My oh My this is simply mind blowing !!! Have always admired Eric and Prince but this tribute to Prince is something else. Amazing work Eric and the band. Prince, we all miss you so much . Gone far too soon.
Oh this makes me Cry Everytime. I have lost my whole Family at this point my Brother and I were so close. He passed in 1999. I miss you Brother ! RIP Jimbo 🌹 🕊️ I'm greatful for the Memories! ☔ 💜 Thanks Eric. 🌎✌️💙🤞🫶🦋🎶Heals the Soul! Praying for my Country! 🇺🇸 Tired of the Fear and Hate! May God Bless Us All with Peace and Love. 🙏😢
WOW!! what an awesome performance / tribute!! Just reaffirms why I have followed and listened to Clapton all these years.. YEs Virginia, there is a God,, his name is Eric Clapton!
👍 As a 70ish y.o. Baby Boomer who grew up with Prince’s original, I thought this was a 👏 cover by Eric. It’s a big part of my youth - not only bc of Prince and this song, but SO much more music, AND the good ‘ole days’ of a 🌟 time period of life in general. The song reminds me of many other ‘classics’ - by the Stones, Procal Harem (‘Whiter Shade of Pale’), Neil Young, Dylan, and a LOT more. This is the music that withstands the test of time - generation after generation (whether the originals or more recent covers like this)! * Can’t believe I haven’t seen or heard this before today 🙃.
😮well he’s no Prince, but he did this so beautifully. Long ago in an interview, Clapton was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world, with no hesitation and a humble heart, Clapton said he had no idea, they would have to ask Prince. Mad respect ✊ Play it pretty & loud Eric Clapton….🎸
This is the finest rendition ever.. Eric knows exactly how to play this beautiful song.. he does so with passion and grace! He to my mind is the finest guitarist in the world! His longevity says it all! To play Prince this takes guts! Eric has not only the ability to play this beauty of a song with the utmost respect plus grace in homage to Prince.. in fact Eric can and does play every genre! There is no stopping this incredible Legend of our times ever! Eric you are absolutely phenomenal! Thank you so very much 💞
Talent , passion , soul , admiration , I could go on and on , what a rendition of a masterpiece , this sits alongside the Waterboys cover ,only a genius can work their spell on the work of another genius. THANK YOU ERIC AND BAND AND THANK YOU PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION.
What a great version of the master Eric Clapton!, I still remember in my teens in the 80s, having gathered to buy the Vinyl album "Prince and the Revolution"
Magnifique 🙏 merci Mr Éric Clapton pour cet énième hommage au Purple Génius 💜. Quand une légende rend hommage à une autre forcément cela ne peut que donner un grand moment. 👏👏👏.
Hear today 25 /6 on radio, in the morning, that the Prince Album make 40 years...! 😮 Time running fast.. Have been following Clapton concerts and this one appears..! It's a tribute...!
Quando Clapton chiude gli occhi e fa viaggiare le dita.. diventa tutto poesia... Grazie Eric per questa versione, grazie Prince per questo capolavoro che resterà una delle migliori canzoni nell'universo ❤
Clapton would be ol' Prince's most famous Uber fan. The very man's words when asked by a journalist in Paris as to how it feels to be the world's greatest guitarist. Eric's answer? 'Hmm, no idea but you could always ask Prince' 😅
I hadn’t heard that comment by Clapton before, but did read/hear him say in an interview that he CAN play well 👍 WHEN he wants to, and then at others not 👎.
En el concierto por George apareció por ahí Prince con su guitarra y fue un regalo, Clapton es una aventura hoy y va a su bola, no es simple por que la gente le pide que toque trescientas canciones de las que mas les gustan escuchar y eso deja poco tiempo, intenta controlar que no se pasen mas de dos horas, lo intenta, pero depasa las dos horas con mucho, le gusta que le sigan oyendo se lo sigue currando y lo hace por amor, es su vocacion interior, esa banda es una joya No le gusta que le graben por que dice que la gente no vive lo que esta viendo y escuchando y no hay una conexion con los musicos ni de los musicos con el publico de la misma manera y estoy deacuerdo......... pero no hubiera visto este video si alguien no lo hubiera hecho......
Simplesmente fantástico, é como se tudo que Eric Clapton toca torna-se dele, pois ele incrivelmente se faz parte da música em solos de guitarra e nesse caso expressão vocal, parabéns 🎉 Prince que me desculpe, mas esta versão é muito melhor que a original kkkkk
Eric paying tribute to a man he looked up to is nice, a decent and pleasant thing to do, now go look for Prince Purple Rain (Live in Syracuse) and see obscene level of genius in action
Q:- What made you hate him, hate is a very strong word, dislike his music possibly but hate him has he done something to you that makes you feel like that?
Well I despise the word hate.. I rarely use it.. it is not representative of the legend that is Eric Clapton! Why hate? That is personal very much so? Dislike if you so wish however hate? No!

Love to see these legends still playing music. One of the best ever and a wonderful tribute to Prince.
Beautiful song and the great class of Clapton♥️♥️♥️
Precisely 👍

Gd Bless you🙏
Never disappointed by Clapton. Hope it stays with us for a long time.
Wow, an excellent rendition by Eric Clapton of one of my favourite songs ever by Prince. Absolutely lovely.
Eric was and is a fantastic human beeing. He gave a large gift to an alcholic senter. I remember.. I was there. Thank U Eric!
Eric, Steve Gadd and Nathan East, you can't get better than that!
AND Paul Carrack!
WOW!! what an awesome performance / tribute!! Just reaffirms why I have followed and listened to Clapton all these years.. YEs Virginia, there is a God,, his name is Eric Clapton!
I think Prince would approve of this one. 🤩
Splendid version Eric Always Plays whith his Heart ❤️❤️🎸🎸❤️❤️
What a wonderful tribute of Prince by one of rocks legends. Prince was probably jamming up in heaven with Eric on this one

When a God plays a pearl of another God that is still with us this the result ❤️
Eric is doing great these post covid years. What a great rendition ❤
Eric's still got it, fantastic !
Applausi a scena aperta per mr. Clapton👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
A wonderful tribute from Eric…..

He never said that. Thats a made up quote. It’s probably one of the most widely spread fictitious quotes of the internet era.
I seem to remember Eric saying someone else but have forgotten!
And u know this because you were in the room, right? That's what I thought so shut it!@@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078
Que maravilla de guitarrista,de canción y de homenaje al gran Prince ,los vi a los dos por separados claro

Great Talents Guitar 🎸 Erick & Prince 👏👏👏👍👌👋
Great Mr. Eric Clapton 👌
This is music. When the music is good, it meant to be shared and played by the others. Would love to hear MJ did his interpretation of this song.
El Rey homenajeando al Príncipe
How beautifully said 🙏

Do u know when and where wss this? He is amazing!!
60 plus years and sounds and plays as he did with Cream..quite extraordinary..
Eric is 80!
Grandissimo Eric, cantata e suonata col cuore in onore di Prince.
What a great version of the master Eric Clapton!, I still remember in my teens in the 80s, having gathered to buy the Vinyl album "Prince and the Revolution"
Clapton is so cool!
I didn't know Eric had that falsetto in his locker. Nicely done
The lovely ladies in the back were carrying the bulk of that bit...😉
@@AlexVonCrankno, he sang the first parts alone. They joined in after
@Pinkeye82517 no. That's just what you saw on camera.
Magnifique 🙏 merci Mr Éric Clapton pour cet énième hommage au Purple Génius 💜. Quand une légende rend hommage à une autre forcément cela ne peut que donner un grand moment. 👏👏👏.

素晴らしい。プリンスは喜んでるでしょう。最高です。
I mean bloody hell, what a cover!
Beautiful Playing 🎸,
Nice Voice 👍,

Awesome playing by Eric & the band. Cool looking guitar too…
Prince is smiling 🎉.. Legends
Questo brano era già bello di suo...Mr Clapton lo ha reso ancora più bello ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
Super Super Woaw ❤
Best performance with the best legends in memory of the star Prince ❤
Pure genius.
La reprise de prince est magnifique. Chapeau. Pas étonnant c'est clapton 👍👍

WTH. Both Omar and Steve?! Never thought I'd see that. Amazing.
I think it's not Omar but Sonny Emory with Steve Gadd on drums !
@@nicolasscherer7883 Ofc it is. Even more amazing. 😀
And Doyle…who has been there forever 👍
When I hear artists other than Prince singing Purple Rain, I can't help but think that Prince has passed away after all.
Two Legends of the Music Industry! MR.Eric showing us his love and appreciation for MR.Prince!
wow excellent
I miss you 💜💜💜
On how to keep the ‘magic’ alive! Thank you! 🙏
Goosebumps......
Now how cool is that! Hell ya.
🎼🎶🎵❤️🔥CHE DIO LO BENEDICA E GLI MANDI TANTA TANTA SALUTE.... CON TUTTO IL NOSTRO AMORE❣️🎼🎶🎵❤️🔥
Quando Clapton chiude gli occhi e fa viaggiare le dita.. diventa tutto poesia... Grazie Eric per questa versione, grazie Prince per questo capolavoro che resterà una delle migliori canzoni nell'universo ❤
Ma come vero! Ho detto lo stesso! Per me e semplicemente miravigliosa 🙏
EC still brings it!
Like Joe Bonamassa does - at least imo 70ish opinion!
The best, the best, the best❤
Arrangiamento pazzesco ed un immenso Clapton
Fantastique comme toujours !!
Oui, j'ai vu cette chanson au Royal Albert Hall et c'était fantastique
Beautiful Playing😊
Wonderful 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is really stunning.

Quel bel hommage, magnifiquement interprété🥰👍
Такой суперталант как Эрик Клэптон никогда не испортит прекрасную песню Принса , исполнение великолепное ! ❤🎉

Amazing Eric Clapton I can't believe he challenged prince song purple rain
Simplesmente fantástico, é como se tudo que Eric Clapton toca torna-se dele, pois ele incrivelmente se faz parte da música em solos de guitarra e nesse caso expressão vocal, parabéns 🎉
Prince que me desculpe, mas esta versão é muito melhor que a original kkkkk

Didn't notice Gilmore in this clip but sure looks a lot like Paul Carrack on keys who is more than worthy of a mention .... Just saying , non taken
Eric paying tribute to a man he looked up to is nice, a decent and pleasant thing to do, now go look for Prince Purple Rain (Live in Syracuse) and see obscene level of genius in action
Don’t be a jerk
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍!!!
So tame by comparison
Tame? No ways!
hmm ok , but prince so underated as a guitar, in reality he was an incredible player not enough guts ion this for me tbh
Really great song, but has this concert to do with Gilmour? When and where was this video recorded?
They're just my favorite ones...
this concert is Crossroads Guitar Festival 2019
Prince s Magnum opus ! Who Is the other guitar player? Two drummers?
The left handed guitar player is Doyle Bramhall. I don’t know about the rest
When and where was this show??
Crossroads Guitar Festival, Dallas, 2019
cuando habra sido esto ?¡
Crossroads Guitar Festival 2019
When was this? Because Clapton is 79 right now...
Crossroads Guitar Festival 2019
Lip Sync: 3.29
Not sure how to feel about this.
💔💔
And that's the problem. You're too busy trying to figure out how you SHOULD feel and how others want you to feel. instead of just feeling.
What is with all the fedoras? Trying to cover up thinning or no-hair, or just a bad rug?
No disrespect to Eric nice take, but the best version I've ever heard was played by Jeff beck.
Prince copied this from Journeys faithfully
Even if he did I know this song. Never heard of Journey faithfully and don't care to.
I hated Clapton up until this.
Q:- What made you hate him, hate is a very strong word, dislike his music possibly but hate him has he done something to you that makes you feel like that?
Well I despise the word hate.. I rarely use it.. it is not representative of the legend that is Eric Clapton! Why hate? That is personal very much so? Dislike if you so wish however hate? No!
mais comment il a l'air de s'emmerder ! super guitariste ....mais le charisme , rien !
