Adam Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Who cares about halftime and commercials.....just play some good football.....too bad they weren't too good at that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 those are basically the official colors of miami anyways. and if anyone thinks Prince is "fruity"... the man took Carmen Electra's V-card so say whatever you want. Fruity-eccentric, not in a questioning his manhood sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 price was awesome and is still one of the godfathers of modern rock music, without prince there would be no living colour aka vernon reid, and there would be no red hot chili peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It takes real talent to !@#$ up a solo you wrote. Next year just play the Lingerie Bowl at half time and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I don't care about the superbowl halftime show. I haven't seen a FULL one in 6 years. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAVE SINGERS AS THE SHOW. CAN'T IT BE SOMETHING COOL LIKE DAVID COPPERFIELD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 k so after second glance, i think labillsfan was predicting what the majority of you "cavemen" here would say...i am pretty sure I "know" LA and I think I get his post..yeah the halftime sucked, and peyton mannin is lucky and will never win anything and without the officials, he would have lost that game!!!!! Damn, you had me worried there for a sec, Pooj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 1982 called, they want their halftime show back... HAHA! Besides that- I thought his name was no longer Prince? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesir Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 INCREDIBLE Halftime show. Fantastic in HD and a great 5.1 Audio mix. I had the stereo cranked and the house was Rockin'! People who think that Prince went out of style back in the early 90's are slaves to the radio. Great artists continue to put out great albums even if the pop station you listen to don't play them. As for people saying Prince is gay... if being gay means getting all the smokin' chicks he's had over the years then I want to be gay too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hell, I wasn't a fan of Prince back in the 80s, but the dude's WAY better than most of the crap that's out nowadays. funny, though, how the 80s are coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I just watched it on tape. Doing a mash up of Dylan and the Foo Fighters was pretty cool, and doing Purple Rain in the Rain actually had me wondering if he was performing under sprinklers or something. He was pretty good, which makes him great in a slot that is usually a suck-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Very nice performance by Prince - which I expected; he's a fine entertainer who knows how to reach a wide audience - he's far different than the high-volume, head-banger FU lyric types.

bobblehead Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Probably the best halftime show theyve ever had. Prince shouldve gotten the MYP award Go figure, actual live guitar playing. Based on the responses, I guess the people will have none of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I liked the half time show. Did anyone else think Prince was going to get electrocuted with all of the rain and water on the stage ? And did the water and rain affect the acoustics of the Purple Rain guitar solo ? It sounded off quite abit from the studio version ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did the water and rain affect the acoustics of the Purple Rain guitar solo ? It sounded off quite abit from the studio version ? I don't think real musicians like Prince feel a strong pressure to play their music and especially their solos exactly as they appear on their albums. I think this is a failing of many bands. Too many play their songs live exactly as they are on the album... what's the point of going to a concert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, but I usually buy tickets to see a concert because of a song I heard on XM radio or CD and the sound quality is studio quality. So when I go to concert I dont even recognize the so called hit, I feel really let dowm. So IMHO the sound quality better be close to studio quality or whats the point ? i dont want to hear trash and call it the live version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KG4ZDX Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 That sucked. They should have gone with a Drum and Bugle show. I'm with you on the Drum Corps show. Much bertter music and these folks do it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Count me in the pleasantly surprised camp. His purple rain in the actual rain reminded me of a great concert back in the day at Rich when The Who started playing love reign o'er me and the skies opened up. I always enjoy that kinda schitt!

Marshmallow Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Precisely......Paul McCartney, Stones... Prince??? Seriously, Paul McCartney and the Stones were embarrassing. Completely ruins the memories we have of these guys as kings when you see them as senior citizens trying to be young. They are 40 years past their primes. And despite prince being 20 years past his prime, at least Prince remains culturally relevant. Personally, I think The Police should have launched their reunion kickoff during the Super Bowl, not the Grammys. Sting is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the wireless power is something like a 9v battery transmitter that sends signals to the devices that make the sound. Yes - an open stadium with speakers is not the same as an acoustically-tuned studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - an open stadium with speakers is not the same as an acoustically-tuned studio. I've been to concerts in open air stadiums where the sound is really freakin good. Pink Floyd is probably the best that comes to mind. So the sound engineers can make it sound good if they want. by the way, sarcasm is really unattractive in any form.

No sarcasm was intended - I don't understand what made you think so. I was making an observation. It's heartening to know that sound engineers can improve outdoor sound. How that comes across in a tv broadcast, I don't know. A symphony orchestra in a building designed with them in mind loses something when it's sound gets put out over a television.
