Who played sax on "Desire"?

I'm not normally a sax fan, but the playing on P's version of this track is enough to make me a believer. Anyone know who's playing on it? My god, how could I just have discovered this track after 20 years as a fan?!

I'm pretty sure it's Eric Leeds.

Thanks! Am I crazy in thinking this is one of the best? I'll take this over Moonbeam Levels or Electric Intercourse any day! The Family version, however, doesn't quite get there for some reason...

One of my favourite topics ...the song "Desire".
Well, there is this ultra super mega cool version on The Purple Rush box set.
It`s from a Revolution rehearsal, and it`s quite a bit different. Although the melody is the exact same, it has minor chords to it, which sounds absolutly fucking great. If you liked the Eric`s playing on the track which i believe you heard, then you wait until you hear the recording i am talking about. Not to mention the fabulous guitar solo from Prince. Ah....this is what i like, that`s my shit. Prince heaven.
Love...thy will b done

Thanks for the tip. A guitar solo on that song would send me over the top. It really has a totally different vibe than most of his songs--very sexy and sad at the same time.
