Hi everyone! The last show, I can't believe it. I think I'll be crying pretty soon.
ReplyDeletejpx- good idea!!! lol
ReplyDeleteRah! Rah! TCU!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: When they play the adagio as an intro, is that a recording in the background or does The Cure play it?
ReplyDeleteThe Adagio is my favourite classical piece, but I've never seen the cure play it. In one show that I saw , they had the William Orbit version in the background just before the band went on stage.
kj - perfect way to describe it.
ReplyDeletethrills, screams, and over before I want it to be
ReplyDeleteHi Henny !!
ReplyDelete:)
OOTW to open...nothing fits tonight more!
ReplyDelete"Always have to go back to real life..."
God, I know I"m going to have post-Cure depression tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHeeHeeHeee- I guess that sounds like other things I enjoy : )
ReplyDeleteMad Bob :)
ReplyDeleteListening to Adagio from Shrine - chills as the crowd cheer for the band obviously coming on stage.
ReplyDelete*heart slowly breaking*
hi jenny!!!! I'm crying too!
ReplyDeletewe should have lk an annual meeting here once a month :)
ReplyDeleteJPX:
ReplyDeleteI'd put:
-Lament
-The Caterpillar
...oh so many more...
Uri - it's a recording.
ReplyDeleteOOTW!!! YAY!
ReplyDeleteSara - once a month - why not once a week?
ReplyDeleteOut Of This World.
ReplyDeleteThis is it...
Elise - I'm playing it, too!
ReplyDelete(hug cure kitty & elise)
Yes,Craig, OOTW goes in red marker !!!!!
ReplyDelete*and the tears flow*
ReplyDeleteURI: It's a baking tape that plays them onto the stage.
ReplyDeleteThis song makes me cry...
ReplyDeletethats exactly how it started at the houston show, so far :)
ReplyDelete*hugs Jenny and CK*
ReplyDeleteThis brings memories of the Dream Tour... I traveled to London to see it. Cost me a fortune.
ReplyDeleteWe should start a thread somewhere where everyone comes up with their dream setlist for a three hour show and people rate it.
elise---hugs back and a big box of tissues too!!!
ReplyDelete:( Why does it always have to end?
ReplyDeleteOH, can i join to the "crying when i listen OOTW club" ?
ReplyDelete(embarrasment grin )
When we look back at it all, as I know we will......
ReplyDeleteUri - there is a thread like that at the myspace group.
ReplyDeletehttp://groups.myspace.com/curecraigandcofrule
Uggg. I dont want to cry!
ReplyDeleteMadbob - I'd be disappointed if you didn't join us
ReplyDeleteMad Bob, don't be shy! (smiles with tears in the eyes)
ReplyDeleteAnah - it's inevitable
ReplyDeletemad bob - i added ya on myspace
ReplyDelete*crying over pint of ice cream*
mad bob---boys do cry at the last cure show of the tour!
ReplyDeletehi guys! i'll be popping in and out through out the night, we are entertaining a guest tonight and have to bring him out to dinner so i'm going to miss part of the show!
ReplyDelete*hands everyone special LTD. Edition Cure tissues* lol
ReplyDeleteWant!
ReplyDeleteCK - nice!
ReplyDelete..But real lives are why we stay
ReplyDeletefor another dream
another day
for another world
another way
for another way...
Anah, Lament, definitely!
ReplyDeleteOne last time before it's time to go again
ReplyDeleteI want the sky to fall in!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen this tour is over, if you're not my friend on facebook & myspace already, I'm going to add you!
ReplyDeleteCOF peeps need to keep in touch!!!
Just got the kids set up with a new Disney movie. I should be good for at least 2 hours uninterrupted.
ReplyDeleteJPX: Lament is my ringtone, LOL.
ReplyDeleteFaith....they HAVE to play faith....they just HAVE to....anyone think theyll play it????
ReplyDeleteI am back. Dinner went relatively quickly. Now I can watch the Cure with the COF gang.
ReplyDeleteCK - that was exactly the reason Fantac set up the COF Geeks group on Facebook - so we wouldn't just go back to real lives and forget our friends here.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I am sure Craig will have threads for us to chat on here :)
you guys are going to laugh but part of wrong number is my ring tone...i happen to like that song and was probably the only one excited when they played it at the concert hehe.
ReplyDeleteAnah, that's cool! I have a bunch of ring tones including Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode - they just lend themselves to ringtones!
ReplyDeletedrink more dreams more bed more drugs
ReplyDeleteI'll need a little bit of all that after tonight to cope with no more cure on tour!
Michelle, I really like the studio cut of Wrong Number, I just don't like it live =(
ReplyDeleteI know this is from the previous page, but after the concert I read Never Enough again for about the fourth time and am currently reading Inbetween Days. I've also read 10 Imaginery Years so many times, I have it memorized.
ReplyDeletejpx: thank goodness someone likes it :)
ReplyDeletei really do like the studio better, but i still like the song so hearing it live was a real treat.
elise---I'm glad he did! I haven't posted on it since I signed up. I can't get away from this place!
ReplyDeleteSara - Exploding Boy put dibs on Faith as the final song when we were talking last night.
ReplyDeleteTo quote - the old school encore ends, long break, crowd going wild, Robert walks back on stage and starts playing Faith!
alt.end
ReplyDelete"drink more dreams more bed more drugs"
ReplyDeleteMy life...
"grooving to Want from Altlanta show"
ReplyDeletecan y'all hear it??
Fear of Ghosts is my ringtone. Hey why don't they play that one more often!
ReplyDeleteohhhh lol i must have forgotten.....lol i hope hes right...that would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteBTW _ Exploding Boy asked me to send his love and to say have a great time.
ReplyDeletealt.end? Cheesy double clap anyone?
ReplyDeleteOf course i´ll join ELise & Henny.
ReplyDeleteFrom 9th may to today it´s been a excellent experience for me.
I want to know that i made new Cure friends, i consider to every single of you as my lifetime Cure pals.
I hope everyone consider me as a friend too.
It´s very hard time for me, no easy to put on words all this time mean to me.
Thanks to all of you made it possible, Craig, COF Kittens, COF Tomcats and the rest of you, i swear i´ll always remember this time as the closer to a Cure Concert.
It had been more than amazing share with all of you this chats and everything.
I feel very lucky for have been part of it.
Thanks again to all.
¡¡¡¡ CURE & COF FOR EVER !!!!
Excuse for start becoming emotional.
(.......Tears........)
Just the other side of the door
ReplyDeleteSix billion beautiful faces
But I saw them all before
No this is not about running out on you
MORE HEAD, MORE LOVE
ReplyDeletefav.
elise - is exploding boy an aussie too?
ReplyDeleteKitty-thats a long ring though ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how Robert tells us a story from the setlist.
ReplyDeleteAw mad bob that is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLong live Cure Friends!
alt.end got me through many longruns when training for the chicago marathon in '04. didn't have an mp3 player at the time and just had to rely on the regular radio when running. luckily, XRT in chicago played the crap out of this song.
ReplyDeleteDJ - yep, Exploding Boy lives here in Perth, but we actually met at the Adelaide concert ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, mad bob that was really nice ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish my ringtone was Perfect Girl or 2 Late. I have an iphone and I don't know how to change from the defaults w/out buying songs again and again and again and again and again.
ReplyDelete*hugs Madbob*
ReplyDeleteThe Baby Screams
ReplyDeletebernie--the ringtone only lasts 15 seconds.
ReplyDeletemad bob and elise-- it is cool to have international friends like you {hugs}
ReplyDeletechristopher, do you have garage band?
ReplyDeleteyou can import the mp3 and then save to a ring tone from there into itunes...
Mad Bob: <3
ReplyDeleteHeaven, give me a sign!!!!
ReplyDelete(hugs Mad Bob)
ReplyDeleteMichelle - what is garage band? Besides the many bad cover bands from my past.
ReplyDeleteLove this song. HOTD was my first "tape".
ReplyDeleteKJ - I feel the same way about all my 'international' buddies
ReplyDeletechristopher: it's a music editing software for the mac
ReplyDeletetake it all
ReplyDeletetake it all
and strike me dead...............
anah - 'tape' - oh those were the days! But I always bought the album, then copied that to tape - that way if the tape broke I could re-record it ;D
ReplyDeleteHOTD was the first album that got me into Cure. After the hits, that is.
ReplyDelete*dances with CK*
ReplyDeleteThe End of the World
ReplyDeleteI've been moping all day. First my drawing class came to an end (I picked up my portfolio today), leaving a great gaping wound in the process, and then I kept thinking how close I came to being at this gig. AFS would have had me weeping from the first note or two, and anything from 'Bloodflowers', particularly the title song, would have re-defined the word 'bliss'. *sigh*
ReplyDelete*7bs needs a hug*
I still have a bunch of Cure tapes!
ReplyDeleteaww maadbob :)
ReplyDeletealtr2elise, and tape broke so easily! I can't tell you how many times I would take out the little screws to fix the damn ting!
ReplyDeleteshacking my booty..............
ReplyDeleteAnah - it is a very sad story that Robert is telling us tonight
ReplyDelete*hugs 7bluestars*
ReplyDelete*Hugs 7*
ReplyDeleteCat... :)
Michelle - Unfortunately I have an Iphone but not a Mac. Do they make a PC version or something similar?
ReplyDeletebells has no wine but a big pot of tea to toast with.
ReplyDeleteterri, i love you and feel your pain. we were going to go together. that sucks!
ReplyDeleteI still have all my Cure cassettes including Carnage Visors, which I still think blows.
ReplyDeletehere's to new friends *cheers*
ReplyDeleteelise-- I did the same thing. I drove my 94 volvo to the ground and just replaced it last month.I had self-made Cure tapes in the console til the day it retired 6 weeks ago Woohoo for my 6 CD changer now.
ReplyDeleteahhg, ok, my guest has arrived so we have to go out to eat, enjoy the show, hopefully i can get back on here later!!!
ReplyDeleteHi 7bluestars----we've been crying all night so far!
ReplyDelete*tackles Cat in a bearhug*
ReplyDelete*gives 7bs an all-enveloping hug*
ReplyDeleteTapes - I had a copy of Disintegration that got messed up and played backwards. I think Robert was really singing, buy CD's not tapes.
ReplyDeleteIt does appear that Robert's choices have a common theme. PErhaps he'll end the show with "End"?
ReplyDeleteElise: :(((
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm sad, I am also very happy that the 4tour happened.
hmm christopher, i'm not really sure what kind of software you can use if you have a pc :( i don't think they make garage band for pc or something compatible.
ReplyDeleteLovesong
ReplyDeleteMichelle, don't leave!
ReplyDeleteJPX: LOL! I don't have that anymore, and sure as hell I wish I had kept my In Orange VHS!
ReplyDeleteAnah - but he still loves us!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone! I'm sad the tour's ending... etc. etc. Actually, no. Let's be honest here. I'm in total denial about it.
ReplyDeleteI should be cleaning, but I'm here with you.
I see that there is another Michelle here... this could prove to be confusing.
bye michelle---we rather have you here but enjoy your dinner.
ReplyDeletebefore the tour ends - i have to know - 80's kids, what do you recommend for teased hair?
ReplyDeletei am trying not to cry. when will they come back? ever??? never??
ReplyDelete*feels keen sense of post-cure show traumatic stress disorder*
I still have my Cure in Orange VHS! I actually saw that when it played in the theater!!
ReplyDeleteI can help you with that, cat.
ReplyDeletei asked earlier but got no answer...does anyone suspect they'll show up at a festival this summer? any rumors out there yet?
ReplyDeletejpx - aaah, i hate you! my generation gets hannah montana! travesty i tell you.
ReplyDeleteTeased hair?! 80's kid? LMAO!!
ReplyDeleteWell, A comb, a dryer, and a strong ass hairspray.
dj---Aqua Net hair spray!
ReplyDeleteMy Show VHS tape got destroyed by of all things, my cat. VHS tapes are a bit difficult to find these days.
ReplyDeleteCat - I can feel the on-set of PCTS kicking in.
ReplyDelete7bs - I'm still sending out good vibes to the universe for the Wishful Thinking tour next year! COF Kittens hit the road in 2009
Good point, dj! Are you listening to Girls Night Out right now? =)
ReplyDeletedj, how'd you get so cool? You must have older siblings?
A Letter To (Our) Elise : )
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, Yellowallpaper, about summer festivals. How can they NOT play a festival at this point?!
ReplyDeletePCTS.
ReplyDeleteSigh...
I had show & orange too but the tapes broke after to many time watching them! Robert please please release on DVD!!!
ReplyDeleteOMFG!!! I didn't even hope to dream this!
ReplyDelete*bawls*

ReplyDeletek bye guys sorry i have to go for a while :(
Chris is awesome...
ReplyDelete*hugs Sara* check your email :)
ReplyDeleteI should have gone to NYC totally... I'll regret that forever
ReplyDeletepeeps, it has been so much fun chatting with you virtually and from the gigs. ya'll all kindsa rock and roll. i am so sad not to be at rcmh but feel sated, in a sense, by all the shows i WAS able to attend. but, as anah wisely noted to me in charlotte, it's "never enough" cure shows. they are the most addictive band in the universe and i wish they would "never fade."
ReplyDeleteHi Paul:)
ReplyDeleteBye M.
and every time i try to pick it up
ReplyDeletelike falling sand
as fast as i pick it up
it runs away through my clutching hands
kitty - we have a can of extra strength aquanet (the purple can), and its 85% full. ITS OLDER THAN I AM. im afraid to spray it because i might die lol
ReplyDeleteshit! where was i during atlanta?? they played other voices!! thank you taper.. hope they play it tonight
jpx - actually, the song mentioned above. and im the oldest! i spent my very early childhood watching alot of MTV.
paul - we so shouldve met at san jose~! oh well, next northern cali show, eh?
Hey Michelle, don't change your beautiful name! :)
ReplyDeleteI see that you type in lowercase. Our typing styles can tell us apart!
Hi paul! I regret not going too! Crying once again! :(
ReplyDeleteAww Cat: <333
ReplyDeleteNope, I don't have a lump in my throat!
*hugs Chris* *grabs another handful of tissues*
ReplyDeleteDj, so basically you're just a cool chick!
ReplyDeleteThey really NEED to release Orange and Show in DVD. Wasn't there a plan for releasing them in 2008 or something? :/
ReplyDeleteAquaNet ExtraSuper Hold Unscented, a metal comb with fine teeth close together-- plastic will not do it. My hair was to my butt back then. Given my natural Texas passion for "big hair" and being a Goth before we knew that is what we would be called-- I KNOW big, teased hair. I'll have to post an old photo sometime
ReplyDeleteThe big Hand!!!
ReplyDeleteanah, u rool!
ReplyDeleteso many cure memories/mammaries... honestly the best part was meeting lusty femmes like myself!
Bruce Willis is...shiny.
ReplyDeleteHe always looks so...shiny!
let me tell you something (as if someone cares)
ReplyDeleteIF the cure tour again in 4 years or whatever I will be at many more shows... I'll follow them around way more than this time, fuck it I'll put it all on a credit card if I have to, you only live once (except for reincarnation... but I'm only going to fun cities
Big Hand!! HORRAY!
ReplyDeletecat :) I feel the same way!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the hugs and good vibes! It was very sweet of you to care! :-*
ReplyDeleteI do so hope we get a chance to meet and do a gig together. Being with Cat, dsc, and Corrine made my Sunrise experience extra, extra special. I can only imagine what it would have been like had we been, say, a COF platoon or something. ;-)))
Robert is our Big Hand, LOL.
ReplyDeletethe big hand.. stuck here on the completely opposite shore.
ReplyDeletejpx - i feel i have the reponsibility to expose my siblings to good music =)
as for festivals - i know 65dos is playing a french festival next, maybe more european ones, i dont know. i will ask them if the cure are inviting them to open up for some other shows, maybe same festivals?
Paul K - you can join the CoF Caravan. I'll be coming over from Oz especially!
ReplyDeletedj scribbles - we'll meet up at the Cure cover band show... the Curse. I go to those
ReplyDeleteOh and Paul - I've pencilled it in for next year! I don't wanna wait for 4 years
ReplyDeleteT-Dork, you're my main Cure squeeze - I adore you!
ReplyDeleteThe Big Hand!!!
ReplyDeletePictures Of You
ReplyDeletePhoto posted
I love TBH!
ReplyDelete*whimper*
We should be there!
Cat, we must hear 'Bloodflowers' together!
Elise you mean a bus caravan, you know like where a bunch of us charter a bus and follow the Cure around and stay in cheap motels and split all expenses. Yep that's so what we're going to do alright..... and dont think that we won't because we are
ReplyDeleteok ok it's settled
Hey Gang!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Big Hand I remember getting my bootleg of the Town and Coulntry Club Pub Gig and just dying over that song played it over and over and over...
Hey Gang!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Big Hand I remember getting my bootleg of the Town and Coulntry Club Pub Gig and just dying over that song played it over and over and over...
but when the big hand speaks
ReplyDeleteit's like fireworks and heaven
...
and when the big hand sings
it's like fireworks and friends
dj--don't use too much Aqua-Net, it will make you hair super stiff unless you want it that way!
ReplyDeleteI swear it's going to be like Grateful Dead Tour.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gothpunk.com/howtos/big-hair.html
ReplyDeleteCraig, you are perfect. I love your quote from OOTW. Too fitting, and yet worryingly so. :-(
ReplyDeleteHey friends-
ReplyDeleteLonnnng time cure fan. and hello Craig from long ago...sent you pix during the Swing tour from Dallas and ABQ (Gary and Todd). Went to the MSG show last night with my 9 year old daughter Elise. Her first Cure show (and not her last). She had a smile on her face the entire way through. Greatest feeling in the world to share the band you love with someone you love even more!!!!!! A dream come true for me. Great memories last night and many more in the future!
Paul---- NO! We will rent a tour bus style motor home with the windows darkened, and make people wonder who WE are when we are dropped off at the venues.
ReplyDeletePaul - that is exactly what I mean!
ReplyDeleteBig hand...such a beautiful song. (sniffs)
ReplyDeletePOY... *weeping*
ReplyDelete@Cat :-*
May we find ourselves loving, lusting, rocking, and screaming at another gig before the year is over.
T-dork, I will call you soon. I have just been so busy (obviously - LOL). I want to tell you all about the show!
ReplyDeleteYellow: That is hilarious. You know Robert's is just a huge mass of tangle (and a mini-ponytail now) that he never takes out....
ReplyDeleteT, absolutely!
ReplyDeleteHi Gary! You named your daughter Elise. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Gary! Your daughter's name is Elise? What a coincidence ;)
ReplyDeletecraig, chris took AWESOME video last nite, but she says it's too big to send. should i try anyway? or is she right?
ReplyDeletekitty - aye! ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for the link yellowpaper
welcome gary!
Thank You Robert.
ReplyDeletewhat can I say and wish she could have been at RCMH tonight to hear ALTE. But last night was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLullaby
ReplyDeleteIf I have daughters, I will totally name them Charlotte and Elise! (I don't really like the name Wendy)
ReplyDeleteLullaby - sex on a stick!
ReplyDelete
