Thanks to both sullen & labyrinth for their links to "Sleep When I'm Dead"!

This is far & away the best new song from the Cure! I absolutely love it!

And great reviews from the show to all who have posted! Too bad there was some sound issues but it seems everyone had a decent time!

I hope there is no curfew for Boston....

7:30 start time, that would put them on stage at 8:30 the way things are going and with the 11pm curfew in place..... well.....

Hopefully it's 1130 or 65 days of **** will go on at 7.

sullen.. i agree.. without a w*nking support band, there WOULD BE 3hours or more of our boys!

I know there was a curfew in Oz... BUT we did not have to put up with a tragic support band..

i hope all the best for the Best Band tonite.. and all the Curefans attending..

enjoy!! p.s. jealous. :(

I don't remember The Cure having an opening act for previous U.S. tours. They certainly don't need one, especially since they keep having curfew issues. Do they have some prior connection with with 65DoS and just want to help them break?

i love 65dos, and i was ecstatic when i saw them last year with the cure, two bands that i love sharing the same night, im happy about it. robert handpicked them to open up for the entire tour, and even flew out to see them live (somwhere in the UK) before asking them. during an interview at the download festival, one of the things robert talked about - was his support for 65daysofstatic, he really ejoys their music. well it shows - otherwise he wouldnt have had them open the WHOLE tour. i dont know how many people have been watching 65dos, but last year - there were 200 people in a 23,000 seat amphitheatre.

We went early enough to catch at least half of the set. I had listened a bit on their webpage/myspace and was not sure I would enjoy them, but they were pretty good live.
Of course, they are somewhat lost in the big (half empty) venues that The Cure are playing,
so I'm sure they would be a lot better in a club setting. Even so, the crowd at the opening
show in Fairfax gave them polite applause during their set. I think they are playing a fair
number of club dates on nights when there is no Cure show.

Funny, I was sure it was a CSB recording from your sample. But I figured I'd be wrong if I said something about it.

Hey....what's wrong with CSBs Mr. DPA? I guess I'll find out first hand the difference between mics in the next few days (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- don't let "the crew" know)!

Not intended to be a criticism. I just knew it was some sort of omni/binaural recording. And my guess was that it was Core Sound Binaurals. That's all.

It sounds good, and I'm definitely going to download it.
