  • I'm stunned you haven't had more views on the first half of this set and this one. THANK YOU ~ Forgot this was truly a real SuperBowl half time show that ROCKED.

  • God had a message, it was to let you know that Prince is a gift to humanity, that message was rain.

  • Those of us who already knew he was a MegaTalent, and never to be copied, weren't impressed at all. The whole show was exactly what we expected. Dude has "talent 2 the tenth power"! There is only one way that this halftime show can ever be topped and that is to bring him back fro 2013. (Sadly I don't think he'll do it as being a corporate shill is not his bag!)

  • purple rain gave me happy tears :') breath taking

  • A performer. Period.

  • SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mrrv214 Truth. That's all....

  • Still gives me chills. Best ever.

  • @EastEZ82 Period. Easily.

  • best halftime show ever 

  • @burnape1 If a comedian makes you laugh outloud, he or she has succeeded. If a piece of art makes you want to own it, it's worked. and when a song gives you fucking goosebumps and/or brings a tear to your eyes, well...

  • You know what... it's a shame less than 60K views represents this 'partial' clip of the half time show, that was absolutly the best half-time show so far.. Prince you are Music Royalty!

  • Damn.

  • this was simply the best super bowl performance EVER

  • Am I a pussy if i was close to tears during Purple Rain!

  • @b5wifeygurl No. You're a pussy if you WEREN'T close to tears during Purple Rain....

  • This is the standard that all artists should be held to. Prince is possibly the greatest musical talent of the 20th Century. He is a true genius and unlike so many of today's artists, he is the real deal. Just like the greats of yore, such as Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Journey, The Commodores and so many other truly great acts. In an era when everything is sensationalized, he shows that the cream always rises to the top. GREATEST Super Bowl performance of all-time and it's not even close!!!

  • @csrmontecristo1 If only everyone thought like you the world would't be such a harsh place in which to live. Spread the love. There in no one like Prince (Made in the USA).

  • Game. Blouses

  • Could have done without some of the go go dancers and the tron marching band, but that was a badass performance.

  • a god amongst men

  • The best halftime show I've ever seen.Prince is a trip on that guitar!Now if my Chicago Bears could have won I would have been super happy but the better team won that day.Prince you fuckin Rock and thank you for making my teams halftime show one the best!Go Bears

  • MVP!

  • best halftime show ever..pure talent..the rain(not the song :))) added drama and spice to his performance..

  • Sucks he played other people's songs. The best performance was when he did his own song, Purple Rain.

  • UGHHH THE BEST HALFTIME EVER ...AND YES PLAY THAT GUITAR PRINCE!!!

    SHOUTOUT TO FAMU MARCHING BAND AS WELL

  • K... I -love- Dave Grohl... But Prince's version of 'Best of You' was AMAZING. Foo Fighters should show Prince respect and never perform that song again, much like NIN did with 'Hurt' when Johnny Cash covered it.

  • best ever

  • thumbs up if you think Prince also takes this down from youtube

  • Easily the best half time show I've ever seen. Madonna was pretty good compared to others. But I think this will be the best super bowl half time show I will see in my lifetime.

  • 3:33 -- can I PLEASE have the dorag you threw off, oh purple one!

  • BEYOND AWESOME. I don't even know where to begin. No matter how stressful life can be, watching this video makes the world right again.

    Anybody that doesn't appreciate Prince's talent doesn't know music. Yes, he is over the top, he is Prince. He has wrote songs for many singers, which means that you have heard him regardless.

  • wow 

  • THE GREATEST HALF TIME SHOW EVER! EVER!!!!

  • I watch this again [after seeing it live] and after watching Madonna's performance replay...this makes her show look like a bad joke, a slap in the face to the audience. The price of admission for this Superbowl was worth it just for this performance alone.

  • One of the most dramatic 15+ minutes of a live performance ever seen on Television...

    Fantastic... this is the real deal, take no substitutes.

  • At 6:01, there are purple raindrops on the camera. During Purple Rain. Fucking EPIC!!

  • he sings he plays he did not lip sync

  • The man, the legend. Respect him...now.

  • Who would of thought P would put on the cleanest,some what family friendly half time show of the 21st century?

  • 2 people are Madonna fans.

  • He even made the rain stop; This is a half time show. Keeping it simple; no fancy lights and no Madonna.

  • Amazing!!  Bring him back!!

  • omg <3 he can really make that guitar sing <3 I LOVE PRINCE <3

  • As a Colts fan, I couldn't have asked for a better halftime show for the Super Bowl we won. It was incredible!

  • Purple Rain IN the rain was EPIC !!! Sorry everyone but THIS was the BEST SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW EVER!! This is the standard to be topped. I remember watching this in absolute awe of Prince's talent. He is a national treasure!

  • @jjofthebay Amen. The Who, The Rolling Stones and U2 were pretty fucking good but Prince was epic....

  • @jjofthebay I agree with you 100% ! They have never had a super bowl show as this! His guitar playing kicked major A

  • then he went home and cooked us some pancakes!

  • @TheMrNightrain LOL!!! Pancakes...you can't make ish like that up.

  • Purple Rain sung in the rain = MAGIC

  • I love how Prince and The Foo Fighters have covered each others song.

  • What does the logo mean?

  • @HardKore5250 that's Prince's Love Symbol

  • Purple Rain Guitar solo as song is winden down is some deep emotional guitar playing. If you dont get chills listening to it you are not human!!!!

  • the best halftime show EVER!!! bar none..real live performance...live instruments, live singing, arranging... people don't realize how extremely difficult to pull this off during raining day in front of billions of audiences watching...

  • Madonna is a spectacle and is smart to bring in different talent. IT WAS A GOOD PEFORMANCE. However, on his own Prince carries a Super Bowl performance on talent as a musician singer arranger. Would see this guy anytime anywhere over and over again. THE BEST EVER.

  • @Sh0wT3k91 HELLO!!! The more i get, the more i want! Seeing Prince live is an experience and should be on EVERYONE'S bucket list!

  • JUST AWESOME THE BEST TO DATE!!

  • I WAS A TEENAGER DURING THE 80'S AND PRINCE, MICHAEL AND MADONNA WAS AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, THEY ARE ALL ICONS, BUT YES THIS PRINCE PERFORMANCE IN THE RAIN WAS THE BOMB AND THE BEST COMPARED TO MADONNA'S TONIGHT....I THINK SHE IS TRYING TO HARD TO STAY RELEVANT WITH THE YOUNGER GENERATION BY USING TODAYS STARS TO ASSIST HER...SHE DON'T NEED THAT, JUST GET YOUR FUNK BACK MADONNA AND BE YOU...STILL GOT LOVE 4 YA!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • way better than madonna

  • that was somthing else, Purple at the end there! wow

  • Live. No lip syncing. In the rain. I just don't think this can be beat. The guy is kind of an ass (in my opinion), but I cannot deny the talent. Goosebumps.

  • I was there that night. Prince had that whole stadium singing to Purple Rain in the rain. It was awesome. Best half-time yet.

  • Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince and Madonna's performances were in my opinion the best Halftime Performances of all time.

  • @7mandoblu I couldn't agree more

  • He was good and he's Prince, but not the best half time show. One of the best ...but not the best

  • Best showman, greatest talent, best guitarist, highest dedication EVER for a Super Bowl Halftime. Never been better, before or since.

  • Now THAT is setting fire to the rain.

  • Uh- yeah- rumblings of who Madonna has to beat to have the best Superbowl...I would say that there is NO way she can beat this. Not even 20 years ago. This is pure awesomeness. (And I am not even that big of a fan) The theatrics combined with his pure talent are enough to knock you out. Just wow.

  • @divabaci Could not agree with you more.

  • Just the fact it was raining so hard during Purple Rain...couple that with his outstanding performance and showmanship...one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

  • Those dancers must of been having a good time, whipping their hair in the rain that is.. :)

  • Holy cow is he talented.

  • FAMU Marching Band@ 5:30

  • What made this show work was was that it had all the things that people wanted, It started out fast and exiting, it has cover so people who don't know prince that well can enjoy it, Prince only played his established songs to please his causal fans with out alienating his hardcore audience and ends with a triumphant power balled with the whole stadium singing and prince shredding like know other, Truly a show for everyone.

  • @SammPhoenix And he did it in the rain too...

  • It would"ve been better if Prince would of played "KISS" his best song.

  • Absolute a magical performance, BRAVO!!!

  • I love it--every year since 2007, whenever the SB halftime show lineup is announced, there's an uptick in Youtube searches for Prince. And with good reason...nobody has touched this since, not even Sir Paul McCartney...

  • I bet this would've had 709873409877404709473072047304­7320745 damn views if people knew this was on youtube...

  • Has the love symbol tatted on my arm. LOVE THIS. Watch it every night b4 I sleep. Can anyone tell me how to dl it to my iPhone?

  • @nativ3prplrain See if it's available on itunes...

  • go in their shower with your guitar and try to play while the water is blasting you and dont miss one note! thats basically what he was dealing with, lol

  • @lucky44124 lol right and he didn't bust his ass either while doing it...

  • This IS the benchmark. Just try to beat it...

  • Best Super Bowl performance by far. I mean come on what are the odds of something cool and ironic happening when you got purple rain and real rain!!!! Purple Rain in the Rain man what a show!

  • If the sound quality was good, this would be awesome.. as it is, it kinda annoys me that the mix is a bit shit. Also, Prince rules, but he's done many way better performances.

  • @stonerh compressed time kept the show average but better than most

  • @troytoy63 Meh, it's still awesome obviously.. it's Prince, but I've seen him do short sets on awards shows and stuff which I still prefer to this, but it's still cool. I guess the rain kinda dulled it a bit as well

  • One word GENIUS!!!

  • Can we just make it mandatory Prince does every Super Bowl Halftime? Madonna is just NOT gonna cut it...

  • @heathharperchannel

    I was just thinking the same! By far, the best halftime show I've ever seen. Will never forget this one.

  • @heathharperchannel Madonnas performance was really not so great! Prince is still the best one out there but then again he's the real deal like Whitney.

  • Dave Grohl had no idea he was going to play that song. He was just watching it, and all of a sudden, Prince launches into "Best of You." What a fucking badass.

  • what a pimp!!

  • @Fishinntree HAHAHA... that´s right

  • I didnt know the lyrics to Purple Rain but by the end of the song I was singing along. By far one of THE best Super Bowl halftime shows

  • PREEEENCE! YOU BAAAAAAAD!!!!

  • yea i dont really like prince either but this was that was the best halftime show i ever seen.. playin out in the rain like that... that was the shit

  • Outstanding

  • I would pay good money to see Prince live...bet it would be worth every penny.

  • @Crowster12781 It is always worth it to see him live!! Have had four opportunities to see him.. went every time. First was the Purple Rain Tour.. AMAZING. You should go if you can :)

  • I'm really not a big fan of Prince, but this is easily the best Superbowl halftime show ever. I remember when he got to Purple Rain and I was just like "woah"... he really is a fantastic musician and great showman.

  • @IamAwesomelyRadical I have been for some 30 years now. I get why people don't like him or think he is strange but all I say is go to or watch one of his shows. He is as talented as anyone over the past 30 some odds years.

  • FAKING THE GUITAR???? WATCH HIS PRESS CONFERENCE AND TELL ME HE'S FAKING.. GREATEST EVER!!!!

  • Anyone knows which Guitar this is???

  • @Al2006essandro Lake Placid blue blue Stratocaster, and he's not using any stomp boxes or petals. Eye know. Eye was there, anything else u'd like 2 know?

  • @Al2006essandro the symbol guitar was made by a german luthier then copied by his techs. The 1st is his Lake Placid blue blue Stratocaster. and, he's not using any stomp boxes or petals, so the sound (dirty) is all him....................

  • a guitarist legend..you hav to see him live performing.

  • BEST SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCE EVER.

  • He's is a fucking badass!

  • as a guitarist, I see some of the subtleties that suggest to me he wasn't faking.

  • You can tell its real at the end when he throws the guitar in the air.

  • If he was air guitaring...wouldn't the guitar not be there...I think you mean faking...However if he was then certain subtleties wouldn't of happened...like when he bumps his guitar and distortion shows up. Leave your jealousy out of this and enjoy the tune man.

  • Wow! and real purple rain was coming down on him on his performance! ; p

  • u can talk shit all you want but if u hated prince so much u wouldn't be watching this video

  • AWESOME!!!! Who else but Prince can have thousands of fans singing in unison he is awesome legendary and i sooo wish he would come to Atlanta ga

  • Amazing performance..i was worried at the same time(seeing this live)that with the rain,things can go haywire..that added up to the adrenalin rush especially when Prince did his signature song Purple Rain and you can see the captive and drenched audience mesmerized(viewers included)singing along some part of the song..this act is hard to follow..best super bowl half time show in our lifetime...

  • shameless showtime P, love the rain on the lens

  • the best halftime show ever!

  • One of the best, if not THE best Super Bowl Halftime Show ever!!

  • No doubt the best superbowl halftime show to date.

  • EPIC

  • "The Best of you" Great cover!!

  • @mjw9363 Hater!!! Apparently, u know NOTHING about Prince! If u did, u wouldn't even suggest such a ridiculous thing. Do ur homework or SHUT UP ALREADY!....DAMN!!!

  • @MsPrincefan4life nice! I doubt if mjw9363 knows about the quake. ;^)

  • @MsPrincefan4life I agree.. Prince considers lip synching and fake performances SHAMEFUL.. That is so not his style.. The man is amazing.. such a gift to us!
