Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" REACTION 

Prince throws his guitar up and it never lands. He threw it into heaven to play later.

Q: Which instruments did Prince play? A: Yes

Prince is probably the most accomplished, full-featured musician that ever lived. He could play EVERY instrument, write music, write lyrics, produce, you name it, he could do it. We lost THE BEST when we lost him. Period.

Now you see why lifelong Prince fans demand people put sum respect on that mans name!!! He was the coldest periodt

The guy that is singing with the beard and the glasses that you wondered about is Jeff Lynne. He's the leader of ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). They have some absolutely amazing tunes.

the looks Prince gives Tom Petty after falling off the stage, getting lifted back up, and is like, 'now watch this shit' before ripping one of the best solo lines I've ever heard, just amazing shit.

Bro, everybody in the Rock world respects Prince’s guitar skills.

The drummer here was quoted saying "Everybody wonders where that guitar went, and I gotta tell you, I was on the stage, and I wonder where it went, too."

Jeff Lynne is the one with the dark glasses and hat he is from ELO...Steve Winwood is on the organ and the the Younger man on the Guitar is George Harrison's Son, George wrote the song and is being honored he was one of the Beatles....

The second singer, with the sunglasses & the mustache, is Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Him & Tom Petty were bandmates with George Harrison in The Traveling Wilburys. George Harrison wrote the song & the original version is on The Beatles' "White Album" with Eric Clapton playing lead guitar. Steve Winwood is the white guy playing the organ. The very young white guy playing acoustic guitar is George Harrison's son, Dhani.

RIP to Tom Petty, Prince, and that guitar.

Prince was a real ninja and nobody knew it because ninjas dont brag on themselves! He was a badass on the piano,guitar, bass, vocals, writing, composing, and many more things. He just kept it to himself. He was a humble person and will be missed! Look up how many songs he wrote for other people that were huge hits.

Prince was a master on guitar, as with everything he did. Such a talented man. Such a loss.

It was so stinking adorable to see how thrilled Dhani Harrison was with Prince's little falling move. And then their interaction afterwards and Prince smiling at everyone. He really loved performing and showing off and was so so good at it. It's so great to see that joy.

Interviewer: "So, Mr. Clapton, how does it feel to be the best guitar player on earth?" Eric Clapton: "I don't know. Ask Prince."

Love seeing the joy in Dhani’s face when Prince is getting ‘spicy with it’! He’s obviously so proud to see his dad’s song played by a legend. Tom Petty and Prince passed of similar issues. Legends respecting Legends. RIP

Prince could play 27 instruments. All SELF taught. He truly was a legend indeed.

Prince -- the only celeb death that made me cry. He was a prodigy just like Mozart, and Prince played pretty much every instrument you could think of. ❤

I feel Prince has always been an underrated artist, because people look at how eccentric he was instead of how good he was. He has always been one of my favorite, and his first album, which is a masterpiece, was the very first CD I bought back when CD players came out.

Jeff Lynne "Strange Magic" "Mr. Blue Sky" "Don't Bring Me Down"

Prince was a musical prodigy. He could play pretty much all instruments. You have to do a dive into more Prince stuff, you won't be disappointed. 💕

Legend has it that Prince did not rehearse with the group. He showed up to perform, and showed out!!

and to think they were worried that Prince wouldn't play the iconic solo true-to-form. Petty fought for him to do it, and this is what happened. Absolutely iconic performance

The most amazing Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance ever. Sad to see everyone that has passed.😞

Steve Winwood; where to to begin? I'd begin with him singing lead in the group Traffic 'Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys" and end with "Higher Love" that he did with Chaka Khan. That shows his range. He's a legend.

On a stage full of legends, Prince stole that song. I've seen this video many times over the years & Prince is always a revelation! You've got to check out his halftime Superbowl "Purple Rain" IN THE RAIN!

Prince was one of the most underrated musicians in modern history. Fuck man, he recorded all of the instruments on his first album solo. No engineer. Prince, a room full of instruments, and a booth in England.

Love the way he keeps smiling 💜☮️ he knows he’s badass........

Notice the look on Dhani's face when Prince leans back. Priceless.

I cant remember which famous musician said it but somebody said (I'm paraphrasing) "if prince wasn't known as one of the worlds greatest song writers and and innovative musicians he would have been remembered as one of its greatest guitarists"

Prince was a badass. Never really made the type of music I'm interested in, but I really admire his skill. His legendary status is well deserved. RIP

Man, first of all, your outfit is on POINT 👍 There will never be another Prince. His death hit me so hard. I went into a month long depression, and cried for 2 weeks straight. It just, it broke my heart really. It hurt my soul. Such a horrible, needless loss of a true musical genius. The like of which we will not see again in our lifetimes. He was the Mozart of our generation, and many generations. He mastered 27 instruments and was an absolute virtuoso composer, vocalist, songwriter, musician and performer. What’s even more unbelievable, he never had one music lesson his entire life. HE WAS SELF TAUGHT ON EVERY SINGLE INSTRUMENT. Equally shocking he never had one vocal lesson in his life, he just naturally had a staggeringly wide, angelic vocal range and falsetto from the gods themselves; a voice that could break your heart, make you laugh, make you cry, make you dance, or sex you up, he could do it all with that angelic voice. But could also light a guitar on fire like the devil himself as we saw here. The incredible storytelling in his songwriting, his unique, creative, sometimes risqué sometimes tongue in cheek lyricism, and prolific musical capabilities are simply staggering. He released 39 albums in his lifetime. 39. And there are reportedly at least 50 completed unreleased albums still in his vault. In his earlier years, he was also quite the provocateur, pushing boundaries, taking risks, obliterating the confines of the conventional, breaking rules in every way possible from his performances to his musicianship and vocal style in the blending of genres, right down to his impeccable outfits, hair, makeup and heels. He was prettier than your girlfriend, but he could still take her from you with a wink and smile if he wanted too 😂 he wore his sexuality up from and center, and sometimes cut out in the back too 😈 😂 his unbelievable talent, abilities, and sheer musicality truly put him in a class all by himself. All hail the purple one, gone but NEVER forgotten. Because even though he’s gone, his music lives on. And at the very least, how great is that we were alive at the same time as the Mozart of many, many generations? Alive to witness firsthand, the one and only Prince, a true musical genius, in his actual time. Weren’t we the lucky ones 💜

Dhani Harrison is next to Tom, he is George Harrison's son

First solo guy: Pretty good. Prince: hold my Purple.

My bro you need to see the "Prince Performs “Purple Rain” During Downpour | Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show | NFL"

In the list of greatest guitar players, Prince is always in it, no matter who makes the list!!!

Legends paying tribute to a legend. RIP George Harrison. A shame we have since lost Prince and Tom Petty too. RIP to them also.

Next to Tom Petty you can see Dhani Harrison on acoustic guitar. This is a tribute to his late Dad, George Harrison of the Beatles. This is a great version of the Beatles song While My Guitar Gently Weeps written by George that they played at The RRHOF after he passed. Many of George’s close friends here.Though I love this version it is worth listening to the ultimate, the original by the Beatles with Eric Clapton on lead guitar. George, you are forever missed. 💙

Was supposed to be a tribute to George, not to confirm Prince as a guitar player. God Bless D. He looks exactly like his dad! 🥰❤️

A reporter asked Eric Clapton: “What’s it like to be the greatest guitar player on Earth?” And he replied: “I don’t know. Ask Prince.”

George, Tom, Jeff, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison were all in The Travelling Wilburys

came for the Prince guitar solo meltdown

Interviewer to Eric Clapton: what’s it like to be the best guitar player in the world? Clapton: ask Prince.

I read that this was Prince’s reaction to being snubbed by the best guitarists list, not even mentioned. This is irrefutable proof that he was an instrumental genius. Also, I don’t know what it is.....but us ladies LOVE Prince! He was a swanky, sexy, confident man.

I love a man who can shred a guitar while wearing high heels. I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

He used to play all the instruments on his albums.

You’ll learn. We will educate you . Start with Tom petty “you don’t know how it feels”. Jeff Lynne , ELO, “mr blue sky” then Steve winwood, Blind Faith, “can’t find my way home”.

Holy shit I'm so excited...Prince left everyone else here in the dust...one of the best guitar solos EVER.

Prince plays all the instruments. He literally plays all the instruments on his albums.

Guitar heaven on earth....when good guitarists get on stage...that’s George Harrison’s( Beatles) son with them, he looks just like his Father. Tribute to George Harrison, he wrote the song. Jeff Lynne- sunglasses- ELO the band, Steve Winwood- ( plays keys and guitar- he’s on that Hammond organ you hear--Blind Faith, Traffic, Spencer Davis Group, and a solo career too. Talented and one of Eric Clapton’s friends too. 🎼🎶🎸🎸🎸🎹🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️😎🤘Prince had a tendency to just go.....I’m guessing they were prepared for that.....🔥look at the joy on Harrison’s face when Prince leans back....it’s beautiful ❤️

Watching your reaction to how good Prince is in the guitar is priceless... Prince is a god!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

When the greatest guitar players in the world call you the greatest... Prince... RIP

Holy crap, i've watched this a zillion times & i'm still not done with it 😍

The first guy you didn’t know was Jeff Lynn of ELO fame.

Prince is one of the greatest guitarists ever. I’m starting to think he might be the best musician of the last 50 years...

The look on Tom Petty's face is priceless.

George’s son, Dhani, wanted Prince to do this. Look up the interesting story behind this. It has to do with people not knowing how great a guitarist Prince was❗️ Prince was a prodigy & played more than 27 instruments.

His Majesty came on stage with that red hat and melted faces.

The reaction on the guitarists face watching Prince fall back and being caught...I love it!!!!

A little known fact is that Prince played over 20 instruments on a master level and never got credit for half of them!!! He was a musical genius!!!

The kid on the left side of Tom Petty is George Harrison’s son

Yeah, Leo. Shit got *REAL* when Prince soloed. Such proficiency and musicality in that solo, and the little man didn't even break a sweat. He showed up, respected his fellow musicians (and George Harrison's memory) and laid down that effortless solo without tasteless showboating and guitar wankery. He sent his message to the people who doubted him, and it didn't take away from anyone that mattered. Prince was a class act.

Prince knew how to play about 27 musical instruments and he played all kind of styles . . . He was a genius

Every one of them on stage is a legend. They all just got inducted to the rock n roll hall of fame

Need some Steve winwood reactions. The finer things, higher love, back in the high Life again, Valerie, roll with it!

Prince walked on stage like thanks for warming then up this is my show now

Prince's talent can't be over stated. Is in on stage with world class muscians playing in front of a crowd full of world class muscisians and they are all in awe.

The walk off at the end tho ..... he blazed that solo!!! RIP George, Tom and Prince

ELO - Mr Blue Sky is sung by Jeff Lynne, that guy at the start 😁.

Hell yeah, you better recognize Prince and his musical abilities! Indeed he is a legend if there ever was one. You could spend entire weeks learning about how incredible that man was.

Dude Prince wrote more music for todays legends than most people would ever believe.

Steve Winwood "Roll With It" "Back In The High life Again" "Dear Mr. Fantasy

He was pissed that Rolling Stone Magazine didn't put him in the top 100 guitarists, meanwhile he's in my top 25.

Ah C'mon man! You know Prince is one of the best guitar players ever my guy!!! He could also play, I think something like 15 other instruments like a boss

Prince was a god. Legend. Whatever you want to call him. Glad I got three concerts

Oh honey. The guitar is just the beginning. He dripped talent from every pore.

You gotta see more Purplr Rain era Prince. Excellent guitar work. Love how he struts across the stage like a rooster in this video.

Prince played (and mastered) MANY instruments. He was one of the most talented musicians ever. And I miss him dearly.

Prince played every instrument. Piano. Bass. Lead. Drums. Etc

Prince is a musician....period.

Jeff Lynn is the guy with the glasses and the great voice. Something tells me you're about to falling to an ELO rabbit hole. Its a great hole to fall into!!! Witchy Woman, Mr. Blue Sky, Telephone, so many great classic songs!!!

Prince played every instrument on his first 2 albums. He’s an underrated musician, especially when it comes to guitar.

Winwood on the ivories, Lynn on vocals....in case anyone ever doubted, Prince could play a mean guitar, supremely talented. RIP Tom and Prince, legend!

I must add that there will never be another Prince...songwriter and guitar god and sooo funky. Huge, huge musical influence. Always on my playlist. Loved him...

Your about to experience what the word “underrated” really meant/ means! SURPRISE!! 💜💜🙌🏻🙌🏻

Winwood is a musical genius, check out "Higher Love" and "Dear Mr. Fantasy"

Prince just blows all of the other superstars away at the end. Yeah he was a brilliant af guitarist.

Most underrated guitar player of all time, Prince was a master of music ~ PERIOD!

Winwood, Petty, Lynne, Prince.. what an ethereal lineup.

This made me realize how much I miss Tom and Prince.

Price steals the whole show and doesn't say a word! I love everything about this performance!

Isnt that the best guitar solo EVER?? I’m so glad you saw it and are passing it along. Long Live Prince and George!!

Awesome choice!! Prince was so much more talented than a lot of people realized!!

The first guy was Jeff lynne from the band ELO. Amazing 70s rock, totally worth a listen :)

Prince, OMGosh. This man was a musical genius and consummate performer and entertainer. Not only was he a maestro on the guitar and piano/keyboards, but he knew how to play at least 27 instruments and many, he taught himself to play. He is from Minneapolis and I am from St Paul, so I have some provincial pride in him. 😁💜🙏💜 #purplereign4ever He and Tom Petty are two of my very favorites of all time.

You’re right, Prince is an absolute legend. He had it all, and made it big because of his extreme talent and charisma. He is truly one of a kind. RIP 🙏

Prince is a master guitarist. He can play any instrument to top level. You cannot be screaming and making noise during a Prince solo. But I do appreciate your reaction.

Most people don't realize what an amazing musician he was. I just sat watching your reaction thinking "oh just wait until Prince steps out of the shadow"

Please understand, that Prince was musically GIFTED. He was a true freak of nature, a virtuoso, a savant. On his first album (and probably others) he wrote every word, note, chord, and played every instrument on each track. As well as singing every vocal part. He was beyond talented.

Literal tears watching/listening to this. Prince was one of the greatest musicians ever. He used to have musicians from all over come and jam with him in his home studio. There are hours upon hours of recorded jam sessions. Maybe they will be released some day. Hopefully. Great video!
