Sure, Super Bowl XLI in Miami is remembered by Colts fans, when their team defeated the Bears by the score of 29 – 17 but for the rest of the world, that night lives on for something else.

Already many things to many people: household name, superstar, musician, frontman, singer, band leader, guitarist, songwriter, svengali, sex god, icon, philanthropist, maverick, workaholic; Prince was all these things and more. But on the night of February 4, 2007, he ascended...

Musically speaking, I don't quite understand Bad Bunny. His voice seems very mediocre to me, even for rap. He also sings with pursed lips... weird. But I really loved the show (needed).
It represented everything the US absolutely needs right now: love, inclusion and unity, instead of division and bite-sized, consumerist, shallow hatred.
In my opinion, Prince's show in 2007 was good, but not really outstanding? It was a memorable event, especially because it was raining, and the covers in the medley (the fantastic “Best Of You”).
But we only heard Prince's shredding guitar; the band was barely audible. Not a show, but real music. And the marching big band during Purple Rain still gives me goosebumps.
So yes, pretty impressive after all.

The thing is, we still haven't heard Prince's Super Bowl show in good quality. The video we have has attrocious sound. That show is in dire need of a good mix and a proper release.

Personally, I don't hear anything in Bad Bunny's songs, much like Drakes, but hey ho, I'm old. I did quite like the vibe of Bad Bunny's performance but that's about it.

There's a montage of the past 35 years of Halftime shows on X or Threads, and it is easy to believe you can see that based on what went before him, Prince really studied on what made a halftime show work and curated his setlist and stage setting with The Twinz, the marching band and his band and his focus on guitar playing accordingly.

Some combination of the marching band and the weather, clearly impact the sound - quite how much we may never know - unless the back up recording gets released for Record Store day or leaked. Though the back up recording / studio version of 'All Along The Watchtower / Best of You' played out on the Howard Stern show does perhaps provide an insight. Just a shame, they jibber-jabber all over it!
