Someone said that Prince would never do those Purple Rain songs live again ever, I don't know that may have been the big deal.

Not sure about that. I did read that as he's now a Jehovah's Witness, he wont swear in his records anymore and wont play any songs that contain profanity (thats a fair chunk of the back catalogue gone, then!).
No censorship nightmares for CBS this year, then....if only they'd asked him to do the show about 15 or 20 years ago...

Some guy in the AP...called the Stones has-beens?......yeah all $432 million of em on ABB?
Qoute:
He delivered one of the best Super Bowl halftime shows — ever. Consequently, he didn't come across as a painfully safe choice — or a has-been, the rap against the previous couple of Super Bowl halftime acts, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones.
Heres the whole story:

Awesome performance!! Used the rain like a prop; it made the whole thing more dramatic. The man covers all bases; you just don't find a pair of hot twins like that every day. Glad they got his sound right!

He played a segment of Watchtower, thank you very kindly.
Prince is amazing.
For me( I am not a football fan) it was the best part of the evening.

Too funny. And the best thing was that the media and religious nuts who went apeshit over a second of titties on the TV haven't even caught on to Prince playing with himself.

i tuned in at about the time i thought half time would be....had to watch 6 minutes of first half
but i thought he was great......and the laser/light/marching band thing was just fantastic.
the weather really did help.
he's a great performer, one of the finest guitar players around.
sadly, we ended up watching the rest of the game, but by that time i had other stuff to do.....

Prince did a great show, maybe the best. The Stones last year was so so, the general public thinks they sucked.

I've always liked Prince.
After seeing him live (and up close), it's all about the shoes with this guy! I find myself scouting his feet to see what he's wearing and I wind up being a little jealous. (Fucker has better hi-heels than I do!) Last night was no different for me - and I was actually waiting for him to take a spill on that wet stage - thankfully, he didn't do all that much in dancing around as he usually does.
Besides being a great entertainer - he's got great taste in footwear

Some foreign recordings sounded great, without the American broadcast's sound errors and without the cencorship. They used to be on UTube.
Yeah, I know, I've heard/seen the European stuff. I know the sound wasn't their fault, but to me personally, it was just a bit disappointing that they seemed to rush thru it with the predicitable war horses, and Mick just didn't seem to be into it totally. I took alot of crap from friends about how old they are and they should hang it up, etc. As a fan, I was kind of hoping they'd come out and prove themselves to the world.LOL Wishful thinking, guess truth is sometimes stranger than fiction... BUT, hey, they're the Stones......we'll always have Exile....

Are you suggesting he forgot how to or something? Its called a medley. Medleys have always been a part of any Prince show.
Fuck me, at least he didnt take the easy, predictable route and do a quick run through the hits as well as plugging a song off his most recent album in a vain, last ditch attempt to get some people to buy it
Yeah but gazza. Come on. Medleys in general suck.(except for the stones If you can't Rock me/Get off my Cloud medley). He had 12 mins. He could have ran through 3 killer versions of his own songs.

And he could've brought up Justin and Britney too!
I'm not a Prince fan by any stretch... I know this: He has talent, and he ia a pure artist, in the sense, he does what he feels like doing, not what he thinks people want to see him do.... Sets him light years past The current Stones mindset! If Jagger had those balls, we'd see a much more cooler Stones show, and far from a stadium size show...

Prince is one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. The fact that we are comparing him to the stones in this thread is testament to his talent. Prince is one man who writes all of his own music and lyrics, the rolling stones are, at very least, two brilliant songwritters (Mick and Keith). And lets be honest guys, the Stones have come up with some crap as well.
I think Prince deserves all of the praise he gets for his musical efforts these days. Gazza is right, at least he didnt try and plug something and he looked like he just wanted to entertain.
He played a set at the Brit awards a year or two back and he was only in the UK to plug 3121. However, he still played a blinding set there.
He is genius. Watch this for a real lesson in how to play the axe!
