Watch: The Best Prince Live Performances

When the news broke that Prince had died today, it absolutely took over my newsfeed, and I realized that his influence spans generations and genres.

The man was a legend, and while I never got the chance to see him perform live in person, I always loved his energy and pure talent on stage. Here are some of my favorite performances:

1
Super Bowl Halftime Show (2007)
Even more incredible when you get some of the back story on how Prince handled a situation that lesser musicians would have pitched a fit about. (https://youtu.be/7NN3gsSf-Ys)
2
"Creep" Cover at Coachella (2008)
This video went viral last year and I watched it about 20 times. One of my favorite songs, and he covers it in his own style...his skill on guitar is awe-inspiring.
3
"American Woman" cover with Lenny Kravitz (1999)
From the Rave Un2 the Year 2000 concert...another song that I always loved the guitar riff on and these two just slay it!
4
Billboard Music Awards (2013)
An icon, indeed.
