Ugh oh - Prince's perm is going to get wet at halftime (Superbowl) .

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

Being a sister, this is going to be something to see. I have always been a fan of his hairstyles and its raining like mad at Dolphin Stadium. :hide:

[ikojo]

1. They wont have a covering over him?

I guess CBS doesn't have to worry about a wardrobe malfunction this year, do they?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

2. He will probably have Jerome from The Time following him with an umbrella .

His Purple Majesty always comes prepared ;)

[graywarrior]

3. Yabut, the humidity!

[Olney Blue]

4. Maybe he can start a "wave"

:)

5. Electric Guitar in the Rain?

I think his hair will be his least worry...

7. They figured out how to ground the chassis of the amps a few years back.

Nevertheless, his guitar is wireless. It's also way up front on Let's Get Crazy, which is a good idea. Playing a good old Tele. Nice!

10. Electric guitar looks to be wireless

They did it at Woodstock 37 years ago...I'm sure technology has advanced just a wee bit since 1969

19. Fun amp facts!

Back in the days of Woodstock, the amps did not have three prong power cords. They had two prong, non-polarized plugs and one side of the AC line was connected to the amp chassis through a .1/200v capacitor. If the amp hummed, you simply turned the plug over or flipped a switch on the amp (if so equipped) that would chane which AC line was connected to the chassis.

Here is the problem: If your PA was a two prong deal and it was plugged into the wall in a manner opposite to how the amp was you could get a nice 120V shock when holdin the guitar as you got close to the mic.

Folks got hurt with this stuff. Just about any old musician will have a story about this.

Whenever I work on an old amp I remove the "death cap" and add a three prong power cord.

6. Just a few more seconds...

N/T.

8. Prince freakin' ROCKS!

WOW! You go your PURPLE majesty (purple is my favorite color, btw).


Oh, it looks like he's wearing a do-rag.

[Gold Metal Flake]

9. A Strat with two pickups?

Single coil at the neck, humbucker at the bridge. Pushed way up front in the mix again.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

27. That is his doo-rag - to keep his hair do pretty.

[2008]

12. the rain really adds to the performance (nt)

[ikojo]

13. From the hard to believe department

Prince will be FIFTY on June 7, 2008!

WOW!

Sure lookin' good at 48!

[Connie_Corleone]

14. Prince tore the place up!!!

That's my man!!

[carly denise pt deux]

15. Purple rain, how fitting

I love Prince...couldn't help but think if he was a little worried about all the electrical stuff he was standing on and handling in that pouring rain. I saw some smoking from the stage, hopefully it was supposed to be there.

18. "Purple Rain.."

Yes, that made the show quite memorable.

(Prince has always been amazing.)

[Left Is Write]

16. No worries...he had a 'do rag.

[Zookeeper]

17. He is such a great performer....

He doesn't hold anything back. Doing that show in heavy rain was almost heroic!

[Shine]

20. forget his hair, I was worried he'd be electrocuted!!

seriously, all that electic equipment and the rain. Not a good combo. Yikes.

Looks like he survived. :)

[Olney Blue]

21. He did, and he was magnificent!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

22. Damn it ! I fell asleep one minute from half time !

Damn it ! I do this everytime !

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

23. You need to watch a tape or TiVo of this, he brought the house down.

Seriously.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

26. I just watched it on YouTube :)

That had to be so damn cool for the Florida A&M University Marching Band to perform with Prince. I don't think anything could top that for those students. If I was one of those band members I would be so hyped up. Good job for those kids :)

[Scarlett17]

25. This is truly why YouTube is a gift from God.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it on YouTube. The show was awesome. The Purple One was incredible and looked amazing--as he has since he covered the walls of my bedroom in the 80s.

[petronius]

24. Forget the hair - how about those dancers in the 3" stilettos on a wet stage?

:wow: I expected a twisted ankle at the minimum...

[npincus]

28. Prince is HOT

he puts the crap that passes for pop stars these days to shame.

What a TALENT, and he hasn't aged since the 80's.

lOVE the Prince-ster.

[southernleftylady]
