This past Saturday night at The Myth in his hometown of Minneapolis, the artist currently known as Prince unveiled his cover of Pearl Jam’s 1992 hit Even Flow. Backed by his incredibly talented band 3rdEyeGirl, The Purple One offered up a guitar-driven instrumental version of Even Flow as part of his encore in both the early and late shows.
The fine folks at Dr. Funkenberry have posted a snippet of Prince and 3rdEyeGirl covering Even Flow during a rehearsal that took place before the shows at The Myth. We get to hear The Purple One and guitarist Donna Grantis go to town on the Pearl Jam tune. Take a listen…
