Prince performed at the Super Bowl XLI halftime show in Miami, Florida on February 4, 2007.

His performance consisted of three Purple Rain tracks ("Let's Go Crazy",
"Baby I'm a Star" and the title track), along with cover versions of "We Will
Rock You" by Queen, "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan, the Foo
Fighters song "Best of You" and "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Then, on the same date in 2010, Billboard.com ranked Prince's halftime performance at Super Bowl XLI as the greatest Super Bowl performance ever.
