This is by far the best performance of Purple Rain. There will never be another. This man was a genius.

Its impossible not to get emotional hearing this. We lost one of the greatest musicians to ever walk this earth.

For some of us this is not just a song, it is the sound that fills our soul. R.I.P. Prince

Nothing else like this. God poured Prince's soul into Prince to bless us with this music. One of a kind. Who wins at the crossroads of life? God. The Father of Lights. For it is written, Every good gift comes from above.

One of the most epic guitar players of our lifetime and so totally underrated.
Prince had the ability to make those strings cry an epic melody and I so miss that.
True genius.

Youngsters will never understand how on fire this guy was in 1985. Absolutely spectacular performance. Mesmerizing.

[joedelpopolo]

Probably the greatest live performance of one of the greatest musicians of all time. Just amazing.

[adolfotagus]

Still in love with this song! 🎶 Purple Rain by Prince isn't just music, it's an experience.
Decades later, it still resonates deeply, proving that some music truly is timeless. Every time I listen, it’s like hearing it for the first time all over again. Long live the purple legacy! 💜

I hesitated to post here because no words can do this justice, but damn, if ever there was anything that sounded like the cry of a human soul, it is Prince and his guitar. He even makes himself cry with the beauty of his own sound. I 😭

[MrG]

He was amazing. He wrote everything, produced and mixed everything and played every instrument on his albums. What a musician and what a loss. R.I.P. Prince.🙏

[feetphotography]

No need for visual effects. A man and his guitar and his love for music. This performance is just brilliantly done by Prince. Bravo sir! Rest in Him.

[skippymillward]

Putting a 20 second unskippable ad for a fucking smart watch 9 minutes into one of the greatest performances of all time is a dick move YouTube

[MsHollywoodrose]

This guitar solo actually brings tears to my eyes. What a legend. Prince played with all heart and soul, you can not only see it but more importantly, feel it.
