He played Charlotte a few years back and was amazing. His music ability was jawdropping. I'm really surprised he's rarely mentioned among modern guitar heroes. If there was a down side, it's that he's got so many hits and great songs, he plays a lot of them in medley form. I guess one or two verses and chorus is better than nothing. That being said, he still did play just about the entire Purple Rain album including a full-length stellar version of The Beautiful Ones.

Got to see him a year or so ago in a good venue - our arts centre
theatre, it was really good except for the standing up for three hours
killing my back. He was waaayyy more crowd friendly than I imagined -
thought the media shy persona thing might extend to the stage. Had a
great bandleader thing going, talked lots to people in the audience, did
a duet of a james taylor song with a girl from the crowd, had people
onstage dancing, great lights and staging, did a bunch of hits (after
teasing with the 'I don't do that stuff anymore' speech). His band
ended up at a jam night after the show playing blues with the local
guitar slingers. Classy bunch.
