I started out disappoited because this sounded very different from the song on 1999 but I teared up because it "spoke" to me on another level! Rest well, sweet Prince!

[@FoxyChariot]

That’s because the appeal of songs has to be condensed to be as immediate as possible on a pop album. Or at least as immediate as a freaky new wave song like this one can be

[@peterdockerty8077]

The last time I saw him do this was in 2014 Manchester UK with 3rdEye Girl. Brilliant version he rocked out that night which is all over KZbin, check it out. This particular rendition was around the time I first recognised Prince as being a huge Megastar and what a superb guitarist

[@purplehead9511]

Yes fella I was there also and that was my 100th Prince show. I agree he was on fire around that time and this track that night was probably the stand out moment for me.

[@peterdockerty8077]

@@purplehead9511 envy you there. I only got to see him a couple of times once with the Revolution back in the day and once in Vegas in his Purple Lounge. We just happened to be lucky that he was in town and decided to come out and jam. Over 2 hours later he was still smashing it. Sadly missed

[@DavidWright447706099886]

Solo starts at 7:12. He and Jimi must have been brothers.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

That solo is a lot more Santana/Jeff Beck to my ears. Hendrix was a watershed influence but aside from Prince always quickly stating Hendrix wasn't one of his influences; his playing is way too tight and melodic. I hear Hendrix in Robin Trower, Adrian Belew, and Ernie Islet though.

[@samuelmorado70]
