Darius Rucker Rocks Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ in Syracuse [VIDEO]

The Darius Rucker show in Syracuse was the first time I've ever stayed for a show encore.  I usually leave early to beat the traffic.  Even at a Keith Urban concert, believe it or not.  But Darius often sings Prince's 'Purple Rain,' and I didn't want to miss it.  Good thing I stuck around.  It was the final song on of the night and worth the wait.  That man sings from his soul and makes me feel it in mine.  Check out the video of his version of 'Purple Rain' in Syracuse Saturday.
