Robert Smith demonstrates a proper drunken live performance.

It is unreal how great this band is live.

As a massive fan of The Top, I can't tell you how thrilled I am that Bananafishbones is a setlist staple these days:

last night:


what a fantastic show!!!! more than 3 hours

his voice is so good live, and the whole band was on fire

simon still looks like a teenager

that 2nd encore was brutal

Let's Go To Bed, Why Can't I Be You and the Caterpillar are phenomenal live

Fight was a huge surprise

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it, hopefully it doesn't take Robert a decade to release the DVD from this tour.

(CoF reports Want, not Bloodflowers, after Trust.)

hmmmmm...maybe, im not sure right now

Trust was gorgeous btw

Either way, great songs!






They're sounding so good right now.

it was Want actually

guess i was a bit drunk by that moment!

so rio got the disintegration encore, sao paulo KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME and assuncion pornography

whats next?

There was already a leaked production setlist linked to in the comments under one of the news stories on Chain of Flowers.

Spoiler: show

They're playing the same main set each night, the same final encore and then (as you might've guessed) there's a selection of either a Disintegration, Pornography or KMKMKM-themed encore to go inbetween. Same Deep Water As You was also listed as its own encore, so I guess they'll throw that out one at some point.

I really have gotten into the sure in my later years. But I gotta say, Robert Smith is NOT aging well.

I used to be one of those guys who liked the Cure in secret. I appreciate them a lot more now than then though. Disintegration is probably my favorite from them.

I know right? He should probably drop the makeup at this point.

Wish was a pretty huge disappointment for me, but Trust and To Wish Impossible Things are two of my favorite Cure songs.
Robert does sound pretty great. Seems like he may be one of those singers who benefits from gaining a few pounds.

I think "Wish" is a really strong album, it just suffers from being the followup to "Disintegration". The only song I don't really care for is "Wendy Time".

From The Head on the Door to Disintegration, The Cure was my favorite band. Wish kinda ended that.
Although in retrospect, my musical tastes changed drastically between Disintegration and Wish. And obviously, hearing Friday I'm in Love on the radio every day, while I really just wanted to wallow in the self-hatred of grunge didn't help matters.
As I have gotten older, Wish has improved. But I'd still put it in the second tier of Cure albums. It's miles better than Wild Mood Swings, which ranks as my least favorite.

This is true, god I'm glad I grew out of the self loathing phase. Woe is me!

he looks like a really weird fat old lady.

Yeah, he looks more and more like my crazy aunt.

Are those man-boobs?
