The violin instead of lead guitar is pure musical genius. Never knew a violin could sound better than an electric guitar. Absolutely smashed it. 👏

STEVE WICKHAM

often said, but this time it's true: the most underrated band ever!

That fiddler is a master.

Purple Rain is a timeless and immortal anthem. You have to have courage to cover this magnum opus. For these geniuses I have been a follower of The Waterboys for more than 30 years.

Yes great talent but even greater betrayal. Vax disguised as a bioweapon and no pushbike. Artists or con artists. Waterboys decide.

Everything Mike Scott touches turns to gold.

Absolutely brilliant performance. Violinist is mind blowing.

I'm sure Prince would have loved this.. .

The greatest cover! That fiddle gives Prince's guitar playing a run for his money.

The keyboard player is having the most fun!

You can tell how great a band is by how well they can do a cover of someone’s song.

Thank you Prince!❤ Thank you Waterboys!

Prince proud of genocide. Don't think so.

incredible version...hard to do justice to such a song, but The Waterboys DID it! An amazing version. Prince must be smiling and nodding his head in approval ! :)

Another level... Waterboys Great, Great Band

I mean… wow Never knew the waterboys covered this

Mike & The Waterboys did a version 40 years ago, back when Prince was the biggest artist in the world. On 'The Live Adventures Of The Waterboys'. This is still so great!

Prince, thank you 🙏🏿 and Waterboys, thank you too. How moving was that. I cried when I heard the violin solo. Incredible special performance. Thank you 😂

HOLY S*&T....NEVER HEARD THIS ...BUT FIGURES THESE TWO MASTERS OF THE MUSIC UNIVERSE HAD RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER....LOVE THEM BOTH!! 🎉🥰

I try to steer away from bags that try to play this..... But the Waterboys NAILED IT!!!!!! The emotion is all there, well done!!!! 🥰🇺🇲❤️🇨🇮☘️

one of the best covers all time...chills! been listening to ya's for 35 years ...cheers from 🇨🇦

This is a sincere and passionate performance of respect, sorrow ( Soulful Irish lament element), joy and gratitude that Prince would have understood and loved.

Wickham outstanding in the second half. Totally outstanding. Not sure these artists are as connected as the public think they are, but that fiddle is BRILLIANT. And Irish :)

Magnificent!

Magnifique, grandissime version ❤️ merci 🙏 et j'en connais vraiment beaucoup. De la part d'un inconditionnel du Purple Génius 💜.

Used to sing this to get the crowd going when I hosted karaoke nights at various bars around northeast Tennessee. That electric fiddle is mind blowing. Mother Station kicked ass, Bro Paul, and you get full credit.

I was there and it was amazing!!

Steve Wickham!! Stupendous violinist/ fiddler!!! Heard he pretty recently left the group maybe to slow it down or do something else saw him at the Hardly strictly bluegrass festival in SF & The Waterboys were the best band there and as a group of musicians that festival in 2019 had some of the best fiddlers I've ever seen but Steve Wickham was the best. There was a female fiddler with hair dyed white who played with Robert Plant and she was excellent almost as good as Steve Wickham 🎉❤❤😊

Holy Sh-t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tears and goosebumps all over.

Damn it Prince, you f*cked up. You should still be here.

Wow❤

Amazing

Now 1st Ave. Originally it was a club, where Prince played called uncle Sam's. The corners in downtown Minneapolis. That club is why I have danced my whole life. And launched Princes career.

Rest in peace, Karl.
