Watch Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band pay tribute to Prince with “Purple Rain”
Friday night at their show at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened their show with a tribute to Prince, performing “Purple Rain.”
The Boss wasn’t the only musician to cover Prince since his passing last Thursday. At the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, LCD Soundsystem covered “Controversy,” Ellie Goulding covered “When Doves Cry,” Sufjan Stevens teamed up with Gallant for a cover of “Purple Rain,” and Mavis Staples performed an a cappella version of the song.
Below, watch several of the performances – including Springsteen’s version with Nils Lofgren playing the now classic scorching guitar solo.
