The drummer Steve Ferrone (from Average White Band and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) later told the New York Times that he didn't actually know Prince was going to be performing with them until Prince showed up. I guess when Ferrone went over to introduce himself, Prince told Ferrone that he already knew who he was. At the time, Ferrone figured Prince was just saying that to be polite. Later during the rehearsal, Prince apparently started playing a riff from a song Ferrone had written with Average White Band. Ferrone looked up and saw Prince watching him as he played the riff. Ferrone knew then that Prince really was familiar with him and his work.

Prince did a great job he painted around the corners of the song and was not overly ostentatious. Love seeing Dhani Harrison the son. Was it different than the original yeah, so was the second rendition when George wanted Eric Clapton to come into the studio and work on that song. It was mastered with a blues flair and Prince did nothing wrong at all, he added some real technical play w/out destroying the ambiance of the blues backdrop that song had become known for. Loved this performance I love blues rock but Prince is a master on the guitar and showed it with respect and dignity. Great version heard this before but I really liked watching this. I own a Stratacaster but I am really on the verge of buying a Telecaster. Prince is also a performer, really see no reason to get negative on him at all. So he does not make my top 25 guitarists list because of style differences he was definitely in Elite standards when speaking of talent.

What the hell are you thinking inviting one of the world's greatest entertainers on stage?. It's Prince being Prince, the guy 3 years later rocked the Super Bowl so hard that the winning quarterback mentioned it.

This is one of those performances that if it wasn't caught on video, you wouldn't have believed it, just EPIC. The stage was filled with so many legends of the industry and Prince still stood out. Growing up I always knew Prince and his work, but was never a HUGE fan, but I had one guy I knew always sing his praises, like he got a commission for every one he made a fan(it was that bad). And over the years, while I'm still not a fan like he was, I came to realized how much of an amazing talent he truly was, and this performance shows that and then some.

There’s a very interesting story surrounding this performance. Not only had Rolling Stone magazine failed to include Prince in their “100 Greatest Guitarists” list earlier that year, but reportedly George’s widow was against Prince’s participation in this song, as she felt it’d somehow cheapen his memory. Anyways, some of the musicians involved did everything they could to boycott practice sessions. They’d take breaks as soon as Prince showed up, etc. Supposedly at one point it got so bad that the producer intervened and asked Prince if he’d like him to do something about it. Prince just said- “Don’t worry, I got this.” What you see on video was his way of dealing with it. He OWNED that performance. Now you understand why at the end he just throws the guitar and walks off the stage. The ultimate “F YOU!”

People complaining about Prince stealing the show. Wrong! That was the Tom Petty/Prince show. Prince respectfully tried to give it back but Tom refused to let him off the hook. So, Prince did what Tom wanted him to do. They were together on that. They both had eye to eye contact and were laughing at times. What's funny is George Harrison's son was on stage with them, they both were right in front of him but he missed their communication. Later in an interview, he complained about Prince going too far, not knowing when to stop even though he looked very entertained in the video...Go figure.

Hi Maddy! We lost our brothers Prince and Tom Petty to fentanyl poisoning. Also a corrupt music industry that pushes drugs on artists to squeeze as much as they can out of them. In 1978, Prince recorded his first album, 'For You,' playing all of the instruments on the record himself, in addition to producing and composing all of the tracks. You never use to be able to look up any Prince song on KZitem because he was very protective of his copyright.

Also Prince didn’t rehearse with these guys, he didn’t show up for rehearsal, but he told them it would be ok, he was the lead guitarist, they specifically bought him in, so he was suppose to upstage the other guitarist, this is why he had the guitar solo at the end.
