U2 Voted Best Superbowl Half time show ever
Its Super Bowl time here in the states and once again the question comes up as to what was the best Super Bowl Half time show. Some would say the “Janet” show now we would not even put that up as a choice but we had been out voted by the people. However U2’s powerful and emotional perfromance on Feb 3rd 2002. The band performed Beautiful Day / MLK / Where The Streets Have No Name , incorporating an amazing tribute to the victims of the September 11th attacks within the show.
After some conversation and of course looking around on the web for other polls heres what we would deem as the top 3 all time great Super Bowl Half time shows . Good Luck “Who” this weekend your going to need it against this list.
3. Diana Ross (Super Bowl XXX, 1996): We wouldn’t have believed it, either. But for about 10 minutes, Ross reverted to her disco-era awesomeness. Somehow she managed to fit in four costume changes while singing close to a d
ozen hits. She ended the performance by being lifted away in a helicopter, and her hair remained perfect - still the greatest special effect in Super Bowl history.
2. Prince (Super Bowl XLI, 2007): While several big-name artists have had trouble adapting to the medley-heavy Super Bowl halftime format (Bruce Springsteen comes to mind), Prince seemed completely at home in the over-the-top glitz of the performance. Drenched by a rainstorm, he played Jimi Hendrix and Foo Fighters covers along with three “Purple Rain” songs.
1. U2 (Super Bowl XXXVI, 2002): Even in the best years, you’re not going to hear “Super Bowl halftime show” and “classy” in the same sentence. But U2 managed to present an entertaining show, and also a respectful tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. The highlight: “Where the Streets Have No Name,” while a video screen showed the names of the fallen.
