Great way to start the day with a Beatles / George Harrison classic. I don’t recall ever seeing that many guitars on stage at once but it definitely works. Prince was awesome but it’s too bad Slowhand wasn’t part of the gig to reprise his famous solo.
Suggest you watch The Concert for George. Clapton does same song, and others. He does a comparable job. Also does a great job on Isn’t It A Pity, appropriate for the times.
Massive overplay. I’ll take Clapton’s taught, tight solo over this any day. By the way Rich, check out Peter Frampton’s version of this song. Quite good.

Thank you Prince for saving that song from the color-by-number guys. You would have thought it was a session funeral up to that point!
Bravo!

Awesome version of great song. But how could it apply to Springfield? Who’s been diverted? Perverted? Bought and sold?

Ran across this by chance a couple of months ago. Prince gives Clapton a run for his money.

Thanks, Rich! Great song, fell in love with Prince all over again!

You know if he (Prince) played more music like that, I’d might even like him.
- Duke - Wednesday, Jul 22, 15 @ 9:03 am:
Good choice! Hope to see some SRV & Double Trouble or Mark Knopfler in the future.

Great tribute to George Harrison. Prince is one of the best musicians in rock & roll and one tremendous guitar player. Great choice, Rich!

Around the 4:45 mark, Dhani Harrison breaks out into a big smile at Prince’s solo - what more could you ask for?

And then he tosses his guitar in the air and walks off stage — Prince’s version of a mic drop.

That performance captures the essence of consummate professionals at the top of their creative and stylistic peak. Bravo!!

DE, Clapton was lead guitar on The Beatles recording of the tune on “The White Album,” but was uncredited at the time of the original release.
But you can tell it ain’t John or George.
