I really enjoyed that movie, and still do. It definitely changed my view on Prince,and realized what a genius he really is.I was taken back at how versatile of a guitar player he is. If you want to see something real cool, do a utube search on Prince doing While My Guitar Gently Weeps.It was from a George Harrison tribute show. Also if you happen to watch this, notice Georges son on acoustic guitar. You would swear it was George. Thanks for bringing up this subject and a trip down memory lane. Peace RJ

robert i think that was a rock n roll hall of fame intro show. i believer robbie robertson from the band was on there. prince stole the stage, no question. a lot of us classic rock fans just do not want to give this guy justice but he is one of the most brilliant musicians of our time. his ability to switch from a jimmy nolen(james browns guitarist) to hendrix is amazing. obviously a prodigy. he absolutely commands his instrument. as far as harrisons son. i had to do a double take. uncanny.
