This is an iconic moment from Tom Petty's performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony of the Beatles' hit "While my guitar gently Weeps". After Rolling Stone published its list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time—and controversially left Prince off it—Prince made a surprise appearance. During the performance, he delivered a legendary guitar solo that many saw as a statement, proving to the world that he was one of the greatest guitarists of his generation.
This unforgettable Rock Hall moment demonstrates the electric and energetic environment that is created when legendary artists take the stage together. This performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is undoubtedly known for Prince's guitar solo, which showcases just how powerful a guitar can be.

“unreal.”

“One of the greatest performances.”

“So many iconic moments in this video: the bodyguard lean, the disappearing guitar, the trying to get on with the "while my guitar gently weeps" while they are being reduced to their molecular structure with the force of this guitar solo, but the best moment is when Dhani Harrison in the background sees Prince coming and gets the biggest, brightest smile on his face. He knows.”
