Prince always let his band members shine their own talent on stage. He was generous in spirit but a hard task master, so his musicians were always at their best.

TO SEE HIM LIVE, WAS SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE. IT WAS LIFE CHANGING 4 ME.

Basically, he's the best drum programmer ever

Prince is overwhelming!

Yaaaassss!!! Such an EPIC per4mance! I’m so happy that younger generations now gets 2 appreci8 the stuff that my generation grew up on 💜💜💜

That video is just 1 song from the Prince concert movie "Sign O The Times"...........you must watch it. It changed my life. The best hour & a half concert you'll ever see. There's more where that came from

Man, this is so fun watching you on this journey. As you discover ("His vocals! He can sing!") the breadth of his incredible talent, it's a joy to watch. I suspect you'll come to the same conclusion and see, ultimately, that Prince is a once-in-a-many-lifetime ball of talents. He is our Bach, our Beethoven. Yes, there's another great singers. Other great instrumentalists. Other great songwriters. Other great dancers. Other great composers. Other great performers. But there's nobody, NOBODY that put it all together like Prince. He blessed us for almost 40 years, with songs, albums and performances (sometimes more than 100 a year) and who knows how many more gems from the vault we don't even know about yet. Prince is the best.

Cant wait to see another prince reaction with you!!

JFK Jr. had Prince perform this at his wedding. It’s so, so good!!!💜

@@kayrobbie5840 oops, I stand corrected. It was the song played for their first dance at their wedding but he wasn’t there performing it. Mixed it up in my mind with him performing at the White House 🤦‍♀️

you are going to have a lot of favorites depending on how you feel.

One of the best live musical films ever!

The best live concert ever. And Purple rain overtook saturday night fever to me. They are 1 and 2 respectively

Looking forward to your chronological album reaction 💜

U have a l9ng way to go!!! Prince was incredible!!! Look also at his live award show concerts lol cause he can make one song into a CONCERT!!! RIP YOUR PURPLE ROYAL BADNESS 💜 😢

17:23 R.I.P Prince and Bonnie💜💜. If you're going down the Prince rabbit hole I can't wait to see you react to P***y Control 😂😂

This had me dancing in my chair too--You understood the assignment! I'm so happy you are enjoy one of his live cuts. "Forever In My Life" is a classic and beloved jam among Prince fans. The studio (album) version is so great. Not your usual sounding 1980s love song. Amazing track.

Haha! I'm glad you were vibing out with me! Hope to see you on the next one! 🤪❤️✨️

This is one of the reasons I was willing to go broke just to attend a Prince concert! Plus he never had any "opening act" and nearly 3hours of pure bliss from PRN!!!🎉🎉

False. For the Sign o the times tour, Madhouse was playing for the opening. I can tell, i was there in 1987. You can find live recording of madhuse opening on youtube, in germany show.

I've seen that live in Paris, 1987. My first Prince concert. Madhouse for the opening.

Boni Boyer was his keyboard player at the time and had the solo.

Fun react, good choice! RIP Boni Boyer, great vocalist! Sign of The Times/LoveSexy was a transition band to the NPG. He was getting less synth sounding and more acoustic, definitely more funky.

Another dope reaction. Shared w peeps. U got the funk aspect. Called Minnesota Funk, which was black people migrating to Minnesota in the 60's, from Mississippi, coming to the whitest town in America, called a vanilla market, no black radio, but black kids, who were musicians, playing along w rock music, but adding funk to the song. Prince often did that no matter the genre. One example is the extended version of "little red Corvette" you LL hear some funk in the middle of the record, though it's a pop rock song. History of that era: sign o the times material was revolution material, some in purple rain era, most post purple rain. He just taught the new band the songs. Though "I could never take the place of your man" was from 1981, and you can hear a similar melody in "when u were mine" which was 1980. This was initially going to be an international tour. Band s playing in an outdoor arena, in the rain, prince said keep playing, lightning hit the keyboard. He moved the filming inside, which became "sign o the times" film, taped in Paris and Paisley park. The recording engineer had to take 200 people from Paisley park and make them sound like 20,000. She said after she finished that, she never went back to watch it. From this era, u have to check out "For those of u on Valium" it's a 1987 rehearsal for this tour, should be on you tube "Sign o the times" concert film. High energy show Love sexy 1988 Germany, same band a year later. This is a hits show, played in medley form, different genres played. On you tube. Film and 88 show have a Sheila e drum solo

Aww thank you so much my friend!! Really appreciate that! 🤪❤️✨️

HUGE fave!! Still revisiting and chair dancing!! And blessing Hypnobob!! What a JAM!!! Head's up; my Prince Journey idea is on the way. You wanted to hear it - you will!! 💜💜💜

I played the VHS to death back in high school, this was my favourite P era

Thank you so much for this, Luke. This song means so much to me and this performance in particular. So much so, I have the title tattooed on my upper arm. I have seen others react to this and they just don't get it! This is spiritual! I always say that you don't just hear Prince .... you feel him! This is just so damn great. A lot of people don't realise how amazing Princes voice was. Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson both had ranges around 4 to 4.5 octaves, Prince was close to 6 octaves. So just as a singer, he was head and shoulders above the rest. This performance is like going to church. Absolutely amazing how he transitions into the song 'It'. Yes there's 2 songs here. He starts by declaring absolute love and wanting to share his life with someone then moves into the song 'It' which is simply about sex, and him never being able to get enough of it with this person. This performance is so mesmerising with just very simple instrumentation. The lady vocalist is the wonderful Boni Boyer, RIP. She passed away of a brain aneurysm when she was still in her 30's...too sad! You need to watch the whole concert, it's truly fabulous. It's the 'Sign 'O' The Times concert movie'. The other ladies you refer to are of course Rosie Gaines and in the doc you mentioned it was the powerhouse Mavis Staples. He always had amazing female vocalists around him ... he loved the female voice. He always championed women musicians and performers. Sorry but I could write a book about my love and respect for this beautiful, amazing human being 💜

I was 13 when Sign "☮︎" the Times was released in 1987. I was 9 when his music hit me like an awakening. This particular part of the concert was interesting, in case you missed it, it was in parts emotional if you will. Prince and The Revolution had just disbanded and he was going through heartache from his breakup with his fiance. 'Forever In My Life' and 'It' were songs about her. The screaming that lead to him dropping the mic, wiping tears, and the band members kinda looking over at him with a bit concern was unscripted. The songs started a little playful but then got more dramatic 7:07 on your reaction video. While Bonnie took over the house, Prince was starting to cook and I think it just needed to come out. So if you go back and watch, now you know a little background. His friend Dr.Fink knew is was another magic moment. I don't have any recommendations but anything from Sign "☮︎" the Times you cannot go wrong. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Liv4luv 0(+->

Ahh thanks so much for detailing that! 😜 I am actually going through chronologically so I am sure I will get to that - I just reacted to his self titled 'Prince' album of 1979... wow!!! 💜

Her name was Bony Boyer. Unfortunately she passed away december 4th 1996, 9 years after this performance.

I just subscribed 2 your channel... I saw the 3 reactions that u did 2 the 1999 album & I thought 2 myself, ok let me see what song by Prince that u do next that u react 2 💯🔥😎 & I must say Damn...this was a badass reaction & u were spot on with everything that u said... u were spot on with your expectations your face, with what u were feeling & how u articulate what u what 2 say about everything that u see & that u say.... thankx 4 goin' down this Prince rabbit hole& sharing it with us Prince Friends 💯🔥😎 there r so many great Prince song's & I'm glad that u will & or r gonna start at b-ginning & work your way through Prince's music catalog 💯🔥😎 this is gonna b a badass journey & experience & I'm on board 4 this 💯🔥😎 keep up your good work & I am gonna watch your " Nothing Compares 2 U " reaction & I can not wait 2 see it 💯🔥😎

Before going solo after his high school band, Grand Central (except for Andre Cymone, bassist, and later picking up Morris Day, drummer, for his opening band creation), Prince did some music with Pepé Willie's 94 East. You should check out the song "Just Another Sucker" from 1977. Normally, I don't like the remasters better than the original, but this one is an exception, but it's your call. I am excited to go on another Prince rabbit hole journey. Welcome, new friend of Prince.

SOme songs of this movie were re-filmed in paisley park (along original live sound recording), because of technicals issues on original footage (lights, foggy images, etc...). If you watch closely enough, you can feel were it happens.

You should review Prince’s live “The Ryde Dyvine” and “The Beautiful Experience music films next… phenomenal examples of Prince being our modern day Amadeus.

So enjoying your Prince journey

Glad you enjoy it! It's sooooo good!! And my Patreon Members are helping me with the guide - done 1978, 1979, JUST finished 1980 and Dirty Mind so will be looking at 1981 next week! Thanks for watching with me! 😃❤️

REST IN PEACE PRINCE 🕊 💘.

You will see a difference in his 70s music also Uptown 80s I feel for you 70s sign of the times 90s all different vibes

I didn't know you sang bro??😮😮🎉

Its two songs blended into one the other is called "IT" the songs are from Sign o the times album

Yeah, a James Brown moment there, but when I think in the pain in the throat singing like that... Ouch! I love this Sign O' The Times recording, I've lost count of how many times I've played it complete in my 20s. And the double vinyl album is in my Top 5. I mean in my Top 5 of ALL ALBUMS EVER, not just Prince's.

The pain in the throat singing lol. love that! Thanks so much for watching with me and look forward to getting to that part of the chronology!! 💜✨

Yo, if there was a video made for you to watch it would be Prince & Beyonce, opening the grammy awards, 2 of your favorites 2gether

Great reaction. You have to finish the second album of 1999.

If u want to hear something that shows off his range but is a quiet r&b slow jam u must hear the studio version,maybe just audio, of his song ADORE, not a live version, u will be amazed, and different then the funky stuff
