So many great musicians paid respect to Prince 💜. When Eric Clapton does it. Its the ultimate 🥏 respect. I'm the biggest Prince 💜 fan on the planet 🌍. This made me so emotional 😭
Beautiful tribute Mr. Clapton bravo ...it does however break my heart into pieces I wish he could have seen this he would know at that point he would know
IN FOREVER MEMORY OF PRINCE..THANK YOU CLAPTON FOR HIS HONOR AND TRIBUTE..!! ONE OF A KIND..PRINCE IS IN THE HEAVENS SMILING UPON US ALL..FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED..R.I.P PRINCE..
The three major greats...."Beck, Clapton and Page" that almost every rock guitarist speaks of as influences finally lost one of the giants, Jeff Beck, but we still have the other two!!! Clapton is as brilliant as ever in this performance, paying tribute to THE most talented artist PRINCE!!!! Rip Prince and Beck. Keep on keepin' on Slowhand!!!
Che meraviglia!! L’assolo mi ha fatto sgorgare lacrime e poi .. solo la musica ,il mito vivente e quello non. Siamo fortunati a poter ancora godere di questi artisti !!💜
A very good version it really compares to the original by its owner Prince so many artists disappeared at the top of their art Prince is one of them Thanks God we are left with their eternal hits I remember when I was engaged to my wife we used to play the movie purple rain starring Prince towards the end of the movie when we arrived at the song hit we played it over and over we never got tired of it It brings so many memories now I'm getting older with heart sickness how I wish those days were back again
@gibson2623 yes there is. it's just that most of us just go by what sounds good to us. if you dig deep on any craft. and consider all factors like versatility,timing ear to hand control even the amount of songs and different guitars played on stage is something to think about.
He set the first snare hit at the right place but after there should be a short pause, than a roll (piano to forte) before the straight rhythm and not a fill in like this drummer does! Makes the song more interesting and with tension what fit very good to the style Prince played it. Otherwise the fill in fits better to the way Mr. Clapton plays it. Hard to explain - Clapton plays more like in a flow. Prince brought more tension and dynamic in it what I prefer.
When asked how it felt to be the world's best guitar player, Clapton replied:" no idea, why don't you ask Prince?". If this is true (you never know) it's a praise to Clapton's personality and to Prince's always underestimated guitar talent. Two wonderful artists and last of their kind unfortunately.
also heard this about Alex Lifeson....Eddie Van Halen and Eric Johnson....oh and SRV....all gods...probably missing a couple others...Roy Clark...Atkins...I could go on....Blackmore......Knoffler,,,,Slash...Edge....ok..I'll stop now....oh yeah...Leo Kottke...making good guitar players feel badly about themselves since 1972....ok,,,,i'm done....until I think about it some more....;-}
Someone said he thought the drummer was slacking. IDK about that but Nathan East is on bass and he's either really tired or about at the point where he's phoning this one in. Granted, Purple Rain isn't some slap-happy tour de force for the bass.

Professional lament for a uncomparable poet now reposed, this song will live for ever and ever.
Thanks now I’m sobbing this was amazing
It’s good to get it out 😂

Beautiful tribute from certainly one of the greatest guitarists of all time 🎸 thanks Mr.Clapton🎸
Eric Clapton does such an amazing rendition of Purple Rain. I cried
Great tribute to a great man and genius in our lfitetime. The whole band was integral to this--and the audience too. A fantastic wonderful moment.
Eric. You’re a great musician honoring one who
You felt was even better than you. How humbling and a blessing that its
IN FOREVER MEMORY OF PRINCE..THANK YOU CLAPTON FOR HIS HONOR AND TRIBUTE..!! ONE OF A KIND..PRINCE IS IN THE HEAVENS SMILING UPON US ALL..FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED..R.I.P PRINCE..
A
Thx , Eric, for youre version of this masterpiece
Eric knows a good song.And interprets it.the soul and passion.the essence of it.lift us up. Sail and shine on.music lovers.
This has a great feel. Guitar is like the spirit of the song as performed by Prince’s band. Terrific.
Prince's depression pulled Clapton out of his own depression. find things that give you meaning, things you can feel are everything
Wonderful rendition Eric 's great 💖💖💖
After all these years he has still got it , one of the best guitar players ever
And one of the best singers ever but shurley one of the best performers ever, since decades.
This is beautiful when Eric really gets into it ❤️

Very refreshing 💙 Blues! Thank you for this! ❤I love your music and I have been dharing it in my sites all night!
Che meraviglia!! L’assolo mi ha fatto sgorgare lacrime e poi ..
solo la musica ,il mito vivente e quello non.
Siamo fortunati a poter ancora godere di questi artisti !!💜
The only 2 artists I ever want to play this, Eric that was Awesome 💜
Try David Gilmour's/Tom Jones.
@@bountyhunteratacka ooohhhh yyyeeess! genius pairing!
Mavis Staples did it justice too
In my opinion the best performance of this song is by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street-Band - Nils' guitar is really awesome!!!
@@thomasschoepf65 Yes, Bruce & E Street did an amazing version. Nils blew the roof off with his solo!
Beautiful!! Thank you for this touching tribute. And awesome rendition!!!

Ciesz się tym, co przeżyłeś ze swoją żoną
Yes this is very good. I miss our guy and still have a hard time speaking of him
First time listener..just finished Chris Stapleton an his tribute to Prince by singing. “Nothing Compares To You”
Wow! All I can say is wow!!!!!
Nice tribute true love,
Well done Mr. Clapton.
Well done.
Thank you Prince for all the beautiful music you gave to us. 💜RIP💜🙏
Grat show eric the love of my life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dear Eric Thankyou Prince and you are in our hearts forever.
Prince RIP....the greatest ever
Eric was asked in an interview what it’s like being the best guitarist in the world…… he replied I don’t know … go and ask Prince .
Not true
Eddie vH was asked and answered: go and ask Steve Lukather. That's the true story
Thats a hell of a cosign coming from a man of his skills. PRiNCE lived him,followed him and respected him
There is no best guitarist.....And if there was one or 2, it would never been any of this 2
@gibson2623 yes there is.
it's just that most of us just go by what sounds good to us.
if you dig deep on any craft. and consider all factors like versatility,timing ear to hand control even the amount of songs and different guitars played on stage is something to think about.
So Awesome....We forget how great so many artists were till they are gone....
Blessings From Texas🤠
amazing work
Eric Clapton rules!
Clapton , thank you Sir , loved you and your music my whole life , thank u thank u
No bigger compliment than to have slow hand himself learn your song. Amazing as expected.
Thanks great 👍
Slow Hand knows how to do It. Very good
Great music takes you to another Place.
Purple and blue(s) are next to each other💜💙
I like the way the drummer sets the right pace in the first 30s of the song🙂
He set the first snare hit at the right place but after there should be a short pause, than a roll (piano to forte) before the straight rhythm and not a fill in like this drummer does! Makes the song more interesting and with tension what fit very good to the style Prince played it.

Thanks for the memories. 😁
beautiful tribute.
.. life can be so nice .. R.I.P PRINCE ..
i love you eric my blues man great singer saludos
Well done Sir.
Great, RIP Prince...
There’s only 1 prince who can make the guitar weep , R.i.P. 🙏🏼❤️
Wow! Thank you for posting!
Excellent!
Prince 💜
The best guitar player to me he is number one.
He’s also racist, so there is that.
@@alrickstewart8726 ok, and what are you?
The spaces in between the notes, Prince Rogers Nelson, a musical comet has left us , great songwriter, hell of a guitarist, ........
Thank you v m !

I heard it as he said he didn't know and "to ask Hendrix."
@@davebeins2593 u've already failed the course by not mentioning James Marshall Hendrix & James Patrick Page .
Danke
.. thank U man
A great one playing a great ones song.
Clapton and Prince: That´s music
Clapton einer der Grössten
What a voice …
Wow 🎸 that was Eric doin prince! Unbelievable 😀
Purple Rain Clapton style. Killer guitar solo❤😊
Weedy single coil strat tone doesn't capture the majestic quality of the classic solo.
I don't think I've seen Eric ask the audience to sing along like he does at 6:17..very moving
Unlike some of the other trolls here, Prince would have liked that very much.
nice cover
Beautiful! Clapton is God!
Clapton ⚡😁✔
Linda homenagear, parabéns
the Clapton I love: Cream-and-Blind-Faith mode..
Eric Clapton toujours égal à lui-même à quand son prochain concert en France
Pourquoi ?
@@samstromersten6035 pour allez le voir pardi quelle question
Buen concierto
Versão do aluno, que seu mestre tocou divinamente...
You can play that solo Eric!!!!
Prince honoured. Fantastic. Clapton????
?
This is killer,Slowhand.
Music starts @ 00:40
That guitar ouch 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Bellissssssssssimo tributo a prince
Is this from the 2019 Crossroads show anybody?
good job. 🥲
エリッククラプトンが弾くと 渋いな ギターもクリーントーン だし こんな感じになるんだ
Purple rain is representative of tragedy Mr.Clapton has experienced his own share of tragedies
Sturgill Simpson has doing this one on his current tour. Its phenomenal!
Sorry, what was the name of this pub?
Someone said he thought the drummer was slacking.
IDK about that but Nathan East is on bass and he's either really tired or about at the point where he's phoning this one in.
Granted, Purple Rain isn't some slap-happy tour de force for the bass.
Excuse me I Will cry....
👏
BTW, that drummer's outtro was clean as fk.
KATIE KISSOON É UM SHOW A PARTE.
👍🖤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸❤️
The very strange thing is is that sounds like a Clapton song...
Prince was killed?
Sooo...... no one going to talk about a drummer in a balaclava then huh?
just a carpet for yourself. What about these guys with you?
In case he falls
I love Eric Clapton and thought he did an alright job on this song, but Purple Rain was Prince's song and he did better.
Eric obviously was not trying to out do Prince. He was honoring Prince for the world to see.
@@tommyd688 That's probably what Eric did. That would be like him to do that. .
