between the weather, the electronic failure risk, slip and fall risk, timing, and the millions of people all watching live, prince was certainly a man on a wire that night.
This iconic, superstar performance of Prince and the My Guitar Gently Weeps performance with Tom Petty Gave me the feeling that this guy was so superhumanly talented that it felt he could not remain on this Earth with us mere mortals formuch longer. So creative.
@@johncollins5552 people close to Prince who have been interviewed since his death said that Prince did not see himself that way at all. He believed he had some raw talent, but he attributed most of his success with lots and lots of practice.
Still the best Superbowl performance
By quite a bit. IMO anyway.
Yes. Without question. Tom Petty was wicked too. Far cry from the cringe karaoke we see every year now. It's unwatchable. Fergie rubbin up on Slash marked the official death of the halftime show.
@@aspalovin yup☹️ pretty much.
Yes, the Superbowl half time "shows" are not what they used to be......... it's funny because Prince and Petty have been my all time favorite performances from the past too☮️
By far!!!
This will forever be the best Superbowl show. BTW its a Hohner Madcat NOT a Tele
Don't apologize for stopping the video so much. We came here for your take on what's going on. If I wanted to see the whole show, I'd watch that version (and have) on UA-cam. You did a fantastic job. 👏
Great analysis Fil, despite the slight interruptions. I distinctly remember watching Prince's Super Bowl performance in real time. What a showman and superior guitarist he was. It was a great loss to the world when he died🎸
The pure joy of this performance and your enthusiasm, Fil, makes this such a fun watch! It wasn’t, at all, too long; it was way too short! Thanks for the reminder of how lucky we were to have been gifted with this Prince!
Epic analysis, one that I will definitely watch again and again not only for the analysis but Fil’s playing along on some of the guitar licks, Prince was a showman and for some people it may have obscured his amazing talent. Perhaps Prince’s genius was easiest to absorb when he was just by himself. His jams during his pre concert sound checks are legendary. From his album Piano & A Microphone is a collection of cassette recordings of his demos with him singing along to his solo piano is a stunning demonstration of his broad abilities.
Yes, this is one awesome example ua-cam.com/video/qp2R5A7tc9A/v-deo.html
(Summertime, on the piano)
In my opinion, this was the best Superbowl halftime performance ever. Prince wasn't a singer like most people today, he was an entertainer and a genius.
Hi man,
this has to be your BEST (Prince) analysis video yet, I loved all 47 minutes of it (they flew by!) and loved all your commentary and even playing along here and there! Keep doing that please.
Us Prince fans love all the little details about his performances and hearing serious musicians like you explaining the many things that non-musicians or casual listeners took for granted or didn't even see or realize before is just fantastic, because of that alone this video is worth watching multiple times.
It seems more and more people are realizing that (overall) Prince was the most talented and complete musician & artist of all time, which is great because it will help keep his enormous legacy and music alive for 100's of years from now. Much appreciation and thank you so much, have a great day!
I got to take a tour of Paisley Park on the 30th anniversary of its opening on September 11, 1987. As the tour ended in the souvenir shop, they had the full Super Bowl performance playing on the big screen. They said it was the only place you could still see the full performance from the night. It was completely mesmerizing. Prince was the master performer. We lost a treasure.
Not entirely sure he’d have been happy with there being a shop. Where there’s a will, there’s a relative. I suppose
@@pifflepockle They said that he intended Paisley Park to become a museum after he passed - and he always sold souvenirs (I chickened out of my change to buy the
Mr. Happy underwear when he was at Pine Knob) at concerts - but you may very well be right. I was shocked at how little they had for sale, but I did pick up my Prince logo ping pong balls.
Yes we lost a treasure and a massive one !!!
Regardless of the hiccups in this video, you outdid yourself Fil. Another good one!
Love watching you so enjoy Prince!
Even with the interruption's it was still a great analysis video , You ROCK Fil
Prince was a stand alone phenom. He was innovative to say the least and IMHO one of the greatest guitar players ever. This is what I love about your analysis Fil is that you always show the level of ability of these guys who could entertain anyone anywhere at anytime.
Jumped back on loved every minute l caught. Yes Prince left an amazing catalogue lots of love here. Thanks Fil. 🐾🐺👍
That Foo Fighters cover is absolutely phenomenal.
Prince is my idol I saw him live 11 times … so had to watch your analysis 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Best Superbowl performance
The guy was phenomenal. Extremely talented.
Really exciting live analysis, in spite of the buzzkill blockers! Loved all your insights, Fil.
Would have loved to be with you live! Yes indeed, a very cool artist! Prince Rocks!
Based on guitar showmanship, Prince, Jimi and Townshend are on another level.
Phenomenal performance from a HUGE talent. In spite of all of the elements this rocked! Great demos Fil! Spot on analysis. 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
One of your finest analysis yet Fil. You absolutely killed it! The sheer genius of Prince has no equals.
I have been to many many concerts classic rock bands...but prince was definitely one of the best. I just loved him. Thx Gina
The production staff expected Prince to fall. Another video shows how hard it was raining. The most talented person I have ever seen is Prince.
You made a great point, that the people were enjoying the performance so much they actually forgot about the football game! Great point!!!
Enjoyed this Fil, thanks for the analysis
Amazing analysis Fil! Enjoyed every second and felt the bond. I miss Prince. Thank you!
The producers lowered Prince’s guitar and raised the crowd’s vocals for the end of Purple Rain, to highlight them singing. You can still hear his guitar, but now it’s lower in the mix. I’m not sure Prince would’ve agreed to that tbh..
Well done, Fil!
Loved this live analysis!
What a star he was, Prince! 🌟
🖤🤘🏽
Best Prince song to look at Prince's vocal range is The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. He goes the full length of his range I'd say in that.
Great deconstruction of Prince's performance.
He was a one of a kind for sure.
That was amazing!
I've heard that he broke a lot of bones from jumping from the stage . Ouch.
Prince is truly a pleasure to watch. Rock!
I have only seen it once, but it is available (or was) available on you tube, the pre superbowl media confrence, where the reporters were expecting the opportunity to ask him questions. He allowed his guitar to do all the talking.
Love it Paul!! ☮️
It was so sweet to see him in concert
Your skills and knowledge are beyond exceptional, Fil. Your excitement about the content is contagious. Of course, Prince is no slouch, either!
Thanks!
The Tele was not a Normal tele those Kinman pick ups always gave amazing tone!!!
I always knew in my heart that Prince was a genius. I just felt it. Thanks so much Fil for explaining why. What a man!
Really enjoy all your Prince-related videos.
I love seeing FAMU marching band!
Great analysis of such an amazing performance.
Best superbowl half time show ever.....just amazing
So glad I saw this before it got blocked. I really wish I could watch this over and over. Fil adds so much information.
For me in Canada it never got blocked.
Prince. There is no substitute. Excellent video Fil
LATE comment: “We Will Rock You” has been a staple of American sports games like football and basketball for decades.
So enjoyed this analysis. Love Prince too!
When people wished him good luck prior to a performance, he would tell them that it had nothing to do with luck, a good performance was all about practice.
That performance is something else.
Prince was amazing at so many things. The only way I understand a small piece of him is I'm a dancer a natural easy for me dancer. To have all his talents, can't even fathom having that brain and ability. It was genius. He was super on the tribute to George Harrison. Never forget he worked his heart out. for those talents to flourish.
Thousands more songs he mostly recorded at Paisley Park still remain to be released, decades of work.
It only stopped at very end.Outstanding analysis Fil!
If I had a time machine I would go back to that stadium and watch Prince live. I love Prince. I have 2 of his albums. 1999 and the legendary Purple Rain.
Sign of the Times is even better, I think it's his finest album.
@@johncollins5552love every song on that album!
I set my reminder over a day ago but had to work when you went live. Got myself a cold beer and I'm ready to enjoy the show. I love this performance! Thank you Fil.
_No other half-time show even comes close. A true genius and I don't use that term lightly._
So I was watching this on my T.V.and it doesn't give you the info I needed to know. So I was right this was the Superbowl performance. I don't really care for football but I turned my T.V. on that night to that Superbowl halftime performance. I don't even remember who the teams were, I just remembered how I was amazed at his performance and the fact that it was pouring rain and he put on this show, which made Purple Rain even more spectacular.
Excellent analysis Fil. I remember this performance. I drove to a friends house who had a media room with a 85 inch screen just to watch Prince’s performance. I could have cared less about the game, I only wanted to see the half time show on that screen. During his Love Sexy Tour he came into the arena in an absolutely insanely huge bed which circles the arena floor. Wouldn’t have been to ideal for the 1/2 time show.
You rock!
Thank you very much for this analysis!! I enjoyed a lot watching it!
Wow!!!!!....🏈🏈🏈🎸🎸👌👌👌👌Exellent and great analisys👏👏👏👏👊🤘
Can I just say I love you!!! This is amazing!! I’ll write a proper comment later 💜💜💜💜💜💜
😂
You're only able to play (paint) out of your head after you have played (painted) from the textbook. It's the rule.
I love hearing your assessment of Prince. My sister has loved him and saw him many times after we took her to the drive-in theater one night and saw Purple Rain. '83?
I enjoyed this, Fil. Thanks! I believe I saw your analysis in its entirety, btw.
Hi Fil. Thanks for this analysis. I really enjoyed it. Prince was a unique artist. Maybe the most underrated guitarist ever? He was amazing, especially live, where his heart would come out screaming through tailor made, beautiful guitars. In this performance, I think they decided for the wireless set mainly because of security reasons.... with all that water coming down, having Prince directly connected to the live power line would be to risky....they probably gambled that the wireless would hold on long enough before it got to wet to function correctly....and it did.... except for maybe the last 30 seconds🙂. I have a request. Could you make an analysis of prince's live version of Radiohead's 'creep'? I have just discovered it and man.... he's like on hendrix shoulders playing those solos....Big cheers and thanks again Fil for all your work
OMG, yes!! Please review 'Creep'. I was there, it was amazing. An amazing guitar solo.
Fil, there's a song where Prince shows his vocal range it's called "Temptation" same as the live performing of "God" in Purple Rain tour.
The best artist and the best analysis. Still impressed. Prince has a montreax jazz festival video. The 1hour and 37 minute one
The one time it rain at the Superbowl halftime show was for Prince and when they talked to him about it he asked if it could rain harder. Noticed We Will Rock You playing at the beginning. It's time they get Queen for the halftime performance.
Love your analyses on Prince!
OMG Fil I see you are a true fan of Prince like me and as I am French first I could never have been able to describe that the way you did I thank you a million times for that analysis and let me for once describe you in that description you looked so passionate in every little segment of the video that I was thrilled to see you commenting the performance of the MASTER PRINCE here.I seen love in all of you and interrupting that so many times made me feel so good and it was for me (short to listen) because I am never tired of you and having 2 of my favourite star in the same time it is a MASSIVE WOW like usual you mastered the description I meant the analysis in every little things you analysed and for God sake it was a thrill of a life time to see you reacting at every little thing Prince were doing both Prince and you Fil are two perfectionist and you love both ,things done perfectly and we could see that from you and from Prince as well let me tell you I passed a moment of grace with both of you as I am fan of both of you all that said logically without being a crazy fan like the ladies we had when the Beatles were live and they were losing conscience no I am very well a rational person and what I seen here tonight is a truly fantastic masterpiece from Prince and Filip Henley to describe all that like it should have been done and for that God I don't know how to end this post but I thank you so very much indeep annnnnnnnnnnnnd Rock On !!!
What an awesome analysis. This was for educational purposes and I learned a lot! I'm all out of thumbs Fil. Thank you.
Well done! Saw it all!
Freddie was a huge fan of Prince, so a fitting tribute perhaps. Also, Prince had to put his own spin on it...We will, we will...rock this joint til the wheels fall off.
Great analysis of a great performance!!!
I don't know about you but i so wish Prince had given us a full version of watchtower. Although Jimi might have been the greater guitarist i just feel that the overall effect of Prince's vocals, musicality and guitar would be the most complete version. One can only hope there's one in the Paisley Park vaults.
Tribute to Freddy ,Tina , Jimmy, Bob , James, and FOO fighters and its Prince allover witha band and guitars solo plus octaves explosion in torrential rain.... Its the GOAT on fire
Prince had a vocal range of well over 5 octaves, actually very close to 6. This performance doesn’t stretch his range at all 💜
Everything he did was a visual and musical experience
I hope everything goes OK with the copyright issues. Really enjoyed that. It looks like there was a sporting event going on, was this a Test Cricket Match?
Almost! Just an understated low key event called the Superbowl!
Normally Prince had his guitar foot pedals up on the stage as well, but I’m assuming with the rain, he decided against having that.
Oh and to answer your question there were no interruption for copyright I think it is in memory of Prince that they allowed you to do that completely...
BY FAR THE ABSOLUTE BEST HALF TIME SHOW EVER !!!!
@23.11 and after is @god mode....i swear is the best in the world
As an artist Prince certainly was up there with the very best and as a guitarist one would have to place him up there with the best. BUT who do people place as the greatest guitarists..
38:41 YES ABSOLUTELY…THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
💜☔️✌️
Prince was pretty good in the movie too.
About the range Prince had, his song "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" shows both ends well. :)
I believe Prince used a Hohner Madcat although a Tele in all but name.
If you see this, can you, or anyone, know what Prince is singing at the very beginning between "We Will Rock You?" Sounds a bit like a chant, and familiar, but I can't place it. Anyone know?
As always, HBCU (Historically Black Colleges & Universities), like Florida A&M are known for their marching bands. For many years, no matter the "star" performing, an HBCU marching band would be part of the show.
This is princes $100' guitar😎
Never a fan of him but I will watch this.
Gravity by John Mayer live please
what position does Prince mainly use on the tele, does he use the bridge position for rhythm and neck for leadas I would or is the middle position used?
Prince was way better than Michael Jackson
The most beautiful girl in the world was probably his lowest notes lower than purple rain also some of his highest notes are in the same song
Prince had a Super Bowl performance rehearsed ages before the event. He had it ready and perfectly rehearsed in case….
The PR solo wasn’t his best tho
I watched it an hour later
O-/+->
wh y songwriters hall of famers dont put Prince in their List? it is a snob thing or what?
19:15 DISAGREE. I've watched all the prince performances out there and every once in a while he goes much lower than a d3
Prince’s speaking voice sounds much lower than yours….it sounds like a bass or at least a baritone.
Always been upset by the mix of this performance. guitar and vocal waaay louder than everything else. Wish we could hear the drums and bass
Wanker.
Rock!
:-)))
Prince is a god.
