Years ago he closed the Grammys (I think) with Purple Rain and it's the best guitar work I've ever heard him do. And yes it was on that ridiculous one pickup white guitar - he was wailing beyond anything before or since. I was impressed and it takes a LOT to impress me when it comes to guitar playing.
