the The Cure thread

[sweetcell]

a place to concentrate our chatter about the upcoming tour, St. Robert's quest against ticket fees, being a middle-aged former goth, etc.

The Cure opens North American tour with hits, new songs, huge rarities — setlist and video

great setlist of 29 songs - i'll happily take that.  rob's hair i could do without.

The Kiss is one of my favorite deep cuts (first track of KMKMKM)
I just recently came across this
The Kiss (RS Home Demo 3/86) (Instrumental)

it doesn't hold up to the blazing guitar on the original but it was interesting to hear the origin

they have been known to break it out, but somewhat rare

thankfully Charlotte Sometimes ->Push seems to be permanently added to the set list and I couldn't be more happy
we also seem to be getting one deep cut that hasn't been on the set lists for a while

Anyone else excited also about the opener?
Never heard of Twilight Sad before but they sound purrty good....

Anyway.... I need plainsong, doing the unstuck, forest, fire in Cairo, and fascination street.

We'll see.

Should we propose a meetup nobody will make?

[grateful]

Somebody make a " Friends of Kosmo Vinyl" sign!

I like them on record but they kinda bored me to death this past Thursday at MSG.  Maybe the anticipation for The Cure was very high.
