So glad I decided to go on the off-chance I'd get a ticket<br />For a casual fan like me who used to love them in the late 80s/ early 90s it was perfect. And I used to hate Friday I'm in Love but it made perfect sense on a night like this.<br />Glovidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150176354420411385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-1560040858890811522016-12-03T12:52:16.212-06:002016-12-03T12:52:16.212-06:00the boys are back in town! great go!the boys are back in town! great go!rienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605077179661010335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-76662349220274015002016-12-03T10:20:07.891-06:002016-12-03T10:20:07.891-06:00I think Robert will play any song he wants with an...I think Robert will play any song he wants with any given line up. Don't forget how many keyboard-heavy songs they did from 05 - 09 when they had only guitars in the line up. So the line up doesn't the set list. Or at least only in a very diminutive way.<br />Also; Roger adds some stuff (quite good actually) to several songs that originally has no keys at all. The Hungry Ghost, Sleep when I Dead, Never Enough to name a few. So course Underneath the Stars COULD be played. But for some reason Robert has chosen differently.Man from another placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772506603938362008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-29032423179842505462016-12-03T06:32:41.715-06:002016-12-03T06:32:41.715-06:00I don't think he means the current lineup coul...I don't think he means the current lineup couldn't play those songs, it's just that some songs in their original form would have nothing to do for some of the band members. But songs can change, and I think UTS with a few added synth lines could sound wonderful.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252066381687104702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-23509211969621350752016-12-03T05:08:32.172-06:002016-12-03T05:08:32.172-06:00Sorry but thats crap....4/5ths of this line up wro...Sorry but thats crap....4/5ths of this line up wrote UTS...and the guitar lines could easily be played by reeves...as for Figurehead....whats complicated about it that this lineup couldnt play? silly comment<br />Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294534489755289456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-16761423843540273612016-12-03T04:57:47.626-06:002016-12-03T04:57:47.626-06:00PS: I'm looking for a ticket for the last show...PS: I'm looking for a ticket for the last show...my email adress is marco.boldoni@anykey75.com.

She's primarily a Disintegration fan, I'm more into the old school stuff. This would've been a perfect blend of the two.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252066381687104702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-33456274622504272662016-12-03T04:26:09.746-06:002016-12-03T04:26:09.746-06:00Sure, but they can rearrange songs to fit the line...Sure, but they can rearrange songs to fit the lineup. They've played The Figurehead with a similar lineup during the Trilogy concerts. They even soundchecked it once this year. They also played The Only One with Roger a while ago, with an added keyboard line. It can be done, they've just elected not to.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252066381687104702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-16036792611487265972016-12-03T02:42:02.224-06:002016-12-03T02:42:02.224-06:00I was lucky enough to see The Cure in NYC earlier ...I was lucky enough to see The Cure in NYC earlier this year (booked before the European tour was announced, and a perfect excuse for a trip to the US!), in addition to the classic songs being played at most shows I got to hear Twilight Garden, The Hanging Garden, Pornography, Dressing Up & Snakepit live for the 1st time. Great venue, great show.<br /><br />After some concerns after the Manchester hiccup and periodic reports of a voice that was suffering over the last couple of months, night 2 at Wembley was even better!<br /><br />I was hoping for a Disintegration heavy set and that was what I got, Plainsong has to be among my favourite Cure song and that was the opener, and the night just got better and better (sorry, couldn't resist!).<br /><br />A 17 Seconds Encore - brilliant! Charlotte Sometimes - ok, so this is hardly a rare live song but I can't remember the last time I personally got to hear it live - brilliant! And Burn (surely this is the 1st tour Burn has been a regular on the set list?) again was amazing to hear live.<br /><br />Anyway enough rambling... you get the idea, I was smiling throughout, and I'm very happy and still buzzing from my experience of watching The Cure for the 10th time.<br /><br />Cheers Craig for keeping this website updated for me and all the other Cure geeks out there. Much appreciated, until next time! <br />21stCenturyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332093218882435133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-10305039648050858122016-12-02T22:27:40.157-06:002016-12-02T22:27:40.157-06:00Don't know if it's 2Late for song requests...Don't know if it's 2Late for song requests but would love to hear Cold, A Strange Day, and yes, the above-mentioned song.
