You mentioned that he had lower energy - it was in fact raining and he was wearing high heels. When he closes that performance with Purple Rain - with the stage lit up all in purple neon, purple guitar and it was actually raining - I swear that was a bona fide Rock God Moment. Goosebumps - every time.
Yeah, it was 30 years after the first performance you watched. You need a Gen Xer sitting with you to explain all the Princeliness that is Prince. 💜 Your homework is to sit and listen to the Purple Rain soundtrack from beginning to end.
Nothing will ever come close. I remember them saying he could have been electrocuted because of the rain and the electric guitars. A true professional performance and performer. 💕💜
I’m a Minnesotan and he was our hero. He did everything he could to promote our state and the city if Minneapolis especially the performers from here. The city of Minneapolis lit up purple everywhere and everyone was crying everywhere you looked.
To be more accurate: We Will Rock You by Queen Proud Mary is by Credence Clearwater Revival All Along The Watchtower is by Dylan Other little stars lyp-synch his own music, Prince played LIVE the history of music.
The story goes that they notified Prince that it would be raining, and asked if they could do anything to help. Prince asked, Can you make it rain harder?
This is the Super Bowl, the NFL Championship game. This is a HUGE deal. Prince's performance, in the pouring rain, is one of the best halftime shows in the 67 year history of the Super Bowl (and we've had some great ones). I saw him twice in concert. He was absolutely phenomenal.
This is Prince at the Superbowl halftime shows..... His regular shows......had the same energy...if not more. I went to see him back in '98.....then when I saw him in Las Vegas.......he played all night!!!! We didn't leave the venue until the next morning....as the sun rose. Prince....One of the ABSOLUTE GREATEST ARTISTS.......EVER!!!
Okay what you called the drum line is actually the marching 100 from Florida A&M University which is right down the street from where I live. They got the honor to perform with him. Yes it was actually raining that whole show. If you watch behind the scenes of this they asked him if he wanted to cancel and he was like hell no he was going to perform even if it was in the pouring rain. One of the best halftime performances ever 💜💜💜
Prince 💜💜💜💜💜 musical genius and such a showmaster. This show was the best half time show ever! Some have said it was a football game that visited a Prince concert
Gen X here! I just wanted you to know that it made my day watching you watch Prince! I saw the last video you did of him and my first reaction was, he needs to see the halftime show! My face hurts from smiling. Thank you. 💜
Your smile as ‘Purple Rain’ started was worth in gold the whole reaction. For those of us who have ‘some age’ on our backs, to see the younger generation enjoying music made with heart and soul and not by ghost producers pushing buttons and repeating the same songs over and over again with in a slightly different key, that's something I appreciate: not all is lost in a world of fast music, hordes of the same rappers and armies of cloned singers with the same hits. Thanks man! Prince played LIVE thou' it was raining hard. And he played not only his own music but a short history of music. He started the show with 'We Will Rock You' by Queen, he played two more songs identified by at least a couple of greatest artists. 'All Along The Watch Tower' wrote by Bob Dylan, made even more famous by Jimmi Hendrix. But he mixed this one with 'The Best' by Foo Fighters. He played his hit (from 'Purple Rain') 'Baby I'm A Star' and chained it to 'Proud Mary', wrote by Credence Clearwater Revival' (wich Tina Turner made her own). Peace!
This has been referred to as the night they played football at a prince concert. Reminder, prince and the twins were in heels and the instruments were hot. Ya gotta wonder how slick that stage was.
Congratulations on witnessing THE best halftime show ever! Pouring rain and Prince nailed every moment of this performance. He was perfection and truly a once in a lifetime icon. #price4ever 💜💜💜
Prince's approach to live shows varied from the early years to his mid-career and late career stages. He eventually needed double hip replacement surgery. So, rain or not, there was no jumping off the piano or multiple splits by 2007. Having said that, late-stage Prince had some of his best tours ever, IMO... 💜
Sadly that’s what killed him. The pain he was in from all of the abuse he put on his body in order to be the showman that he was he got addicted to pain killers.
And he did this all in the rain! Prince was wearing heels too, he always did! Super Bowl Half Times are bigger than the game and the artists are not paid to perform. It gives them so much free publicity and it is an honor to be selected as the artist to preform. They do give a budget to put the show on but the artists receives no pay. All Half Time Shows are amazing, you should react to some more of them. All the artists that have done Half Time shows put their best out there because they know they will be judged by previous Half Time shows, so they go all out! And that symbol on the stage was Prince's new name, Prince was his real name and his recording contract stated he could not make music under the name of Prince with out them taking a serious cut of his music revenue, so he changed his name to that symbol and was referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince". He also did a performance where he came out with "SLAVE" writen on his face as a protest to the recording companies.
At the time he did this halftime show he was significantly older in his 50's then he had been in the videos I've seen you react to and he had come from high energy performances to highly technical musical performances. He was a musical genius gone too soon. He could play every instrument and he had a few projects where sang every part and played every instrument on his album. This performance I could watch over and over again, he was at his best, fearless, he had it all together and he brought his A game for us all.
My late father - old fashioned white hillbilly that only listened to bluegrass and country music actually loved Prince and Michael's halftime performances. Said out of all the years he's watched football and superbowl - they were his favorites. Then he asked me how I liked seeing Prince live. Told him it was incredible and I'll never forget it. He was proud of some of the shows I went to.
The sickest part is the rain coming down during him playing "Purple Rain." The man was an absolute genius and even the gods wanted this show to be good.

Check out "greatest guitar solo ever" playing "while my guitar gently weeps" during a George Harrison tribute show. Prince in a red fedora is the finale..... No words can describe that solo!
Prince was and will be forever huge. Just so you know football half time shows are the best. But in my opinion Princes halftime will always be the best. It’s the one and only halftime I’ve ever seen. 💜💜💜💜💜 You do know he’s passed away. Right!
An example of pouring the maximum talent into the smallest space. He could play anything. And I don't know, for all his fame and success, that was even appreciated enough.
LISTEN this has me in tears! I am a TRUE Prince fan. I LOVE PRINCE. It makes my heart smile to see your genuine reactions to his presence, his music. Prince is/was a powerful force to be able to affect people like this still. So happy you're enjoying Prince as much as we all do. It broke my heart when he passed away. I miss him. That performance was in Miami. The band playing is the FAMU Marching band, an HBCU in Florida. What an honor to be at the Superbowl AND to play with Prince?! I remember watching when it aired. I cried then and I'm crying now. Great reaction Jay Flex! 💜 💜 💜 P.S. This video is almost 30 years later than that first video you watched. Prince had suffered some back injuries by then. He wasn't going to be sliding all across the floor anymore.
***WE WILL ROCK YOU*** at the beginning is a Queen song! Some of the other songs were covers of Tina Turner and others. The marching band, we have those at high schools/colleges and they perform at games, parades and competitions usually.
I am thrilled that you have discovered Prince! He was an amazing musical talent, and wrote, played all of the instruments, sang, and produced all of the songs on his first album "For You". His music changed considerably over the years, and I hope you enjoy it all! I saw Prince in concert many many times as a young person, and saw his very last live show in Atlanta before he passed. Glad to see his music and fandom lives on!!
You HAVE to check out Prince playing guitar with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, and Dhani Harrison (George Harrison's son from the Beatles), playing the original song that George Harrison wrote and sang with the Beatles called 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. It's one of the best guitar playing you will ever see! You will definitely react to that😂
My friends were part of that halftime show! The people storming the stage were local high school students. Plus I had other friends in the FAMU band. You should react to The FAMU Marching 100 band. The baddest college band hands down!
Prince played 4 guitars that day. It was pouring rain and when production called about the bad weather, Prince asked if they could make it rain harder. Best performance in Super Bowl history.
In surveys every year for best halftime show Prince has been coming in at #1. I think it's because he did not lip sync to recorded music. He is singing LIVE and the music is LIVE, not recorded. And he played several LIVE electric guitars in the rain. R.I.P. TO THE GENIUS PRINCE 💜💜. You can't beat Purple Rain IN THE RAIN!!!
Best SuperBowl performance ever! He was one of the most amazing artist, guitarist, singers, entertainer, writer, producer, etc. Such a huge loss. So glad my generation was able to have him be part of us. RIP to the GOAT.
I’m a new sub too - I’ve been a Prince fan since Dirty Mind (1980). I love your vids but I keep wondering what music your parents played when you were a little one. 😂😂😂 Love your energy… you seem like a darling human.
Because of the rain, the electrocution prospect was very real. When asked if he wanted to cancel, Prince said "can you make it rain harder". Best halftime show ever!
#flexer So so good hearing your reaction here, especially as I linked you to your 1st Prince experience Live. I was going to link you here too as this shows you his insane guitar playing & someone beat me! Naturally his energy is more tame here as he's not dancing, but playing guitar. I'm so pleased you're now a Prince fan. You've made my day 💜💜💜×××
I love that youve found Prince and we get to see your reactions. I saw your 'Baby im a Star' reaction and i was excited for you! He was THE ultimate musical genius of his time. There will NEVER be another. A 5 octal vocal range and a master of over 20+ instruments. Producer and writer of all of his music and the youngest producer of his record label at 19 with a million dollar record deal at WB. Unheard of at the time for an unknown kid. They gave him a shot and let him produce.. He knew what he wanted and no-one was gonna change his vision. He was just incredible and taken too soon. RIP
Prince had custom guitars made.You do realize Prince was 49 yrs old when he did that show? Maybe that's why his energy was not as high as it was in other performances. He aged very well! Plus, it was raining.
It’s pouring down rain here took the chance of getting electrocuted . He’s the musical master . Try playing guitar in pouring rain .. this was incredible
For an epic, legendary guitar solo, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"- ruclips.net/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/видео.html Cream- ruclips.net/video/r967lcA_rR8/видео.html Play That Funky Music / Hollywood Swinging- ruclips.net/video/LNrAFb3I2js/видео.html
I was cracking up on your previous Prince video when at the very end he picked up a guitar (without playing it) and you said "Oh, he plays guitar?" I laughed, thinking "You have NO idea." He's one of the most amazing, most underrated guitarists ever. And this was def the best SB halftime show ever.
This is the GOATed SB halftime show. I’ve seen all the contenders. Have a vivid memory of American sports going back to 1984. This is the tippity top tier. The Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix All Along the Watchtower mix into the Foo Fighters’ Best of You mix literally broke my brain in the best way possible that night.
Prince was a genius. Also give props to the FAMU (Florida A&M) Band playing alongside him. They are an HBCU (Historically Black College & University), and their band is freaking amazing.
I don't care if it was low energy from him. It has been the best halftime show ever. It's going to take something spectacular to outdo this performance.
This IS the BEST 'Halftime' show EVER, it will never be dethroned!!! Check out the meaning of this song, 'Let's Go Crazy".... the "elevator" represents something😉
Educate yourself on all things Prince, my friend! Trust me, you won't be disappointed plus you'll really understand the greatness of this performance even more!
This is still one of the best half time performances by only one artist to date. The way Prince could hold an audience and had such an electricity to him on stage yet off stage he was such a different person. His loss is still felt, It's sad to think of what he would be doing today if he hadn't passed.
And THAT is the magic of Prince….Been a stan since 1984, and I was chosen and was supposed to work the superbowl helping to carry equipment to the stage, and as a extra on the field during this performance (one of the people who look like they “storm the stage” lol..its all choreographed BTW) But MY CAR DIED, and I had no way to get to the rehearsals or stadium the date of the super bowl! I will forever be so heartbroken that I had a chance to be there, but missed this legendary once in a lifetime performance as a Prince fan. So glad that his music lives on, and is being shared with young people so they can see and hear his music, his spirit and his extraordinary talent. This halftime show will never be topped. EVER! He was a virtuoso, a gift and a blessing to this world. I will miss this beautiful man and his beautiful music until the day I die.💜☔🔮 Then Im Praying that when I get to the great beyond, there is music and concerts there. After I greet my Parents, siblings, and other family, the next words out of my mouth will be OK, what time is the Prince concert start? Lol His will be the first show, then The amazing Jeff Buckley…😮💨🙌😘❤
You understand it was pouring rain.... everything was electrical and every piece of equipment was live and when it was over all the equipment literally died... 🙌🔥⛈💜🎸
Nice reaction! Now check his live rendition of Motherless Child for more guitar solos and crowd/band control, or It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night for more high energy crazy stage performance (with Prince hitting the drums at some point)! Cheers!
Yes! I said this in another Prince video he did. He really needs to watch the sign O’ the Times concert video to really see him at his peak, but I agree if he only wanted to see a few songs from that show, it’s gonna be a beautiful night, Hot Thing, Play in the sunshine, Forever in my life, and housequake are it…they will really demonstrate his mastery! To me, that show was amazing and shows him at his tip top peak of his career and abilities. It’s my favorite and I am a lifelong fan.
You mentioned that he had lower energy - it was in fact raining and he was wearing high heels. When he closes that performance with Purple Rain - with the stage lit up all in purple neon, purple guitar and it was actually raining - I swear that was a bona fide Rock God Moment. Goosebumps - every time.
STORMING w/lightening and thunder
@christythut3754 And Prince was 48 almost 49, not in his 20’s or 30’s anymore.
@@tracynorman1455 that too.
Yeah, it was 30 years after the first performance you watched. You need a Gen Xer sitting with you to explain all the Princeliness that is Prince. 💜
Your homework is to sit and listen to the Purple Rain soundtrack from beginning to end.
@@tizzywitchclaystudio9169 like just watch the movie too!
Watch Prince's guitar solo during While My Guitar Gently Weeps at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Arguably the best guitar solo ever!
Yes! This still gives me the chills.
AMEN
Absolutely
I added the same comment in OPs first reaction video to Prince, 100% - too many key moments when it comes to Prince
YES! My #2 Prince video, this one is #1.
I saw a comment once that, that was the year they had a football game at a Prince concert. It’s true. He was a genius.
Exactly what I was going to say. Best halftime EVER!!!!
Is a genius. No one else like him.
The producers asked him if he still wanted to do the show in the pouring rain.
He replied …. “Can you make it rain harder?” 💜💜💜
The NFL behind-the-scenes film for this performance tells the story
Came here to say this !
True story!!!
Is not the backstory that it hadn't rained in Minneapolis for a while, and rain was not expected, but then it began to rain?
Can we make the rain purple?
Everyone talks about the 80's with Prince. He has masterpieces in the 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, past 2010....true fans know this.
NPGMC
Miss 1800NewFunk!!
It was pouring rain, too. This is my favorite halftime show! I get teary eyed every time I here Prince 💜 RIP to the GOAT!! 💜
I'm a grown man crying every time I watch this. Because I saw him in Vegas a couple of weeks after this and it was the last time I ever saw him.
When God's having a bad day, he asks Prince to play his guitar for him to cheer him up. RIP way too young.
I was just saying the same thing. It always gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes at the end. There will never be another.
Crying 😭 again now. So happy his genius is STILL being shared, decades later... But his talent is gone 😢. RIP 💜 unsurpassed genius
You have to see ''Purple Rain'' the movie... the music is off the chain.
There will never be another like Prince... Rest in Power
This consistently clocks in as the greatest half-time performance ever
Nothing will ever come close. I remember them saying he could have been electrocuted because of the rain and the electric guitars. A true professional performance and performer. 💕💜
Yeah this was Prince reminding the world that EYE am the Purple Yoda, dig?
🌸 dude you got to go down the rabbit hole with Prince's music..... you will not be disappointed.
Exactly
It will be an amazing and magical journey ,guaranteed. 🎉
@@charlenejames723 💜
No lip sinking, no pre recorded track to follow. Pure live Prince on badass guitar. No one dares do this today.
He was a musical genius. He was an extraordinary artist.
Played 27 instruments. When he died they found thousands of hours of unreleased music in a safe in Paisley Park.
It broke our hearts to lose him...
He was the only famous person I ever cried about when I heard he passed away.
I’m a Minnesotan and he was our hero. He did everything he could to promote our state and the city if Minneapolis especially the performers from here. The city of Minneapolis lit up purple everywhere and everyone was crying everywhere you looked.
I'm crying 😭 just watching this... knowing such a talent is being shared STILL... But is lost😢
🌸 there's everyone else..... and then there's Prince.
In addition to his own songs in this, he covers Tina Turner's Proud Mary, Jimi Hendrix's On the Watchtower, and the Foo Fighters's The Best of You.
To be more accurate:
We Will Rock You by Queen
Proud Mary is by Credence Clearwater Revival
All Along The Watchtower is by Dylan
Other little stars lyp-synch his own music, Prince played LIVE the history of music.
The story goes that they notified Prince that it would be raining, and asked if they could do anything to help. Prince asked, Can you make it rain harder?

Prince was a once in a lifetime performer. He was MUSIC. No one can ever be what he was…ever.

Then he asked me how I liked seeing Prince live. Told him it was incredible and I'll never forget it. He was proud of some of the shows I went to.

💜💜💜💜💜
You do know he’s passed away. Right!
Prince helped me through some pretty tough times through his music ❤
💜 prince was a total legend true artist, purple rain in the rain came from above for this one!
An example of pouring the maximum talent into the smallest space. He could play anything. And I don't know, for all his fame and success, that was even appreciated enough.
This was the best ever Super Bowl half time show ever and if you noticed it is pouring rain but it didn’t stop Prince he said can’t it rain harder
Best SB half time show as both a Prince fan and enjoyer of nfl American football (both) for 40+ years
Welcome to the purple world. You’ve only just begun.💜☔️
The “rolling on the river” song is “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner- you should definitely check her out as well-another cultural icon
LISTEN this has me in tears! I am a TRUE Prince fan. I LOVE PRINCE. It makes my heart smile to see your genuine reactions to his presence, his music. Prince is/was a powerful force to be able to affect people like this still. So happy you're enjoying Prince as much as we all do. It broke my heart when he passed away. I miss him.
That performance was in Miami. The band playing is the FAMU Marching band, an HBCU in Florida. What an honor to be at the Superbowl AND to play with Prince?! I remember watching when it aired. I cried then and I'm crying now. Great reaction Jay Flex! 💜 💜 💜
P.S. This video is almost 30 years later than that first video you watched. Prince had suffered some back injuries by then. He wasn't going to be sliding all across the floor anymore.
Most epic half time show ever . Prince The legend !
***WE WILL ROCK YOU*** at the beginning is a Queen song! Some of the other songs were covers of Tina Turner and others. The marching band, we have those at high schools/colleges and they perform at games, parades and competitions usually.
I am thrilled that you have discovered Prince! He was an amazing musical talent, and wrote, played all of the instruments, sang, and produced all of the songs on his first album "For You". His music changed considerably over the years, and I hope you enjoy it all! I saw Prince in concert many many times as a young person, and saw his very last live show in Atlanta before he passed. Glad to see his music and fandom lives on!!
The energy difference is because the ones you saw he was really young, he's a lot older at the super bowl
You HAVE to check out Prince playing guitar with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, and Dhani Harrison (George Harrison's son from the Beatles), playing the original song that George Harrison wrote and sang with the Beatles called 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. It's one of the best guitar playing you will ever see! You will definitely react to that😂
The best Super Bowl halftime show ever. Nothing before or since can touch the supreme greatness that was Prince’s halftime show in 2007.
My friends were part of that halftime show! The people storming the stage were local high school students. Plus I had other friends in the FAMU band. You should react to The FAMU Marching 100 band. The baddest college band hands down!
My friend. You just watched the greatest halftime show by the greatest artist of the 20th and 21st century. Welcome
Prince played 4 guitars that day. It was pouring rain and when production called about the bad weather, Prince asked if they could make it rain harder. Best performance in Super Bowl history.
I used to see Prince play at Bunkers bar in Minneapolis when he was a teenager.
Best halftime show EVER!!! He had the entire stadium of 50000 were in the palm of his hand. There will never be another performer like him.
In surveys every year for best halftime show Prince has been coming in at #1. I think it's because he did not lip sync to recorded music. He is singing LIVE and the music is LIVE, not recorded.

Prince could play every instrument that is in a band. Like Wolfgang Van Halen the son of the guitar GOD Eddie Van Halen.
Because of the rain, the electrocution prospect was very real. When asked if he wanted to cancel, Prince said "can you make it rain harder". Best halftime show ever!

It’s pouring down rain here took the chance of getting electrocuted . He’s the musical master . Try playing guitar in pouring rain .. this was incredible

It's been said that they just had a football game at a Prince concert
I was cracking up on your previous Prince video when at the very end he picked up a guitar (without playing it) and you said "Oh, he plays guitar?" I laughed, thinking "You have NO idea." He's one of the most amazing, most underrated guitarists ever. And this was def the best SB halftime show ever.
The marching band-a huge part of the half time show
Did you know that Prince played all instruments on his first album?
YAY JAY! SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE SPELLBOUND BY HIM MAN! HE WAS ONE OF A KIND, A GENIUS AND WE MISS HIM DEARLY! ^..^
Prince is one of the greatest guitarist of all time
Performances like this are where you cross the line from rock star to Rock God.
🌸 there was a bad thunderstorm that nite.
He sang like 6 or 7 songs in ONE show!!.. When Prince told U to "Go Krazy!"... Thts EXACTLY what happened!... LOL.. ✌️❤️😎👑👍👍🇺🇸
Prince the musical Genius.
This is the GOATed SB halftime show. I’ve seen all the contenders. Have a vivid memory of American sports going back to 1984.
This is the tippity top tier.
The Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix All Along the Watchtower mix into the Foo Fighters’ Best of You mix literally broke my brain in the best way possible that night.
Prince was a genius. Also give props to the FAMU (Florida A&M) Band playing alongside him. They are an HBCU (Historically Black College & University), and their band is freaking amazing.
I don't care if it was low energy from him. It has been the best halftime show ever. It's going to take something spectacular to outdo this performance.
I got to see him live in concert three times. Best performer ever!
The year they played football at a Prince concert.
This IS the BEST 'Halftime' show EVER, it will never be dethroned!!! Check out the meaning of this song, 'Let's Go Crazy".... the "elevator" represents something😉
This is the halftime show for the Super Bowl, the NFL finals. So a totally different ballgame than a normal halftime. This was the best ever.
You’re right, it doesn’t get better than this.
Educate yourself on all things Prince, my friend! Trust me, you won't be disappointed plus you'll really understand the greatness of this performance even more!
This is still one of the best half time performances by only one artist to date. The way Prince could hold an audience and had such an electricity to him on stage yet off stage he was such a different person. His loss is still felt, It's sad to think of what he would be doing today if he hadn't passed.
And THAT is the magic of Prince….Been a stan since 1984, and I was chosen and was supposed to work the superbowl helping to carry equipment to the stage, and as a extra on the field during this performance (one of the people who look like they “storm the stage” lol..its all choreographed BTW)
But MY CAR DIED, and I had no way to get to the rehearsals or stadium the date of the super bowl! I will forever be so heartbroken that I had a chance to be there, but missed this legendary once in a lifetime performance as a Prince fan.
So glad that his music lives on, and is being shared with young people so they can see and hear his music, his spirit and his extraordinary talent. This halftime show will never be topped. EVER! He was a virtuoso, a gift and a blessing to this world. I will miss this beautiful man and his beautiful music until the day I die.💜☔🔮
Then Im Praying that when I get to the great beyond, there is music and concerts there. After I greet my Parents, siblings, and other family, the next words out of my mouth will be OK, what time is the Prince concert start? Lol His will be the first show, then The amazing Jeff Buckley…😮💨🙌😘❤
Best Super Bowl Performance EVER! But then, it is Prince.
Not just playing his songs but, featuring other artist as well…No Ego.
That felt like that was an entire concert.
We are happy that you appreciated our legendary icon!!!!!! Hecan play every instrument since he was in his teens!
Just remember this is a medley not full songs little parts of a bunch of songs mostly the hooks
You understand it was pouring rain.... everything was electrical and every piece of equipment was live and when it was over all the equipment literally died... 🙌🔥⛈💜🎸
It’s raining, his guitar is going out, they wanted him to cancel, but he wouldn’t, so he has to protect himself from harm.
Shout out to the twins dancing so hard in the rain and 7 inch heels!!!
Nice reaction! Now check his live rendition of Motherless Child for more guitar solos and crowd/band control, or It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night for more high energy crazy stage performance (with Prince hitting the drums at some point)! Cheers!
Yes! I said this in another Prince video he did. He really needs to watch the sign O’ the Times concert video to really see him at his peak, but I agree if he only wanted to see a few songs from that show, it’s gonna be a beautiful night, Hot Thing, Play in the sunshine, Forever in my life, and housequake are it…they will really demonstrate his mastery! To me, that show was amazing and shows him at his tip top peak of his career and abilities. It’s my favorite and I am a lifelong fan.
Absolute best halftime show ever. I cry every. Single. Time. 💞💫🎵🎵🎵
It was pouring down rain. He is doing a mashup of songs. Best half time show ever. Will never be beat. ❤🎉
I remember that… my school band performed!!!!
The greatest half-time show in American history. And honestly age will slow you down; you'll see.😏💜
