RIP Jimbo 🌹 🕊️ I'm greatful for the Memories! ☔ 💜 Thanks Eric. 🌎✌️💙🤞🫶🦋🎶Heals the Soul! Praying for my Country! 🇺🇸 Tired of the Fear and Hate! May God Bless Us All with Peace and Love. 🙏😢
My oh My this is simply mind blowing !!! Have always admired Eric and Prince but this tribute to Prince is something else. Amazing work Eric and the band. Prince, we all miss you so much . Gone far too soon.
WOW!! what an awesome performance / tribute!! Just reaffirms why I have followed and listened to Clapton all these years.. YEs Virginia, there is a God,, his name is Eric Clapton!
👍 As a 70ish y.o. Baby Boomer who grew up with Prince’s original, I thought this was a 👏 cover by Eric. It’s a big part of my youth - not only bc of Prince and this song, but SO much more music, AND the good ‘ole days’ of a 🌟 time period of life in general. The song reminds me of many other ‘classics’ - by the Stones, Procal Harem (‘Whiter Shade of Pale’), Neil Young, Dylan, and a LOT more. This is the music that withstands the test of time - generation after generation (whether the originals or more recent covers like this)! * Can’t believe I haven’t seen or heard this before today 🙃.
Magnifique 🙏 merci Mr Éric Clapton pour cet énième hommage au Purple Génius 💜. Quand une légende rend hommage à une autre forcément cela ne peut que donner un grand moment. 👏👏👏.
😮well he’s no Prince, but he did this so beautifully. Long ago in an interview, Clapton was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world, with no hesitation and a humble heart, Clapton said he had no idea, they would have to ask Prince. Mad respect ✊ Play it pretty & loud Eric Clapton….🎸
This is the finest rendition ever.. Eric knows exactly how to play this beautiful song.. he does so with passion and grace! He to my mind is the finest guitarist in the world! His longevity says it all! To play Prince this takes guts! Eric has not only the ability to play this beauty of a song with the utmost respect plus grace in homage to Prince.. in fact Eric can and does play every genre! There is no stopping this incredible Legend of our times ever! Eric you are absolutely phenomenal! Thank you so very much 💞
Talent , passion , soul , admiration , I could go on and on , what a rendition of a masterpiece , this sits alongside the Waterboys cover ,only a genius can work their spell on the work of another genius. THANK YOU ERIC AND BAND AND THANK YOU PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION.
This is pure excellence and just what can happen when a master is surrounded by dedicated musicians who are totally absorbed in the sharing of a masterpiece. A timeless legend paying absolute tribute to a legend that will never be forgotten. Absolutely incredible.☮️
What a great version of the master Eric Clapton!, I still remember in my teens in the 80s, having gathered to buy the Vinyl album "Prince and the Revolution"
Hear today 25 /6 on radio, in the morning, that the Prince Album make 40 years...! 😮 Time running fast.. Have been following Clapton concerts and this one appears..! It's a tribute...!
Quando Clapton chiude gli occhi e fa viaggiare le dita.. diventa tutto poesia... Grazie Eric per questa versione, grazie Prince per questo capolavoro che resterà una delle migliori canzoni nell'universo ❤
Clapton would be ol' Prince's most famous Uber fan. The very man's words when asked by a journalist in Paris as to how it feels to be the world's greatest guitarist. Eric's answer? 'Hmm, no idea but you could always ask Prince' 😅
I hadn’t heard that comment by Clapton before, but did read/hear him say in an interview that he CAN play well 👍 WHEN he wants to, and then at others not 👎.
En el concierto por George apareció por ahí Prince con su guitarra y fue un regalo, Clapton es una aventura hoy y va a su bola, no es simple por que la gente le pide que toque trescientas canciones de las que mas les gustan escuchar y eso deja poco tiempo, intenta controlar que no se pasen mas de dos horas, lo intenta, pero depasa las dos horas con mucho, le gusta que le sigan oyendo se lo sigue currando y lo hace por amor, es su vocacion interior, esa banda es una joya No le gusta que le graben por que dice que la gente no vive lo que esta viendo y escuchando y no hay una conexion con los musicos ni de los musicos con el publico de la misma manera y estoy deacuerdo......... pero no hubiera visto este video si alguien no lo hubiera hecho......
Simplesmente fantástico, é como se tudo que Eric Clapton toca torna-se dele, pois ele incrivelmente se faz parte da música em solos de guitarra e nesse caso expressão vocal, parabéns 🎉 Prince que me desculpe, mas esta versão é muito melhor que a original kkkkk
Eric paying tribute to a man he looked up to is nice, a decent and pleasant thing to do, now go look for Prince Purple Rain (Live in Syracuse) and see obscene level of genius in action
