    alt.end is a bit of a wildcard isn't it? Wouldn't have predicted that in the set.

    knew knew knew they'd open with Lullaby but what was the point in alt.end??? Fascination Street shoulda been thrown in at least!

    But with 30 mins what can you do? It was classic 3/4minute pop Cure all the way.

    Bet Friday I'm In Love, Close To Me and Boys Don't Cry got the biggest responses from the celeb crowd.

    Pretty sure they played 'End Of The World' and not 'alt.end'

    Robert sounded SO good and was very dance-y.

    CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO COME..

    RSx YOU´RE THE BEST EVER..


    Great to see CURE-COF friends over there.

    Have a good time. Enjoy it.

    Has somebody clue of what´s CURE playing tomorrow ?

    I think they will open with UTS and after that, a maybe hard to predict setlist and encores.

    Hi CoF peeps! I am SO sorry that my email went south and I wasn't able to do updates. I still have 16 messages stacked up on my phone waiting to send but I don't have any energy left tonight to troubleshoot it. The guys were amazing, they sounded wonderful and the energy was great. The pit was very very rowdy and we got crushed up against the rail, but no complaints. I think if my email had been working then, I would have not been able to text as we were so squashed together in the pit. Elise reckons that perfectmurder was a perfect gentleman for helping her out during the raucous dancing, and says thank you so much JC!

    I promise that I will try to get some more pics and the rest of the commentary from the show off my phone tomorrow before heading out to the O2. I understand there's also some video from the balcony on my camera as well but haven't had a chance to see it yet.

    It was brilliant to meet everyone and I am so sorry we had to move the CoF meetup from the pub. Hope to see everyone at the O2!!!

    Cheers,

    Rev. Heron

    OMFG what an amazing experience. Started out second row centre in the pit - and ended up front row centre by the end.

    The crowd were great, right up until the Cure started, and then the puhing and shoving began.

    Thanks SOOOOOO much to Perfect Murder (the perfect gentleman) - I think he saved my bacon a few times :-)

    After the show, the COF peeps attempted to do some stalking, Caterpillar Girl managed to get Jason's autograph - but there was no sign of the rest of the band.

    So after 14 hours of standing yesterday, the plan is to do it all over again for the O2 gig tonight.

    BTW, Craig - I'm working on Vegas! I have tickets, just have to convince the hubby. If only I could organise a WoW convention for the same weekend, then it would be a given.

    Just a thought that occured to me regarding a post on this site last week..someone(can't remember who) said RS looked fat on Jonathan Ross's show last week...Standing the closest i could have got to him last night, i can categorically say that he does not...(those things don't matter to me but i felt like getting the record straight)..i would say it was the tv that made him look that way...also, from seeing him from a balcony before the show..he is not follically challenged at all..unlike me :(

    Hi All,

    I was responsible for the typo, Alt.end instead of End of the world. How embarrassing?

    I texted it in after the song had finished and for some reason I put that. Sorry for the confusion!

    Great Comment from Tim Burton !!!!


    Burton then added his tribute.

    "I just wanna say when I was chained to a desk, and I was fucking depressed this music was the only thing that saved me," he said "I just want to thank you for inspiring me."

    Accepting the award Robert Smith thanked the crowd declaring: "Thank you so much, This is very different to singing! Thanks to the NME. I'm flattered. Thanks to Tim Burton, him presenting makes it all that more special.

    "I'd like to thank the band. Simon, Jason, Paul, thanks for sticking with me for 33 years. And thanks to the fans, for buying the records, coming to the shows. If you've had half as much fun as we have it's been worth it."
