The violin instead of lead guitar is pure musical genius. Never knew a violin could sound better than an electric guitar. Absolutely smashed it. 👏
It’s a fiddle not a violin
A fiddle and a violin are the same instrument…
@@TheJasongolf Fiddle or violin is just different playing styles on th same instrument
It’s a fiddle
STEVE WICKHAM
That fiddler is a master.
Everything Mike Scott touches turns to gold.
Thank you Prince!❤
Thank you Waterboys!
❤❤❤
Purple Rain is a timeless and immortal anthem. You have to have courage to cover this magnum opus. For these geniuses I have been a follower of The Waterboys for more than 30 years.
Yes great talent but even greater betrayal.
Vax disguised as a bioweapon and no pushbike.
Artists or con artists.
Waterboys decide.
The keyboard player is having the most fun!
I'm sure Prince would have loved this.. .
The greatest cover! That fiddle gives Prince's guitar playing a run for his money.
You can tell how great a band is by how well they can do a cover of someone’s song.
incredible version...hard to do justice to such a song, but The Waterboys DID it! An amazing version. Prince must be smiling and nodding his head in approval ! :)
Another level... Waterboys Great, Great Band
That was just so amazing. Prince would have been proud. I hope.
Prince proud of genocide.
Don't think so.
Mike & The Waterboys did a version 40 years ago, back when Prince was the biggest artist in the world. On 'The Live Adventures Of The Waterboys'. This is still so great!
HOLY S*&T....NEVER HEARD THIS ...BUT FIGURES THESE TWO MASTERS OF THE MUSIC UNIVERSE HAD RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER....LOVE THEM BOTH!! 🎉🥰
one of the best covers all time...chills! been listening to ya's for 35 years ...cheers from 🇨🇦
Prince, thank you 🙏🏿 and Waterboys, thank you too. How moving was that. I cried when I heard the violin solo. Incredible special performance. Thank you 😂
often said, but this time it's true: the most underrated band ever!
I try to steer away from bags that try to play this..... But the Waterboys NAILED IT!!!!!! The emotion is all there, well done!!!!
🥰🇺🇲❤️🇨🇮☘️
Magnificent!
I mean… wow
Never knew the waterboys covered this
This is beautiful . He'd be so proud 💌
What a band steve wickham a genius, long may the music of the waterboys and prince live long in our memories,brilliant
This is a sincere and passionate performance of respect, sorrow ( Soulful Irish lament element), joy and gratitude that Prince would have understood and loved.
Scottish. But we can agree on Celtic
Where did you get the Irish from??
@@JohnCampbell-sl5nx The Waterboys/Mike Scott have lived in Galway, Ireland for years and have admitted to being heavily influenced by the Irish music tradition and Irish musicians.
@@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815 still doesn't make them an Irish, band first started in Edinburgh all Scots students, members come and go it had Welsh English and Irish, it's founding member is Michael Scott, sometimes his brother is in the band when his health allows, your playing to much with the leprechaun's and the wood fairy's , take off your tinsel hat, stick to facts not fantasy fiction.
@@JohnCampbell-sl5nx Learn to read.
Absaloute genius ❤❤❤
Absolutely brilliant performance. Violinist is mind blowing.
Wickham outstanding in the second half. Totally outstanding. Not sure these artists are as connected as the public think they are, but that fiddle is BRILLIANT. And Irish :)
takes me back to late 80s, OC MD, hanging with the Irish on work holiday introducing me to the Waterboys
mike and steve just let us see inside brigadoon for 8 minutes, thank you
You guys are incredible. I am so proud of you, Bro. Paul. I could not be any prouder of any of my former students. God Bless you!!
beautiful
😮 so cool
Thank You!!! Soul and Heart remmebering Prince!!!
The incredible David Hood on bass.
Just beyond incredible ..

OMG just watched a movie with you singing the last song, googled you anw and oh wow what have I been missing!!!!
OK, OK, ,OK, YEP I felt this one, they did a excellent job and not to many remakes of Prince music make me feel it, but i felt this one.
Unreal performance
Used to sing this to get the crowd going when I hosted karaoke nights at various bars around northeast Tennessee. That electric fiddle is mind blowing. Mother Station kicked ass, Bro Paul, and you get full credit.

The first time I heard “The whole of the moon” I knew these guy were Prince fans💜
Holy Sh-t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow❤
I was at this show!!
El mejor homenaje al gran Prince, de vuelta a su soberbio The Whole of the moon.
Grande uno, como otros.
Waterboys super e il violino di Wickham è da brividi ❤️❤️

Absolutely superb!
Steve Wickham!! Stupendous violinist/ fiddler!!! Heard he pretty recently left the group maybe to slow it down or do something else saw him at the Hardly strictly bluegrass festival in SF & The Waterboys were the best band there and as a group of musicians that festival in 2019 had some of the best fiddlers I've ever seen but Steve Wickham was the best. There was a female fiddler with hair dyed white who played with Robert Plant and she was excellent almost as good as Steve Wickham 🎉❤❤😊
Holy cow NICE ❤😂🎉😢😅😊
Brilliant! 💜
Just wonderful!!
Amazing
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!
A brilliant rendition!
And God said LET THERE BE LIGHT AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE SSSSOOOOUUUUUNNNNNDDDD❤
The waterboys, enough said❤
Damn it Prince, you f*cked up. You should still be here.
old... but nevers dies
Amazing
Amazing!!! Violín Gg Guitar 😍🦻🏻
Now 1st Ave. Originally it was a club, where Prince played called uncle Sam's. The corners in downtown Minneapolis. That club is why I have danced my whole life. And launched Princes career.
so amazing! xxxx

Was never a fan of Prince but love Waterboys
Rest in peace for your loved one
SW’s violin has kept that band going for years, saved them from MS’s ego. As witnessed here.
