    V - You will know what I'm hearing in a few minutes. ; )

    On Faith, I don't know. At first, "praise".

    What is that on Charlotte? Another backing tape? Hard to tell with that sound quality.

    Does Porl's patented guitar wankery replace synths? No, no it doesn't. Some songs just sound better minimalistic. (And Charlotte Sometimes hasn't sounded all that good since they switched from the nice warm analogue synths, anyway.)

    my vote is for "nothing left but friends" also, after watching it for the gazillionth time!

  20. CraigJune 18, 2008 at 4:05 AM

    Yep, 99% sure he says friends.

    No DOUBT in my mind. It is definitely Nothing left but friends! Don't know if it is my aussie ear, but I could hear it on the first listen.

    They should listen to / look at the 1981/82 live versions of Charlotte Sometimes and realise it must be played faster... and to be careful with the keyboards (and drums) sounds...
    Charlotte Sometimes is one of the best songs ever IN THE STUDIO! whereas live is to forget

    I think Charlotte is good live, but not great. From my POV, it needs keys. As does PS and a few others.

    Still good in its way. The Faith clip sent shivers! Reliving a perfect moment...

    Nice reliving that Faith moment. Hopefully they show the whole thing on HDNet, in person it felt like the song just went on and on and on.... Spellbinding....

  29. JennyJune 18, 2008 at 9:56 AM

    Finally got to see them. Both are great clips... Got goosebumps for Faith. And I agree that Charlotte needs keyboards, but Porl's guitar on that one is great. Would be perfect if it's a little faster.

    If you follow the link from the Faith video to the BDC one, you can see Cat and I off to the verrry left jumping up and down and screaming, LOL....

    Anah - that is so cool! Something you can remember forever!

  32. AnahJune 18, 2008 at 11:40 AM

    Elise! I will...and days later I'm still processing the whole thing. There was so much to take in. It was probably the best Cure show I've ever been too, and that's crazy, because my first shows were on The Prayer Tour!

    ...I just got off the phone with Cat and thought I'd share this story with you guys too:

    When The Faith encore began, and I realised we were getting the whole thing so-to-speak, I started jumping up and down so hard that my earring came out! At this point during the show, I was about 7th row center or so and when I bent down to get it, I knocked my forehead on the chair in front of me... and now my freaking face hurts O.o

    But you know what? I don't even care...because it's The Cure, and when it's The Cure, nothing else matters.

    <3 I love that we all get to share The Cure like this now on COF. I know I'm rambling now, but I love Craig, and these boards have really made a difference...<3

    Thanks to Rev for finding the videos!

    Faith is amazing! I've been watching it over & over & getting teary eyed. One of my co-workers thinks I'm sick or something bad has happened. I tell her no I'm just a crazy Cure fan moved by a video I keep watching. She looks at it an says, it's kind of boring! Boring??? She has no idea what she's talking about!!!

    Great story anah---The things we go through for our boys!!!

    Charlotte is good too but I agree, it needs the keys!
