They are paying homage to George Harrison in this video, and prince is in it.

One of the best axe players that ever lived.  I saw that in the guy 30 years ago.

I guess they shouldn't have invited him to that, because he walked away with it.

Yes he did play a fantastic solo, but they were there playing together to play homage to someone other than Prince.

Prince, Garth Brooks, and others risk being just about forgotten if their music doesn't become available the way most people these days get music.

I'm pretty sure all that stuff (and I hear there are thousands of hours worth) will dribble out over the next few decades.  Can't wait.

This.

He was severely underrated. He was a multi-instrumentalist. He played every instrument on his debut album. I like some of his stuff, but a lot of it just isn't my style.

I remember seeing him on Saturday Night Live, and he played the most amazing arpeggio I'd ever seen. His fingers were lightning fast.

I love the "Personnel" list from his debut album:

Personnel:

Prince - all vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, Orr bass, bass synth, singing bass, fuzz bass, Fender Rhodes electric piano, acoustic piano, Minimoog, Polymoog, ARP String Ensemble, ARP Pro Soloist, Oberheim 4-voice, clavinet, drums, syndrums, water drums, slapsticks, bongos, congas, finger cymbals, wind chimes, orchestral bells, wood blocks, brush trap, tree bell, hand claps, finger snaps.

He literally played every instrument on the album.

I doubt that would even be possible with anybody coming out today.

Dude was a true musician.

I drove 10 miles out of my way one day to catch him playing at a free show at a local park in San Jose.  

















Unfortunately, it was April 1.  I'm not a huge Prince fan, but I was really crushed.





















Heard a cool interview of Stevie Nicks one night on a road trip to somewhere.  I think it was about her song Edge of Seventeen.  They called Prince to see if he could help and the guy showed up in a half hour; played and then left.  Class act.
