purple reign

i was wondering what is YOUR favourite redition of the track 'purple rain'. Personally i would have to say that the version found on the bootleg 'miles to nowhere' is my favourite by far. the way in which he inccorporates it into the song 'auld lang syne' is a work of sheer genius. the passion in his guitar playing promotes both screams of loss and sadness but also rides high on the fact that a new year has dawned, hope exists, there is love in my song. His playing is truly inspired, he is euphoric at this point - "i gotta do one!". APossibly one the greatest musical moments in the musical work of a both gifted and inspired individual. long may u reign.

This is a joke right?!?!?

The way he incorporates Auld Lang Syne into Purple Rain is pure genius?!?! Ha ha ha... No it's not!!!

Buddy, you need to listen to some more music!!

I'm sorry, the above is an excellent example of how many Prince fans exagerate anything the man does. WOW!!!

what prince is to me is not to u. there are as many dimensions to a personality as they are people percieving it. if i think tha it is a moment of genius then it is. it may be rubbish to u. the correct opinion is the one which we stand by when discussing subjective material. so get a life u sad fuck. this should be a place of celebration, peolple such as your self are ruining it for others.

I still really like the 18 min Syracuse live Video version.
Especially the slow build guitar solo before the vocals, when Prince makes his entrance.
