  3. maybe / probably the best Cure concert I've attended and many people who were there would agree. don't miss it, keyboards aren't the issue. something happened that night and I don't know what it was GIGANTIC.

    @ webmaster : what do you mean by 'dvd available here' : the whole concert official recording ??!

  6. @davidaftertherain: i totally agree, keyboards really are not the issue. didn't see this paris show but watched them in london on the same tour and they were amazing, didn't miss keyboards at all.
    just listened to this version of plainsong again, i think it is as near to musical perfection as you can get.
    and yes, porl is defintely the best!

    I'm agree 100% with u....this version is original but i can't listen anymore The Cure without the presence of Keyboards....the sound of this instrument is so deeply linked to The Cure's Sound....No 17s...Faith...Pornography & Disintegartion without Keyboards&Guitars&bass Guitar..sorry but if for next The Cure phase...Keyboards are not there...i will be over with The Cure 4 sure!!

  12. Cure without keyboards suck!!! I was so happy to see/hear them in Sydney (on Video) with Roger back on keyboards and no Porl on stage!
    I hope Roger will come back and Porl will stay away FOREVER!!!!

  15. That guitar on Plainsong(and many others) is plain wrong in my opinion, though i do agree that Porl does a great job on non keyboards orientated ones(alt.end etc)..Having been to Sydney and witnessed how good they did sound, i find myself firmly in the "keyboards and original guitars" camp that's for sure, but i also appreciate it was a one-off..Whatever line up and whatever instruments we get at Bestival is not really important,we're lucky they are still playing at all and have plans for the future....

    The cure needs keyboards and i would love to see Roger back for good but I would also love to see the return of Porl as this would be closer to the perfect line-up of the prayer tour/ disentegration era. I just think that Porl lost it somewhat on more recent gigs. He appeared to be improvising far too much!!!

  17. I personnaly think that the best line up is a five piece one including two and sometimes three guitars, and keyboards even if I also enjoyed the 4 Tour. concept. I've never really understood why some fans were so against Ross Robinson, Jason, the 1983 pop singles, Wild Mood Swings, the lack of keyboards, Porl... all those evolutions, Robert's will of always exploring new fields... can't you see that's the only reason why The Cure's work is so amazing and unique ?

  18. blimey some people are really hung up on this keyboards thing! as davidaftertherain said the 4 tour line up was robert's way of evolving the band again - doing something different - isn't that one of the reasons we all love them so much?
    of course we all have our own opinions/preferences, i for example would miss porl a lot if he was out of the band again, but if he is gone seeing them play live as a 3 piece would be an interesting move.

  19. the wish tour itself was not the best of the cure but for me was the best line-up ever and the keyboards sounded much better with perry than with Roger and I loved the 3 guitars in figurehead,100 years for example.

  22. from info file:

    There is floating around a 90 minutes DVD of this show from a Virgin 17 (french TV channel)
    broadcast. The setlist is not the same, "Jumping someone else's train" and "Grinding halt"
    are not included in that DVD.

    Also this DVD present a big quality improvement over the other, not only offers higher data bit
    but also true 16/9 format, the other is fitted in a 4/3 window.

  24. Wow, I really can't stand Plainsong without keyboards. I don't care how well it's played. This song will never be the same again. That goes for pretty much every Cure song, actually. I love you, Robert, but what the hell? :(
