Good evening :D
Excuse me for my lengthy disappearance.
I admit, I am guilty I should have come to tell you earlier, but too much to deal with.
But I am happy to announce that I would be in concert :smth049 The Cure November 15 at Bercy :smth049 (I do not put my head the new name of the room lol) .
To be sure to get tickets, I took my morning launch day sales.
Thirty minutes before the opening of Fnac in my city, I was already in front (it was fresh that day). When at last the door opened, I went straight guiche dedicated to the sale of concert ticket. I was very surprised by the salesperson that their site was saturated and I was lucky that it can access my application and print my tickets.
But I would not alone. I would come with my stepsister. In addition I am proud of me :twisted: for I will come with a fan of Depeche Mode (I also like but I am not a fan like her). Because I want her to see the concerts of our favorite band is much different from those she loves.
Like all of you, I hope we will have this expensive new album is expected for so long to be able to listen before they come to us. If only the parent had acceded to the request of the group for a double album, it will be much easier. But these penny-do as their heads and do not see us as wallet emptying :smth011.
The key is that we can finally see them after such a long wait (excluding charity concerts and festivals of course).
Hoping to meet us, I wish you a good weekend and see you soon. Kiss
if I find a standing ticket, I might go to this one as well!

Goodnight Sanchez,
I sincerely hope that you will find a ticket :smth023 .
If I learn from my side, I'm warning you ;). Kiss
Hope to meet you all next tuesday for a GREAT SHOW in Paris!!!
Till then... Take Cure
Hey guys!! I'm back!! (honestly, i'm sorry I was away so long...life happened etc..) I'll be in Paris! Can't wait! David, are you going? I was hoping for Faith at this show but pretty sure that's not going to happen, so i'm hoping for a realistic option of Charlotte Sometimes - it's evaded me so far this tour.

wow...I saw your previous post is from 7 years ago! glad you didn't forget us :)
No, I won't be going to tomorrow's show in Paris, but there will be Tof and x-phile attending. I hope you get the chance to meet them. Are you still living in the UK? Did you make other shows? I saw them 6 times in this European Tour and still considering to see them another time... we will see.
Take cure and welcome back, Hero!

Hello world :),
As expected, I would come with my half sister : we will arrive on Paris normally towards 17h18 ;).
And, we'll have to do a sprint so we can do everything :o (put our things in the hotel since the doors will open at 18h00).
Concerning our pitches, we will be in the pit and, like many of you, we will be happy if we get to be as ready as possible of Robert and Simon :roll:.
Dsanchez > pity that you will not be among us. At the same time, you got the advance of some of us with already 6 concerts on this tour :smth023.
In the meantime, I wish you a very good day and tonight for 3 hours of delight popcorn.
Tonight's setlist:
Mainset: Open, All I Want, Push, In Between Days, Primary, Pictures of You, High, Lovesong, Before Three, A Night Like This, The Walk, Just Like Heaven, Trust, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, The Hungry Ghost, One Hundred Years, End
E1: It Can Never Be the Same, Burn, Play for Today, A Forest
E2: Lullaby, Fascination Street, Never Enough, Wrong Number
E3: The Lovecats, Hot Hot Hot,Friday Im In Love, Boys Dont Cry, Close To Me , Why Cant I Be You?
Well, pretty average setlist in my opinion, specially when you compare it to the songs they played in the previous Bercy gig (To Wish Impossible Things, At Night, M, Killing An Arab, 10:15 Saturday Night, Faith...)
Also, due the events in Paris last year (not sure if Robert mentioned something about it) I was expecting something really special in terms of songs. "Faith" would have been a very good choice given the things that happened.
Either case, I hope all those who went had a great time!

The problem with Faith is that you can't surprise the audience with it no longer
because most of us expecting it, at least for the final shows in London.I love the
song, but when I suppose the track will appear on the remaining setlist, it seems
a bit unfair.
The setlist was pretty standard compared to some of the things they've played this tour (not even Plainsong!) but the atmosphere was amazing! Paris really loves The Cure!
Robert didn't mention anything about last year, but i don't think he needed to..compared to other arenas the security was pretty intense! It was certainly on my mind during the show.
The band were fantastic though, the best i've heard them this year, and it was a real treat to hear Before Three (even though he couldn't remember the words!) Play for Today was awesome too. I had high hopes for songs like Faith etc but a while a go i just remembered how lucky we are to have a huge tour. Robert seem so happy right now... I think in Paris he was even in better spirits than LA - and i think that's why the setlists are the way they are. I love the dark songs but if Robert's too happy to play them than that's fine with me :-)
(David, I went to the three shows in Hollywood, Auckland, Berlin, Paris and have Manchester and last night of London to go - you were in Berlin too?!)
Thanks for the review, Hero!
Yes, I went to Berlin too (too bad we missed each other!), courtesy of a fellow member of this forum ;) I am still pending to post the reviews from the gigs I went to, I will do slowly in the next days...
The security in Prague was pretty intense, too. At moments I thought I was going through an airport control rather than going to a concert!
So you saw The Cure everywhere including New Zealand? Are you working in the aviation industry? :) I wish I could see them again (I started to think about the possibility of going to Madrid this Sunday) but I need to check my money first!
Haha, no not the aviation industry (thankfully! I hate flying!) but i was living in New Zealand for nearly 8 years, and hopped over for LA for those shows, then moved back to the UK just a few months ago so perfect timing for the cure tour!!
I can't believe I only have two shows left, and at the same time I can't believe that we've had a huge world tour this year. This year has reaffirmed how much I love The Cure, and how incredible they are!

You are absolutely right David
I was expecting a very Special Show in Paris for all that you mentioned and more... And a Special setlist too... I was expecting Faith too... But all I get was a normal show at a great venue with sometimes great audience... Not bad... But I felt a bit disapointed because this time I could only manage to go ONE Cure Show abroad... and Paris was (I thought) the one to choose!!!

Same here! And thanks for your review (I'm always glad to read any fans' reviews here).
In general: too many "expectations" often lead to disappointment. (The internet is full of comments of fans of all kinds of bands expressing "booh, they didn't play that b-side I like from 19.."!)
I didn't expect too much of the gig I got to see - and was overwhelmed by The Cure once more.
