Prince - "Creep" [Live At Cochella]

I remember reading about Prince performing a cover of Radiohead's first hit, but nothing can describe the satisfaction of actually hearing it. It's once again a testament to the brilliance of the artist - talented and humble (in the idea that he's playing such a powerful rendition of a song that's not his own), probably the two best traits to have go hand in hand. Although it would have been nice to hear him tackle the emotional climax of the original version's bridge, Prince's soulful interpretation of the lyrics (slightly modified to fit his own style), is nothing short of amazing.
