All I Want and A Letter To Elise because I've
put them on my 'perfect setlist' and, surprisingly,
Screw. The idea to keep these album tracks from
sinking into oblivion is quite good. I'm pleased
about every track from KM KM KM at the moment.
Thanks,The Cure. ;)

Too many to mention already!!!  :o
Look at the setlists so far and tell me if there's not already a LOT of pleasant surprises.
(2 Late, Last Dance, All I want, Exploding Boy, This twilight garden, Letter to Elise...)

Another pleasant surprise was nobody moaning about Jason, well at least until you started it...

but why he has to add cymbals to the "solemnity" of such guitar solo? I don't understand (sorry for the off topic)

The answer is the same as to many questions in that topic: I DO NOT KNOW!!!
Ask Jason or Robert (he's the boss after all - but maybe he can't hear cymbals any more after all those years as a musician...)!

What a great tour this was. It seems like they would do little album suites (whether it was Wish in Chula Vista, or Bloodflowers on night 3 of MSG.) I wonder what inspired them to mix things up in such a way, but it seems like they've been playing better and better over the past three years as a live unit (in another way than they already were if that makes sense)
But it's much too late you say
For doing this now
We should have done it then
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go
