They played for about 3 hours. The songs I can remember were: Little red corvette, lets go crazy, head, dirty mind, when doves cry, mountains, new position, girls and boys, gett off, lets go crazy, how come you don't call me, gold, seven, you got the look, 1999, alphabet st, raspberry beret, I wanna be your lover, I feel for you.
I can't think of the rest. They played the entire songs, not just tasters, like the way Prince teased us at the 02!
There was a great crowed and atmosphere. I letf about 3am coz I was knackered but the party was still goin. The dj played Prince and 80s songs all nite.

Yes Thank U Purple Rain!Myself and iluv2smile where there,and U guys were great!,loved the encores,and the respect u gave the crowd - A great party !!

Hi Thanks Purple Rain and organisers.
I had a great night even when I got my toe stood on and it bled all over the floor I didn't notice until someone told me. Also when we were through in the lounge area just listening (as I couldn't dance anymore) a couple thought the DJ was playing all Prince records they did not realise it was live music until we told them. Then they went and joined in!!!!!
Well done it made the trip worth while as well as the shopping.
Thanks again

Most of the posters have been taken down for obvious reasons! Still trying to find one though.

and yes thanks purple rain, good fun. Whoever was farting in Sin needs to seek medical help though!

Thanks Jimi and the band! And shame on you the mysterious farter! Wish I could have stayed later but Mrs iloveannie told me I had to stop drinking and we had to go home to get our 12 o'clock flight. Next time

[edit]
Apparently Annie thought I had more than 10 pints of Guinness. Seeing as I'd also had three at lunch time I was doing rather well I thought. How I didn't fall down the bloody stairs in Sin I have no idea! [/edit]

Just want to say thak you to Barbarella and co for organising what was fantastic night.

Purple Rain - you were fantastic. My sister and I landed in Dublin with heavy hearts and expecting a mediocre purple copy - we were wrong.

Jimi, Jacqui and the band rocked. Despite the tiny stage they buoyed our spirits with all the fantastic oldies (even P doesn't play some of those any more!) and some brilliant new ones.

The drummer told us they only learnt 'The Beautiful Ones' last Thursday! You would never have known it - it rocked!

Wow - what a night. We were well and truly cheered up. The atmosphere was great and the hits kept coming.

Thank u to the band for being amazing and to everyone that organised it for a brilliant night.

Totally echo everyone's comments, what a great night out! It's all been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster... the excitement and anticipation for months, the indescribable disappointment last week, the agony of driving past an empty Croke Park, then back to excitement and anticipation as the mood in Sin built up waiting for Purple Rain and then a really fantastic party!

The crowd were brilliant, we danced for hours, and we really loved the dirty ones Prince won't play anymore!

Thanks band you saved our week, and thanks organisers for the amazing speed and perfect back up solution!

It certainly was a very nice gig, thanks to all involved in making it happen. The band's got potential and can play.

A big thank you to the band and all the brilliant people i met. What a really good night, great atmosphere. I was there with my brother and I was starting to feel the worse for wear after all the Guinness and Champagne but I survived until about 3am and then I had to knock it on the head.
Once again, thank you all for a great evening.

Those farts were the most rancid thing i have ever smelt!!!
Still had an amazing night though.
Purple Rain were brilliant and it was great to meet them again on our flight home!

Purple Rain were brilliant and nice guys too! We had a great last night in Dublin!

I must admit i wasn't relly looking forward to going to Dublin when i heard the concert had been cancelled, driving past croke park on the coach, moping around dublin during the day time drowning my sorrows with guiness, but we thought we would give the sin bar a go. We have a great time, people were all very friendly, band were amazing, nice to have a good moan with other p fans about cacelation, just wished i hadn't drunk so much though! thanks purple rain for cheering us up.

I know who you mean! I was there with my mate Nick (blond, glasses, white '21 nights' t-shirt)

Although he has the capacity, on this occasion he's innocent!! We were with a couple of other people we met earlier in the day - Alan, you know who you are - RANCID! Hopefully Carrie's pics will clarify (Carrie, I've sent you a note)
