For this show I've contacted those attending, however they didn't confirm if they would update us live.

It all depends of the people. There was one guy who announced that he was going to the concert... today. Too late, if we would know it before, maybe we could arrange with him for getting live updates. So for this show, let's wait until the end of the concert for getting the news.

As for Copenhague and the following gigs, I think we will have someone reporting live from each city, we're already arranging that. But if anyone who's reading here wants to offer himself/herself already to report live in any of the upcoming concerts, please contact (http://curefans.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=3) any of the administrator or moderators of this site by personal message. The community will be grateful  :smth023

- or then everyone in oslo is asleep or something.   :lol:
i think we'll hear something sooner or later.

just got an sms from friend from oslo:
all he says is that he had a bad seat, the sound was bad and that there were "no surprises"
- i guess that means the similar show as in stockholm then... :?

it appears that the show is over so maybe more news will surface soon...

I think AdamClayton first message plus what's on cure-concerts, confirmed that the only difference between the swedish gig and this was A letter to elise and Friday I'm in love. So I guess there was no Plainsong at all.

i think it's better they don't even try - the guitar version of 'prayers for rain' in mexico wasn't very impressive.
but imo they have enough interesting material to look into instead - that is if they only tried!

or maybe not, because it's being the same thing as in mexico shows. of course, without the songs that ppl want to hear like hanging garden or other voices, just to name a few.
i almost bet that in 2 days they will open with out of this world and end with bloodflowers.

I was thinking the same thing about the Bloodflowers opener and closer.

They played a large amount of Disentegration songs on Curiosa too.  I think when I saw them they played more from that album than the self titled one.

I'd like to see them do a Bloodflowers themed encore, like the one with 39 and Bloodflowers.

Sorry I didn't get to give updates during the concert - I haven't been online to read the message until now.

It was my first Cure show, so of course I loved it! Them opening with Plainsong was a pleasant surprise.

More photos here, at the bottom of the page. (I love how Fascination Street is called Fashion Street in the review :lol:)

Jonas gave me the correct setlist. Main order was different to what AdamClayten told and also last encore had two more songs.

11.02.2008 Oslo - Spektrum (Norway)
plainsong, fascination street, alt. end, the walk, the end of the world, lovesong, a letter to elise, pictures of you, lullaby, from the edge of the deep green sea, please project, push, friday i'm in love, in between days, just like heaven, a boy i never knew, shake dog shake, never enough, wrong number, one hundred years, disintegration,
E1: at night, m, play for today, a forest,
E2: let's go to bed, freak show, close to me, why can't i be you?,
E3: three imaginary boys, fire in cairo, boys don't cry, jumping someone else's train, grinding halt, 10:15 saturday night, killing an arab


Yup, that seems right, apologies for my wrong set, it was just from the top of my head last night after the concert;)

No surprises.....but replacing Open/End  with Plainsong/Disintegration is big improvement in my mind

or maybe not, because it's being the same thing as in mexico shows. of course, without the songs that ppl want to hear like hanging garden or other voices, just to name a few.
i almost bet that in 2 days they will open with out of this world and end with bloodflowers.

Yes, I think so too. But what will happen on the 4th show (Hamburg)? Want/Bare or Shake Dog Shake/The Top or The Kiss/Fight or will they repeat Open/End?
I also really hope, they will play the full last encore with TIB and FIC.
Still hoping for a Faith encore incl. Other Voices. I'm already excited

Sorry I didn't get to give updates during the concert - I haven't been online to read the message until now.

It was my first Cure show, so of course I loved it! Them opening with Plainsong was a pleasant surprise.

I think it was a really good show, even if I have seen them 25 times before :D This easily made it into my top 10 Cure-shows, not because of the setlist, which was good, considering this was their first show in Norway in 16 years. Even though I would have loved the Faith-encore they played in Mexico instead of the seventeen seconds-encore which they have played on the majority of shows I've attended before (except at night), I think this really suited the Oslo-audience.
I'm sure when they play germany, france, italy, spain, the two polish shows, the more obscure and darker stuff will emerge. They are really in a really good mood, it's a joy seeing Robert dance, joke and making faces. The lights for Plainsong (and Pictures) are so beautiful. The wish-like animation in the background for Friday I'm love was also great.
One interesting note: Please project has changed a bit since last year. The chorus now appears later in the song (after 4 verses, instead of 2 verses) + Robert has added some new singing (not lyrics, just some oooing) between the 2nd and 3rd verse + there are 2 new verses before the last chorus (1. "I love what you do to my skin", 2. "I love what you do to my bones". Also, Robert ended Please project by saying "thank you, this don't have a title, yet" (If I understood him correctly). Which means (if I didn't misinterpret him, and if he wasn't lying)that the new album is still not finished.

That would actually make some sort of sense (I guess), considering that the US tour starts on May 9.  Personally, I'd rather they release it in July, after the tour.  Then maybe they'd be motivated enough to come back around on a tour to support the album!

Can't argue that thinking at all!  In fact, I think people would be a-ok with this as a "Greatest hits" tour, if they knew that the band would be back in the fall/winter.

I know everyone was waiting to hear new stuff from the band, maybe a setlist that would please each and every one of us.
But nothing compares to seeing them live.  :smth023 
Each time they play a song live, it is different in a way, and special. ( I have about 10 different versions of Faith, for example.. and they all sound different.. )  ;)

I just wish I was able to see them again..  :cry:
By the sound of what has emerged, Robert is sounding fantastic, and Simon is "on fire"..  :-D    what more can we ask for, really?

A tour like this, without a new album to present.. is still the greatest, not just greatest hits!!

The sound is still a bit rough with this particular song, BUT Robert seems to really like this song, he seems so uplifted to be performing this, no matter if the name may well change to by the time the album is released  ;)

I got a few of the hits on video in better quality than the youtube ones on my website. Also took 4 pics, but they always end up crappy standing so far from the stage. Good show though, I only heard one mistake on the drums, apart from that it was flawless. I knew what to expect and they duly delivered :P

I was there in Oslo, and loved every minute - last time I saw them play was in 1979, (as support to Siouxsie and the Banshees), and I've been a big fan of The Cure ever since.
I was lucky enough to get tickets to Wembley too, so really looking forward to that. And 65dos were pretty good too...
