The Top is my second to last least favourite Cure album, but that was a cracking gig (and I've been to 22 of them!) and the best I've heard them play those songs even if the last time I heard some of them was 30 years ago.
The three gigs should have been sub-titled: "We're playing all the right songs, but not necessarily in the right order."
Didn't sound too wrong. On subsequent parts he has a look on his face like, "I better get it right this time." Maybe he could play an actual flute on it. Also, I've noticed that Robert does a thing now where he always has a guitar strapped on even for songs that he doesn't play guitar on.
Like Cockatoos sounds incredibly boring and thin with the pre-recorded percussion, reinstate the one person who could bring that song and that album back to life because the new round of trilogy shows are gonna be bad most likely if not...the drumming is a bit advanced on THotD and Kissx3, not gonna be so easy to mask Jason's ability then
Wow! Thank you for these. A few observations: Robert really seems to be coaching Roger along a bit on some of the keyboard bits. Notice how he sings a part at the end of a song only for Rog to play it back to him. Rob wears his guitar as a prop more often than ever. I was surprised to see Reeves play the solo in 'Piggy' while Robert played tambourine and a couple single notes.
Anyway, they do sound great, and They look like they are having fun. I am hopeful this bodes well for more shows and, maybe(?), new songs. Call me crazy, wouldn't be the first time!
Can't see. Privacy settings issues.

I think you can watch directly on Vimeo (like me)!
DeleteThanks. Should have tried that first! :D
DeleteYES!!! I found a way around the "other" Jeff.
ReplyDeleteYes, he did...lol "Sorry, Wrong Note"... <- See what I did there.
