A mind-blowing performance.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Anyway, I'm just going to leave this here, seeing everyone always does the While My Guitar Gently Weeps solo thing. This is my favorite Prince performance.

Prince sold over 150 million records worldwide,[415][416][417] ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time.[418] He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016.[419][257] In 2016, he was posthumously honored with a Doctor of Humane Letters by the University of Minnesota.[420] In 2022, he was inducted into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.[421]
He has won seven Grammy Awards, seven Brit Awards, six American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the film Purple Rain), and a Golden Globe Award.[422] Two of his albums, Purple Rain (1984) and Sign o' the Times (1987), received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year nominations. 1999 (1982), Purple Rain and Sign o' the Times have all been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[423] At the 28th Grammy Awards, Prince was awarded the President's Merit Award.[423] Prince was also honored with the American Music Award for Achievement and American Music Award of Merit at the American Music Awards of 1990 and American Music Awards of 1995 respectively. At the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, he was honored with the Billboard Icon Award.[424][425][426] In 2019, the 1984 film Purple Rain was added by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[427]"
He was an incredible artist and performer, so sad that he left us way too soon. What bugs me was that I would have loved him to do a kick ass guitar driven album, preferably all played live with him as solo guitar player. Prince sure could rock if he wanted to, literally everyone is in awe of the While My Guitar Gently Weeps video posted above.
I wish I'd have had his songwriting skills and his ambition and his musical innovation and his dancing skills and his charisma and and his innate sense of rhythm and groove and and and!
