Popular Post RussTCB Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) New directors cut. Different camera angles and better sound mix. If you've never seen this, hit the 3:28 mark for one of the greatest guitar solos ever performed: Edited May 2, 2021 by RussTCB 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking it was a trick, but given Prince body flexibility I assume he could came back by himself, a lot of Jimi Hendrix style in that solo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince was a music fanatic. He surely would of heard one of the most famous bands in the worlds songs. Especially if he was to perform it with george son and on national tv. Even this interview proposed around the world in a day was inspired via Sgt Peppers/magical mystery tour after picking it up off bobby z from the revolution. I reckon he would of expanded and listened to other songs or members solos especially Georges. https://americansongwriter.com/when-prince-first-heard-the-beatles/ What I had read though he never rehearsed the solo with the others. The solo was a surprise. Edited May 3, 2021 by vloors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 For most Prince fans, this was just Prince being Prince. We knew for years he could play like this, it only came as a surprise to the people who never knew the full breadth and scope of his talent as a musician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Super Bowl performance was the same way for me. Nearly everyone I know shit their pants and was like "Wow, how amazing". My take was "Yeah, that's just Prince doing what he does". Both performances are stunning to casual or non Prince fans though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of rock fans, especially throughout the 90s/early 00s didn't really have Prince on their radar, so when he did shit like the Superbowl or the Rock Hall performance, people were genuinely shocked at how great he was.

axlfan88 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Coming out on June 3rd: James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York’s Carrier Dome—the Purple Rain Tour performance that was beamed to millions live via satellite and captured for posterity in the Grammy Award-nominated concert film Prince and The Revolution: Live, and has since gone down in history as one of the most iconic live recordings in pop and rock history. For the first time, this powerful performance by Prince and The Revolution has been entirely remixed from the original 2” multitrack master reels, the picture has been newly restored onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound and the audio will be made available for the first time physically. The new version of Prince and The Revolution: Live will be available on 2CDs plus the Blu-ray with a 24-page book with never-before-seen photos of the Purple Rain Tour and new liner notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
