Prince - Cream (Live At Webster Hall - April 20, 2004)

Ten years before this video was made, I was a truck driver on the Purple Rain Tour. Prince treated us like royalty, what a class act.

Took me 47 years to realise Prince was one of the best musicians that has ever lived

Stevie Wonder once said in an interview, "As long as Prince is making music, I'm not worried."

actor, singer, director, dancer, best guitarist, composer, songwriter, sexy, handsome, stunning, owner of the color purple, he is a prince, he is a genius

Only man that could wear heels and steal your woman. He's the epitome of cool.

Only guitarists realize how much skill you need to be able to comfortably play like that...RIP

THIS is what live performance should be! Marvellous, authentic, warm. What an enormous loss to music when this man passed away!

The only musician to engage the audience to follow him in the way he wants. Untouchable in the music industry!

The way Prince corrects the crowd. So honest.He takes no prisoners.Legend.

"You know i wrote this while looking in the mirror" Arrogance and cockyness and we love him for it. Insane Talent!

A friend of mine used to provide security for stage areas/performers on behalf of a concert promoter in the UK in the 90s. Prince was touring and was hit by a sudden strike by roadies and crew not specific to Prince but affecting his final set up of instruments and monitors on stage. My friend was a tall bald intimidating looking Scotsman who was on security on stage and he saw Prince personally tune and set up each instrument and monitor personally, and expertly linked up with the mixing desk so he could perform that night. Prince asked him to help move/ set up the heavier items and he was so full of admiration and respect for Princes attitude and competence and work ethic that he helped him as he was not a member of the union on strike. He said Prince was quite strong for a "little guy in heels" and enjoyed his sense of humour even under pressure, he was also impressed that Prince wasnt bothered by his own rather formidable appearance and was happy to speak with him. I love that insight, it dosnt surprise me.

He truly was a genius. RIP

Taylor guitars was a client of mine; we photographed the guitars for their catalog. One day the Art Director called me over to the side of Taylor's lobby and said "check it out", pointing to a new case. I opened it and was looking at the most beautiful purple custom Taylor acoustic. She whispered "go on, try it out", and I played it for a few minutes. Beautiful guitar. I put the guitar back in the case and as she closed it and gave it to the shipping manager, she said "You just got to play Prince's new custom Taylor". The guitar in this video. That's kinda cool. Thank you Prince. We miss you terribly.

To play the guitar so flawlessly whilst interacting with the crowd at the same time that’s a level of skill I don’t even Kurt Cobain had mastered. He doesn’t even look at it once…

No artist of today will ever b on his level

When you can sit on a stool....with only a guitar, and captivate a large crowd...you are special. No light effects or pyrotechnics. Prince, crowd = epic show. RIP.

Sad. I didn’t explore and appreciate Prince as the stellar artist that he was until after he was gone. Genius. Once in a generation genius.

Prince was the best and I loved the fact that he knew it !!!

Only Prince could call a crowd out twice, they love him for it, then they get their shit together and fix themselves, and make the set a classic! His name is Prince people…THE BEST EVER!

Prince on acoustic, priceless.
