his performance started out just as i expected: overblown, speeding through hits and inexplicably- covers of hendrix, ccr, and foo fighters. with the 2 annoying dancers and the marching band, i was just about to give up on him.
then the stage turned purple and he launched into 'purple rain', my favourite song by him. he ripped on guitar, and seeing him singing the 'ooh' part at the end of the song while the rain was pouring down was just perfect. that song always moves me. possibly one of the best songs i have ever heard...
