I did get a little out of line back when the Sasquatch date was announced after believing it was to be a Seattle date, but a couple people said "fergawdsake knock it off already" and they were right so I did. Thoroughly enjoyed most of this tour, wished the 'water' songs (Drowning/Same Deep) had been played more often but other than that just great. Looking forward to them coming back although doubtful that Washington State will be on the itinerary. Maybe plan ahead better and go to Boise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329577841319504565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-54748323372237703862016-06-29T01:45:23.684-05:002016-06-29T01:45:23.684-05:00Hehe.

After 7 shows across all corners of our great country I hope the Cure have it very clear how much America loves the Cure. And our love affair has endured. I mean consistently 10 to 20 thousand seaters on so many shows...we aren't any longer in that 87 to 92 'peak' period and yet they come here and we eat them up like it is those days.

I appreciate your message. I felt horribly about it all. I have only been a Cure fan for about 10 years and I thought I must have said something unintentionally inappropriate. You just made my day. :) I could have sunk to SC's level and lashed back, but I have more class than that and too much respect for Craig to do that on CoF.

I have NEVER missed a Tour and RS at 57... I wasn't going to miss a potential GOOD BYE . They opened in New Orleans showcasing new music which IT CAN NEVER BE THE SAME has struck an EMOTIONAL chord with me and I became ECSTATIC with a potential new album featuring such an EPIC track.When announced the Toronto date was a festival I couldn't have been more DISSAPPOINTED as I knew without a proper venue the setlist would be small and under developed which it delivered to be probably the worse show of 2016.RS announcement in Toronto uplifted my spirit feeling that indeed a new album in December was on route and that they would return to make up for a terrible show for cure standards and do something special? Kick off a world tour perhaps ??? I have grown to RESPECT and CHERISH what an AMAZING job CRAIG and the CHAIN OF FLOWERS has done for CURE fans ...HIS HARDWORK AND DEDICATION has brought some many fans together with insight that you can't get anywhere ...Being such a HUGE fan of the CURE since 84 and now at the tender age of 47 the only people that UNDERSTAND CURE FANS ARE OTHER CURE FANS ...everyone else are on the just don't get it list and this forum had united us all again during this tour . It doesn't matter if you prefer the POP or die for the DARK...RS is such a musical icon and the raw power and emotion that the CURE delivers on EPIC 3 hour concerts with such a diverse catalogue of music isntruely AMAZING ...so today I wake up DEPRESSED that's it's over and ANXIOUS and CURIOUS for what surprises are in store for Europeon Leg ...no idea what I will be doing tonight with no SCOPE to watch of my all time favourite band but will be SMILING with great MEMORIES of 8 weeks of sharing in everyone's delight during this tour ...thanks again Craig ...what you do touches a lot more that you could ever imagine CHEERS ALL ...

It was a domino effect for sure. I am not sure how Jason escaped. I saw Reeves early in the evening making some adjustments. I blame it on the Hungry Ghosts or the Miami heat. I enjoyed the temporary chaos in all honesty. Perfection is much overrated.

I have read this webpage since the dream tour .... I never post but I always follow the review, set lists and videos. The cure is and has been the best rock band ever in the world. I love how they can change the set lists every tour giving us a few surprises for the real fans.... I am a Mexican fan deeply in love with the cure's music.... I love the concept of their concerts and all the crowd and magic around any of their gigs.... The best part of this tour for me was: the new stage with 5 imaginary screens, the new lights, see simon's son in the cure crew, see Darcy Gallup following the tour with his dad. Listen exploding boy, 2 late, Charlotte sometimes, the same deep water as you, cold, all I want, doing the unstuck, from the edge, 100 years, burn, the perfect girl, a forest, screw, the last day of summer, closedown, like cockatoos. Omg this band is great!!!!!!!!!! I was not able to attend or a least I did not attend any U.S. Show cause jam living in Asia at this time .... This time I will see them in Europe... I always dreamed to see the cure in Eastern Europe... Congratulations to any one who was lucky to attend any of the shows. You got a great great experience!!!!!!'

Also sometimes if a show is just postponed, they will simply honor the original ticket too, but if you say it's unused then it might be the former.

So each and every live performance from him requires that he play to a style and sound originating with Lol Tolhurst or Andy Anderson or Boris. Personally I think he does a phenomenal job re-creating what did not originate with himself. How many drummers have to represent the playing styles of 3 different drummers each night they take to the stage. Jason is a super musician. And that comes from a cure fan of over 30 years+++.
