I have shared this performance with people many, many times. Most recently with my father in law. So, I have to assume you're referring to the below video. The one you posted is Prince performing Purple Rain from said film. Thx for sharing! Onward!!!
I can't believe I've not seen that before. I got chills. Is that Dhani Harrison on rhythm? I suppose it's technically slaying Clapton (from a guitar perspective), but that's nitpicky and no less awesome either way. Sad to see Tom and Prince up there having such a good time. Poor bastards. Petty's voice on that performance is really melodic and nice, not like his typical country thing. What a beautiful vid. Thanks for posting.
Yes. That’s Dhani. And some of my favorite parts are watching his expression. Prince owns that stage. It’s so much fun to watch.
whoa... that's a weird youtube doing it's youtube thing... yes. I thought I had copied the link starting just before the solo... hmmm.... just tried to post again... hubski doesn't honor the start at tag in the link. interesting. Whoops. yes - and thank you for catching that. and as a bonus... here's Prince in the actual rain
