MIAMI (AP) -
8:34 p.m. EST: Never has there been a more appropriate song for
a Super Bowl halftime show. Prince brought the water-logged crowd
at Dolphin Stadium to its feet with a rousing rendition of "Purple
Rain" - performed in a driving rainstorm.

While these Super Bowl extravaganzas have often drawn harsh
reviews - Janet Jackson's costume malfunction, that dismal "Blue
Brothers Bash" in New Orleans a few years ago - I've got to give
the Purpled One a thumbs-up for his performance.

Performing on a stage designed like that symbol he once used in
lieu of his name, Prince started out with "Let's Go Crazy,"
morphed into an aborted version of "Baby I'm A Star," ripped off
a few verses of "Proud Mary," performed the Foo Fighters' hit
"Best of You," then finished off the show with a song that
everyone in the crowd could relate to on this messy night.

Accompanied by the Florida A&M band (who took part at Prince's
invitation), the fans roared in unison, with flashlights sprinkled
throughout the darkened stadium, "I only want 2 see u in the
purple rain!"

While I'm no expert on Super Bowl halftime shows, that might be
the best once I've seen since U2's emotional 2002 show in the wake
of 9-11.

I wished that it would of stopped raining by half time, but Prince still put on a good half-time show. That purple guitar is straight gangsta...

Amazin show, with the penis silhouette and all, cant belive people are trippin over that. But yeah, amazing.

^^ Agreed haha but overall it was an amazing performace. The sound could have been better so I'm not sure if it was because of the crappy sound but it sounded to me like the guitar & his finger playing wasn't Nsync...meaning IMO Was he really playing live or was that whole thing all pre recorded audio?

Great show. Fucking awsome guitar but crappy sound!

 

[Dogmatic187]

It was fantastic, best halftime show in a LONG time.

 

[S O F I]

What the fuck is that shit on his head?

 

[Ms L]

^^ It was a really terrible looking hair warp of some kind.

The guitar playing also made me wonder if this was pre-recorded.
