Prince shreds up the ‘SNL’ stage in an epic, electric eight-minute performance

Prince made his first appearance on the “SNL” stage in over eight years last night, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Wearing triple-lensed sunglasses (a nod to his all-woman backing group 3rdEyeGirl) and that effortless Prince cool, the Purple One shredded his way through an epic eight-minute performance made up of a medley of four new songs – “Clouds,” “Plectrum Electrum,” “Marz” and “Another Love” – from his latest studio albums “Plectrumelectrum” and “Art Official Age.” It's a damn impressive performance, and no doubt the most rock 'n' roll thing you've seen on the show in quite awhile.
