I liked it..... BUT

I wish he would NOT have finished with purple rain.

I was hoping for a more upbeat party song to finish off.


BUT>>>>> IT was VERY good

"Best of You" was a huge surprise. Crazy and Star were so predictable. Seen it a million times. But Purple Rain was awesome. I think the best part of the show was Best of You. For the suprise factor, and because he delivered it so well. He sung it beautifully, with so much passion and emotion, and he made that guitar howl like a mofo. It was beautiful.

He definitely rocked it!! His voice was on top, he looked great, the crowd obviously loved him(especially the crowd singing at the end of Purple rain), he didn't go anywhere and he proved that. Can't wait for a new album!! The fact that he pulled that off in the rain and totally gave it his all was awesome!!

GO PRINCE!!!!!

Peace!!!!

That was clearly rock and roll history.

Getting ANY emotional reaction during the half time of the superbowl is almost impossible. The hendrix stuff... blew the place away.

History man. While sitting in my living room.

wow.

He pretty much rocked it. The german commentators seemed to be pretty impressed.

There was something weird going on during let's go crazy where we can hear prince sing a few lines while he's not at the mike, then we see him sing a few things into the mike without actually hearing him.. then later on it seems his vocals are live again.. anyone noticed this?

Also, near the end, after he kicks the mic over, his guitar is reduced in volume.. and the ending of PR was a bit off in timing..

But despite these niggles i really loved the show biggrin

What is "weak" is your spelling.

I thought he did a great job. I agree with the rest of the folks who thought the foo fighters song was great. Sounded like a Prince song to me.

peace

I loved it. I didn't realize how protective of him I was though. I kept seeing the rain hit the stage and I couldn't stop thinking, Be careful Prince!

It was the sound that was messed up a bit sometimes allot of sound was cut and the cround was cut in for a sec it wrecked it a bit like the background got was sometimes distorted wish i was there live though... I want Prince to be seen more of a Guitar God I think he deserves it...

Any non-Prince song should have been a James Brown song. It was a great production. I enjoyed it.

In my opinion,

It was a defining moment for him.

He is one of a kind.

I hope he uses this stage on the tour! Great performance. Especially with the rain he had to deal with. For any haters.....or Timbaland if you were watching...that performance sums it up. He is a legend. UNTOUCHABLE!
