Dhani Harrison and completely stole the show.
The Purple One was himself inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier that night, but his solo during the Harrison tribute might warrant its own induction.
A new edit of the performance by director
Joel Gallen, who produced the original broadcast, recently surfaced on YouTube. In it, Gallen gives us a closer look at Prince s mesmerizing solo and the sheer joy and astonishment it produced in the other musicians onstage. 17 years after this stunning performance by Prince, I finally had the chance to go in and re-edit it slightly since there were several shots that were bothering me, Gallen explained in the video description. I got rid of all the dissolves and made them all cuts, and added lots more close-ups of Prince during his solo. I think it s better now.
