I often forget that people are younger than me and didn’t grow up as a teenager with Prince on repeat. This is the final scene in his movie Purple Rain which is largely autobiographical. It’s a beautifully cathartic ending and makes sense when you’ve gone through the journey. Prince was undoubtedly one of the most talented and important musicians ever. Glad you’re checking him out.

Me too and I weep for them😂

I never even thought to suggest Prince. Omg you want to go down this rabbit hole, let's go. 1st. You have to watch Prince Purple rain super bowl halftime show. It's not even a question it is the greatest halftime performance ever. 2nd. A absolutely vicious guitarist. Check out Rock and roll Hall of Fame performance of "As My guitar gently weeps" featuring Prince. I grew up in and live St Paul MN. Being 20 something in the mid-90s and being a bar fly. I had the opportunity to see representatives of Prince we go out to the biggest clubs 20 minutes before close and announce free concerts by Prince at Paisley Park after bar close. It was crazy. Had the opportunity to go on four different occasions only twice made it in. Thousands would line up no matter the time of year. The two times I made it in, only once he actually performed. You can't even imagine how cool it was.

Watch prince play the GUITAR solo on 'MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS' for George Harrison’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction. It's mind blowing. ✌️

Dude, you gotta watch his super bowl half time performance of this! He plays ALL the instruments. On his first record, he recorded each instrumental and vocal part separately, so it's him playing everything in the recordings.

I’m 53 and live in St Louis, MO. I went to every concert he did in St Louis from my teenage years on, I even went to one when I was 8 months pregnant in the summer of 1997. There’s nothing like a Prince concert! Hearing his guitar solos 7th row on the floor is incredible!!

I saw Prince live in the late 1980s. I was completely surprised, shocked and blown away at his talent. His large vocal range and his ability to always sing on key with an elevated heart rate from dancing, expert dance skills, jumping of the speakers, playing multiple instruments at a high level, showmanship, stamina, difficult choreography, etc. I walked away from that performance feeling like I will never see that kind of performance again. I knew I had witnessed something that was a once in a lifetime experience. I think he possessed the most musical talent overall, than any other person in modern history.

His Superbowl performance is the greatest of all time in my opinion. It was raining while he sang purple rain. God did that.

Purple is the color of royalty, he is Prince.

You should look up his performance during the Super Bowl in 2007 with an intense rain storm. It felt entirely "otherworldly." There is an article somewhere about how on the day of the Super Bowl the producer called him and told him it was raining and his response was "can you make it rain harder?"

He did this at a Super Bowl, and it was pouring rain. It's an EPIC performance. Look it up.

My mom was in the hospital in a coma when Prince passed. He was her favorite singer. I mentioned that to the medium I was talking to. Prince (in Spirit) went to my mom and explained to her what was going on with her, then sang to her. I'll never forget him for that. 💜💜💜

I've seen Prince live twice. Two of the best concerts I've ever been to! The ultimate showman and a musical genius!

💜Prince was perfection. A musical genius in the truest sense of the word. He rarely slept, as music was constantly being written in his head and he needed it to come alive. He rarely enjoyed life outside of music and when he did, inspiration for a song would usually strike. He was tortured with this blessing…

Great reaction! I saw Prince in 2004 for his "Musicology" tour. He ended that concert with Purple Rain and it was next level. The man was a whole vibe and I could feel it as soon as I walked into the performance center. Easily the best concert I've ever attended!

Prince, such an amazing artist. Another lost way too soon.

Prince was a self-taught expert level musician on 27 different instruments. Add in his voice, stage presence, and his deep thinking lyrical and songwriting prowess. Prince is arguably the greatest overall musical performer in our known history. #NOCAP

As a metal head, this soundtrack was right there with all my Metallica and Iron Maiden.

Bro back in the 80's if your PARTY was boring you would DROP the NEEDLE on this Vynl then watch your party go off the chain. ✌️

Prince was/is and always will be music. His influence can't be overstated. Anyone who enjoys music should thank Prince💜

On his debut his first hit, “I wanna be your lover” …in the audition demo as he couldn’t afford a band, he played all the instruments himself. I don’t know how many he could play but it was a pretty good number. The song Purple Rain was from the film of the same name. It is semi autobiographical. He is truly a legend.

I love me some prince 💜✨🎶🙌🏽 R.I.P. PRINCE YOUR MASTERPIECE LIVES ON ! 🎶Music is life! 🎶

I saw Prince 6 times over the years.😊, including The Purple Rain Tour in ‘85. I feel for anyone who never got to see him live, he was unbelievable!

I believe he played every instrument on his first album the man was a true artist so so talented!

Prince was the greatest musician who ever lived! He played almost every instrument and was truly a creative genius! Watch the movie! It’s awesome!

Prince was an excellent guitarist!!! I’m extremely sad he passed so young. He’s well worth taking a dive into more of his music! Love him!!

Need watch Prince's Super Bowl halftime performance. Best one I have seen. Plus he did it in the rain. They told him it was forecast to rain. He told them he hoped it rained hard. What a show.

I was at his concert. It was amazing. His stage presence was unbelievable. He did this whole unplugged part when you could actually love and appreciate how talented he was. He could rock a pantsuit and heels better than any woman I know. He was sexy as hell and completely amazing. A true legend

His last performance was at the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta. A week after his death the theater played the movie Purple Rain, and the piano Prince had played was there in stage in a purple light. I never saw him perform live, but attending that tribute at the scene of his last concert was incredibly moving. Check out his Super Bowl performance of Purple Rain in Miami during a rainstorm. It’s unforgettable.

Prince was the greatest. I was blessed to have been a teenager when he arrived. I was even more blessed to see him live many times...a groupie you might say. Prince only sings about Love Sex and God. So much music to explore, he was prolific.

Not only was Prince super talented but he also was so intelligent, emotionally and intellectually. A beautiful human being.

I was 12 when I went to his concert in 1984. I saw him again with my daughter in 2016. It's a shame I will never be able to take my 13 year old grandson to see him. Such a talented man

I went to a Prince concert back in 1987. I had the best time ever. No one sat in their seats - we were standing and dancing the whole time.

I saw Prince in 2015, less than a year before he passed in Washington, DC. During a week he was in town to perform at the White House, Prince decided to have essentially a pop-up show at the Warner Theater. He announced on Tuesday of that week that he would perform that Sunday at 8pm, and tickets went on sale 2 days later (Thursday morning). The performance sold out so quickly that he announced a 2nd show on Sunday night immediately after the first show (so roughly at 11pm). We managed to snag tickets for the 11pm show, and it was definitely special. In a venue with just under 2000 capacity, it felt intimate and joyous. The crowd was so thrilled to be there. To see him. And Stevie Wonder joined him for a 5-song encore!

Not just a talented guitarist, a ridiculously gifted musician. All aspects, whether it’s songwriting, performing, singing or producing.

Biblically speaking, purple is the colour of Royalty. 🎯🙏🕊

I saw Prince in the early 2000's on the Musicology tour. One of the best performers I've ever seen. Genius. 🙏

In his Super Bowl performance he sang pop, rock, soul, and folk music. The man could do it all.

My first concert! Oh how I love the purple one 💜💜💜 Times were definitely different. The concert was in another town that we happen to have a field trip in on the same day. Me and my girlfriend talked our teacher into letting us off at the Colosseum in the town An hour and 45 minutes away from home, no parental permission or anything because my cousin was going to give us a ride home. We actually got dropped off at the Colosseum by the school activity bus. Today the teacher and bus driver would be in jail lol, but it was so much lighter time in the 80’s and 90’s! Good times 💜💜💜💜

The greatest talent, the greatest performer of our generation, and not a single doubt about it.

Prince was the MAN! If you ever got to see him perform live, he always gave such an exhilarating show! One of my favorite songs of his is, "The Dance" from the 3121 soundtrack check it out. Another awesome guitar performance is, Bambi off his 2nd debut album. Check out his retention of My guitar gently weeps with Tom Petty incendiary!!!!!!!!!!!

While My Guitar Gently Weeps w/Prince. A MUST listen.

I’m 58. I was a freshman in college when his movie and album Purple Rain were released. I attended 3 absolutely incredible Prince concerts. His music is part of my life’s soundtrack. 💜

Prince. Denver. 80s. Best concert ever! What a party. RIP Prince, we miss you. 😢

on the studio albums he plays all instruments that are recorded. his band was only for the tours.

I saw Prince live once and it was pure magic. That man had a presence that was out of this world.

1983, San Francisco Cow Palace, Prince's Purple Rain Tour. My ears were ringing for several days, someone could scream into your ear and you couldn't hear a thing! People went crazy! RIP, Prince.

Prince wore purple and loved the color before converting religion. I saw him in bars and clubs in the early 80's before he hit - he put his all into each performance. Everyone participated- he had his own sign language.

prince was the greatest musician ever fullstop . nobody can touch him

I have gone to a Prince concert, and it was freaking awesome! He played like 7 or 8 different instruments and was great at all of them! He was electrifying! Very underrated guitarist.

Yes, I've gone to a concert. He played for 3 hours! He had a corvette, bed, and basketball court on the stage! It was phenomenal!

Back in 1980 I went to my very first Prince concert, yeah I'm old lol. And he was opening for Rick James and an R&B singer named Lenny Williams was the opening act. Man Prince tore that concert up and some people were leaving after he left the stage. Dude was the greatest singer, writer, producer, arranger, and composer to ever live.

I have seen pretty much every legend since 1980. He is the greatest live performer and musician I have ever seen.

Prince played multiple instruments. His first album was all him...all instruments and vocals. He was a badass! I was on my way to his concert in the 80's in Fresno, CA., but my car broke down. Spent most of the evening in an auto repair shop. Never had the chance to see him again.
