PRINCE - SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW - LIVE | REACTION

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Dave Grohl didn’t know Prince was going to do his song. He found out while watching it live . He said he cried. ❤

[@GarnetJ]

Oh wow, that’s so cool! I bet he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

@@GarnetJ That is pretty much what he said 😁 I’m sure it must have felt a little unreal at first. I watched the show live and I was confused when Prince started singing it. 😂🥰

[@nickstadler1906]

I think Dave Grohl had said he'd heard the demo/rehearsal of it that either Prince (or Pepsi, or the NFL) had leaked to The Howard Stern Show during the week before the game, so there was already speculation that it was going to be in the set list.

[@YoungMr.H.5304]

The definitive GREATEST HALFTIME PERFORMANCE EVER.

[@timeouthumanity2067]

No doubt

[@JohnSmith-hf4tv]

By far The BEST Superbowl Halftime Show in the History of Music.

[@srv2217]

This was that time they had a football game during a Prince concert

[@panface1000]

Best reaction :)

[@raywheeler6822]

Good one...

[@paranoiaaa4126]

Best comment ever!! 🎉

[@Stretch1003]

I love this reaction because it's actually an informed reaction. Prince's stage presence and audience interaction absolutely rivaled his musical genius. The fact that he generated so much stadium participation that the audience members were the only ones singing at the end is just one epic piece of a hugely epic performance. The day even God showed up as a Prince fan.

[@Beldvlmnt]

My friend I appreciate this 🙏 I was a sound guy and a stage manager for a long time, and I just wanna give a little extra to appreciate. Hard not to with Prince!!

[@MoMoMyPup10]

To me that was the most special part of an insane performance -- the dude was humble enough to let the crowd finish it off for him. Who does that? The fact that they asked before the show if he wanted to cancel because of the storm and he said 'can you make it rain harder?', just elevates how fearless and iconic he was.

[@MCMNasty2]

Best part of the whole show for me is the chills I get when you hear the audience going all in when he throws his hands up and the mic down.

[@LuvOneAnother]

THE #Prince halftimeshow is the Number 1 spot. No special featured guests and he could've done ALL his own songs BUT he included SONGS for every age group.. #PRINCE can do covers,But No one can cover #Prince says it all.

[@LadyGX]

This never gets old. What a brilliant performance.

[@susangreer8412]

An expert was examining his guitars for his estate, after Prince died. He opened a guitar and saw water damage on the inside. That’s when he realized “Oh shit! This is the Super Bowl guitar!!!”

[@juliansandoval9927]

Great reaction, I love seeing musicians react to his live performances. You guys get it and appreciate the singular talent that this man was. Thanks

[@nylarch4227]

Amazing reaction - I’ve watched this a million times and didn’t realize how much he modded his guitars…great insight. It’s so crazy - almost nobody performs live at the Super Bowl because of all the risk and he’s out there covering Dylan and Foo Fighters 😂😂. I was lucky enough to attend a Prince after hours show back in the 90’s and that’s just how he did it. Came on at a club at 1am after he already played a 3 hour show and covered Temptations, Stevie, etc. and tons of Prince hits. So of course he turns the biggest music gig in the world into his personal after hours show. He’s the 🐐

[@Lynsey77]

An absolute musical genius. Was lucky enough to see him perform 3 times. Still hard to believe he’s gone. Also agree with the others, you def need to check out While my guitar gently weeps. One of the best guitar solos ever!

[@wandamanning9198]

I love your reaction. Nothing better than watching a musician react. In my humble opinion, the best Superbowl Halftime show EVER! Hard to beat Purple Rain in the rain 💜💜💜

[@dragonballz4998]

What a thing to have been alive and witness Prince making music. We shall never this many talents in one musician who is admired and has influenced hundreds of millions of people around the world. From buildings and landmarks to sporting venues and music gigs honoring the Purple Yoda was a sight to see.

[@lynnebryan6443]

Can we just talk about the musicality of moving from all along the watchtower to is someone getting the best of you. God I miss him

[@GarnetJ]

This is a legendary Super Bowl halftime performance. It will be hard to beat, by anyone anytime. And the Foo Fighters cover was fantastic!! I would have loved to see Dave Grohl’s reaction 😉 Prince was not only an insanely talented musician and songwriter, but an entertainer through and through. Sad I never saw him live. One of a kind.

[@carolyaw4805]

Please react to " When my guitar gently weeps." This performance was a tribute to the Beetles. And Prince had a solo piece, which is amazing, and it's reviewed as one of the best solo acts ever. IT IS AMAZING, PRINCE WAS AMAZING

[@annettecantu3826]

AWESOME I watch3d that one over and over!

[@Stretch1003]

No, it WASN'T a tribute to the Beatles. It was a tribute to George Harrison upon his posthumous induction into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame - his second induction where he was recognized for his solo career. George Harrison wrote the song and had a successful and impactful music legacy well beyond The Beatles. That video never once claims to be a Beatles tribute - and its a pretty major distinction.

[@charlesc7950]

There will never be a halftime show better than this one.

[@michaeljimson6918]

I saw Prince eight times in Detroit throughout the years in all kinds of different venues and work as a stage hand at one of his shows at Joe Louis arena. What can you say? The charisma just oozes out of this guy. You run out of the words trying to describe him and his talents. God I miss this guy. 😭💜💜💜

[@pietersbart]

Prince was so incredibly talented as musician, especially guitar, singer and creator of music. It’s so sad he died at such an early age. This half time showed his talent and devotion to perform to such a high degree of perfection with complicated music, singing and dancing while on heels on a soaking wet platform. There is another amazing performance when he joins a band of the very famous musicians to honor George Harrison and plays ‘While my guitar gently weeps’: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moi1dKKle7CeacU

[@cherylb309]

This is so amazing Prince in a rainstorm, electric guitars & dancers with 8inch heels! Have played this video many times over 👏👏

[@dabrat7306]

I saw Prince at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. BEST CONCERT EVER!!, thanks, man. I loved your reaction. Prince has a huge rabbit hole to go down. Bruno did a contribution to Prince, you should check it out.

[@aswanblack3317]

"Prince, weather reports say it will rain during the halftime show, what do you want to do? " (management). "CAN YOU MAKE IT RAIN HARDER? (Prince) True conversation a few hours before the game.

[@tightknotsfishing9334]

I've re-watched this halftime show hundreds of times and seen many reactions but the respect, knowledge, and understanding that you've shown is by far the best. What a great reaction and thank you for breaking the complexity and musicianship down...great job!

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

Prince was amazing and never got his acknowledgements that he deserved!! Prince was a musical genius!!❤❤❤

[@gifted2at94]

Best review I've seen on Prince on KZbin, of course coming from a musician, Musicians get they get Prince the right Way!!!!!

[@sheischic77]

This is a Half Time Show !! Prince there will never we another !

[@nfpnone8248]

Prince life was the absolute greatest. I know people loved Michael Jackson, but Prince live, that’s entertainment!

[@jodip699]

Thankyou! You are so respectful. Your reaction, after already watching the performance a few hundred or more times, helped me to appreciate it much more.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

When the reactor 'gets it' and is all caught up in just how good it is, it just elevates our experience of watching it one more time. This was a great watch!

[@MCMNasty2]

I still wish it didn’t have to end. 😢❤

[@sandraborchart6910]

The best Super Bowl halftime show ever! There will be no one that can top Prince! I wonder how many people paid at least $3,000 just for that 12 minutes! Super Bowl tickets are not cheap.

[@nfpnone8248]

The artist don’t get paid to perform at the halftime of the Superbowl, just an odd fact!

[@lavenderbee3611]

Prince was just masterful in everything he did, there is nobody today who is even close. He left it all on the stage.

[@afrohuman2]

Legend says while discussing the rain and the show ... whomever was worried about Princes reaction... He said.. Can you make it rain harder😎😎Purple rain 💕I saw Prince in Cleveland Ohio and my gawd 😮😮😮💕💕💕 as a young Caucasian women who lived in a very tiny mostly white town. I was dreadfully underdressed and we sat for two hours and watched the excellence in dressing that the men and women put into coming out 🤯 amazing!! I had chills the entire concert💯💯

[@hughfuller8416]

Your gasp during “Purple Rain” is the reaction I needed and didn’t know I needed.

[@mztweety1374]

He’s the reason I listen to everything from Queen to Metallica and of course Foo Fighters 🎸🤟🏾🥁🎧🎤

[@iamsoulfunky8512]

Your reaction is the BEST!!!!!! Way to keep it sooooo REAL! You're Great!!

[@AJimiDigginKat]

There are those who try to say that there have been better or equal Superbowl performances, and it's just blatantly obvious that this is THE best it will ever get.

[@davidhodgins7122]

This is without question the Greatest Super Bowl Show Ever. Prince was told before going on stage that it was raining he said " Can you make it rain HARDER" Prince didn't do just his own songs which is outstanding. This was a LEGEND AND TRUE TALENTED PROFESSIONAL!!! Also a world class Guitarist. It is raining heavy yet it looks like the rain is missing Prince. This is an immortal performance!!! GOD was there.

[@InteliLEX]

Just a little heads up about his guitar’s… It’s a Horner guitar as you mentioned unique to the Horner Hellcaster guitar is that unlike most T-Style guitar’s it’s solid maple (giving it a bit more brightness than typical in a telecaster) He’s also using Debardeen Pickups - The Stratocaster guitar has EMG Pickups - He’s playing through one Soldano SLO 100 Head and One Orange Head through Oversized Mesa 4/12 Cabinets - The effects are all Boss with the exception of the VOX Wah Wah Pedal and The Digitech Whammy Pedal - Great Reaction… Cheers

[@cheriwinn3852]

Prince is one man army 💜 Nobody has more talent! For more Prince shredding you should check out the evening Prince and George Harrison (posthumously) were inducted into the RRHF. There was a musical salute to George and some of The Traveling Wilburys and Prince played While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Prince goes off. Be sure to check out the remaster. They added more footage of Prince

[@robinbeerman4726]

Was iconic beautiful man and musician.

[@Ray-pl9rz]

Amazing performance!! Try to ear this one to Purple rain in Staples Center 2004!

[@dominicmcknight6976]

How bout the fact that he was wearing heels in this performance. 😮 yuo would never know.

[@Kickinthescience]

Just another day for Prince

[@ericroberts7485]

Part of the sound went out do to the rain and no really noticed. His guitar wasn’t fully there at towards the end but it didn’t matter it was still amazing and he played it off beautifully. I don’t think you noticed. I didn’t until someone from work told me.

[@paranoiaaa4126]

There was just something about his energy, delivery. The world got a little lighter the day he died. RIp😢 My favorite is the Rock an Roll Hall of Fame While My Guitar Gently Weeps! Best guitar solo. ❤

[@francescobattisti9926]

For a half of the time he played somebody else's music. From queen to hendricks to foo fighters. No problem. That was Prince showing. All that music sounded his own. I really can't undestrand how they could still play football after that.

[@francescobattisti9926]

you have the biggest audience you can desire and you simply play music, your own, someone elses's. without any special effect but the rain. Music on stage. "Do you wanna sing tonight?!"

[@laurasedor4641]

I'm surprised this video only has 422 likes! There is a little documentary produced by the NFL about this halftime show, its very good. Also can you react to the Rihanna show?

[@sylviacollins652]

DON'T EVEN ask me what teams played in this Super Bowl 'cause I DON'T EVEN KNOW...OR CARE! THIS was a PRINCE CONCERT! AND Prince BLAZED IT! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@Beldvlmnt]

100% the same!!!!

[@Maggimae2367]

And he’s doing covers! Tina Turner, Hendrix, Foo Fighters really!! No one expected that!! Dave Grohl went nuts btw!! He heard that he may be doing a cover of one of his songs but he couldn’t make himself believe it and the next day he heard he’d done it and couldn’t wait to get online to see it.

[@MariaC-dr8cr]

Come on, dude! We're all waiting for your reaction to Prince's guitar solo on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' 🔥 🎸 🔥 🎸 🔥

[@iworkharvey4103]

Love this

[@kristilouque8412]

Awesome reaction.💜Please react to “I Don’t Trust You Anymore” live for a whole different, more jazzy Prince.

[@jenRxnavygal]

Good seeing your joy while watching this vid. Hope to see more in the immediate future. Prince was such a true visionary and musical genius for humanity. He will always be loved and live on in the hearts and spirits of many. I think you will definitely like this live performance from Detroit 2004, "Sshh"...kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnbMYX6redNseMU

[@70centurian]

He sang and played this SHIT. ( l played 21yrs. Rocker) and No way, lm on that stage and that rain. LIVE POwer....) (Yes hes wire-less but ) HIS 10ft tall...! RIP Brotha. U are Missed

[@2eurocoin]

Musical genius, but had the audience completely involved from the get go.

[@SpaceMermaid86]

I've heard that NFL requires artists to have tracks to lip sync to in case of any issues. Price refused. Either he performed live or he didn't perform.

[@kandicesearcy1049]

❤❤ magical!

[@escott1444]

Watch George Harrison tribute by Tom Petty Prince and others

[@thibautzadina7013]

you seem to understand what's going on with prince's playing :o so he's allowed to do all he does because the honer can handle a lot of gain?? all concert guitars receive a lot of gain though... why is this one special?

[@Beldvlmnt]

Gain is the information that is sent from the guitar pick ups to the amp (kinda lol paraphrasing) so the more and more of the guitar you send to the amp, the more and more signal and noise is created. Some pick ups can handle much more of that noise before starting to make weird sounds or break up - it’s a weird specific part of the guitar most people wouldn’t influence I don’t think. That being said, Prince probably gets it

[@tejida815]

👏🖖

[@ivlpez4741]

bruno is heavily influenced lol

[@RBHADD]

..and the world has very little understanding of how great, complicated, he waa

[@Maggimae2367]

There we’re idiots reacting to this who thought it was prerecorded because he played with one hand st a point. They know nothing!!!
