The 2004 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony included a noteworthy lineup of inductees: Jackson Browne, The Dells, Bob Seger, Traffic, ZZ Top, Prince, and posthumously, George Harrison.
During the ceremony, a musical tribute was paid to the Beatles member who had passed away nearly three years earlier. An all-star band, featuring Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, and Harrison’s son, Dhani, along with the newly inducted Prince, performed the Beatles' 1968 hit' While My Guitar Gently Weeps' from the White Album.
As the song unfolded and the artists played their respective parts, Prince launched into a monumental guitar solo lasting almost three minutes, during which he effectively turned the other legendary musicians on stage into his own supporting band, outshining even Harrison’ s son. With his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame earlier that evening, Prince reaffirmed his status as one of the world’ s most influential musicians.

    When you watch the entire clip George's son smiles so wide it shows just how much he respected and was blown away by Prince's solo.
  • Prince always owned every stage he played on. There will never be another like him. Pure musical genius. You are seriously missed here, sir.

    He was THE underrated guitarist of the 20 and 21 century. RIP Prince...... keep on jamming, brother.

    Prince had the best Hall Of Fame performance of all time! In 2007, he had the best Super Bowl performance of all time. When asked how it felt to be the the greatest guitar player alive, Eric Clapton responded, " I don't know, you have to ask Prince". True story❤❤❤❤
  • A superb guitarrist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, singer and composer… loved Prince!!!
  • @traczebabe
    Prince was soft spoken, until he began performing. His lyrics & music showed his depth of emotion for each song he created.

    Prince ALWAYS brought 110% to his playing.
  • @bobcaygeon4533
    My absolute favourite guitar solo. People always talk about who is the greatest guitar player. Prince just says, “hold my beer…..”

    I actually had the privilege of meeting Prince when I was in Minnesota working with a roofing company putting a metal roof on a parking garage for rich people who had very expensive vehicles in a parking garage condo. Prince was a awesome person and a nice one I'm proud to say that I got to shake his hand I'll never forget that ever
