ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Prince helped close the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas by performing some of his biggest hits on Saturday (March 16). The veteran singer played for over three hours with a 22-piece brass band. The crowd, made up of Samsung Galaxy cell phone owners, rocked out to Prince classics including "1999", 'Purple Rain", and a cover of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". All four founding members of A Tribe Called Quest opened the show by performing rap hits including "Can I Kick It", and "Bonita Applebum."
