best moment 0:29 and end chord hit

[@esauponce9759]

For me is 0:18. Those magic bends 'till he gets to the high F on the Gm9 chord just mesmerizes and gives me the chills every time. ❤

[@frankdecanck8336]

Nope it's 1:03 😊 .... looking forward tto others favorite moments ! So many of them to choose from

[@insertchannelnamehere632]

Yes, and also 1:05-1:35, but really from there through the end of the hammond stuff too

[@hmbarna]

The funniest part is from 2:35 when Cory Henry first manually adjusts George Collier's transcription and then checks if he is rushing or dragging compared to the sheet music :D

Cory is one of those soloists who manages to just splurt out a stream of notes that's still listenable

[@mrpenguin2083]

I really can’t tell if this is a compliment or an insult

[@juliuszkocinski7478]

listenable is an understatement here

[@b3ndavies]

For me it's because the stream of notes are mediated by substantial melodic phrases so your ear gets the satisfaction of tension and release. If he just played the fast stuff it'd be boring, and if he just played the melodic stuff you wouldn't get the release of tension.

[@achaea6587]

2:20 i can't say this enough, this moment is so incredibly special to me. the sheer overwhelming emotion that flooded over my body quite literally made me forget i even existed, i haven't been one with the music like that in such a long time.

[@tmjohnson12051989]

Brings tears to my eyes every time without fail.

[@morganfagerman817]

I know... I'm a 66 year old man and I can't listen to this performance without tearing up.... It's unbelievable.... 😢❤

oh my god same, that chord change hits so hard

[@UserNameUserNameUser]

1:22 Years and years of practice to reach perfection and as a reward you get people clapping on 1 & 3. 😩

[@7riXter]

And the enthusiasm 😂

[@izaakwedgwood9153]

Better than those absolute criminals who clap on 2 and 4

[@nairocamilo]

You will always have people clapping on 1 3 Just find a better sound engineer

[@johnredberg]

Purple Rain is a slow rock ballad at ~ 60 bpm. She was clearly clapping on every beat. The song is so slow that clapping on either 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 at 60 bpm feels very weird. Try it. The notation here is essentially double time to avoid having to write 64th notes during Cory's fast runs. Btw, the original sheet music is written in "actual" time (e.g. Pur-ple is 2 eighth notes, whereas here it's 2 quarter notes). Ironically, while she's truly feeling the music, you're complaining that her clapping doesn't match up with measure chosen here for notation convenience. Great comment buddy. 😩

[@izaakwedgwood9153]

@@johnredberg 113 bpm, 57 is if you're playing half speed

[@chipmonkey7266]

Risk of Rain 2 Sky Meadow type beat. Jokes aside that's was the BEST solo I have heard. Hands down.

[@cel870]

my thoughts as well

[@kingkrusherg8367]

The comment I was looking for

[@NickLasherDB]

The actual soundtrack of Sky meadow in RoR2 was a homage, if i recall it correctly, to Purple Rain, which you can tell by the name of actual song(The Rain Formerly Known as Purple). Prince, the author of Purple Rain, also had a name of The Artist Formerly Known As Prince

[@tordana]

There's something about this song, man. This performance, Marco Parisi's Seaboard performance at NAMM, and Prince's performance at the Super Bowl halftime are all some of the best live musical moments ever.

[@EvanDwinnell]

1:02 always gives me chills

[@TIMxisxHERE]

North Sea Jazz always has amazing sound engineers. So many great clips around.

[@7riXter]

1:20 yeah girl you got it 🎉

[@Wout1337]

I was so into it and then 1:20 happened

[@yammy641]

MAN I'M SO GLAD THIS IS HERE!! Purple Rain is such an amazing song that anyone as talented and skilled as Cory Henry can play dynamically (Even Prince himself didn't perform it the same way twice live). This was the most majestic this song has ever been; Cory and the Metropole orchestra really transcended this song from a rock ballad

[@Timcornetenfonte]

I think I’ve listened to this song a hundred times. Every time it hits right. Rest in Power Prince

[@lunarmusicofficial]

I've never heard someone make a synthesizer sing before, but lord I'm so happy I did now

[@doctordonutdude]

This is absolutely amazing, and it's even crazier that you can see Owen Wilson singing at 2:15.

[@sasukesarutobi3862]

I don't think I could ever thank you enough for introducing me to this performance.

[@thomasafrica9724]

You know you're on fire when the people who are playing with you smile.

[@bobcorn]

I guess the tears in this song come from something different. In the beginning he says its a special one to him, and you see hee is very sad the first moments of the piece. IMHO he is playing this song for his father he lost in early years . And that also makes the song really touching. What a great musician but also man he is.

[@ciarancannon]

Quite simply the most beautiful, soul-stirring performance I have ever seen on KZbin. It moved me to my core when I first encountered it.

[@charlietighe]

When the 16th notes are the slow rhythms... 😲

[@emmanuellyngberg5494]

I have been waiting for this transcription for a while now. Pure soul from Cory.

[@RayfieldA]

I truly wish that Prince himself could have witnessed this performance to see how much we love him. This is why they now say, we need to give the people that we love, their flowers Before they die. 💐💜

[@zarek1]

title wasn't kidding, crying my eyes out because of this. Cory is a beast.

My personal favorite section is the one that starts 1:05 and I’m not sure what about it I like so much it just feels really good to me

[@atomic3695]

I think a song was inspired by this song called "The Rain Formerly Known as Purple" by Chris Christoudoulou. That melody at 1:05 is nearly identical to the one from The Rain Formerly Known as Purple so it would make sense

[@anabomination1788]

@@atomic3695 it is actually just the solo in Purple Rain by Prince. The Rain Formerly Known as Purple just uses that motif.
