When I hit "play" I wasn't expecting a Cantonese commercial ...
.Fan of EC, and his wife's music, too, when she's playing straight up less poppy stuff.
Thanks for the deeper dive info on EC.
Whenever I see "Whisper To A Scream" I think of Icicle Works...

Love this music video. I've got Korn and Edwyn Collins on keeping me company while I build a colorsound overdriver

There's some big names and killer players on that stage who all just disappear once he starts that solo. Mind blowing stuff. George Harrisons sons face just says it all.

I didn't really care about Prince until I was in college in the early 2000's. I was doing stagehand work at the time and I worked one of his shows. Seeing him live, the show he put on, the incredible musicianship (jumping from bass to piano to guitar to whatever the hell else he wants), and his *amazing* voice sold me almost instantly. The dude was an amazing musician.

Yesterday...
Lots of dialogue clips mixed in.
Right now:
No dialogue, just...
Lovely upright swingin' harder than the Friendly Neighborhood Web-Spinner himself!

Back in The Day, I wasn't interested in Prince at all, even though a friend was mad about 1999.
Then he [Edit, Prince, not my friend] changed his name and I thought "right, what a pretentious..."
Still, I liked "Kiss" and a couple other songs. Then I found out the name change was to get out from under a bad contract. Batman soundtrack and other things of his kept popping up on my radar and I'd seen him lay down some bad-assery on bass and guitar...
That solo sealed the deal... one of my most favourite solos ever. It builds well, has showmanship, is a part of the music instead of on top of it and then I found the story behind it... wow! Clapton clone was taking all the (note-for-note Clapton) solos at rehearsal, so Prince walked out, told the musical director to leave a spot at the end of the song for Prince to solo over... nobody knew what he was going to do, then BAM! IN YOUR FACE CLAPCLONE!
And the mystery of the guitar that never came down... he hire Penn & Teller for that bit?
What a total badass.

I just got home and had a chance to watch the video... holy wow.
He was invisible for 75% of the song and then all of the sudden he just steps in and makes it all his... and makes it look so effortless. Having the guy go in front of the stage to catch him falling back... just the confidence and power and authenticity of everything he does on stage is what won me over. What a loss. Seeing him and Tom Petty on that sage really hit me.
