This one is 16 min long. Wendy Melvoin keeps the song going until Prince joins at around 3:13. Love her rhythm part.

I'm not sure we talked about it, but I do know this version. Love it! Don Was said Dave McMurray has a new album coming out soon, too.

That bit at the end where they project his silhouette onto that canvas floating and flickering in the background is pretty great production work.
