Hearing My Morning Jacket’s tribute to Prince at jazzfest in New Orleans this week reminded me of this Hall of Fame performance.
For George Harrison’s posthumous induction in 2004, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Dhani Harrison and Prince performed “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. Marc Mann from Lynne’s band plays Clapton’s solo from the original album version, and Prince, having stood in the background until around 3:30 in the song, explodes in the 2nd half of the song.
