So many great musicians paid respect to Prince 💜. When Eric Clapton does it. Its the ultimate 🥏 respect. I'm the biggest Prince 💜 fan on the planet 🌍. This made me so emotional 😭

Eric Clapton does such an amazing rendition of Purple Rain. I cried

Eric was asked in an interview what it’s like being the best guitarist in the world…… he replied I don’t know … go and ask Prince .

Purple Rain Clapton style. Killer guitar solo❤😊

No bigger compliment than to have slow hand himself learn your song. Amazing as expected.

IN FOREVER MEMORY OF PRINCE..THANK YOU CLAPTON FOR HIS HONOR AND TRIBUTE..!! ONE OF A KIND..PRINCE IS IN THE HEAVENS SMILING UPON US ALL..FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED..R.I.P PRINCE..

The three major greats...."Beck, Clapton and Page" that almost every rock guitarist speaks of as influences finally lost one of the giants, Jeff Beck, but we still have the other two!!! Clapton is as brilliant as ever in this performance, paying tribute to THE most talented artist PRINCE!!!! Rip Prince and Beck. Keep on keepin' on Slowhand!!!

Clapton , thank you Sir , loved you and your music my whole life , thank u thank u

After all these years he has still got it , one of the best guitar players ever

Professional lament for a uncomparable poet now reposed, this song will live for ever and ever.

Best cover of this song ever

This is beautiful when Eric really gets into it ❤️

This has a great feel. Guitar is like the spirit of the song as performed by Prince’s band. Terrific.

Eric. You’re a great musician honoring one who You felt was even better than you. How humbling and a blessing that its

Eric knows a good song.And interprets it.the soul and passion.the essence of it.lift us up. Sail and shine on.music lovers.

Grat show eric the love of my life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

First time listener..just finished Chris Stapleton an his tribute to Prince by singing. “Nothing Compares To You”

Well done Mr. Clapton. Well done. Thank you Prince for all the beautiful music you gave to us. 💜RIP💜🙏

A very good version it really compares to the original by its owner Prince so many artists disappeared at the top of their art Prince is one of them Thanks God we are left with their eternal hits I remember when I was engaged to my wife we used to play the movie purple rain starring Prince towards the end of the movie when we arrived at the song hit we played it over and over we never got tired of it It brings so many memories now I'm getting older with heart sickness how I wish those days were back again

Great tribute to a great man and genius in our lfitetime. The whole band was integral to this--and the audience too. A fantastic wonderful moment.

I like the way the drummer sets the right pace in the first 30s of the song🙂

Yes this is very good. I miss our guy and still have a hard time speaking of him

Che meraviglia!! L’assolo mi ha fatto sgorgare lacrime e poi .. solo la musica ,il mito vivente e quello non. Siamo fortunati a poter ancora godere di questi artisti !!💜

Wonderful rendition Eric 's great 💖💖💖

The only 2 artists I ever want to play this, Eric that was Awesome 💜

Beautiful!! Thank you for this touching tribute. And awesome rendition!!!

Thx , Eric, for youre version of this masterpiece

Slow Hand knows how to do It. Very good

The spaces in between the notes, Prince Rogers Nelson, a musical comet has left us , great songwriter, hell of a guitarist, ........

So Awesome....We forget how great so many artists were till they are gone....

Dear Eric Thankyou Prince and you are in our hearts forever.

Wow! Thank you for posting!

When asked how it felt to be the world's best guitar player, Clapton replied:" no idea, why don't you ask Prince?". If this is true (you never know) it's a praise to Clapton's personality and to Prince's always underestimated guitar talent. Two wonderful artists and last of their kind unfortunately.

Wow! All I can say is wow!!!!!

Great music takes you to another Place.

amazing work

Thanks for the memories. 😁

There’s only 1 prince who can make the guitar weep , R.i.P. 🙏🏼❤️

Great, RIP Prince...

I don't think I've seen Eric ask the audience to sing along like he does at 6:17..very moving

The best guitar player to me he is number one.

Thanks great 👍

KATIE KISSOON É UM SHOW A PARTE.

Excuse me I Will cry....

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸❤️

👍🖤

Is this from the 2019 Crossroads show anybody?

Sorry, what was the name of this pub?

Clapton wS right ask Prince

Someone said he thought the drummer was slacking. IDK about that but Nathan East is on bass and he's either really tired or about at the point where he's phoning this one in. Granted, Purple Rain isn't some slap-happy tour de force for the bass.

au fond du temps...

Prince was killed?

just a carpet for yourself. What about these guys with you?

Good job EC but Prince does it best!

omg ... seriously?

Typical of Slow hand respecting prince

I love Eric Clapton and thought he did an alright job on this song, but Purple Rain was Prince's song and he did better.

Clapton's Gedudel wird total überschätzt, hier hört man deutlich seine Schwächen. Er ist nur ein besserer Cover Gitarrist! Gut für Kuschelrock!!!

The drummer is slepping.

Now to compare covers go watch Prince cover while my Guitar Gently Weeps. I think Prince roasted 'ol Eric in guitar performance. There is nobody like him. Modern day Hendrix.

Not sure what to think... I definitely appreciate Clapton's attempt (and literally worship his outstanding career) but maybe this song does not fit his style. Let me explain: when Prince recorded this song, he was 25 or 26 and he wasn't half of the half of the guitar player that he would become in his mature age (you all remember him blowing the stage up in 'while my guitar gently weeps', I assume). But still, he was much better than this. This is strange. Anyhoo, well done Clapton, a tribute is always remarkable!!!

😂

Recording is terrible... So much disturbance & hardly you can hear the vocalist!!????

The daily colt normally rinse because statistic wailly enjoy till a righteous steam. guiltless, exciting exclusive dust

eric clapton is god, not. why? eric...purple rain? sure we all can understand why its a great song full of intimate emotion and soaring highs. ive never seen purple rain performed so flat and lifeless before. if your performing purple rain to an audience you have to at least try and bring it. forget about trying to out perform Prince you wont come close, and those 6in. stiletto boots are too big to fill. its all in the song itself, those 4chords when struck simply bleed with emotion. plus. if Prince were to cover Layla, arguably claptons greatest song, u better believe Prince will make it his own.

Good but it ain't Prince.

Awful recording .

eric stop making those stupid faces while u are playing guitar

Eric fell asleep what happened to the Guitar solo he stinks and he’s lazy.

Not even close Eric ýou can't polish real genius i

Nice EC , but some songs should be left alone, and this is one of them. But loved it anyways.

OK. Just OK. It needs to be Prince for this song. Some songs are and should stay unique.

Clapton is an embarrassment. Prince was a genius.
