Good seats on TM right now for tom night. Just picked one up...

[CellarOwl]

45 songs. Fuck. That's an endurance test for the crowd and the band. I don't know how you keep the intensity going that long, but I guess I'll find out Saturday.

[Derekx]

Tonight! I'm so excited.

[TheScenestar]

Cya tonight homie. Toke breaks during intermissions out front!

[Spooks]

I'm getting excited to see the Cure again! Last time was at Coachella 09 and before that was at Curiosa Festival in Philly. Anyone remember that tour? I think the main stage went: Mogwai, The Rapture, Interpol and The Cure. 2nd stage was The Cooper Temple Clause, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Thursday, and Muse.

[swhite423]

So I've heard about a poster for the show. Has anybody seen it?

[getbetter]

Yes and there two different ones.

[swhite423]

Yes and there two different ones.

Could you share details on this?

[TallGuyCM]

One of the posters is a large Robert Smith face, and it's awesome. The other says The Cure and has some colors and stuff, I didn't look at it much.

The Robert Smith face ones were all numbered by moi, limited to 1000 for the whole tour, get 'em while they last!

[cutterbutter]

Can't find pictures... Cmon internet!

I always enjoyed this one Todd Slater did. Shitty picture is shitty.

[cutterbutter]

This one? If so, i'm impressed with my google-fu



You can get it on their site here. http://thecure.sandbag.uk.com/Store/...een+print.html I doubt they are numbered though. And definitely not numbered by one of our own!

[TallGuyCM]

That's the one! Mad google skillz!

Edit: Much more expensive on the site, only $20 with a free tube at the show. Buy it there.

[cutterbutter]

Thanks for the insider info. Ill have to see it in person...

TONIGHT!!

[cutterbutter]

Amazing show. So fortunate to see that selection of music in such a wonderful theater. They were spectacularly on point all night. 45 songs... Wow.

So, I was bored waiting during the breaks so I wrote down most of the things Robert said. He seemed to be really enjoying himself. I hope he wasn't just having fun with us on the last two

"I don't have enough time to explain what we are doing tonight, so if you don't know ask the person next to you" Top of the show

"I try and I try to like that song but I can't do it. It's Simon's favorite though" about Object

"this is where the first album should have ended, but we were young and stupid" before Weedy Burton

"something strange is about to happen" After finishing Three Imaginary Boys

"With the first record we wrote many of them when we were 16 and 17. With this one, we wrote it in a short different kind of time" before playing Seventeen Seconds

"I think I finally figured out what that song is about" after playing Three.

"We're off around the world. See you in 5 minutes" after seventeen seconds

"it's always impossible to be yourself in front of this many people. Just impossible" beginning of encores

"the next part of our journey continues with more b-sides. A long time ago you wouldn't know what was coming next. Not that way anymore. Everyone knows where you are all the time. Now, our brand new hit single, Descent."

"give me one minute. I've just got to go take some acid" after Hanging garden.

"And this is the part of the story where we head into unseen bright territory. Kind of sets us up for next year huh" Before Lets Go To Bed, The Walk, and The Lovecats.

"Thank you all for coming. We'll see you next year. For what, I'm not sure yet."

[getbetter]

Wow no morrissey banter and definitely a tour next year.I read on another site morrissey said welcome to the bright side of the street during his Fonda show.

[swhite423]

Wow what a great show. This is my first time seeing the cure and I'm glad i did. Although i didn't see a lot of the songs I've come to love by the cure, all three albums were killer and i absolutely loved how the lineup changed every time. The encore at the end was probably the best part though. The lights, Roberts banter, the bands crazy musician ship(i thought some of those bass lines were guitar. I guess not.) This was also great because of the pantages. what a venue. I really do hope they tour next year because I am dying to see them again.

[cutterbutter]

They added In Between Days on at the end of the set for the first night in NYC. I suppose thats the next logical step in the "hits" encore at the end. Maybe Robert is serious about continuing these kind of shows and exploring the rest of their career.

Also, there are a few tapings of these Reflections shows on http://www.dimeadozen.org/
I'd link to specific pages but you need to sign up to access anything. Definitely worth checking out.

Well dang, now they added in The Caterpillar in the last encore for night 2 NYC. More chronological pop Cure to end the evening.

44. Let's Go To Bed
45. The Walk
46. The Lovecats
47. The Caterpillar
48. In Between Days
