You're right, you made me see the Bangla Desh version is awesome, less is more, raw is better, all of that. The Prince version was impressive at the time (specially him coming out of nowhere) but it serves more as a showcase for his guitar playing than a service to the song. Recently I've found this Frampton/Clapton version of the song that I feel it's the non plus ultra in guitar pyrotechnics, and it's more bluessy too. Frampton can play, huh.

So glad, you are back!
