In any case, this 2009 Prince live performance absolutely blew my tiny mind and I suspect you'll have the same reaction.
I know it's a cliche, but damn if that guy wasn't quite possibly the all-around greatest musical talent in the lifetime of anybody who reads this here blog.
In any case -- thanks, Sal. Now I gotta go check out some of your other choices.

It's one of the reasons I collect Prince bootlegs -- he played a lot of great covers that never made it onto record, or if they did, were pale copies of what he did live. This, Whole Lotta Love, Honky Tonk Women, Come Together, the Rock Lobster riff-jam, a slew of Sly songs -- he played what he loved and let others worry about categories.
I think Prince is overrated as a guitar soloist BUT (and it's a big but) as a producer, bandleader, etc. he delivered and then some on the promise of previous multi-instrumentalists like Winwood and Rundgren.
