A late show tonight, and another 3 hour one. The Cure are scheduled to play from midnight - 03:00. In the US, that's a start time of 7pm eastern, 6pm central, 5pm mountain, 4pm pacific.
Note from Roger on Twitter: "Ok just got a report from my tech and everything sounds fine in the keyboard department. Sorry Bilbao… Tonight will be perfect I promise. For those technically minded, appears that some shielding had come off some of the cabling and interference probably from lights caused a hum. Thanks to our totally amazing crew,
There might be a webcast/broadcast tonight from RTP, though I haven't seen any mention of The Cure being webcast. This page has apparently been broadcasting from the festival, though it has never worked for me, and looks like it might be region locked ("for rights issues, the issuance of this web program is not available")? They also say they are broadcasting on RTP1 and RTP Play. Will update when more is known.
Update from hg: "It didn't work for me yesterday, but try this other link later (their facebook). Note: yesterday on RTP they said they will show The Cure webcast.
Also, RTP Play seems to be broadcasting whatever is on RTP 1, so this might be the place to see a webcast if it happens. And checking the RTP 1 schedule does show an Optimus Alive program from 23:53 - 00:56. So maybe the first hour again?
Update: The webcast is working here. Just showed the Here We Go Magic set.
Update: I just asked Everything Is New TV if they'll webcast any of The Cure tonight. Answer: "Yes, absolutely Craig". Now confirmed by RTP, too - One hour of The Cure live webcast tonight!
It didn't worked for me yesterday, but try this other link it later: http://www.everythingisnewtv.com/ (their facebook: http://www.facebook.com/everythingisnewtv).
ReplyDeleteNote: yesterday on RTP they said they will show The Cure webcast.
Thank you so much for your help with this! Really hope we can all watch some of it.
DeleteAny help I can give you, will never be enough to thank you for your great great blog. True.
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThis link seems to work but i don't know if it broadcast The Cure :
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rtp.pt/play/p912/e87545/optimus-alive
dawn this is not direct but on demand ! sorry ;)
Deletei hope tonight the keyboard fuck! kick out the keyboard of the summercure (roger) and but perry back with the band on keyboard and guitar with porl/pearl ,like wish tour 1992-1993
ReplyDeleteif you want the same lineup, you will need Boris
DeleteHehe.. you understood that? Something about a keyboard f*cking?
DeleteIt seems it's being blocked outside Portugal, even these sites that offer online TVs are displaying the same message (due to copyrights etc. etc.). It might work with the use of a proxy for those that know how to set it up (good luck trying to find one from Portugal that is free and works...).
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with these trolls living in the past?
Working here - http://www.everythingisnewtv.com/
Deleteworks fine here too, thanks
DeleteSpoke a bit too soon - it's not working with Chrome, but works with Firefox.
ReplyDeleteWorks with Firefox for me, and just tried Chrome and it works for me too.
DeleteIf anyone is having trouble with it, they say to make sure your Flash player is updated.
And now... FF isn't working, error #1088 or something (same error in both browsers). Hopefully it's just a connection error... flash is updated here.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing to do is just ignore him.
ReplyDeleteI will, I promise.
ReplyDeleteThe Cure is on RTP Optimus now :)
ReplyDeleteAnd everythingisnewtv.com now :)
Delete(the RTP Optimus stream keeps freezing)
everythingisnewtv.com now is working great... sounds great.
ReplyDeleteWTF.... is that just my computer bleeding in other sound.
ReplyDeleteIT WAS... F-ING ITUNES.
DeleteIt seems quite low tempratures in portugal, robert is wearing kind of sweater. maybe an occasion to play Cold!? =)
ReplyDelete14.7 °C

ReplyDelete'til now the same setlist as in Milano (Heineken Festival) a week ago...
ReplyDeleteno links working here :(
ReplyDeleteHigh very nicely played
ReplyDeleteah dammit. those xx, were just a test, and i failed. i don't like how people get these posts if they google my name. i give up. back to lurking )
ReplyDeleteGreat voice tonight!!!
ReplyDeleteAre they playing faster tonight?
ReplyDeletefaster songs = more songs in 3 hours :)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteFair enough!!
DeleteDon't think so. They have click tracks and pre-recorder stuff. It would be hard to rearrange all half-through a tour. But i know what you mean! I think it's the rush to see them "live"!
DeleteHAVE WE GOT MINT CAR YET THIS SUMMER?
ReplyDeleteYes. :)
Deleteyes 5 times, maybe this is the first time on webcast
Deletealso here:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.facebook.com/RadioComercial/app_365277486877890
anybody has same problems that the webcast stops when you don't move the mouse for a while? Any chance to change it?
ReplyDeleteWEBCAST IS REALLY CHOPPY FOR ME... KEEPS PAUSING.
Deletesame here
DeleteI have the same problem, don't know how to fix it unfortunately :(
DeleteMe too! :(
DeleteOk MNT CAR is amazing tonight, wow.
ReplyDeleteYeah, never thought I'd enjoy Mint Car as much as I have on this tour.
Deletewow what an end on mint car!!!
ReplyDeleteGuys, pro tip... left click on the video and click on "Stretching is".. until the image is no longer streched !!!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT click, sorry
DeleteThank you so much! View is so much more pleasant now :)
DeleteReminds me of the Just Like Heaven video as it is...
DeleteThanks!
DeleteAt last a webcast that gives Revees a fair share of volume!!!
ReplyDeleteWhooooa Reeves got louder on that JLH solo!
ReplyDeleteNext Song... PLEASE... FIGUREHEAD!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteDamn, the keyboards make such a difference. I love this lineup and Robert's voice is better than ever. Fuck yeah!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more, Debi. We need some US shows this year, with this lineup.
DeleteFrom the edge ... Now Reeves takes control!
ReplyDeleteThe sound is simply amazing on this webcast!
ReplyDeleteYes, i really hope somebody is recording the streaming with the right image ratio, the right sound encoding, and without so much ff***n streaming cuts as i'm getting. I really want to watch this again on youtube or vimeo!
DeleteSo do I, the sound is just amazing and of course the performance for the band :) For me it helped to constantly move the cursor, I get almost no streaming cuts now
DeleteWonderful webcast: the lights, the smoke, the wind, the music and the voice...
ReplyDeleteRobert keeps talking about getting old and stuff in interviews...
ReplyDeletebut this Cure lineup could kick any other year's line up in the ASS! :) :) :)
Yeah, I see much younger bands who don't give half the effort The Cure put into each show. And I'm talking a 70 minute set vs. 180 minute set.
DeleteJust don't do the massive, months long tours that are so draining. Play fewer shows, but make each one the best you've ever played.
I want this SummerCure in South America, in south american summer. Robert please forget all the problems you had in Argentina and come back!!!
ReplyDelete(i'm not even from Argentina, i'm from Uruguay but asking them to come here is really too much hahahahah)
It's so brillant! Why always only 1 hour...
ReplyDeleteREEVES JUST TORE THAT LEAD UP... BRAVO.
ReplyDeleteReeves is complete synch with Robert. Damn
ReplyDeleteWell that was pretty fucking awesome. Reeves totally Killing SDWAY
ReplyDeleteMost definitely. Pro
DeleteI think you meant From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea. :)
DeleteYeah, I love what Reeves is doing with this now. Don't care what anyone says, I love his take on this.
Very smart move by Robert to call somebody like Reeves: keeps everybody else on their toes
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing as I think of someone reading this comment. :)
DeleteI have the webcast on my pc and on my tv without volume there is High video...
ReplyDeleteWell, with Trust i send a hug to Perry...
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite moments on the Dream Tour. Perry putting on his headphones and joining Roger on keyboards for Trust. Damn, I miss him! And the Dream Tour, too.
Deleteand Roger just making Trust more beautiful than it already is. Man I don't want this webcast to stop......
ReplyDeleteThat keyboard is most definitely working !!In Roger we Trust!
ReplyDeleteRoger was playing the hell out of it last night! So nice to hear it back to full strength.
DeleteDon't tell them that an hour is passed...
ReplyDeleteshhhhhhh hahahha
DeleteHi JC! Maggie made it to the rail.
ReplyDeleteD
Maggie ALWAYS makes it to the rail..x
ReplyDeleteShe's actually contemplating not to in France, but I think she's just tired.
DeleteShe put me to shame yesterday with her stamina...and i am talking walking around Bilbao :)
DeleteOk Robert's voice in Want was outstanding. Those high notes were hit
ReplyDeletefor f**ks sake don't kill this webcast on the hungry ghost!!! PLEASE!!!! Such a wonderful song...
ReplyDelete(thanks primus guy!!! hahahha)
DeleteOh my God, Jason....
ReplyDeleteHe's been pretty awesome on this tour, hasn't he?
Deletestill broadcasting here:
ReplyDeletehttp://media.rtp.pt/blogs/optimusalive/?page_id=328
Did they kill the broadcast????
ReplyDeleteNot here: http://www.tvtuga.com/optimus-alive-2012-direto-2/
Deletebut I think they killed the other
ok, its over. best webcast so far this summer, due to sound AND band. They really set new bounds tonight.
ReplyDeleteStill going here http://www.tvtuga.com/optimus-alive-2012-direto-2/ others all dead I think, unless this is slightly delayed?
ReplyDeleteThey killed it at the start of Bananafishbones, noooo!
ReplyDeleteWhen Reeves plays a solo Robert smiles like "I knew this lad would have kicked ass" ...
ReplyDeleteAnah here, after a long time away (Hi Craig/Cure Peeps!:) Lovely while it lasted though! TY C for all you do...
ReplyDeleteHi Anah! Thank you. It was a great show last night. Really enjoyed it. I thought they sounded fantastic!
DeleteIt was great to be able to stream it and link it up to the big TV with surround sound. Very nice! I adore them, each and every one; and Reeves really is fantastic. I had no doubts about him joining the Tour.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteA part of me dies every time transmission ends...
ReplyDeleteSame here. I start watching the clock, dreading the minute they pull the plug.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThey have broken up for the first time in this Summertour the couple Wrong Number/One Hundred Years...
ReplyDeleteThis main setlist's final is PERFECT: PFT, A Forest, Primary, OHY, Disintegration
ReplyDeleteYes! Get Wrong Number out of the finale. Or completely out of the set, would be fine with me. :)
DeleteDon't like that song ? It's a fucking good electro-rock track and it sounds fantastic on this tour especially with Reeves but also thank to Jason who is playing his best tour ever.
DeleteAgreed. The studio version of Wrong Number is only so-so, definitely not one of my favorites, but this tour has totally changed my opinion of the song.
DeleteI think I'd like it more if it wasn't played at every show. Maybe switch it out with Cut or Never Enough or something similar.
DeleteBut, no, can't say that I've ever really liked that song.
Wahoo! Thought they had more time for more than BDC. Unreal.
ReplyDeleteA Cure Tour without 10.15 is not a real Cure Tour...
ReplyDeleteYes! Finaly punk encore!
ReplyDeleteYeah! 10:15 Saturday Night and Killing An Arab!!! These are my real favorite Cure songs...Can't wait for the videos!!!
ReplyDeleteJust came back from the concert. Great one. Great mood. It was my last one for this trip. Now i have to come back to Brasil.
ReplyDeleteWere 4 concerts! Since milan. Great ones! The cure for ever!
I missed everything today, and couldn't record! :/ Hope someone else got it and posts it up soon! Miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteRev :) See you elsewhere though!
DeleteHey Eric I heard that Reeves was gonna stay with the Cure forever because he loves being talked about on the internet! Cool huh?
ReplyDeleteI'm having a great time watching this bitchin Cure lineup play what seems like the most consistently cool run of gigs since 2002 or before. Feels like a winning situation to me!
ReplyDeletewas webcast one hour or more?
ReplyDeleteA little more than an hour. Think they went over by about 10 minutes maybe?
DeleteSorry for being an absentee last night. The last few days had taken their toll on me and I almost fell asleep at my desk while waiting for The Cure to start. So I decided to sit this one out. Sounds like it was a great show, I hope you all enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteMissed it all again as flying back from Vegas. Still at least they played Just like Heaven many times in the Palazzo Casino as I lost more and more money.

ReplyDelete50,000 attendees in Lisbon. And about 677,000 so far. I don't how the llast festivals tickets are selling but as Nyon is already sold out and Carhaix about to sold out, The Cure will have gathered about 900,000 people in 19 shows... one of the 3 biggest figures in their carreer.
ReplyDeleteConcerning the last song, after watching the video, I'm pretty sure Robert sings "another". Especially during the first verse, where he'd normally sing "at the Arab on the ground", he's clearly making an "o" sound, as in "other".
ReplyDeleteI hear Another at the beginning, then Arab at the end. But I'm really not sure. Hard to tell with everyone singing. But pretty sure it's Another in the beginning. Which really disappoints me. :(
DeleteThe new videos make it clear...it's "Another".
Deletecraig fuck you fag of roger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that intelligent contribution, Eric.
DeleteThanks, e. Love you, too!
DeleteWe all love you. And we love your doctor more and more everyday.

ReplyDeletehello The Cure fans! the Lisbon show was great! I watch them for the 6th time, but yesterday I was for the first time very near to the stage. I took some great photos and made a few vídeos. enjoy ;)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK_gcQ_KjyY&list=UU2SgE2NfxRM2kCT6Nt7OorQ&index=1&feature=plpp_video
For me was arab since the beggining!
ReplyDeleteI really can't tell. I hear both, depending on when I'm listening. I think I might be crazy. :)
ReplyDeletewill they ever get Mint Car right? :)
ReplyDeletelaughed so much listening to it just now, they so nearly got to the end too
definitely "another" all the way..
ReplyDeleteI concur. Judging by the "Reflections" concerts, I thought that Robert had decided to stop doing that. Apparently not.
DeleteYep. After hearing the latest videos of it, definitely "Another". Very disappointing.
Deleteavec plaisir nico:)
ReplyDeleteRoger was still in Lisbon yesterday (sunday) to see their friends Warpaint at Alive Festival. The rest of the band was already in England, he told.
ReplyDeleteSo here it is the excerpt I did of "The Same Deep Water As You" in Lisbon. Didn't film it all because I really wanted to live the song.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/pesjUPVw1RU
I donn't understand why Robert said they haven't played 10:15 Saturday Night alive in 15 years. Was that a joke? I really thought, for seconds, we would get a very rare song. :)
"I don't understand why Robert said they haven't played 10:15 Saturday Night alive in 15 years. Was that a joke? I really thought, for seconds, we would get a very rare song."
DeleteThe same with me. When he said that I started to think "Here it comes... a big surprise". It was a surprise, but... am I crazy or I heard that song last november in London?!
Tiago, foste tu que estiveste a descrever os acontecimentos durante o concerto? bom trabalho ;)
ReplyDeletepela foto que deixaste, estavas perto do palco. eu fiquei mesmo em 2ª e depois em 1ª fila em frente ao Robert. tirei algumas fotos e gravei a Just One Kiss que até ficou bem.
abraço
