He is the best ALL AROUND musician ever. There are countless stories of GIANTS in the music biz who jammed with him (usually at paisley park), and left slack jawed at how great he was on every instrument. A true shame that he got hooked on the pain pills. By all accounts he was pretty clean living until he developed hip problems in his 40s.

Solo didn't fit the song or the performance at all.

The weirdest thing about this video is that Prince literally comes out of nowhere, the shadows. It's weird, go back and look at when he appears, he literally materializes.

Ive heard about this to the point of thinking it's an urban legend. Never actually listened to it.

It’s only been posted here 98 times before. Just go back to when Prince died and every thread here was a bunch of people claiming they’ve had Prince in their Top 5 forever.

The board? More like the universe.

The pieface Johnny Cash in the bushes is still much cooler.

This is spot on. Clapton's original on The White Album was better. He actually makes the guitar sound like it's crying and it fits the song. Prince was to busy and showboating and making it too much about himself instead of honoring Harrison. IMO

George Harrison's son, Dhani, seemed to enjoy it. Check his big smile starting at about 4:40 when Prince lights it up. That's always my favorite part of the video.
