Can someone explain the origin of the thread title please. Not being an uber Cure fan and all.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Robert Smith once said he "fucking despaired" in regards to something. Either something to do with a record deal or the music industry in general.

[CrimesceneCookie]

what happened to sbessio anyways? haven't seen a post from that guy in a year.

[Tubesock Shakur]

San Fransico has a lot of dick....

[cutterbutter]

Oh my. I want to go to there. How long was the show?

[heart cooks brain]

i believe 4+hrs

[bmack86]

Holy cow... That is a set list and a half. That final encore alone would have been worth the price of admission.

[Mr.Trent]

4 hrs 16 min, and apparently they got Tim Pope to film their Latin American tour for a DVD

[xuclarockerx]

Holy shit.

[thefrush]

The fourth encore is a set in itself. My God.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Yeahhhhh they need to do some So Cal dates if that is the setlist these days. They have to be exhausted after each show. I played a 2 hour set years ago and my brain and arms were jello afterward.

[roboto]

Wow..... The Cure is putting other bands to shame.

[amyzzz]

How do they play for SO LONG? I haven't seen them live since 2004. I think I'd like to see them again.

[thefrush]

I think I'd like to see them again.

Think?

[menikmati]

They play that long and play all those songs and still can't manage to play Faith?? Wtf?

[captncrzy]

Encore #2 is the cat's meow.

[microcuts]

Yeahhhhh they need to do some So Cal dates if that is the setlist these days. They have to be exhausted after each show. I played a 2 hour set years ago and my brain and arms were jello afterward.

That Mexico set was abnormally long -most of the other South American shows were "only" 40 songs long. But still significantly less than 50 hah. Either way it's certainly getting your money's worth...

[amyzzz]

Think?

I'm not a huge fan. I have one of their best of albums and a few others. I don't know all the album tracks and b-sides.

[Mr.Trent]

They play that long and play all those songs and still can't manage to play Faith?? Wtf?

as much as I would have loved to hear that one live, I can't complain because I got to listen to bananafishbones, shake dog shake, charlotte sometimes, primary, the hanging garden and the caterpillar live. I mean c'mon!! a four hour concert and there are people complaining!? Wtf?

[bballarl]

They can play that long because very few Cure songs are physically demanding. That said, it is fucking awesome they play marathon sets like that. I want to see them live again soon.

[PJandBompton]

yeah, I need to see The Cure live.

[Mr.Trent]

also, it was Robert's birthday that day so that was probably the reason for such a set
