  7. Yay, "Fascination Street" works, too. :) Great "Open" pic, btw!! Is Simon's hair still black? ;)

  8. At least he did last night. He apparently is wearing a hat tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  9. So fashionable, as always! I bet it comes off before the end of the main set, though. :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. MAYBE SOMEDAY! Finally a Bloodflowers song! Wish I was there.

  11. V - I asked Kate to get a shot of the hat but it's already off. : )

  12. @Craig: Hahaha - how did I know?!? :)

  13. I'm already feeling better about things, but I'll reserve final judgment until the end of the show.

  14. How beautiful you are. Maybe they'll do The Kiss too?

    ReplyDelete
  15. It looks like they are changing the setlist up a bit from the Australian shows.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hmm, so much for "The Kiss" in the main set...:(

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks to Kate, Vince and Craig for the live updates. I can't think of a better way to start my Sunday morning than by recreating an "in progress" Cure concert, whilst having my breakfast and reading the Sunday morning paper.

  18. now this is a setlist! damn!!! i think we're in for some surprises on this tour!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Kiss me encore! The Kiss WILL get played tonight. : )

    ReplyDelete
  20. Incredible set list!!!!! I can't wait to see what we have in store for Boston! Sorry I keep yelling!

    ReplyDelete
  21. JPX - Just don't type in all caps! : )

    Freakshow takes lead off spot in the second encore. That's different.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes, please do not turn into JP "All Caps" X! ;)

    *wondering what is next...*

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm hoping they took out Lovecats and Let's go to bed so they can add 3IB and Fire in Cairo to the 3rd encore.

    Or if they just want to do the Faith encore, that'll work too. : )

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes! Keeping our "Boys" theme of the day going.

    ReplyDelete
  25. the cure will play tonight
    HALO,
    2LATE,
    TREASURE,
    THE UPSTAIRS ROOM,
    BIRD MAD GIRL
    AND PIGGY IN THE MIRROR....

    UNFORTUNATELY THEY WON'T PLAY THEM EVEN IF THIS NIGHT WAS THE LAST NIGHT BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD...I'M HAPPY FOR THE ENCORE BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'M SAD BECAUSE MY WISH NEVER WILL COME TRUE...I KNOW...IT'S JUST A DREAM OF MINE...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Holy shit! That's the set I want for Vancouver!!!!

    Awesome, I was hoping Robert would not stick to the Euro set list. All the MUST do songs:

    Open
    Fascination Street
    End
    If Only Tonight ...
    The Kiss

    Bonus Maybe Someday. Hopefully, Robert does the "Philly Set" in Vancouver rather than the "DC" set.

    ReplyDelete
  27. And further continuing the "Boys" theme... :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ram, Halo is one of the best Cure b-sides ever and I'd love to hear it live, but I can't complain about this set list (so unlike me).

    ReplyDelete
  29. I am bouncing off the walls after seeing that: Open, Fascination St and End have been "resurrected".

    I re-iterate what an awesome set list!

    Can't wait for May 26th

    ReplyDelete
  30. The less I see and hear of Fascination Street, the better. It's not a bad song at all, but it's massively overplayed, like From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea.

    Oh, and I liked tonight's setlist, though I'm hoping for even more stuff to make some appearances. A Faith or Pornography encore wouldn't be unwelcome.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I've never been a fan of Fascination Street, but this is just a terrific set list.

    ReplyDelete
  32. 'Fascinating' comments ...

    IMO Fascination Street is maybe the greatest rock song ever recorded.

    The bass line is about as catchy as a bass line could be. And the layering of the guitars is song arrangement at its best. The thing that is special about Fascination St is that it creates such a mood/vibe of mystery and eerieness. The live version from the Toronto Curiousa show is amazing.

  33. Thank you to Craig, Kate, and Vince for all of the updates! Even though I had to spend my Saturday evening at work, I kinda feel like I also got to go to a show. :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Fascination Street is a very nice song, but I agree it is overplayed. IMHO, it is not even The Cure's best rock song ever recorded...

    Thanks Craig and everyone else for the live updates. It is terrific.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I saw them in Paris & London, the set-list of Philadelphia is fantastic...Entering with "Open"...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Fascination Street is BOOOOOOOOOORING. Always has been always will be. And that's a fact. ;-)

    It's a good setlist, but not ideal, IMO. I'm getting really annoyed at the lack of BF stuff. They always pull that shit. Sure, they did MS, but do more! The title track, OOTW, Where the Birds, There is No If, Last Day of Summer, LOUDEST SOUND... hot damn those songs are good and Robert just ignores them.

    In Atlanta, we need: Holy Hour, Figurehead, BF stuff, Kyoto Song, Want, Club America, Jupiter Crash, Labyrinth, B43, Lost, and then lots of other Faithy/17/HOTD stuff.

    If I don't get my requests, I will renounce my Cure fandom and start stalking Clay Aiken.

  37. PS Open sucks. Bring back Want and Lost!

    ReplyDelete
  38. i have a video i need to upload

    ReplyDelete
  39. ::puts clockwise in a headlock and starts giving a noogie::

    Take back what you said about Open, or I'm going to start giving wedgies and swirlies! :P

    ReplyDelete
  40. But I LIKE wedgies!

    Can't take it back, cuz it's da TRUTH, RUTH!

    Want is worlds better as an OPENer, as is LOST.

    I'm hoping in ATL they play The Holy Hour as opener, though. I would DIE DIE DIE!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Late post but I'll have to say I loved every minute of this show. The Cure were great & on fire. What a perfect night. I only wish I could go to more shows on this tour!
