Prince would play anywhere at 110%. A bar. An awards show. The consummate performer. No one comes close to how good he was.

12 and half minutes of utter genius. The greatest musician/ performer of my generation ( I’m 50 )

The fucking GOAT. Saw this guy 57 times live and it was not enough. The pride I feel watching him. RIP P💜

This performance can't be from this world!

Prince was a fine wine. Every live performance was extra-maturing. What a fine craft he was! He was beyond what is normal. He would touch where soul & spirit separates. His music connects you with the Universe, something out of this world.

Every single time Prince hit the stage was like "Hey, I'm here just to remind you that I am, among other things, the greatest showman that has ever graced Mother Earth".

Probably one of the finest live performances ever recorded

Prince was just possibly the best, most original artist to set foot on a stage in the last 40 years. Absolute command of every second he's out there, astoundingly good and tasteful electric guitar player and a stellar bandleader. What a loss. I'm so pissed I never saw him live.

The brit award show he appeared on that year was incredible. The "artists" that won awards that year were SO great. No one actually ever heard from them ever again. Don't we all remember and listen to west life and kaiser chiefs? It's pathetic. People actually stood up and screamed for bands that no one ever gave a shit about 6 months after their "hits".

Not even my favorite kind of music but - I have to say that I think he is the best musician of our time.

On stage with Prince, you better bring your best, every second.

I want to tell you a true story... I was doing backstage interviews for a British TV Show called CDUK at this Brit Awards. When Prince performed Purple Rain I literally caught myself with open-jawed at his genius watching from the green room. When I snapped myself out of it, I looked around and saw Blondie, Madonna, Kanye West and Noel Gallagher standing watching the same monitor with the same dumb-founded expression on their faces as me. They were all superstars. But Prince was a megastar.

It's easy to forget that Prince is one of the best guitarists of all time. It's also easy to forget that Prince is also one of the greatest dancers/performers of all time. Incredibly, his ability to play and record every instrument on his album is also easy to forget. Pick your favourite front man from any group and they might have been special in a particular area, but they weren't elite in just about every single category. That belongs to Prince.

OMG how I miss this man, such a shame he is no longer with us. Saw him live once, best God damn concert I have ever been. Amazing artist guitar player dancer. RIP Prince

He is next to Jimi Hendrix in playing the quitar. And he is very good 😊 at it too. Purple Rain was one of his best songs, God Bless Him, thank you.

Some thought him arrogant and proud.....nothing could be further from the truth. He gave so many others, particularly women, a great start to their careers by sharing his stage. With his boundless energy and talent, he could have done it alone.

I got to see this legend perform live when I was 13yrs old, it was in Oakland, Calif, and it was in support of his Under The Cherry Moon album....it was more than epic....and look at Sheila E killin it on them drums in this vid!! Damn she's fine as hell, ain't she?!!

Sheila E , Wendy and Lisa as well! All legends

It simply wasn't fair for any other musician or performing artist to be compared to such a rare and immense talent, every time Prince performed he reinforced his legacy as the greatest performer, musician, and songwriter, & producer of music the world has ever seen. Literally nobody could play 30+ instruments, sing every vocal part including backups, write the music for all of the instruments, create the arrangements, and record each song performing all parts on his own with the help of a single engineer (Peggy McCreary) or audio tech (Susan Rogers) with the vast majority of songs being completed from start to finish in less than 24hrs with very few exceptions such as "When Doves Cry" which was recorded over 3 consecutive days & "Purple Rain" which was recorded live during the production of the movie Purple Rain with several overdubs added in studio. Beyond the music that Prince recorded and released under his own name he also created the groups "Vanity" and "The Time" among others that were essentially his alter-ego's, one feminine & one masculine, that also served as his musical competition and gave the illusion of a diverse emerging Minneapolis music scene in the process despite Prince writing the songs, performing all instruments in the recording studio & recording a guide vocal for the lead singer to closely follow.
