Anyone listening to the FM4 broadcast? Blood Red Shoes were just interviewed and said they share the same rehearsal studio in Brighton with The Cure, and Laura-Mary Carter shared a story of walking in on Robert in the ladies restroom and found him applying his makeup. :)
Unfortunately, no webcast tonight. FM4 (English) are broadcasting live from the festival, but are not airing anything from The Cure tonight, as their broadcast ends at 22:00. Best chance of hearing any Cure on there would be recorded highlights on Sunday or Monday.
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteNo webcast makes me sad though. :-(
There's a user on YouTube by the name of HDconcertsAustria who has put up each song individually..
DeleteWhy they didn't condense it into one video is beyond me..
Bah!
DeleteIt was up there already - that always happens to me!! :p
Lots of friendly artists and friends around The Cure tonight : The XX, Bloc Party, Mogwai, The Dandy Warhols.
ReplyDeleteSeems that they'll have the biggest attendance of the 4 day festival....
it was indeep a great show and you could see a lot of older cure fans. but i have to admit that the largest crowd gathering was not during the cure show (which was fine. otherwise i wouldn't have made it easily to the front row). the german bands jan delay and sportfreunde stiller (typical for an austrian audience) and korn had the biggest crowd. reason: most of the peolpe were between 18 and 30. never mind me and my friends had a great evening and the cure had a lot of fun. If they would have let them they would have played for another hour. i pretty sure!!!!!
Deleteah... and it was not mogwai but moguai (different band)
DeleteThe stage seems ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteArte tv shows a bit of Bestival in 1 mn...
ReplyDeletei am so excited for ireland. just got a b&b 20 minutes from the festival grounds. i hope robert's 'new song' claim is true. cannot wait to see them again!
ReplyDelete22:52 - Jorg: Simon jumping in Open. ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I was reading "NOT jumping" all the time and I was really getting afaid but....ok everything seems to be fine :)
ahaha so you poor guys at the festival had to enjoy Sportfreunde Stiller :D ...yes, they are terrible...
ReplyDeleteCraig, it's your site and I don't have to tell you what to do of some accounts. But you have to know that eric is insulting people when writing in french, typing homophobic quotes and other ugly comments. I personally don't give a fuck but it's probably offensing some fans coming on CoF peacefully. Sorry for bothering you with such a stupid subject.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw it. All been deleted now.
DeleteMaybe you can delete mine too now.
DeleteThank you Craig. I was also thinking how to react on that guy (comment or leave him being ignored) but I think if it doens't work with ignoring such a person, as he wrote on and on and on that style, it better to give him another signal he understands better.
DeleteNow its just the question how a cure-"fan" (a fan of lipstick-wearing male-musicians!) can be homophobic?
Hi all! Huge thanks to Oliver & Jorge! Comments are sparse tonight, so I just wanted you to know that at least one person was lurking and not commenting. Your generous reporting did not go unappreciated. So glad you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteyes, huge thanks from me also! especially congratulations to jorg, who obviously was on cloud nine this evening, as his comments are suggesting :) have a great night, guys!
DeleteYes! So happy for Jorg. As he wrote to me before leaving the show, "2008 I had cancer. Now I know what I was fighting for".
DeleteWonderful!
Thanks to Olivier and Jorg for sharing your experience and hope you borh really enjoyed it. Cheers, mates!
DeleteWow.
Deleteyes i was on cloud nine :)
Deleteit was a very very good concert, and i loved the sound.
cure concerts are special for me, i am at my own world.
and this time, singing " it doesn´t matter if we all die" was very special :)
no solo in the edge of the deep green sea ?!? and jason kill the rhythm on the song that show is not good with reeves again( you dont play like porl reeves ,you can play with the cure go back with jenn vix or david bowie !!!
ReplyDeleteThere was a guitar solo in FTEODGS. Not as good as in previous shows but there was one.
ReplyDeleteJason had sync problems with his metronome but was quickly fixed with the help of Simon too. Robert was the most affected with this as he was keeping the time playing the accoustic guitar.
Gabrel is doing a good job in The Cure IMO.
I too have encountered Erics insolence in the past. He is a tiresome fellow. Eric do us all a favour and take up stamp collecting and direct your full attention to this new hobby, preferably in a forum far, far away.
ReplyDeletei dont thing so gabrel doing a good job! after the summer the end of the cure !!
ReplyDeleteReading is not your strong point. The inability to follow basic instructions is also not high on your agenda. What exactly is your agenda? You provide no insight into anything. Your comments are rambling at best and downright offensive at worst. Just stop.
ReplyDelete"Any chance The Cure will release a new album? - Absolutly not!" Hm. Hasn't he said there will be a new album just a couple of weeks before? Trying to fool us?
ReplyDeleteno MISTER tom@(hahahaha)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...but I'm sure there'll be a webcast for Reading and Leeds show and I guess, it's not just an hour...(fingers crossing). I want the whole setlist on webcast!!!
ReplyDeleteEric...shut s'il te plait.Merci
ReplyDeletePoor old Eric. Nothing better to do I guess.
ReplyDeleteThis show is just a blueprint of the Austria show :-(
