just found this vid, that some of you may or may not have seen.....

from the prince's rock and roll hall of fame induction....

http://www.wildwesthero-e...4news.html

there's couple of minutes before prince steals the show.....

eye think most folks here saw this back in 2004 when he was inducted.

I still love this performance!!!!


I sooooo wish I had this on DVD.

thanks for the link. there were stickies and millions of messages about this performance at the time, However the link you provided seems to be of a slightly different audio mix compared to the usual ones going around - either that or my ears have gone improved since then! On your link I can actually hear the second guitarist soloing at the same time as Prince right at the end - in fact I can hardly hear Prince's guitar at the end as it's drowned out by the other guy! Now I watched/listened to this previously 100 times and I could not even make out that the other guitarist was playing at that moment...strange!

he's full of himself...
but you can't deny why...

Prince definately stole that show!

I love the look on Dhani's face. You can tell he's in total awe!!

This performance makes the "6 degrees of separation (Prince - Version) " game really easy

Listening to this version is different. The version I have just highlights Prince at the end. You can hear the piano and other guitarest on this whilst Prince is playing. I like it!

they turned down prince in the online version at the end.

Thank you!!! Damn, Prince is just too good!

I've seen this over and over again and it still gets me everytime. I remember the first time I saw it and having a grin across my face for hours afterwards! And when his bad ass walked off at the end - priceless!

It was interesting hearing the other guitarist playing with the band. Because the version I have I hear nothing but Prince.

I agree with Kissmequick. When I saw this my jaw was on the floor!!
I remember thinking,"This is why I've stuck with Prince!"

Yes, this is another mix entirely.

I brought this up right after the event, as I found the online version on the George Harrison site was this adulterated version. The camera angles are slightly different 2, as the part where Prince is crouching low, and shredding, is from another angle.

I was always aware of that performance, but never saw it till now, thanx for the link, ..fucking incredible, the walk off at the end was classic.

yep, the original live aired version is MORE glorious for Prince then this one! Luckily it's been bootlegged on dvd in perfect quality.

I love it. tears it to shreds.

The best part is the entire ensemble turns around for a dramatic finale and when they turn back, whoosh, he's gone.

Just like with the cmossioner, yo!
