I love how Prince didn't show up to practice, stood back through half the song then suddenly took over the guitar solo, stole the show, then threw his guitar up and strutted off the stage. It was his middle finger to the rock world for always snubbing him as one of the greatest guitarists in history. They didn't snub his guitar playing after that performance which to this day is considered one of the greatest guitar performances in history!!

[@user-hk5bs9et8t]

I heard that... pretty cool.

[@Jon7athanStudios]

Prince did show up to practice and Marc Mann, a studio musician who worked with Jeff Lynne, stepped on the first solo of two set aside for Prince 1:57 because it was his only shot doing anything anyone would ever see on a large stage. Prince evidently was non plussed by somebody attempting to upstage him and said he would just take the outro solo and just waited for his solo live to let everyone know who they were actually playing with 3:29.

He wasn't even using his custom symbol guitar. It wasn't arrogance but excellence.

Wow! Can Prince play that guitar, which was the first time for me. . That man had tremendous talent and for some reason I didn't even know it. 🕊️ Can that guy play or what🎉. I was mesmerized. Never knew he could play guitar like that? What the hell took everybody so long to get that message out to me!! Well at least I'm going to see it now.

@@SiFiClark I think I've been in love with all types of music since I've been about 14 years of age.

I wanted to see him, as many rumors were going around about how weird he looked, such as. people in my office, comedians making fun of the way Prince dressed and acted. So overall I would say here and there , I would hear derogatory statements made about anartist named Prince. So I had to go see for myself which I did and I thought he was outstanding 💥💯💥. So that's the unfortunate part of the story. I hope I cleared that matter up for you, and now he's gone 🙏 Today everyone says what a great musical genius he was.

@@davidleslie1127 I'm not sure if the other guys got to hear this in rehearsal. If I remember the story correctly, Prince was supposed to do a solo midway through the song, but during rehearsal another musician up and decided he himself was going to play all the solos himself and Prince just kind of went along with it. There wasn't going to be another chance for a rehearsal with Prince so the director had a talk with him about what was going to happen and Prince basically told him not to worry about it, that he'll come in at the very end and to just let the other guy do whatever. That's why when he starts his solo during the actual show, he bursts out of nowhere and at times it's almost like he's mocking the other guy. But pretty much leading up to that, only Prince knew what he was going to do.
