      Princes solo on this tune nobody can talk bad about, but as soon as it was done I thought, now who else could do a rendition of this song and do it justice after that, immediately I went to Phish, because I know how Trey can rip a guitar solo on a good day….. and Phish’s rendition of this tune rips as well!….

    Pretty amusing thread.

And most likely the ones that aren't spot on were his way of honoring Clapton's goofy original solo.

I know they are beloved like few other bands are today. A few years ago we were driving out of Florida when I think Phish agreed to hold over at Zephyrhills for a couple of extra nights. I-75 was jammed for miles with people trying to get to the extra shows.
