I actually held my nose while I was talking to people, it was rank!

(You actually thought you had gotten away with it and you'd never meet those people again and then someone starts posting about your satan-arse!)

I'm Alan aswell. Got a bit scared there for a moment as although I have a reputation for being fragrant I definately wasn't that night!

Just got back home this evening so this is my first chance to comment. WHAT a tribute band. After years of enduring hideously embarrassing Michael Jackson tributes at fan parties I'd grown such contempt for such things, but Purple Rain were just awesome.

The fact that they played some of my favourite songs that Prince himself will probably never play again was amazing. When they pulled Gold out of the bag near the end me and my friends went a bit doolally.

cheers to purple rain

we had a top night

if you fancy playing manchester i have a good venue its just getting people to agree to go and work out a date

Hey,

were u the one who bought me the guiness ?
If so Thanks again.

And a special big thanks to Purple Rain.
You guys ROCK!

If you ever think about going to holland, org-note me !

i made it there in the end too. hehe. fun night. and yeah, like someone else said, the band had no right to be that good, hands up, i was expecting a silly novelty act.

i got a photo of the set list and a few others that i'll post up when i get them uploaded. also got some godawful phone camera video footage that's not worth bothering with tbh.

didn't smell the farts though, lucky me

purple rain - sorry we missed u in dublin. any chance of playing in brighton (sussex) in the future? pleeeeeze x

and me.

Yes, I also just got home! When I heard about that tribute band playing I was a bit weary about it... first of all going to Dublin to see Prince and ending up seeing a tribute band instead and secondly a tribute band trying to sound like Prince! So I initially went to see Iggy Pop, who also did an outdoor gig! When I was on the way back I kinda walked by the SIN club and since a friend was already in, I went in there too... and to my surprise Purple Rain were great! Those guys and girl did a great job and it almost felt like an aftershow (in regards to closeness and the mood of the people)! So we really had a great night after all!

Yeah, I guess that was one of the main reasons I was weary of it and only had the lowest expectations! A Michael tribute would never turn out this great as this Prince tribute!

Thanks to Purple Rain, Barbarella and everyone involved for organizing this!

Also thanks to Barbara07 for the earlier Big tree thing!

Thanks guys - like a few others I was super skeptical about tribute bands but the missus was up for checking you out and we had a really good time and thought you played a great set !!

All in all a top Craic !!

I think after the whole disappointment of the cancellation, I for one was going to make the best of the night. I was over by the bar initially and although people were enjoying Purple Rain, they weren't really getting into them. I'm so glad I made my way over to the front right of the floor, where everyone was just having a great time! Because there was no Prince, there was no starstruck audience standing in awe of the great man (like I usually do!) But Purple Rain were THAT good that those who wanted to 'Get Wild' could - and did!

GONE
