I know everybody is excited about Prince being the 2007 Super Bowl 41 halftime musical guest, and everybody has specualted about which songs he's going to play. I think the better question is who will be his band to back him. I'm hoping that his band whill be his regular band CC Dunham: drums, Josh Dunham: bass, Renato Neto: keys, Maceo, Mike and Greg as his horn section. The songs won't be vegasy but will augment the songs he chooses to sing and play. What are everybody else's thoughts?

for Renato

Sheila E. would be a nice addition.

don't know who'll be part of the halftime band, but I think the show will be something along the lines of what we saw at the Vanguard Jam. The old gang will be there - Sheila E., Morris Day, etc.

Just as long as there's no Larry or Chaka, I'll be fine. It'd be nice to have Wendy and Lisa out there, that's for sure.

EASY... THE REVOLUTION....

I'm wondering who'll be in the band....

but WOW! wouldn't it be THE place for the Revolution to reunite? I know I'm dreaming here but man that would be the shit!
other than that though....I'll pass on Renato...good and all but..nah, not for the superbowl.
how bout John Blackwell or Micheal B on drums...cause they are the heavy hitters and I personnally think this should be a rock oriented show.
hmmm...

Renato
Sheila E.
Sonny T
John B.
Lisa


The usual ones!

The Twinz
Ronda -bass
Michael B -drums
Sheila E -drums
Wendy
Lisa
Prince

I think Wendy & Lisa would be the best surprise to the new 3121 Band. He needs a guitarist and a great singer.

I want the Revolution, big hair and the word "fuck".

I think we'll see his current band, with maybe some surprise guests like W&L or Sheila E.

I mean absolutely no disrespect to his current band but...do you think they are "good" enough for this gig? I actually feel terrible about saying good enough cause I can't play a note but....they just seem (from reading reviews only) not quite there yet.
I dunno though...

one cool think about prince having so many bands over the years is there's lots of options for him.
