When I first saw this almost made me cry. Made me think about how everything is changing around me nowadays. Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in today's world. But I will keep on going on until the good Lord calls me home someday. This song gives me hope. Eric Clapton kicks it on guitar.

@bluelarsen20934 жыл бұрын
@@thedon8594 Cute. If you're even a little questioning Prince as a guitar player, stop listening to music. Forever. You don't deserve to. With the few brain cells you must have left in your head, do some research into the versatile, incredible, virtuoso guitar playing of Prince Rogers Nelson. Only the most dipshit of a music fan would think that Prince couldn't play. Clapton is playing tribute to him here, having called him an "ultimate genius" in the past. Miles Davis wanted to be Prince. Elton John said "everyone knelt at his feet." Why do you think all that is, moron? Prince was a concert pianist, one of the most badass guitarists of all time, a 5 octave singer, the best bassist Dave Grohl, who has jammed with McCartney, said he ever jammed with, and could shred and soul with anyone on guitar. The fact that you are trying to be cute with your little quip, it only shows how truly insanely ignorant you must be.

@ProdigyCrew. It was, I think personally Prince would play them both off the stage, but it was 1969/1970 when the quote was made, way before Prince, Knopfler Moore, who were Claptons immediate competition. Check out the Alex cho link, confirms what has been getting said since the 70s, way before Prince was on the scene. Just a quote "re-hashed"

I was at the Royal Albert Hall that night! I flew all the way from the US just to see him and it was without a doubt the event of my life! Mr. Clapton and his band were awesome as always, but when he played Purple Rain for the encore you could just feel the overwhelming magic that filled the Hall, as he and the audience were sooooooooo connected! He even leaned forward asking us to sing more! :) I think that Mr. Clapton was, and still is, the very best of the best! I feel privileged that he is still performing for us with the pain he goes through with hearing loss and neuropathy . Thank you Mr. Clapton for all your years of performing for us and your giving heart and soul to help others through Crossroads. I pray I can go to many more of his performances! :)
