I think if you're Eric Clapton, and you have a Crossroads Guitar Festival, and want to pay tribute to Prince by playing his epic guitar hit, you can do it. Bravo! Splendid!
Eric had a huge respect for Prince as an artist and especially as a fabulous guitarist, hence saving the best until last. Respect and class from the man !
What an epic song. Now EC knows how difficult it is to play the real solo like Prince does. ""Hey Eric how is to be the best guitarist on earth?"..".Uhh donno..ask David Gilmour....No ask Prince!!!...i just played Purple Rain and wtf he does on guitar.....".
Finally, someone gave this song a proper solo. thanks Eric.
AMAZING!!!! PRINCE WOULD APPROVE.
