Thank U. T'was a battle times, but much like the stories of Brothers Grimm, we killed the big bad wolf (in Rorys case, more than once) and everyone lived happily ever after! Now onwards, the castle is calling. 
Did I read it right that there is a walkway through the pit? Say its true! | |

Sat in gibneys now out in the back garden. Just so you all know, the tribute band don't kick off til 5pm, and are then back again at 11.30. So we'll be heading over to the castle around 4ish to set up in The Pit! Pondering heading back into Dublin to the Pod in the hope that there will be an aftershow - only 20 mins from the hotel. Anyone else in The Hilton on Charlemont Place? ______________________________________

In Duffys now. They're playing Prince hits round the clock, and some old rarities too. Prefer the white leather sofas and cushions (and amazing toilets) ______________________________________

Time for me to hop on the Dart. Latest weather forecast...
Rather cloudy today with some bright or sunny spells at times. There will be rain and drizzle along Atlantic coasts and this will spread inland this afternoon and evening, but the east will stay mostly dry till later with just the odd shower. Top temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees in light to moderate south to southeast breezes. | |

Getting really excited now, just about to start making the trip to Malahide. The only forecast I want to hear about for the East coast of Ireland, is the likelyhood of Purple Rain tonight! [Edited 7/30/11 8:14am] | |

jesus christ! Is there not a happy medium between no soundcheck and 3 hours of it?Prince must be on the snort tonight then
If the sound is bad tonight and the reviews are shit i Prince might just "...because no-one gets there alone." - "...I like the floor. It's the only thing that seems real." | |

A soundcheck commenced at 15:00. with no real songs played until an instrumental rendition Gold was done. Andy Allo sang some lines over a tune. And the intros for both 1999 and Shhh were done.
Finally a few mesures of Laydown was played with Prince, who wasn't on stage when soundcheck began, followed by an unrecognized jazzy instrumental and an instrumental rendition of Musicology.
With people already flocking inside, instrumental renditions of Barbra Streisand's 'Memory' and Thank You For Talkin' To Me Africa (the music of which is used for Only Heaven Knows in the show) were played.
Support act Hypnotic Brass Ensemble was also on stage for the song since Musicology. songs from the sampler set (1999, Alphabet St., Forever In My Life) were also tried with Prince giving instructions. D.M.S.R (several interrupted takes) was played as final song in the soundcheck at 18:15.
Patrons were kept away from the stage and couldn't see what was going on on stage. They were not let into the stage area until the soundcheck was over.
