Prince's Super Bowl Halftime Show Was The Greatest Halftime Show Of All Time

'Purple Rain' in the rain!

It's safe to say Prince's Super Bowl halftime show was the greatest halftime show of all time.

During Super Bowl XLI in February of 2007, the music legend took the stage to perform "Purple Rain" and "Let's Go Crazy," as well as some covers including the Foo Fighters’ "Best of You" and Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower."

And of course, besides singing seven hits, his memorable outfit and guitar solos in Miami's Dolphin Stadium, Prince performed his entire set in the rain. How appropriate.

The 57-year-old singer was found dead in an elevator his estate in Minneapolis on Thursday.

Watch the full performance (sorry in advance about the quality) in the video above.
