Best Super Bowl Halftime Show

[Captain Morgan]

Prince wasn't bad, but no one will ever top U2's show in 2002.
Opening with a current hit, Beautiful Day, with lyrics about
how beautiful things were "after they flood", then during the
hymnlike "MLK" the giant screen with the names of all those
who perished in 9-11 a few months before unfurled...as the
names continued to rise, the opening chords of "Where The
Streets Have No Name" rang out....

You can hear Bono praying "Oh Lord, open my lips, so that I
may sing your praise"...

The rhythm section kicks in and the place is beyond electric..
Near the end of the song, Bono, a frequent critic of US foreign policy, changes the lyrics to "WE go there with you," and opens his vest
to reveal the American flag inside....

The drama was unreal..the country wasn't even sure how to
hold an event like the Super Bowl after that tragedy..and in a span
of about 12 minutes, the bombastic arrogant Irish rockers took
America through a healing process that left many in tears.


Prince wasn't bad, but he wasn't good. I'd have like to have seen
Garth Brooks to this year's show.

if you like plastic ones. I agree with the Capt. the U2 one was an all time fav and I really wasnt expecting it to be that good...Bono can get old fast

Captian, you hit on my favorite nerve, U2. Seen every tour since 1989. Own every CD. Prince couldnt hold Larry Mullen Jr's drum sticks, IMO. Go Cappy! :cheers

 

[Greg Rempe]

That was great! U2 is AWESOME live!

Larry Mullen couldn't hold Prince's guitar (rhythm and lead), bass guitar, keyboards, horns, music writing, singing, dancing skills to name a few...and the list goes on...poor choice of pointing out deficiencies, Gator.

By the way Larry Mullen couldn't hold Neil Pert's, John Bonham's or Lars Ulrich's drumsticks!!

 

[gator1]

Oh WTF...PRINCE? The purple boy? Please tell me you dont think !@#$ or whatever his symbol, is better than perhaps one of the top 5 selling bands of all time? O jeeze, Im gonna die. Little Red Corvette? Prince? I'm throwing up on my keyboard. :roll:

 

[Greg Rempe]

You are missing the point...but most do!

 

[Puff1]

Who is Larry Mullen :?:

It was intentional since I would never utter Purple Boy on the same sentance as...well you know.

Puff, Larry Mullen is the drummer for which Neil Pert, John Bonham and Lars Ulrich carry drum sticks. Just kidding.

He is the one on the right, drummer for U2.

I bought "Boy" by U2 when I thought they were a cutting edge , cool, "new wave" band. I am definitely in the minority on this one, but I think EVERYTHING they ever did sounds basically the same! I appreciate them, but I find them quite boring and mundane! Now, I have just discovered Tool. There is a GREAT band! I'd like to see them doing "Sober" , "Prison Sex," or "Crawl Away", at the SB halftime show!

ps. I don't usually listen to lyrics much so, if U2 are one of those deep, poetic bands like the Doors (who I also find boring), that would explain why I don't like them.

We also find you boring and mundane
