    When I saw he'd covered I thought it was a brave decision mate but I think he's done a decent job of it, plus that's the guitarist I told you about :)

    Heard he'd opened with this, first time i've seen it. Surprisingly good, remarkably understated... nice. Love the lighting too.

    Even Nils managed to keep half a lid on it. He knows better than to take on Prince with a guitar though... :D

    I'd have to argue that Nils has forgot more about guitar than Prince even knew. No disrespect to Princes playing there, but I love Nils's playing, his solo on Valentine gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

    It doesn't come across due to the lighting but they were all wearing purple scarfs :)....I honestly didn't think Bruce's voice would be suitable but I think he did it justice. I'm guessing Nils would have loved to let rip with that solo but I'm guessing Bruce wisely reined him in a bit, I would have loved to have seen a duet between him and prince tho Paul :-D

    I love Nils guitar playing but I'd hate to call it if I'm honest, both brilliant in their own way
