Prince always involved the crowd when he performed

When the weather forecast firmed up, one of the show's producers called Prince to let him know it would be raining during his performance & asking if there was anything he could do to help. Prince said, "Yeah. Can you make it rain more?" Legend.

The best ever Halftime show ! The G.O.A.T ! 💜💜💜

I've gone back and forth on this quite a few times, but I'm certain now that this was the best halftime show to date.

The TV execs were ready to cancel the Halftime Show for safety reasons, so they asked _him_ if he wanted to cancel, and he responded 'can you make it rain _harder?'_

Might not have been the biggest Prince fan but he truly was one of a kind. The talent, the charisma and what a proffessional to bring that performance in that weather. Ofc thats the best super bowl halftime show, noone really comes close i would say. What a feeling it must have been for Prince to have the audience sing his song especially as it wasnt one of his own shows where everyone is a Prince fan. Purple Rain on a Purple Stage in the heavy rain, it doesnt get better than this.

Prince was such a powerful performer, he could actually make it rain during Purple Rain 😂

Those dancers were running around the wet stage in spike heels. It was an amazing performance.

Greatest Super Bowl performance of all time.

Fun fact...The 2 girls are Aussie twin sisters. They did a great job staying upright on that wet stage.

we will never get a personal & truly live Super bowl performance like Princes Super bowl ever again.

Best Halftime Show ever! Prince was a class of his own, unmatched! Thank you Verdy for bringing this magnificent performance! ❤

Love that he covered bits of Proud Mary, All Along The Watchtower, and the Foo Fighters’ The Best Of You. I miss him.

The legend sure was a showboater but he did it with no ego. His big halftime show, his biggest song, and he let the audience finish singing it and let the moment sing louder than he ever could, and he knew it. Plus he took the time to pay tribute to two of the biggest legends in Tina Turner and Jimi Hendrix, when he only had 5 songs on his playlist. The stuff legends are made of.

The best Superbowl half time show I've seen & his 2 dancers did a great job in that weather staying on their feet

A little backstory: In 2006 the Foo Fighters had released a cover of Prince's "Darling Nikki" so he was returning the favor, so to speak, by doing "Best if You".

It's only fitting that Prince does Purple Rain, in the rain

There will never be another halftime show that good

He brought out a freaking marching band! Not just any marching band but "The Marching 100" aka "The Baddest Band In The Land"from FAMU. His suit color is a shout out to the Miami Dolphins where the Super Bowl took place. He even excels in the details. Great show great reaction

R.I.P. one of the best and most iconic to ever do it.

He was Amazing. Great loss to MUSIC. l saw his Last show in CLT. (lm a Rocker and from WAY back) The funny secret, in the late 80s, The Metal/Rocker guys was talkin about this "GUY". Crazy clothes and Soft look but IT got OUT, from people that saw him live, HE was A Rocker....! Once in a Lifetime Talent. EVERY person, Band/music lover, Looked and Watched Him with Envy. AND, This IS, The Greatest Half Time show, Of ALL TIME. (Research the night and etc...) Love the Channel. RIP Brotha .... U Are Missed (AND, HE played and Sang this SHIT...! )

Master showman! Guitar playing phenom.

This is the day that prince won the superbowl game!

THE greatest 15mins ever by any artist mr prince roger nelson - THE best to ever do it ❤

I remember how awesome his performance was..The rain was actually part of the performance…brilliant…

Real music by real musicians. The only time it rained during the halftime show. It was mighty nice of the NFL to play a game at a Prince concert. There was so many things that stood out from the performance like the stage, guitar solos, the cover songs medley, the Prince silhouette, and his different vocal ranges. I'm biased because I love Prince but this as been the best halftime performance to date. Still is by the critics, and the rest of the world. In a word he was "special" very special. A true musician who had no bounds

A very great Reaction 🎉 Prince performed to Entertain his fans‼️ Always the best for his fans Thanks for the Entertainment 😊

I truly appreciate your reaction to this video performance! You did not stop video numerous times and your comments when you did stop it were very much on point! I could tell you really enjoyed PRINCE's performance and brilliance!

The best SB show ever

I generally don't think much of halftime shows, but I still remember this one. Specifically, I remember thinking: 1) Every future halftime show should be a tribute to this halftime show. 2) I should maybe buy a Telecaster.

There is so much that goes with this performance greatness on that night, one of those being Dave Grohl ending up with two GREAT Prince stories! The crew talking about the rain that day and Prince's response to that being "can you make it rain harder?" is epic. He's one of the biggest music legends ever and that performance was anything but "safe" due to the weather that night, he didn't hesitate not one second!

Damn! I remember this Prince performance very well! I had the privilege of being there and saw many cry at that moment (myself included). And now, after so many years, seeing this marvel again, it is simply impossible not to cry again. Thank you for this beautiful memory, Megitsunes. Great react again. See you at the next 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

He was a great performer and outstanding guitarist. Always love your reaction, love that beautiful smile when you really get into it.

The best halftime ever done.

💜🐾 best superbowl ever

Best SB halftime performance ever.

Amazing to see the dancers in the high heels dancing in the rain… they didn’t miss a step

this was simply the best live performance ever!!!

a very underrated guitar player...

I'm not a kid and I'm not sentimental really, but his loss hurt. Lots and lots af artists have been lost but Prince was different in a way even Michael Jackson couldn't match. Prince was Elvis like.

Great reaction as always. I really love your sign-off btw. "Stay safe outside" is such a nice thing to say. :)

Love the reaction, to this perpetually loved performance.

Great reaction to an unbelievable performance!

Prince tapped into his inner Jimi Hendrix for this performance, and not merely because of the nod during that "All Along the Watchtower/Gimme Shelter" nod to the Foo Fighters. The rain was real, but those lightning bolts are special effects added later. The NFL shuts down games when there's a risk of lightning.

This performance consistently clocks in as the greatest half-time performance ever. The NFL channel even did a short documentary about it

First of all, congratulations on 40,000 subscribers. I’m so happy for you. I can’t wait to congratulate you for 100,000 subscribers. Secondly, I was lucky enough to see Prince a couple of times in the early 2000s… And the shows were amazing. I’m so glad you got to experience a taste of what his live performances were like through this video.

Prince shows were magical especially the Halftime show 🤘🏾🔥🤘🏾

Lucky to see this for the first time. I still cry watching it after the 228th time 😂 💜♀️

Prince was chronically underestimated as a guitarist during most of his lifetime. He shined brightly near the end of his tragically too-short life though.

One of Prince’s best live performances is “montreux 2009-prince” . A rock/jazz performance. Some stand out moments: little red corvette (slow down guitar version), The heartbreaking slow jam “Eye love u, but eye don’t trust I anymore,” the flirty sexiness of “When eye lay my hands on you,” the love song “Somewhere here on earth.” Also some heavy guitar ridden covers.

No back tracking or lip syncing. Prince was all natural

If I remember correctly, a major point to his EVEN CONSIDERING doing the performance was NOT performing to a tape, if he couldn't play completely live, he wouldn't do it....He played in such horrific conditions, he sang, danced and rocked the place to the ground....in heels...Rest In Power Prince....

The show runners were mortified by the weather, which was a lot worse than it looks. First of all it’s potentially dangerous to handle electric equipment in the rain like this. Second, the stage floor was allegedly slippery AF, and they especially feared the dancing twins would break a leg or two dancing in those high heels on that floor. Prince’s reaction? According to one producer his only comment, shortly before show, was: ”Can you make it rain more?”. Of course. Legend.

For me... one of the best live shows ever, can not get enough of it :)

Great reaction Verdy. I watched the preformance live back in 2007 and it was epic. Everything came together perfectly including the rain for Purple Rain. I remember at the time I didn't think he would preform Purple Rain because Prince was a very forward thinking individual and he didn't like looking to the past. Purple Rain came out in 1984 and I think the only reason he played the song that night is that he was inspired by the rain.Cheers !!

Prince went out there and honored a bunch of artists he appreciated, and then he sang only one of his songs (albeit the perfect one) and he was just the best. Edit: Also, the McClean twins and Prince dancing like that in those heels on that slick surface, and not a single slip. Just amazing.

He's a true performer💜

Vous etes adorable! Merci pour vos reactions.

Prince should have been given better credit as a guitarist ❤

I remember watching this back then... and I was genuinely impressed ...for the first time since Michael Jackson's '92 performance at the Super Bowl .. .this was really something!

Greatest halftime show ever? Take that up with people!

Tears welling up here too with you, and heck, I’ve seen the performance a million times. But really enjoyed your reaction!

Simply The greatest ever

All performers must wear shoes, but could still slip. The reason they must wear shoes is to keep freak electrical contact from happening. A French singer who always sang barefoot stepped on a live wire on stage and it generated enough arrhythmia to kill her. It was a freak accident (wires are typically sealed and taped to the stage). The wires came loose. Today, there are specific rules at concerts (health & safety). Mostly, performing in the rain today is pretty safe. Back when my mother was a professional singer, concerts outside were cancelled for rain, or at least delayed 30 minutes.

One of the best @15 minutes of live music regardless of the circumstances. Im happy for Dave Grohl getting to have his song played in this set.

Just found your channel, and your reaction to this EPIC performance was Absolutely AWESOME! ❤

Imagine if the FA Cup final had a halftime show like this 😅

Love from Indonesia

The guitar you liked that he donned at the start of Purple Rain is based on his Love Symbol. An amalgam of the male and female gender symbols, custom made. The stage is also the same shape and design as the Love Symbol. Prince has been using that symbol in various guises since the 80's. Even changed his name to it in the 90's!!

Amazing video! Prince The Legend!

Keep shining young lady ❤

Beautiful reaction!

Great reaction! Can't believe the NFL blocked this on Patreon.

Nice choice Verdy my favorite halftime show but I would also recommend as a close second U2's emotional halftime show in February of 2002 paying tribute to the 9/11 victims still puts a lump in the throat

We miss him here in Minneapolis!❤

Good grief.....2007. Time really flies.

He commanded a whole stadium, and they followed.

i don't want to sound bitter or hopeless. But i feel like that halftime show was the last time everyone in that country felt as one. and i don't know anyone that could replace prince to bring them back together.

Shout out to FAMU's incomparable Marching 100 #HubbaPrince #Hubba100 #HubbaDoc

Prince was a jdub. He referred to the Devil as the elevator and ironically died in front of an elevator. I need to get his wha pedal for my jam sessions.

Blue Sky, Blood Red Moon, Red + Blue = Purple Rain falls from the sky Thus Purple Rain 💜💜☔️☔️

You have great taste in music. U instantly knew tinas song;)

🙋🏼‍♂️👍🙋🏼‍♂️still hoping u will do Peter Frampton (Do U Feel Like We DO) live 1975 Midnight Special

I believe it was the best also. This was live not lip synced like it is these days.

Thank you!

New challenge. Watch prince reactions and try not to cry. I’m trying it’s been seven years OK??❤🔥🎸😎🤷🏾‍♀️ Also, this performance made me a fan of the Foo Fighters and by association, Nirvana

If I can throw another artist out there, you need to listen to Dan Vasc and his rendition of Amazing Grace. Dan is a metal singer from Brazil. It's not what you would expect, I think you will be blown away!

#HubbaPrince purple rain in the rain FAMU hbcu!

Such a loss a genius.

Here is the background to Prince’s show as told by the production crew. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNegd9yhysiqm4E.htmlsi=Vf0bTKfMNlt-9XGQ

I suggest Miss VERDY Channel react to Nightwish performing "Ghost Love Score" from Wacken in 2013 which is the best version by far. If that doesn't get a rise out of you, nothing will. Floor Jansen, their third singer, was best qualified to sing it, as you'll see. With kindest regards -

❤

Do some more live Prince. Honestly But choose wisely Not Purple Rain Album Enjoy!

VERDY!!!! Got a great album for you to peep! The Fixx - Reach The Beach, 1983

Could you please listen to ‘The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet’ it’s from around 1983 but nobody knows who wrote or performed it. Love your channel!

If you don’t know the story about prince doing the foo fighters song you should look it up, the only thing better is Dave Chappell pic on breakfast can wait 😂😂😂😂😂 prince halftime show is the best of all time G.O.A.T ☮️💜☔️

Check out Bruno Mars' halftime show if you haven't seen it. It's one of the best.

Am I alone in thinking this girl is super hot, in a non-obvious way?

Pourquoi pas "BREAKFAST IN AMERICA " vous etes. tres Jeune

Second video continues performance from Oprah-please review (Prince part 2)
