I was just rewatching Prince's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame from 2004.

No matter how many times I have seen it over the years, While My Guitar Gently Weeps kills me every. single. time.



If you have someone in your life that doesn't get why you like Prince and doesn't believe that he's among the greatest musician's ever... show them this. Prince smokes that guitar!!



And speaking of "smoking", how high was Alicia Keys when she gave her induction speech?

I can't believe it was TEN years ago!

Seems like it was just yesterday.

I like the show he put on too, Sign Of The Times is fantastic, is that on DVD?

There is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame DVD that has the While My Guitar Gently Weeps performance, but not Prince's induction:

However, I was watching a DVDR I made from cable when it aired that had the whole thing, including Prince's own performance and Alicia and Outkast inducting him.

Is there any statement of Tom Petty on that show? I wonder what he thought about Princes performance? Not sure about that

By the look on his face, he seemed to be impressed...

Never read where he mentioned it, though.

Officially? No where. The only bit released is While My Guitar on the above mentioned R&RHOF DVD set.

I was watching a DVDR I recorded off cable back when it aired 10 years ago.

You SHOULD be able to watch it online, but you can't, because... Prince.
