I was there.. good gig but got to say they better live now....
ReplyDeleteI gree except couple song they did better then a forst and Charlotte sam time
DeleteI was there too and Wembley 2 days after it. Yup, just as good if not better nowadays.
ReplyDeletethe opening to the 'kiss' was sensational though
ReplyDeleteU mean the film show and then the curtain dropping to reveal the cure yeah was the best.
Deletespot on sir
DeleteYou people are nuts. The band and the current members are all way pst their prime.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about how 'past their prime' applies to musicians. It's not like a pro athlete who only has a limited time due to the physical nature of one's sport. I guess there's no accounting for aesthetics and personal taste though... if you prefer the younger look and writing style of Bob from 25 years ago, then you simply like what you like, can't fault that. But to say that the band today isn't performing tighter and at a much higher caliber than in 1987, then you're just nuts or delusional about days long gone by. Mind you, I'm not speaking of new vs. old songs, just live performances.
DeleteLast months RAH gig was just as powerful as when I first saw them in the mid 80's, probably better and I don't think I'm nuts or deaf. The quality of musicianship is outstanding and boy did Robert deserve a round of applause for his vocals on Prayers For Rain !
DeleteYup...Cure at RAH last month, top notch performance - easily as good as (if not better than), any that I have seen over the years
