setlist is very good todey....

[mikmcc]

I am expecting their will be the 3rd encore

... but will they change it for the 2nd night?

[boneheadhaggar]

great setlist for this one.......apart from no Faith

[mikmcc]

Well thats all Folks

we did see a change of teh final encore

I really love this setlist

[Dirk_X]

i wanna here faith when they are back in germany.... :rocker

[Cold]

yeah, How beautiful you are made it in the setlist!! (expected after hear the 'Secret gig' set) 
How did the song sound in 2007, guys??

Elise, Figurehead, Strange day, Plainsong, Disintegration, Pictures...wow, nice setlist!! just a longer 3th encore ending with Faith and would be fantastic all around!!

[devoblue]

I screamed faith so loudly at robert after the first encore and during close to me that he did hear me both times, but to no avail, as expected.  I am so tired, I'll write more later. maybe.

[crowbi_wan]

Yep, great set.   :rocker  Best so far in my eyes.

[japanesebaby]

very nice to see how beautiful you are and disintegration being played. and plainsong too...

but us or them? why?
i'd already hoped they had buried that somewhere that sun doesn't shine! i don't know why they keep playing it... it's rather decent (or at least listenable) on the album because you can actually hear what the guitars are playing there. but it's always been nothing but a couple of minutes of tedious and pointless noise-making when played live. an undetailed mess - and it's amystery to me why they do it because that's not what the cure is about...(?)

I've got to agree with you here.  It's an okay album track, but blows live.  One would think they might mix in a few other songs from the self titled ablum instead of the same three over and over and over...  At least they through it in at the beginning instead of the end.  And speaking of the end, BDC was back in the final spot.  Still, looks like it was a fantastic show.

haha yes it was but i consciously kept my mouth shut so that i wouldn't make people pissed by complaining about the same old things over and over again... hahaha 
but thanks for bringing this important detail up.

Still, looks like it was a fantastic show. 

sure it was.

[themurderchair]

it was brilliant
absolutely brilliant
i was blown away
disintegration, the kiss, plainsong.... just wow

[Sussex]

So nice..

Plain Song,Disintegration,A Letter to Elise...yes,great setlist so far... :rocker

but still can't beat the previous 2nd encore of the old old song..

[devoblue]

Robert said something like 'you can sing along if you know this one, and that goes for me too'.  Sounded great, but no, I didn't sing along, much.
