Super Bowl
Previously a reception area for parties, here you can watch Prince's amazing rain-drenched 2007 Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show from Miami. Rated one of the best halftime shows of all time and projected on three screens, I remember watching this performance live.
It had been pouring rain prior to and during the game, so the producer phoned Prince and told him I want you to know it's raining, and Prince said, “Yes, it's raining.” The producer asked, “Are you okay?” Prince replied, “Can you make it rain harder?” And play he did.
Beginning with Let's Go Crazy, Baby I'm a Star right into Proud Mary, and back to Baby I'm a Star; transitioning to All Along the Watchtower, and Best of You to the finale when Prince changed to his purple symbol guitar to play Purple Rain, the S stage now lit purple.
Prince begins to sing, I never meant to cause you any sorrow…I never meant to cause you any pain…, removes his soaking wet head scarf and tosses it aside, continuing to sing.
After the first chorus, Prince asks, “Can I play this guitar?”, as a white fabric screen unfurls upwards from the stage toward the sky, casting a stadium sized silhouette of Prince holding his purple symbol guitar purposefully in place, the iconic guitar riff begins.
He mesmerizes us all by continuing to sing and play in a downpour, engaging the audience to sing along, in one of the best versions of Purple Rain ever, and ends with a finger to the sky and Prince tossing his guitar in the air.
