    I'm betting it will be released on DVD/Blu-ray by the end of the year. But by whom, that's the real question.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure they could find a distributor if they really want to. Interesting days ahead of us. : )

    For this concert, THE CURE, back with the mythical line-up, Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson and Jason Cooper, has performed the songs that created their success, but also new titles from their forthcoming album exclusively.

    "Mythical line-up" makes me giggle. :)

    Do you think they were trying to say MYSTICAL line-up, v? That would at least make some degree of sense, as compared to none at all!

    Slightly off topic but why why why havent The Cure played Glastonbury in 14 years??

    jono... because michael eavis said he never liked the cure and was never impressed with their glasto performances ,, roberts mentioned a few times about this ,, took umbrage at eavis' commets i guess

  21. BeauJune 29, 2009 at 6:49 PM

    Ill never understand those comments by Eavis, I think theres more to it than that because why in that case did he book them to headline more times than any band ever? I think something happened in 04' because The Cure looked sure to play, I have read they were actually booked...maybe they were set to headline the ’Other Stage' but Robert wanted mainstage or maybe they wanted a bigger curfew window and and it rubbed Eavis up the wrong way......

    I certainly hope this show makes it onto dvd this year..hopefully with the full show intact. :) BTW, can't help wondering if the "Samuel" who sent this in is Robert's nephew who came over last summer. :)

    CRAIG!!!!

    4.5 years later and THE CURE & BLINK-182 are still all the buzz. check out this latest interview Tom DeLonge did with Tony Hawk.

    RE - GLASTONBURY

    I think I read somewhere a few years back that Michael Eavis wanted The Cure to play more singles, or more of a greatest hits set. If The Cure were like any other band out there (yawn) and ended on their most well known hits i.e. Boys Don't Cry, Love Cats or Friday I'm In Love then Eavis woulda been more responsive I think, but they ended with Cut in 1995 (the last time they played there) and I think it was a bit of a flat end to their set to those who only knew the hits, especially since they were closing the festival that year on the Sunday.

    I would love it if The Cure were asked back to headline though, but I feel they would need to sacrifice the epic 8 minuters of One Hundred Years and Disintegration. The response they would get from the crowd if they did kinda do more hits would be in their favour, I just think their longer more epic tracks lie a bit flat with the casual Cure fan crowd, especially in a festival environment.

    People were saying that Bruce Springsteen's set on Saturday kinda bored people for the first hour until the hits starting seeping through - he played for 2 1/2 hours and overplayed by 8 minutes resulting in Eavis having to pay a £3000 fine.

    If The Cure got 2 hours to headline at Glastonbury the set list should look something like this (going by what they have done over the last couple of years and what would work at a festival, but at the same time demonstrating the bands ecclectic musical variety)...
    1. Plainsong
    2. Fascination Street
    3. Pictures of You
    4. A Strange Day
    5. If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
    6. Love Song
    7. Lullaby
    8. The Hungry Ghost
    9 To Wish Impossible Things
    10. Push
    11. Inbetween Days
    12. Just Like Heaven
    13. Friday I'm In Love
    14. The Figurehead
    15. The Hanging Garden
    16. Primary
    17. A Forest
    ENCORE
    18. Fire In Cairo
    19 Jumping Someone Else's Train
    20. Grinding Halt
    21. 10.15 Saturday Night
    22. Killing Another
    23. Boys Don't Cry
    24. Love Cats
    25. Close To Me

    THE END

    Whilst there are plenty of off topic topics - can I let all the good people of CoF know that I am a Daddy for the second time. My daughter, Aimee Elise was born on Friday 3rd July and is so wonderfully, wonderfully pretty!

    On topic:
    I can't wait for the uncut, extended directors double DVD cut of the Paris show!

    Off again:
    The Cure are the only band that would tempt me to Glasto - and it would potentially take all three days to get to the front of the crowd!

    Congratulations, Robert! Hope mom and baby Aimee Elise are doing well. Can we safely assume that the Elise part was influenced by the song? : )
