This is the first time I've followed a tour so closely, so yeah, I guess I expected something a little special.  After looking at the other tours though, I see you're right.

Oh, I dunno.  I watched the first half of the Milan show while having a few drinks, and I'm still pretty excited.

But....the only show I ever saw was in 2004, and that might have something to do with it.

Especially when you consider The Cure's history of playing darker sets in Europe and poppier sets in the US. (Swing Tour, Prayer Tour, Wish Tour, etc.)

I'll enjoy it regardless, because it'll be my first time seeing The Cure. But I'm definitely disheartened by the crap London setlist. I was SURE they'd do a Faith encore tonight. 

I was SURE they'd do a Faith encore tonight. 

I was sure too... I expected a setlist more special, 'cos it's the last show of European tour, 'cos the venue is Wembley Arena, 'cos it's the only date in England...

In my opinion from 2004 they are more close to U.S. (they have signed a contract with Geffen) and Europe isn't so important like in past years.

does anybody have any news on Porl, he seemed to collapse during WCIBY and there was a lot of concern for him especially from Simon and Porls guitar tech, he managed to carry on for the rest of the show but did not look well or comfortable and Simon kept looking over to him in a very concerned way. I was right at the front, centre stage and he really did not look good from that point onwards

The setlist may have been a bit boring but it was an amazing show (at least is was for me seeing as it was my 2nd cure concert).
The crowd was a bit sleepy until Lullaby but things still didnt get really crazy until the encores. I was shocked at the amount of people who went to get drinks during the new songs especially A Boy I Never Knew. Most of the songs were fantastic - WCIBU was a bit weird though - A Forest was brilliant and Friday was lots of fun!
I think some of the English crowd were too shy to dance or something but what made it really excellent for me were the guys "sat" behind me. They took it upon themselves to conduct everyone when to sing and tried to get everyone to dance! It still puzzled me how people could just sit and yawn through One Hundred Years and Disintegration...
The seventeen seconds encore was my favourite, it was just amazing and people started to loosen up a bit but the pop encore sent them in to a frenzy!! Many seated people made a dancefloor at the bottom of the seats and were running, jumping, spinning(?) all over the place.
There was a real mix of people, like quite old and then kids of about 8!!!
Thats all i can remember at the moment... not sure what time i got to bed...

@boneheadhaggar I noticed Porl didn't look too good, i hope he's okay.

Oh and Roberts excuse for not talking much was that he can't speak english!

One word to sum Wembley up = MAGIC!!!

does anybody have any news on Porl, he seemed to collapse during WCIBY

In Oberhausen he was very in hurry for leaving the stage. After the second encore he left verz quickly, and after Killing an arab he left, thought the rest of the members still stayed on the stage.

if i remember correctly i never saw porl hanging around on stage (on this tour), i think he always walked away fast, right after the set was done.
so i wonder if london was really any different then, and does that have to "mean" anything at all(?)
