K, thanks.

So, as we were saying....gets dark in Dublin around 9.30.

Can't see Prince starting later than 9.

I would imagine ther's a "curfew" around Croke Park and concerts have to be well finished before midnight.

The tickets say:
gates 5 pm show 7 pm. So unless the pre-gig will play for 2 (ok, 1 and a half) hours... My guess he'll start playing earlier.

Event starts 7-7.30ish then we have B'Witched for an hour and ManZone performing for a bit.....chortles

Seriously,should think its around 8.30 - 9 pm for the MAIN EVENT and then 2 hours ish of hits 4 THE LAST TIME(yaddayadda) and by the end it will be plenty dark for the lightshow and the SPECIAL FIREWORKS someone once mentioned was happening.....

Have 2 start the day with a smile don't cha!!!!

RIPGODAZIPPER said:

Tee hee....but will be interesting to see the support act.

By the way, bring good shoes for walking after the show; Dublin transport is crap.

are there any real rumours about who support might be???

i would expect him to be on stage no later than half eight. i doubt if they will wait until it's dark, although it would be better if it was.

eireboy34 said:

So,if I bring the PURPLE people carrier,there would be a EURO or seven to make on dodgy lifts to strangers around a city I don't know....CHINGCHING

Point noted about shoes,NIKE'S on order!!!

my favourite bass moment has to be from the aftershow on the 6/09 at the end of 3121 i still remember mike philly 'come on prince play the bass' he was so funky that night it has to be one of my favourite aftershows

b3xy said:

thats right...even at the main shows at 02 there was a chant from everybody and that made prince even more funkier
was it sonny T who taught prince bass?
i remember seeing an interview where sonny said that prince idolized him.

irishwolfhound said:

That sounds great. He truly is an artist... excuse me, THE artist

irishwolfhound said:

I really don't care for the Twinz, their schtick is getting kinda boring.

I wish he would ditch last years band and get a new one. No backing/back up singers like Shelby J who try to hog the limelight and I got heartily sick of Marva King's awful caterwauling screeches, she completely destroyed several classics during last years 21 Nights In London.

I would also like to see a change in bass player and drummer, he needs better musicians plus those two have about as much charisma as a stale old piece of bread.

I'd love to see Rhonda back, she was cool and an infinitely better musician, I don't know why she left or if Prince did want her out why that would be, she was great.
