bro ur full of shit that’s not what he said at all. Prince let the leads get jacked by Lynne’s guitarist in rehearsals and wasn’t showing anything. All the production crew was worried that prince was gonna flop but Dhani Harrison felt like he was holding back instead. Prince gave up the mid solo to Lynne’s guitarist and just took the last one. The look on Dhani’s face is 101% an oh fuck here it comes excited thing

[@Anime_n_Music]

@@orbanchristophercoThat's what he said, but I don't believe he was being completely honest in that interview. Did you see the smile on Dhani's face when Prince took his position on stage?

I love prince's music, but I can see what George's son might have thought. The throwing of the guitar up in the air at the end was a bit elitist, if that's the appropriate word, and was kinda like Prince saying "Ok I'm the big star. Now I'm gonna walk off because my work is done here". He is a superstar obviously, but there are one or two other guys on stage that are pretty OK too. BTW, where did the guitar go? Didn't see it come down! (unless it bounced off Dhani's head and that's why he was annoyed).

yes, and in a studio, Prince can do a Pink Floyd favorite by HIMSELF. That is praising Floyd, as their music live was so magical. This video when it came out shocked a lot of casual fans, but I always knew he could play like this, and better - if you listen to most of his work, he is a very emotional player with masterful sense of vibrato and bends, and this song was made for him to hit out of the park. Clapton is a huge fan, and he must have LOVED it. PRINCE IS AN ALL TIME GREAT. BUt none of the all time greats has mastered all the instruments and can play as many styles as Prince, plus sing and dance? No one comes close.

An understatement :) whoever thought of asking Prince to do this needs a medal on so many levels, its a lovely nod to George (both were creative and experimental songwriters), a nod to Eric's original solo which was in itself a 'step out' for the Beatles, it brings attention to this great song once again, it shows Prince as a more consummat artiste alongside respected contemporaries and as an individual guitar player...

Olivia Harrison [George’s widow] asked Jeff and Tom if they would come along and induct George. They were told Prince is going to play too,” and they were like, “Wow, that’s fantastic.” Prince was inducted the same night, so everything worked out great.

Thats about right, but you left out that Harrison's widow didn't really want Prince to play on the tribute. It was nothing against Princes.
