I met someone who saw me at the monday show. Her name was Amy. She saw me in the front row the night before and asked where I was sitting for tonight's concert. I said, "Front row again!" as I pulled the ticket out from my pocket. <br />My seat was dead center which was three or four seats from where RS was. I must have stuck out as a sore thumb. I was the only one wearing RED. I wore my Russian hockey jersey...the same one RS wore during the Gone video. The crowd around me was singing and dancing unlike the first night. There was this girl sleeping on her mom's leg!!! I have NEVER EVER seen someone actually taking a nap during a Cure show. That didn't stop me from having a memorable time. We got to hear three of the first albums straight through. It was almost like three different concerts wrapped into one. I was surprised to hear people's comments about not enjoying this historic and unique show. I think we as Cure fans get spoiled by 3 hour plus concerts. This was a special show everyone...not just for us hardcore fans...They were for the fan that maybe haven't heard these songs either on cd or live. I remember when I heard 100 years and Piggy in the Mirror live in concert YEARS after they were released. We all and I mean ALL of us started listening to The Cure at different times. If the casual Cure fan appreciates and likes the songs like say Doubt, M, and say Grinding Halt, then I think we gain another loyal Cure fan. Maybe I'm overthinking this alittle. However after reading people's reaction prompted me to respond. How fortunate we are to have witnessed this type of concert!!! Thanks to everyone around me singing, dancing and soaking in every second of the amazing experience. I had to go to work at 2am...only three hours after the concert. I'm STILL tired. But, I WOULDN'T trade going to two shows IN THE FRONT ROW for the world. I even watched some videos from the two shows on youtube. I always wondered what it would be like to see someone as enthusiastic as I am...now I know. I can now go online and experience The Reflections concerts and see how truly happy I was during the show. Life is good. Time to catch up on some sleep.

I was young and the only things that i remember is from the first gig being on x and seeing the band leave in a van and playing soccer on a lawn next to a venue before the gig. cut to 2008 and a reluctant me going to the hollywood bowl for that amazing show and a reluctant me going on tuesday:<br /><br />the show was exceptional! great sound. great vibe. almost too much to absorb at once! days later i am still thinking about it....great show and truly a rare and special nite for those who made it. go if you can, you won't be disappointed. truly, a once in a lifetime experience. <br /><br />(vids @ youtube.com/justinwagnerdotcom<br /><br />cheers!Justin Wagner-Visual Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337851735420355463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-26899028612474484242011-11-25T07:29:28.674-06:002011-11-25T07:29:28.674-06:00Craig!

And I'm not surprised there were people at the shows who did not know much about the 1st 3 albums. I talked to a customer of mine today who went Monday night and he was disappointed the Cure did not play Friday, Lovesong, JLH & close to Me. When I explained to him the shows were from The Cure's 1st 3 albums, he didn't know most of the songs on them. He thought this was a Greatest hits show!cure_kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080479419910823601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-25762684265630440522011-11-23T18:20:07.543-06:002011-11-23T18:20:07.543-06:00Having been there Monday night I will say that I t...Having been there Monday night I will say that I thought the security there was amazingly light.

.......Very interesting poin...Peeling Grey said... <br />.......Very interesting points. But, I think the concert experience will always have its surprises. It's a bit unrealistic to expect people (generally those you have never met) to abide by your expectations. <br /><br />I have never been to a show where everyone was so mild mannered. In addition some of the best ones were those shows where a majority of the crowd or at least my section were enthusiastic......Not obnoxious, but just very into it....On or off key. <br /><br />So why not just stay home and keep it in the privacy of indoors? Simple: Part of the concert experience is the comraderie shared with fellow fans....Maybe ones you have never met. In addition it's just not the same on TV for obvious reasons. You're watching electrons and not real people. I could make the same argument to watch it on DVD for the more mild mannered spectator as well. What you perceieve as "missing out", I perceive as embracing the band....It's love towards The Cure or any other group with a die hard following. <br /><br />You're absolutely right when it comes to both not being equal....But, that's the risk of getting into a room with a bunch of other people you do not know....Enter at your own risk I suppose. It's like expecting everyone to be a good driver when you are on the road :) <br /><br />I feel the "if everyone did it" stance is irrelevant because it goes back to my original point; Everyone is different and that scenario would never play out. And even if it did happen that everyone was shouting I guess the entire room would be happy anyway! lol...All things would be equal.Peeling Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901796137060873873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-8121782097451888762011-11-23T16:51:14.261-06:002011-11-23T16:51:14.261-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Peeling Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901796137060873873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-74608561783391177642011-11-23T16:10:08.953-06:002011-11-23T16:10:08.953-06:00@Peeling Gray, it's not equal. One person'...@Peeling Gray, it's not equal. One person's way of listening quietly doesn't obstruct the enjoyment of others trying to hear the subtleties, while the person who wants to sing DOES. Unless you get the verbal consent of every single person that can hear you, you're putting those that don't want to hear your singing in a tough situation. The hypocrisy of those who want to make noise is they only want it to happen when they do it; if everyone exercised that behavior, you'd not hear anything very well at all; it would be a stream of singing and shouting and yelling throughout the show, which begs the question, "Why go see the Cure at all? Why not just stay at home and hear yourself?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-62046533879165866842011-11-23T15:47:55.875-06:002011-11-23T15:47:55.875-06:00@Peeling Gray Yeah, but a film is the same every s...@Peeling Gray Yeah, but a film is the same every single time you see it. A concert will only ever sound that exact way once, so it's even more important to be quiet. Furthermore, hearing someone else interferes with the subtle differences.

For one it's not nearly as loud as a concert.<br /><br /> People have various takes on embracing the music and taking in the experience. Granted, I don't enjoy someone being obnoxious, but I can appreciate a crowd that really sounds like they love being there. <br /><br /> To simply observe a Rock concert is for some while others will verbally and physically engage, and I am one of those guys :) I do not think there should be shame in either respect.Peeling Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901796137060873873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-35654108489992013502011-11-23T14:53:27.738-06:002011-11-23T14:53:27.738-06:008PM sharp8PM sharpPeeling Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901796137060873873noreply@blogger.com
