Clapton's original solo is fairly fiery and show-y. so i think Prince's solo isn't out of place in that regard.

his performance that night on that song does feel a little out of place b/c the acts who performed before him were so staid and somewhat boring and 'gentle'. they played like they were at George's wake. Prince played like he was at his own Hall of Fame induction ceremony doing the closing number. which he was.
