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 😭
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
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....;-}
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.
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.
Not sure what to think... I definitely appreciate Clapton's attempt (and literally worship his outstanding career) but maybe this song does not fit his style. Let me explain: when Prince recorded this song, he was 25 or 26 and he wasn't half of the half of the guitar player that he would become in his mature age (you all remember him blowing the stage up in 'while my guitar gently weeps', I assume). But still, he was much better than this. This is strange. Anyhoo, well done Clapton, a tribute is always remarkable!!!
Now to compare covers go watch Prince cover while my Guitar Gently Weeps. I think Prince roasted 'ol Eric in guitar performance. There is nobody like him. Modern day Hendrix.
@@loucifer4205 Yeah only been playing 40yrs. Now lets be honest. Clapton was a bag of dicks. Just listen to Allman blow his doors off in Layla. Had to bury him in the mix so it didn't take away from Crapton. Go sit down.
errrrr kinda think it's a tribute to Prince courtesy of Eric....of course it isn't Prince....it's one talented musician honouring another...but some people don't see this....
eric clapton is god, not. why? eric...purple rain? sure we all can understand why its a great song full of intimate emotion and soaring highs. ive never seen purple rain performed so flat and lifeless before. if your performing purple rain to an audience you have to at least try and bring it. forget about trying to out perform Prince you wont come close, and those 6in. stiletto boots are too big to fill. its all in the song itself, those 4chords when struck simply bleed with emotion. plus. if Prince were to cover Layla, arguably claptons greatest song, u better believe Prince will make it his own.

Eric Clapton does such an amazing rendition of Purple Rain. I cried
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
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
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.
No bigger compliment than to have slow hand himself learn your song. Amazing as expected.
Clapton , thank you Sir , loved you and your music my whole life , thank u thank u
Purple Rain Clapton style. Killer guitar solo❤😊
This has a great feel. Guitar is like the spirit of the song as performed by Prince’s band. Terrific.
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.
Well done Mr. Clapton.
Well done.
Thank you Prince for all the beautiful music you gave to us. 💜RIP💜🙏
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.
Professional lament for a uncomparable poet now reposed, this song will live for ever and ever.
Eric. You’re a great musician honoring one who
You felt was even better than you. How humbling and a blessing that its
Best cover of this song ever

This is beautiful when Eric really gets into it ❤️

Siamo fortunati a poter ancora godere di questi artisti !!💜
Wonderful rendition Eric 's great 💖💖💖
Grat show eric the love of my life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
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
Ciesz się tym, co przeżyłeś ze swoją żoną
Beautiful!! Thank you for this touching tribute. And awesome rendition!!!
First time listener..just finished Chris Stapleton an his tribute to Prince by singing. “Nothing Compares To You”

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 .
Yes this is very good. I miss our guy and still have a hard time speaking of him
Dear Eric Thankyou Prince and you are in our hearts forever.
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.

Wow! All I can say is wow!!!!!
So Awesome....We forget how great so many artists were till they are gone....
Slow Hand knows how to do It. Very good
Great, RIP 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?
There’s only 1 prince who can make the guitar weep , R.i.P. 🙏🏼❤️
.. life can be so nice .. R.I.P PRINCE ..
Thanks for the memories. 😁
The spaces in between the notes, Prince Rogers Nelson, a musical comet has left us , great songwriter, hell of a guitarist, ........
Nice tribute true love,
amazing work
Great music takes you to another Place.
Prince 💜
Wow 🎸 that was Eric doin prince! Unbelievable 😀

Eric Clapton toujours égal à lui-même à quand son prochain concert en France

KATIE KISSOON É UM SHOW A PARTE.

Prince honoured. Fantastic. Clapton????
?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸❤️
👍🖤
Is this from the 2019 Crossroads show anybody?
Excuse me I Will cry....
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.
Clapton wS right ask Prince
au fond du temps...
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. .
Clapton's Gedudel wird total überschätzt, hier hört man deutlich seine Schwächen. Er ist nur ein besserer Cover Gitarrist!
Gut für Kuschelrock!!!
Good job EC but Prince does it best!
Prince was killed?
just a carpet for yourself. What about these guys with you?
In case he falls
Typical of Slow hand respecting prince
Not sure what to think... I definitely appreciate Clapton's attempt (and literally worship his outstanding career) but maybe this song does not fit his style.

wtf are you talking about?
The drummer is slepping.
omg ... seriously?
Now to compare covers go watch Prince cover while my Guitar Gently Weeps. I think Prince roasted 'ol Eric in guitar performance. There is nobody like him. Modern day Hendrix.
You don't know much about guitarist, let's be honest Hendrix was a showman just like Prince alright guitarist but nothing to right home about
@@loucifer4205 Yeah only been playing 40yrs. Now lets be honest. Clapton was a bag of dicks. Just listen to Allman blow his doors off in Layla. Had to bury him in the mix so it didn't take away from Crapton. Go sit down.
twintriode. I like PRINCE. but uh modern day James Marshall H? nah.
@@petegobeckli1386 Sorry I don't get it.
@@twintriode So u need some assistance? Like.ROADSIDE help!
Recording is terrible... So much disturbance & hardly you can hear the vocalist!!????
😂
The daily colt normally rinse because statistic wailly enjoy till a righteous steam. guiltless, exciting exclusive dust
Good but it ain't Prince.
errrrr kinda think it's a tribute to Prince courtesy of Eric....of course it isn't Prince....it's one talented musician honouring another...but some people don't see this....

The Heist. let's see Prince or anybody tackle: TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES! from CREAM!
Nice EC , but some songs should be left alone, and this is one of them. But loved it anyways.
Not even close Eric ýou can't polish real genius i
Awful recording .
OK. Just OK. It needs to be Prince for this song. Some songs are and should stay unique.
jeez mate, a review? See it as it was meant, a tribute to Prince.
no. adam levine do it best than prince
Eric fell asleep what happened to the Guitar solo he stinks and he’s lazy.
eric stop making those stupid faces while u are playing guitar
You call that playing guitar? Imagine the faces if he was really playing?
@@davederoux3361 You two should gather and form a band.
Clapton is an embarrassment. Prince was a genius.
Your signaling is noted. Sit down, son
