Watch David Gilmour wring every ounce of emotion from the guitar solo on Prince's Purple Rain – with Tom Jones
Pink Floyd's David Gilmour gives a TV audience a solo of epic Floydian scale
George Harrison is my favorite Beetle, hands down. Ringo Starr comes next. The other two can fight over 3rd.
Anyway, there's a lot I love about this. I didn't end up a huge Prince fan (there's a story there, because I was, but then it got learnt outta me, boy), but I have never seen him shred like this.
And it's not virtuosic guitar playing either. It's just fucking great music. And he literally drops the mic and walks off the stage at the end.
Today marks eight years since my Grandfather passed away. He shares that exact same date with the passing of #Prince in 2016, so that will always tie the two together.
Here he was on his 65th birthday.
Sometimes I wish
That life
Was never ending
But all good things they say
Never last
But all good things they say
Never last
Love
It isn’t love
Until it’s past
All right, y’all know the drill by now. Continuing our (kinda sorta) Prince-themed 6 Degrees series, connecting albums from The List and carrying on from where we left off last time. This is essentially a guest post as avi_miller provided the connections for the last four albums in this set, so a big thank you to them!

Some fun connections between this group of artists and The Purple One. Let me know in the comments if you know of any others!
In 1990, Prince invited Kate Bush to meet him after a show, and they decided to collaborate. The two couldn’t again get in the same room, so “Why Should I Love You?” (released on Bush’s 1993 album The Red Shoes) took 2 years to create (or, rather, construct, then deconstruct, then reconstruct…) by sending tapes back and forth.
Kate Bush does backing vocals on Prince’s “My Computer“, from his 1996 album, Emancipation.
The soundtrack to the 1995 film Showgirls features two Prince songs (The Gold Experience‘s “319” and Crystal Ball‘s “Ripopgodezippa”) as well as David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans”, which was co-written by Brian Eno.
Both Prince’s Purple Rain and Brian Eno’s Another Green World have inspired custom perfumes made by dublab that are supposedly meant to, umm, smell like them (like the albums, not the musicians).
Both Prince and Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist and leader of the band Rainbow, are known as two of the greatest guitarists of all time, and both loved to break out lengthy but spectacular solos. On Rolling Stone‘s 2023 list of the top 250 guitarists, Prince ranked at number 14, and Blackmore at 75. (There are actually a ton of artists from The List on Rolling Stone‘s list, because we have great taste.)
Prince and Ronnie James Dio (the singer for Rainbow at the time of the Rainbow Rising album) both packed an enormous amount of talent in a smaller frame – the two were nearly the same height (with or without their fabulous high heels). (And speaking of fashion, some of Dio’s stage outfits wouldn’t look too out of place on Prince, and vice versa.)
Tune in on Friday for Part 6, to see how we get from Rainbow to Madhouse!

"Annie Lennox, Wendy and Lisa Working Together on Trio Project."
I find this a genuinely exciting prospect, given the Art Pop tendencies of all participants, and their eclectic tastes, the worst thing this could be is just 'pretty good', but definitely could be something far more ambitious and resonant given the talent pool.
