Hier zur Erinnerung Eric's Original-Worte damals nach dem Tod von Prince:
Eric Clapton
"I'm so sad about the death of Prince, he was a true genius, and a huge inspiration for me, in a very real way....
In the eighties, I was out on the road in a massive downward spiral with drink and drugs,
I saw Purple Rain in a cinema in Canada, I had no idea who he was, it was like a bolt of lightning!...
In the middle of my depression, and the dreadful state of the music culture at that time it gave me hope, he was like a light in the darkness...
I went back to my hotel, and surrounded by empty beer cans, wrote Holy Mother....
I can't believe he's gone...."

und auswendig unter der Dusche besoffen im dunkeln bei Schnee und Nebel selbst singen können.......... 
Sind doch alle überrascht und happy über die neue Setlist. Nur "Purple Rain" entfacht keine Begeisterungsstürme, aber wenn ich Erics Aussage von damals lese, dann passt wieder alles und der Song steht in ganz anderem Licht da.
