1]

Jeff Lynnes vocal and harmonies are amazing.

[@pedrobossio5440]

Agree!

[@jonhorrocks8999]

A lot of comments when Prince died about how he'd gone up to get that guitar. RIP.

[@mackburnett5227]

Back story.... Rolling Stone mag put out a top 100 guitarist list and the snubbed Prince. He didn’t make it and was said to be offended. Hence the toss of the guitar and walk off stage. Prince’s version of the mic drop!

[@helmedon]

When you said "a whole bunch of superstars, all playing their position. No one's trying to be a hotshot over someone, they're all just humbly up there jammin'.......""paying tribute" My first thought was "oh, no, see Prince has been quietly strumming over in the shadows and that won't last long". Prince was a genius, multi instrumentalist and self taught.

[@annalykins1579]

George caught the guitar ❤️

[@jeanharris2408]

I'd like to believe that Prince threw his guitar into heaven, for George. It was nice to see his son, Danhi, but sad, knowing both Tom and Prince would soon no longer be with us.

[@charlesstevensiii7762]

I was just thinking this

[@AVONAZ100]

According to an article I read, Prince never rehearsed for this performance. He improvised the whole thing! 😳😍😍😍

[@jjjones8609]

The first time the band so Prince do his guitar solo was when they filmed it live. They had no clue what Prince was going to do.

[@jamestalkington6306]

Mmmmm, Prince makes that guitar SING.

When he tilted it to heaven made me tear up. As if to say this solo is for you george. Absolute beauty of a solo from the best guitarist ever

I subscribed because of your series of reactions to The Warning (my current favorite band in the world)...but my all time favorite artist is Prince. You can certainly find songwriters, producers, live performers, instrumentalists, bandleaders etc. who are just as good, but find me someone else who was world class at ALL of those disciplines before turning 30. Prince was in his own universe.

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

Prince stole the show in the end superb. 🎸💪😍 such a good performance of all artists on this stage woow

[@ericfestvog2873]

Prince didn't rehearse with the rest of the group, he only asked that they leave a spot at the end for a guitar solo. No practice, it's that easy for him.

[@DrSagaciousone]

Awesome Tribute by all musicians. I love how George's son reacts when Prince starts to play. The young man light up. Thats was great! I love how Prince kept to form being himself, the awesome entertainer and performer and didnt try to be anyone other than Prince. They got a standing ovation after the song was over. Tom Petty loved Prince's performance - you can see him smile when Prince was performing. I guess its easy to forget many of these musicians are friends. It was a great tribute not a memorial service. Prince put his heart and soul into this tribute. Winwood told him twice during this tribute to keep playing even when Winwood was suppose to take over. Bravo to all involved!!!

[@Jimmy_Phantom]

You can hear Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison singing alongside Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan in their supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys. Check out their songs "End of the Line" and "Handle with Care." As for Prince, the guy was the complete package and a musical genius. There are several songs that showcase his guitar-playing abilities, including "Purple Rain," "Let's Go Crazy," and the obscure "Peach." I had the privilege of seeing him perform live, during his Musicology tour. He wailed on guitar, then proceeded to rock out on bass, drums, and keyboard. That was easily one of my favorite concerts that I've attended..

[@PaulGuy]

Even when Prince is playing his solo, he still makes sure that when the vocals come in, they always have room. A guitar wizard, and a brilliant team player.

[@bigbad69]

Wolf HunterZ 'no ones trying to be a hotshot'......Prince 'hold my beer'........Not a shot at Prince, lol, he is amazing and made the show

[@x_aj_x1157]

[@NateKyng]

I met Tom Petty! We were backstage at a concert here in the Bay Area (CA) and I had gotten some food, and while looking for a place to sit, not finding anything, I hear this voice "You can sit here if ya want." I turned around and saw Petty sitting at a table with his wife and son, smoking a cigarette, pulling out a chair. We were always told not to interact with the stars and to leave them alone, so I wasn't sure what to do...he insisted so I sat down. lol My mom found me and freaked out, apologizing profusely to Petty but he reassured her it was okay and that he invited me to sit down.

[@NateKyng]

As context, my mom worked a beer booth at a concert venue and my friend's dad was the GM of the venue, so we got into hundreds upon hundreds of concerts for free and often got backstage passes. Not to name drop, but Tom Petty, Pearl Jam, STP, Nirvana, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Skynyrd, The Who, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, CCR, Eagles, Santana, Grateful Dead, No Doubt, Offspring and countless others.

So this is rock & roll hall of fame ‘04. George Harrison was being posthumously being inducted as a solo artist/singer-songwriter in his own right having been inducted years earlier as a member of The Beatles, although Lennon & McCartney were the dominant songwriters for TB’s this was written by GH and featured on The Beatles White Album (‘68). Some on here amongst a slew of world-class musicians are Tom Petty, ELO’s Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood and the young guitarist behind and to the left of Tom Petty, that’ll be DHANI HARRISON, George’s son who is the mirror image of a young George 😊🇬🇧🇺🇸
