bro ur full of shit that’s not what he said at all. Prince let the leads get jacked by Lynne’s guitarist in rehearsals and wasn’t showing anything. All the production crew was worried that prince was gonna flop but Dhani Harrison felt like he was holding back instead. Prince gave up the mid solo to Lynne’s guitarist and just took the last one. The look on Dhani’s face is 101% an oh fuck here it comes excited thing

[@Anime_n_Music]

@@orbanchristophercoThat's what he said, but I don't believe he was being completely honest in that interview. Did you see the smile on Dhani's face when Prince took his position on stage? He was stoked, and he knew something special was about to happen. His body language and his smile tell the truth, and the truth is that he enjoyed every minute of Prince's performance.

I love prince's music, but I can see what George's son might have thought. The throwing of the guitar up in the air at the end was a bit elitist, if that's the appropriate word, and was kinda like Prince saying "Ok I'm the big star. Now I'm gonna walk off because my work is done here". He is a superstar obviously, but there are one or two other guys on stage that are pretty OK too. BTW, where did the guitar go? Didn't see it come down! (unless it bounced off Dhani's head and that's why he was annoyed).

[@BolterTUBE]

Prince is quite popular as a singer and a producer, but he is super underrated as a guitarist

[@timothycenter3473]

Bolter21Mapping , yes sir he was very talented guitar player!! This has to be one of the top 10 solos of all time and the exit was classic!!

[@nita0312]

Agreed. And don't forget songwriter, arranger, drummer, pianist, dancer, etc. Not many folks have that many musical gifts. He was truly one of a kind.

[@jsvkia1]

Kimberlee Ponson Pink Floyd was like this too, the live performances were much longer because of the guitar solos, or even keyboards or everything combined, truly shows how great artists are when they can extend their music live.

[@realguy640]

yes, and in a studio, Prince can do a Pink Floyd favorite by HIMSELF. That is praising Floyd, as their music live was so magical. This video when it came out shocked a lot of casual fans, but I always knew he could play like this, and better - if you listen to most of his work, he is a very emotional player with masterful sense of vibrato and bends, and this song was made for him to hit out of the park. Clapton is a huge fan, and he must have LOVED it. PRINCE IS AN ALL TIME GREAT. BUt none of the all time greats has mastered all the instruments and can play as many styles as Prince, plus sing and dance? No one comes close.

[@nemo_sub5476]

An understatement :) whoever thought of asking Prince to do this needs a medal on so many levels, its a lovely nod to George (both were creative and experimental songwriters), a nod to Eric's original solo which was in itself a 'step out' for the Beatles, it brings attention to this great song once again, it shows Prince as a more consummat artiste alongside respected contemporaries and as an individual guitar player... I could go on but you get the idea. 35 million views cannot be wrong.

Jeff Lynne (ELO) is one of the most versatile musicians and producers ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. Lynne didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world....

He IS & ALWAYS will be 100% smooth as SILK. TOM PETTY is best known for his UNIQUE, yet VERY DISTINCTIVE VOICE. Hearing him in this video made me want to MELT into BUTTER! His voice was nothing short of TOTALLY SPOT ON & INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC! As for the fabulous PRINCE, there are NO adequate words to describe his MULTI-PHENOMENAL talents other than: "MULTI-PHENOMENAL!" I truly belive that Prince was giving the great George Harrison a sincere TIP OF THE HAT as a grand gesture of respect. Prince was praised by his peers for his incredible PERFECTION and ATTENTION to details. He always exuded AMAZING EMOTION and added a RICHNESS of DEPTH to every song he wrote and sang and every concert he gave. These traits also carried over to the plethora of artists that he composed for. All the while, I am being ENTHRALLED at just how much DHANI HARRISON resembles his AWESOME Dad. I ADMIRE, RESPECT & TRULY MISS THE GREAT MUSICIANS ON THIS STAGE WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US. 💔 GEORGE HARRISON wrote TREMENDOUS music, & THIS SONG will ALWAYS be my FAVORITE.

From the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame: Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop. Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond. The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal.
