Quoted from TheShadowsNose:This thread could have just stopped with the ops original post. Prince, hands down. And that specific performance especially. All the rest are totally fine, so please enjoy them. Except Clapton.
Agree 100% on Prince. Not only was he the greatest guitarist that ever lived he might just be the best overall musician period. He could play all of the other instruments masterfully. When I was in college I would watch him rehearse at Paisley Park regularily and some nights he would rehearse the same song over and over playing a different instrument each time. Drums, keyboards, bass.... he played all of the parts. Most nights he wouldn't come out to perform until after 2a.m. and by the time he was done playing the sun would be up. Its crazy the amount of music he has written and recorded that hasn't been released. They'll be pulling new songs out of the vault for a long time to come.
