There is a quick interview with Sandy Seay, our former late employee
Sad
Oops. Completely forgot about this. Oh, well.
I'm surprised at the interest for this show. I guess I shouldn't be.
Will probably hang on the lawn if it's a nice night!

I guess the US Tour has begun.. the first setlst is rather bizzaro… half of the show is from Seventeen seconds/The Top/Wish! 14 songs out of 29 from those albums… I really can't say they are my favorite Cure albums but I do like them….
It will be interesting to see how much they change it up..two new songs: It can never be the same (very promising Cure-ish title) and Setp into the Light (very unpromising unless it goes "No matter how hard you try to step into the light it will be completely dark..")

Just to be clear I am a huge Cure fan and would totally take that setlist happily! I dont' have too many "requirements".. one for sure is that they play Just Like Heaven…
They need more encores.
I agree, that is a nice setlist. Burn! That was the first song of theirs that I remember ever hearing, on the Crow soundtrack. I am hoping to possibly snag a secondary market ticket for this.
I can't make a middle-of-the-week show at Merriweather so I going up for the first MSG show in NYC. I am hoping for more tunes from Pornography, which is probably my favorite LP of theirs. That and Seventeen Seconds are probably the 2 I listen to the most. The one tune I'd want to hear is "Cold"…I'm just glad Simon Gallup is still playing bass for them. One of my favorite bass players ever.
Robert Smith sounds great..

push is mine…and I see they played it
Charlotte Sometimes and In Between Days would be next
I'd love to hear Killing an Arab, but doesn't seem very PC anymore
10:15 Saturday Night
JLH of course
yes.. seeing Push on the setlist was pretty great…love that song… my sister is seeing them on Saturday.. I think the band we are going to get is pretty great..o'donnell, gallup…. reeves gabrels (who we saw with Bowie twice)…….
ha ha… 10 songs from disintegration last night.. basically they played two nights in New Orleans and gave two different shows!
The Cure is a live powerhouse/juggernaut that can pretty much play anything on any night…
Only 1 song from Wish, no songs from The Top and no songs from Seventeen Seconds…

Really happy to see they played "Burn" both nights. That song is a showstopper. Cannot wait for this tour, I just wish that I could see more than one date because the shows will each be vastly different. I love it when bands mix up the setlists radically. With a band like the Cure, it'll be great no matter what.
