When You Were Mine. I don't know how to describe it, he did it during Montreux (immediately after Renato's keyboard solo) and also during one of the Lovesexy rehearsals.

It's a tie

The solo in The Warehouse "rehearsal" (Neon Rendezvous) of Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)

The solo in the 2010 Milan performance of Purple Rain

(can I have a runner up with the solo in Just My Imagination from Small Clubberlang?)

The solo at the end of Empty Room from C-Note. The song is fantastic but that solo is played with such pain and passion. It's so raw that it's as of his heart was just broken before he walked on stage. I think it helps my love of the song to know it was performed this way at a soundcheck. I heard the bootleg of that soundcheck and I know it's the real deal and not some of Prince's magic overdubbing he loves so much. Just beautiful...

The guitar solo during Bambi from The Undertaker. The solo played during the 5th night of Xenophobia in 2002 is amazing as well.

It's not a "solo" but the base work on 777-9311 is probably my favorite Prince instrumental

So many!

I'm really feeling at the moment:

. Anna Stesia (One Nite Alone...CD Version- So powerful)

. Spanish Castle Magic/ When You Were Mine (Montreux! Shoot...everything from that was just stellar & fantastic!

He has some fantastic solos & I have to say his guitar work just gets better with time! smile
It's Button Therapy, Baby!

So good. His live dirty tone with the hohner has been great since around 09 or so.

chill..prince doesnt like men being front row, makes it hard to sing the ballads
