Why is no one talking about the singer?! Killer voice, great phrasing, really great take on a song most people really don't do that well. Everything else was great too, just thought this should be said.

Everybody on this band is out of this world, but the drummer is insane! Unbelievable!

The Martin Miller band is a great example of why, as a musician, you should learn as many songs in as many styles as possible. Never ever stop learning. FANTASTIC band.

Mark Lettieri's tone is out of this world!!!!!

The vocalist is excellent in that he knows the strengths and limits of his voice. He doesn't over reach, but stays where he is strong. That is a great skill that applies to many disciplines. Nice.

No one’s talking about how beautiful this studio space is... there’s hardwood floors, a cool enormous bookshelf and live plants... nice

Marks solo was so full of emotion. What a great cover! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Warning: This solo leads to insane multiple chills!

Mark Lettieri 's tone is Amazing

The tone on that white Fender Strat is incredible..

I just love love love love love love the drummer in this band.As a drummer myself his groove and timing are something to be behold.As for the rest of the band they're just off the planet,masters in there own right.Keep blowing us away

Music is the best thing to ever exist. Period.

This two man's collab is too early to be in this world...

Martin, all the hours of late night practice, voice lessons, trying to figure out were the money was going to come from to put together studio time etc. has all payed off. I hope you know how appreciated you and the band, guest, and crew in the background have people who know the quality of music you are putting out. Thank you from one of the many who look forward to the next Video or lesson..The very best, George

Purple rain melody is one of the best of all time.What eargams! Especially Mark's solo brought tears to my eyes

real music with real musicians and the drummer is just fantastic ,what a feeling in is game.

First Andy Timmons, then Paul Gilbert, now Mark Lettieri. Great selection of guests. ❤

Perfect example of 2 guys that can fly around the guitar neck but realize that sometimes less is more as long as it is done with soul and passion. Great job! Props to the entire band....

The harmonic that Mark uses on <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="248">4:08</a> / <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="250">4:10</a> is so fucking killer that every time that I think about this cover, I remember this part of the solo.

killer bass and vocals. Mark's solo was outstanding. Just impeccable phrasing, impeccable tone. Perfection

Next guest Guthrie Govan ? Would be an amazing collab.

Glad to see this video back in your channel bro

Man singing was insane and Felix as always killing the drums

The voice of the bass player is outstanding

Martin Miller and Mark Lettieri are my favorite guitarists, they have different styles

the epitome of music in one video. the drummer is insanely accurate. Martin miller you are my HERO

That was beautiful. I am sure that Prince is looking down from the heavens with a big old smile on his face.

Marks opening bend at his solo at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="230">3:50</a> was so good he had to take a knee! Ugh so good!

Prince would be proud! Congratulations from Brazil!!!

Mark’s guitar solo is so tastefully done. Martin is the ultimate shredder! Goals!

I'm a simple man, I see Martin Miller, I hit like

Best rock ballad EVER written. Great performance guys!!!

It's so beautiful....I loooove these videos of the Martin Miller Band and their guests. It's pure pleasure to see how they master their instruments.....

This is probably one of the best songs ever written. I've listened to so many covers of it, yet to discover a bad one. Great job by this group.

This is how a cover should be done. It respects the original intent of the song, while letting the style and talents of the individual performers shine through. There's not a weak link in this group - and I especially like the B3 filling out the soundscape. Please give us more!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="230">3:50</a>, Mr. Mark Lettieri, best fucking solo, for my taste, that I have ever heard in the total history of time. Delivered so correctly, with that tone, those notes...OMG my soul has melted down🔥🔥love it ❤❤

Now imagine having this killer band plays on your birthday or wedding 😍😍

One of the few covers that catches the spirit of the original.

Mark Lettieri----> Excellent Performance, amazing guitar solo

Who’s back here again and again and again ?

My god that pinch harmonic by Mark at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="249">4:09</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="250">4:10</a> is so nasty! Nobody can even get close to how he mastered that! Such an incredible group of musicians! 🔥🤘🏼

Honestly this cover is better than most original music on radio these days

The best part about this cover is how much Mark makes love to his guitar, like anyone covering a Prince song should.

People are not ready to apreciate this kind of quality yet.

I just recently found you guys and I’m truly impressed with the talent in that room. The guitar playing is fantastic to me and so are all of the musicians. I love listening to the music guys make, it’s amazing.👍👍🇨🇦

Guys... what a cover, made me cry, but not about the song, but about you, as a group as very old friends.. thank you ❤

would love to see mateus asato doing collab with u guys

Martin Miller makes my mind magnify maximally

genios

Me disculpo, no tengo las palabras necesarias para describir esto. Es mucho más que magnífico, increíble, asombroso y artístico. Sentí, por un momento, que trajeron a Prince a la vida, de nuevo. Muchas gracias.

Damn, that dude really sings!!

Everything sounds so goooood. Omg the bass is perfect and the guitar tones are immaculate. The organ sits perfectly in the mix and fuck do the drums sound so good. Amazing work sound guys!

Lighter is being held firmly up in the air. Awesome homage to the Purple Prince of Rock.

I’ve been watching this in my studio for a while but just tonight I listened on headphones. I was blown away before but through headphones I thought my head would explode! I’ve loaded the audio into ProTools and going forward will use it as a reference track. Although I mostly do acoustic sessions, every once and a while I get a rock band in here. Usually the guitarist is a shredder. With this track as a reference I can point out that you can play melodically while still shredding. And I love me some melodic playing! This track has it all. The musicianship is great, the vocals are great, the production (EQ, mixing etc.) is phenomenal…it all goes together seamlessly. One thing I especially liked was at the five minute mark, when the guitarists change solos, there is just enough separation in the mix that you can hear the handoff. I also love the buildup..,.the dynamics. On headphones I can hear subtleties that I miss on my JBL 4311s (I know, they’re old, but they still sound fantastic). But the mix sounds great on both the monitors and the cans. I can’t wait for the next rock group to come in here so I can show them how it can, and should, be done. I’d love to hear this in surround. I’d also love to hear it without the RU-vid processing. Kudos to all involved.

you guys are all gods of your instruments and i never get tired of those videos. once again, this drummer is just one of the best ive ever heard

That drum kit is perfectly tuned and final master is PERFECT!!! So nice to hear for a change!

The transition from solo flawlessly into melodic line at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="366">06:06</a> 🤯🤯🤯👏👌

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="231">3:51</a> Guitar is crying. What a solo.

...I never knew Daniel Ricciardo could sing that good holy cow 0_o

The guitar solo part just too perfect to hear. damnnnn

Guys, your channel, your videos, your records should be property of the world and be saved forever.

I don’t know if I should go practice for a while or just burn my gear. That was amazing.

Benni is killing it on the vocals this time! Great stuff!

Everyone brought their A-game! Absolutely fantastic work from everyone but Mark Lettieri has got to have one of the best senses of melody and "pocket" in the game. What a player!

This is an amazing cover, the passion in this song is unmistakable and everything about the arrangement is on the highest level.

That voice is BEAUTIFUL.

Always a total pleasure to listen to and watch such a phenomenal group of musicians. Mark Lettieri’s contribution here is sublime, a masterclass in note choice, note articulation, technique and feel. Fantastic!

Sou Brasileiro... e vocês fizeram uma ótima versão!!! PARABÉNS!!!!

This is amazing cover. What else to say, all of you in this video is talented and gifted. I hope you guys keep rockin’ and God bless us all 🙏🏽

Bass player always has a smile - drummer is awesome - you guys really are superb. Keep coming back to this one - the solos are insane. Keep it going!!

The changes between the two lead guitars are perfect. I thought The Classic Rock Show was the only place I could see this level of accomplishment superb , thank you.

Brought me a few moments of joy and calm that I needed during a difficult time tonight. Thank you guys for making music!

Martin outstanding as always. Wonderful solo part. And the band of course great. But i never heard a strat solo with this phrasing and how Mr Lettieri build the complete solo ...i really had tears in my eyes and all the hairs on my arms stand up to heaven. What a magical musician. Thank you, thank you to the whole band and of course the marvelous vocal performance. Magic!

Excellent singer, unbelievable musicians- I'm impressed.

That was really moving. The guitars had different feels but both were just as emotional. Great job...wow hit me right in the gut listening to it, which shows me the soul in everyone's playing. Oh and shout out to that drummer, low key greatness there.

Prince was a great musiction. Thanx

The two guitar solos were amazing. Bravo 👏🏼

Thank you, Martin, for all these outstanding covers with all your amazing guests. Brilliant bright minded professional band, a unique one in our days, when everyone is skilled and open. Benni is something special here...what a voice and tone, differ from one cover to another, just great!

Benni totally owns this song. Mach weiter so!

In addition to the world-class music these guys put out, I love seeing the joy on their faces as they do what they love.

Mark Lettieri great sound and spectacular solo technique & feeling.

Martin I am so thankful that you guys are doing this. Because its self funded the amount of devotion it takes is unbelievable . I m not in a condition to be a patreon right now but all I can say is thank you from the bottim of my heart. This is quality music .

Killer vocals! What a great performance, gentlemen! Edit: Been playing this for three days in a row since I first listened to it. It's fantastic. 👌🏻

What a stellar performance. And if you ever wanted a shootout between a Strat and an AZ, well, this is it. They both sound amazing.

Martin's arrangement is just wow, definitely one of the best out there, and the band amazing as always!

OMG! I have chills all over my body.... what an spectacular rendition!!! Thank you guys!

When there are more cameraman than musicians... still a hell of a cover. Great job, as always!!

This what I call music, keep on guys

Un assolo monumentale!!!

Absolutely phenomenal performance, not only from Mark Lettieri, but from the MM session band themselves. Thank you!

Es una versión espectacular, tocada con una calidad sorprendente, felicitaciones.

Perfect sound, perfect solos, perfect rhythms... WOWWWW!

I got chills multiple times during this performance. I know a lot of that is thanks to Prince's brilliant songwriting, but also because of the immense talent showcased here. Superb cover and truly something I won't forget for quite some time.

Outstanding. Especially the singer. I really didn't see it coming. Of course the rest of the band is top drawer as well. Well done.

Seriously, who gave this a thumbs down?!?! Great job on the vocals

Excellent rendition

This guy is so talented, brilliant bass player and top vocalist amazing

Crying guitars and melting tones kick my ass with amazing players. this is so dope.
