Charlotte filmed by HDNet

Last night's show was being filmed by multiple cameras for HDNet. No idea where this will end up (Robert?), but lets keep fingers and toes crossed that it will be released unedited. Please? We all promise to buy 10 copies each. : )

    My guess is that it will be mixed with the Paris show to release a double DVD live of the 4Tour, as Paris was missing a critical mass of new songs, they're now in the box !

    A mix of the European and US leg of the tours makes sense !

    (And yes, I'll buy a couple of this too !)

    Cat...if they broadcast the Carlotte show, I will be mortified! Screaming, sweaty and 13 years old again?

    And Greg (bf) was like, "Oh yeah, and it's in HD, so your armpit will be all up close!"

    Uggg!

    OH WELL! PRICE we pay for being Cure-dorks!

    The Cure are incredibly amazing and the way they release one's emotions is something that cannot be explained...

    Cat - don't worry about shrieking like a freak - how cool if it was immortalised forever!!!!

    When The Holy Hour came up on COF - holy crap - I was sooooo excited for you. To then get the whole Faith encore - mindblowing.

    You rock girl! I hope it has been recorded, you will look like a true fan! Better than someone sitting in their seat cos it's not JLH!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Clockwise CatJune 17, 2008 at 9:28 AM

    well, i don't think my shriek when holy hour came on was recorded - it was mine and anah's crazy yelling at the end that was on film. whether they use it or not is a different story.

    the people next to me in the 3rd row sat down for much of the show. WTF... they livened up when JLH was played, and danced and sang, but then sat back down. at one point they left but then came back. they were standing for the faith encore and i think i even heard the girl gush a little bit about it, so i don't know if she was mesmerized because she loves faith songs or because she had never heard them and was awed...

    my guess is the latter.

  36. altr2eliseJune 17, 2008 at 9:30 AM

    From this side of the world - it kills me that there are people at this concert that don't appreciate it for what it is. As per your review - there are fans that dream of that set list.

  37. Clockwise CatJune 17, 2008 at 9:36 AM

    elise, the crowd at these shows is just a weird mix of casual and die-hards and everything in between. but i don't understand having 3rd row seats and sitting down most of the time. to her credit, the girl looked a bit tired and security asked her what was wrong (apparently nothing), and they (the girl and her bf) were truly nice people, allowing me to stand in front of them because i was CLEARLY more into the show than they were - but yeah, whatever. i don't quite get it.

    We'll give her the benefit of the DOUBT then. Maybe she was sick..... and they did let you go in front, so they must be good people.

    I was hoping to win the lottery tonight so I could meet you in NYC, but alas, it was not to be.

    I don't get it either why people go to concerts & just sit/stand there with no emotions like a wet dish rag but hey whatever floats their boat.

    Maybe she was sick. I've had it happen to me at a show too but I fight through it! But did I pay for it the next day!

    It's funny to see the hards getting wild for every song and screaming their heads off. I lost my voice both shows I went to!

    Then the people who like the cure but might no know everything or the new stuff but are still standing & cheering along.

    Then the casuals who go wild & crazy for the pop stuff but when something dark comes on they will say “Is that a new song, I really don’t like it.” or got out & grab a beer What The Fuckever?

    Not that I'll likely get an answer with any info - but I just wrote the folks at HDnet to see what info they could provide!

    Thank you to Cat for the wonderful review - man am I jealous! I posted a request for the Faith encore in Houston on the Cure's official site. I am glad somebody got it - and that you guys got to see it!

    Let's hope that if HDnet broadcasts the footage they got it includes at least the first encore!

    The Sunrise gig was exceptional. I was very fortunate to be able to attend, and to do so in the company of three lovely friends. However, I wish we had been special enough to Robert -- as the Charlotte fans obviously were -- to get 'Underneath the Stars' and the 'Faith' encore. :'-(

    For those of us who can't attend multiple shows, it's very frustrating to know that, were it not for home/job/school/financial obligations, extraordinary and often rarely-played songs would be ours for the taking. But let me dwell on what I got rather than what was kept in the treasure chest. Good for Charlotte. I hope that NYC gets VIP treatment as well.

    I won't hold my breath waiting for the Charlotte recording to be made public, but if it is released, and if I've not fallen prey to a disease of old age in the interim, I'm there, the millisecond it becomes available.

    But i want to watch the Cure in pristine HD quality, and Blu-ray is the only game in town. It's to bad we're nearly 10 years into HD television sets being in our homes... and NO MATURE HD disc content available yet.

    T-dork: I am so sorry you are bummed. I really can't complain. Even if I didn't have MSG on Friday, I would feel more than fulfilled. I have seen 12 hours of Cure shows and witnessed a vast variety of songs, from Figurehead to the Kiss to the Faith encore and so many delicious others. I have stood close to the stage at every show and gazed into Robert's dreamy magical eyes. I have ogled Porl in tight leather pants scorching away on his guit. I have drooled over Simon's wee wee in his PHTs. I have been mesmerized by Jason's drumming!

    I have been a very lucky person this summer. One I will never forget. I wish more of you could have shared it with me, and I am so glad you and I, T, got to share that magical Florida show and the infamous erotic Bob/Si smooch. HOT HOT HOT!

    I'll stop wallowing in self-pity soon enough. I'd be a lot quicker to do that if Craig would tell us that there's reason to hope for another tour in the not-so-distant future.

    Yes, Craig, that is way more than a subtle hint. If there is reason to be of good cheer, and if you can say something without violating a promise to a source, I think we'd all be very thankful for even a modest tidbit.

    Hi, kitty! It's good to see you here!

    I've gotten beyond being a sullen crone-child; going to my figure drawing class tonight left me diverted and grounded; being creative is almost always a good tonic, and so it was tonight. The spell is gone, and so are its aftereffects. :-)

    The UTS vid also helped, as will getting the record and, if we're lucky, a release of the Charlotte show.

    Craig, I feel rather like an annoying insect, flitting in and asking questions, but I'd still like to know if you think that we'll get a tour, limited or otherwise, around the time the record is released. I'm not at all confident that it will happen; I say that because Robert seems to be the only one who is really, really into performing. I'm thinking that the others just want to get the fuck home to their families. Perhaps I'm full of shit. If so, please advise.

    wow, but I would love to have this on DVD... Blu-Ray... VHS... I'll buy whatever equipment I need. Fantastic! :)

    I got some pics of the show if you guys are interested. Just me and my little camera... nothing fantastic, but good memories for me. :)

    Tx, Craig. I'm guessing that there will not be a full tour, but perhaps a few shows in major markets. Okay, that's enough ersatz soothsaying on my part, at least for the time being. ;-)

    7bluestars---Well it's good to see you out of the funk! So you're taking a life drawing class. Sounds interesting. My sister is an artist but she never liked the life drawing classes. Maybe she wasn't into drawing nude people??? LOL!

    Two weeks from now, I'll be taking a fused glass class for 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to it. It will help me keep my mind busy learning something new.

    kitty, I must admit that the first time we drew nudes, I was a bit nervous; I feared getting caught glancing at someone's bits (which of course we had to draw). Fortunately, I was fine after the first session, and now, it's just part of the routine. My course was 4 nights per week for 6 weeks; our last class is tomorrow night, and I'm already in mourning. :-(

    Your class sounds like a gas. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
