Sign ‘o’ the Times (1987)

Prince’s Super Bowl half time show is probably my favorite of the Super Bowl performances I’ve seen. I had hoped that this concert film, produced with the hopes of boosting slogging American sales of the album of the same same, would be equal to that production. Unfortunately for me, this was a bit of a drudge and failed to present the electricity of the live Super Bowl experience. The narrative between the songs was a bit silly and distracted from the concert footage as was the decision to include the music video for U Got the Look instead of a concert performance. It’s still Prince though and seeing him perform is still a treat even when it’s one of lesser quality.
