Prince Superbowl.

As you know Prince did he halftime show. Prince usually doesn't have tons of lighting, lasers, pyrotechnics and such. But at The Superbowl he did. I wanna know was that Prince's idea or did The NFL or the sponsors have him do it?

I suspect Prince knew when he agreed to it that there would be all that stuff. It comes with the territory. And don't kid yourself, back in the day Prince was known for having over-the-top staging/lighting etc.

Lasers were used on the 1997/98 shows.
Pyrotechnics were used on the Diamonds & Pearls tour.

There are probably more, but these are the first that come to mind. Sure, other people used it before him, but that's not what we're arguing here.

Lasers on The Jam Of The Year Tour? I don't remeber that. He didn't even have that much regular lighting.
