Obviously three of P's most Hendrixian (is there such a word?) nods, I really think P turns it up to a whole new level with these. They are unique in their own right, with both showcasing Prince's otherworldly skills on the electric guitar.

I personally prefer Habibi, but Dreamer is probably better known. Purple House has seen the light of day in several incarnations, most notably on the Rave 2000 DVD and the Power of Soul Jimi Hendrix tribute. I found the tribute version terribly watered down, but decent none the less.

For those familiar with these three, how would you rate these in terms of best guitar work.

1) Habibi
2) Dreamer
3) Purple House

Also----If there are more Prince/Hendrix items out there, please include these as well. I am aware that he has performed Voodoo Chile and others during the NPG era (back in 1993-96), but if anyone can give me the list of songs performed, I'd appreciate it.

He performed Spanish Castle Magic at The Conga Room in LA on 3/28/09.

Habibi.

And at Montreux. He played 'Who Knows' at the Vega club in Copenhagen on the ONA tour.

I know he's performed "Villanova Junction" but I'm not sure about the date(s). I've always wanted to hear what he'd do with "Manic Depression". One of my favs from Hendrix.

While not Hendrix penned, Prince has of course played the Hendrix versions of All Along The Watch Tower and Them Changes.

My vote goes to Habibi, though I do like Purple House from Power Of Soul too. I would love a studio version of All Along The Watch Tower.

Habibi is my vote. I can't believe I only "heard" it recently. What era is it from?

Dreamer second.

habibi is from 2000
its the first recording we heard with John B on drums and after long stagnation in P guitar playing it sounded like breathe of fresh air
Prince shredslike a madman there
