Getting there
From Europe
There's a very very special offer from KLM to just 600 EUR round trip from Madrid in April. The offer is valid only until February 7th (http://www.klm.com/travel/es_en/plan_and_book/special_offers/flight_offers/index.htm?WT.seg_3=hp_all_pandg4). Several fans from Europe will be traveling to South America, so if you are planning this, let us know. It will be an unforgettable experience!
From Ecuador
The cheapest way to go from Ecuador is by bus. Although it take long (around 18 hours from the border in Tumbes) is cheap, safe and very comfortable. We recommend Cruz del Sur which is an excellent bus company.
From Somewhere else
Skyscanner (http://www.skyscanner.net/) is an excellent choice to look for cheap flights.
If you know of any good deal to go South America in April, write it down!
Where to stay
La Posada del Parque (http://www.incacountry.com/posadadelparque/english/index_english.htm) (this is a hostel with good reviews which is just a few minutes walk from the venue)
Sheraton Lima (http://www.sheraton.com.pe/): For those who can afford it, this 5 stars hotel is just 10' walk from the venue
Hotel Bolivar (http://www.granhotelbolivar.com.pe/ingles/home.html): This very good hotel is located in the centre of Lima, about 20' walking distance from the Stadium (2km)
Stay with a fan: Leave a comment and maybe someone from the forum can host you at his/her place. Who knows? :)

The largest Peruvian newspaper just confirmed what we announced last Friday here at curefans.com: the best band of the world will play Peru this April 17 and tickets will go on sale on February 1st.
http://elcomercio.pe/espectaculos/1529278/noticia-the-cure-lima-confirmado-banda-tocara-17-abril-nacional (http://elcomercio.pe/espectaculos/1529278/noticia-the-cure-lima-confirmado-banda-tocara-17-abril-nacional)
People and Show and Evenpro (both who have organized in the past gigs from R.E.M. , Metallica , Robert Plant, etc. in Lima) are in charged of the event.
According the organizer, The Cure would like to tape Lima's show (!)
About the ticket's price, it seems they will range from 60 Peruvian Soles the cheapest (about 17 EUR/23 USD) to 415 Soles the most expensive (about 120 EUR/160 USD)
(thanks @pedrin17 for the info)

Ok, disculpen escribir en español, no tengo tiempo para traducción :)
Soy de Ecuador, David Sanchez me conoce... hemos chateado hace unos años atrás....
Estoy averiguando por parte precios para viajar en bus, de Guayaquil directo a LIMA! quisiera saber a donde podría llegar debido a que mi salida estaría prevista para el jueves 11 a las 23h00, (ya que son 36 horas de viaje) llegada sin malos cálculos sábado 13 a las 12h00, por lo cual mi estadía sería de unos 5 días aproximadamente, saliendo de regreso Lima - Guayaquil...
Esos 5 días necesito saber quien me tendría de "huésped curefan" sin presentar ninguna molestia y para recorrer lo suficiente a capital peruana.
En cuanto a las entradas, quien me facilita la compra adelantada de las mismas para poder enviar el efectivo y hacerle llegar vía western union, o etc.
Sin más les dejo mi correo:

Estoy de acuerdo, saludos desde Ecuador... desde ya estoy buscando hospedaje en LIMA! :) quien se apunta!?
Rommel,
En cuanto al viaje (y quien escribe ha ido de Lima a Guayaquil y viceversa) creo que lo mejor es ir hasta Tumbes y de alli tomar un bus hacia Lima. Te recomiendo Cruz del Sur que es una EXCELENTE compania de buses: http://www.cruzdelsur.com.pe/ (http://www.cruzdelsur.com.pe/)
Sugiero que llegues dos dias antes al show para que disfrutes de Lima.
En cuanto a la compra de entradas, si ves al inicio de este tema (el primer comentario), ese costo (con 25% de descuento) es para personas que tienen la tarjeta de un banco local (Interbank). El costo sin esa tarjeta es mayor. En todo caso hare las averiguaciones y yo podria comprar tu ticket, pero dame tiempo para ver eso, OK?
En cuanto al alojamiento, no te preocupes. Los peruanos son gente hospitalaria y seguro encontraras un lugar donde dormir.
Saludos :smth023

jajaja si estaría bien lo que me dices (con respecto al mensaje privado), bueno intentaré hacer el viaje Guayaquil-Huaquillas-Tumbes-Lima... Preferiría directo a, por lo que estoy averiguando precios más cómodos! pero me equivale a salir casi con una semana de anticipación de Guayaquil.
Sinceramente gracias, me confirmas si estarás en Campo A: s/.415.00 para conseguir los dólares, y enviarte creo que ese sector es casi como primera fila... y no me lo perdería por nada... :)

Efectivamente, Campo A es primera fila (si es que uno llega temprano). En Peru la gente es muy fanatica y varios acamparan desde la noche anterior. En cuanto al envio del dinero, primero debo contactar a algun amigo que tenga esa tarjeta para poder comprar con ese descuento. Saludos.

Interview with the event's organizer (in Spanish) / Entrevista con el organizador del evento
Can you say what they talk about in English please? :D
Quote from: curedtc on January 28, 2013, 22:18:54
Can you say what they talk about in English please? :D
Basically this is what the Peru's organizer says:
They tried to bring the band to Peru in 2008, then in 2010, and they restarted the negotiations in October 2012.
Robert was upset after the problems in the gigs in Argentina (1987) and after that it seems (that's the organizer's view, no Robert's view, I think) he didn't want to return to Argentina and the region.
Most bands tour to promote a new album, this is not the case with Robert Smith.
Tickets will go on sale this February 1st.
The tickets have reasonable prices (this is true, I was surprised about the low prices)
Robert Smith is involved in all the details of the show.
The show in Lima will be filmedThe Cure will play 3 hours of concert (this we know it already ;)
Robert Smith plays with 'depression' and 'happiness' in his songs.
The Cure was an urban myth in Peru for many years.
I guess Tim Pope is doing it as he tweeted random things earlier! Would be awesome.

really? I will ask him on Twitter! Are you going to Lima?
See what he tweeted earlier about going on a trip.... I was only guessing! :D
And I dont think so, I am in England and at university! :(

there was a round trip ticket to Lima from London 250 pounds if I'm right! ;)
anyway, just saw Tim's tweet. this will be awesome!
Haha really, where? :P
Quote from: curedtc on January 28, 2013, 23:05:43
Haha really, where? :P
i said "there was" :) however, if there's again a good deal, I'll publish it here. From my side, I will be traveling from Madrid with KLM (direct flight to Lima) and the price is very reasonable: about 600 EUR (514 GBP) round trip!
For those in Europe, I just saw an excellent offer: Madrid/Lima/Madrid to just 447 EUR roundtrip with American Airlines (stop in Miami) for April!
Just bought my flight ticket to Lima! :smth026
Friday, I'll buy the one for the concert :smth020

Mary, hemos actualizado la informacion sobre hostales/hoteles cerca del estadio (http://curefans.com/new-curefans-com-staff-zone/2013-04-17-lima-estadio-nacional-(peru)/)
Another interview with the organizer. The only difference with the previous interview (http://curefans.com/the-cure-live/2013-04-17-lima-estadio-nacional-(peru)/msg758395/#msg758395) is that he said a local band will open the concert (three bands have been proposed to The Cure, and they will decide which one will finally play). He also said the capacity of the National Stadium is around 47,000.
The Cure en Lima 2013: entrevista a Coqui Fernandez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOujSugge5Y#ws)
Three days after the beginning of ticket's sales, the organizer has informed that about 10,500 tickets have been sold (in this new report, he said the National Stadium holds about 42,000 persons). The note (in Spanish) below:
http://peru21.pe/espectaculos/ya-se-vendieron-10500-entradas-the-cure-2115596 (http://peru21.pe/espectaculos/ya-se-vendieron-10500-entradas-the-cure-2115596)
Personally, I think these numbers are a bit disappointing considering the quality of the band. If my memory is correct, the only band that has sold out a gig in the National Stadium in Peru has been Soda Stereo (from Argentina). In 2007, all tickets for their concert were sold out in just 4 days. They added a second date which was sold out too.

Interesting article (in Spanish) about the negotiations to bring The Cure to Lima
http://gestion.pe/tendencias/the-cure-500-involucrados-y-seis-meses-negociacion-2058348 (http://gestion.pe/tendencias/the-cure-500-involucrados-y-seis-meses-negociacion-2058348)
Some facts:
- tickets incoming will help to pay the band's fees (which represent 2/3 of the investment)
- 500 persons will be involved in the show (including security, technicians, etc.)
- 30% of the incomings will be destinated to pay taxes
- negotiations with the band took about six months
- at least 4 event's organizers wanted to have the band in Lima
- 12,000 tickets sold so far
- New Order, Keane and The Killers are other bands playing Lima in April
Reminder: Tickets with 25% discount can be purchased until 28/02 at the latest / Entradas con 25% de descuento podrán ser compradas sólo hasta el 28 de Febrero
Can someone help me?
I'm not being eligible to purchase tickets for Lima concert. Cards issue in my country are not Verified by Visa. When I called to TuEntrada they informed that I can only buy them with a peruvian card or in one of their stores in Peru.
Just need one ticket, for Campo A, if possible. If someone has a spare ticket or could buy one for me, I can transfer you the money via Paypal.
Thanks.
Bea.
Hi Bea,
you're right. the website of tuentrada.com.pe sucks. However, I still think you can buy tickets from outside Peru.
anyway, I can buy the tickets for you with 25% discount. I will send you a PM.
you can also be sure Campo A WON'T be sold out. the reason is that about 7,500 to 10,000 tickets are available for this sector. so if you arrive a few days earlier the gig, you will be able to buy the ticket yourself.
anyway, let me know if you have more questions!

Bea, I was going through the process of purchasing a ticket and it seems with Master Card you should be able to buy a ticket even if the card was not issued in Peru. Perhaps you can borrow someone's card in Brazil and try it? This is the screenshot I see (check the file attached) if I want to pay with Master Card and as you can see, there's nothing indicated that it has to be only a 'peruvian' Master Card. Let me know!

Chicos/as peruanos de buen corazón! :) Dos favorsotes :
Pienso viajar en avion de Guayaquil a Lima en la mañana del mismo dia del concierto, dormir en el aeropuerto y regresar la mañana siguiente...una odisea pero es la unica forma de lograrlo y muero si no lo hago! Necesito recomendaciones de una compañía de taxis confiable y segura que me recojan del aeropuerto al estadio y del estadio al aeropuerto. Viajo sola y tengo terror de pedir taxi en la noche sin saber realmente si me llevan al lugar correcto.
Lo segundo: Veo que se compran las entradas en tuentrada.com pero solo en soles? hay un lugar para comprar en dolares? Sera que me arriesgo a comprar en el estadio el mismo dia? No me importa estar muy cerca, solo estar.
Abrazos a todos, espero conocerlos ese grandioso dia!
Gaby
Gaby, en cuanto a recogerte en el aeropuerto, es algo que podemos coordinar cuando llegue el momento. Alguien de curefans.com podria encargarse de eso. Asi que no te preocupes por ese tema.
En cuanto a lo segundo, le respondi a Bea hace algunos dias sobre un asunto similar (http://curefans.com/the-cure-live/2013-04-17-lima-estadio-nacional-(peru)/msg758577/#msg758577).
Mi sugerencia seria que pruebes comprar el ticket a traves de http://tuentrada.com.pe (http://tuentrada.com.pe) con una tarjeta mastercard. Antes de eso, y si lo deseas, puedes contactarlos a servicio.cliente@tuentrada.com.pe y preguntarles si puedes comprar con tal tarjeta y si puedes recoger la entrada el mismo dia del evento. Creo que es mejor que vayas a Lima habiendo comprado la entrada previamente.
Sin embargo, estoy casi seguro que tambien sera posible comprar la entrada el mismo dia y en Lima cambian de dolares a soles en cada esquina, asi que por ese lado tampoco te preocupes.
Saludos y bienvenida a curefans.com :smth023
MIL GRACIAS por la ayuda! ya encontre boleto de avion y mañana me acerco a la agencia de viajes a pagarlo :) Solo me quede averiguarme un buen hostal cerca y coordinar con alguno de uds para irnos en grupo! :smth023
Lo unico que me preocupa es lo de las entradas...solo tengo visa, no mastercard. Voy a tratar de buscar quien me preste. Una vez mas MUCHAS GRACIAS!

I wonder if someone can help me - I bought Lima tickets from abroad and I'm supposed to pick it up in one of the "puntos de venda". I've got the list of addresses (https://www.tuentrada.com/Online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=9A1B0C96-341C-4A2A-8CCF-51167D7C72A9 (https://www.tuentrada.com/Online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=9A1B0C96-341C-4A2A-8CCF-51167D7C72A9)) but have no idea which one is the closest from the stadium.
Does anyone know?

the link you shared is from Argentina. The 'Puntos de venta' for Peru are these:
http://tuentrada.com.pe/shops.asp (http://tuentrada.com.pe/shops.asp)
the closest point to the Stadium would be Plaza Vea from Centro Civico (Centro Civico is a Shopping Center and Plaza Vea is a Supermarket)
may I ask what kind of card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) did you use to buy your ticket from outside? I am asking this because some people was unable to buy from abroad (for instance, I had to buy the ticket for a Brazilian girl who could not use her card)
Hello Lilia.
"Tu entrada" module closest to Estadio Nacional is in supermarket "Plaza Vea" which is located in a mall called "REAL PLAZA" . Only five minutes to stadium.
Here you can take "Metropolitano Bus". Central Station is located in REAL PLAZA MALL, and the next station is "ESTADIO NACIONAL" (National Stadium), only 3-minutes!
If you have another question, please let me know.
And as a CUREosity, tell us, where are you from?
Best Wishes!

Lilia, just for clarification Centro Civico = Real Plaza Mall. Centro Civico was the former name for this place.
Thanks guys!!
As for me, I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I look Japanese though because my family is from Japan. And I have a Swedish surname cos my husband is Finnish - a bit of a mutt I am haha

Hello my friend. i think recording the show in Lima would be a great idea! Please let me know if someone has a good audio record equipment. I will try to find something.
However, in many occasions, there are people who record a lot of shows in Lima in dvd and then buy they in "Polvos Azules" Gallery. It would be an option.
Besth WISHes!
It really depends on your budget. You can get a very nice recording by spending about 100 U.S. dollars on a mini disc with an external microphone. Anotyher option would be to buy an "electronic recorder" available at any music equiptment store for about 200 U.S. dollars. This would be the best and easiest since there is no need to change discs or tapes. There are many good models with internal microphones. Feel to PM me for more details. Generally an IPhone will NOT make good sound recordings and my fear is that many people will try this with bad results.

Hello,
I will probably tape the gig (I taped the Milano gig last year). If I do, I will publish the recording here at curefans.com. Cheers.

Peruvian madness for The Cure!
For the first time in Cure's story (I haven't seen something like this in any past tour - correct me if I am wrong) fans in Peru started camping last Saturday 6th April,
11 DAYS BEFORE The Cure's concert in Lima - scheduled for April 17!
At the moment of writing this there are just a few tents (about 6) but expect more this Sunday, 72 hours before the concert.
There were some rumours in Lima in the past days about some tents outside the National Stadium and yesterday our friend LR at listadark.com went there and talked to the people (report in Spanish below). He was told the first tents were installed on April 6. He also took some pictures:

Quote
Ayer pasé por el Estadio Nacional como lo pediste y pues sí, ya habían 06 carpas instaladas, y casi todas desde el día sábado; además ellos presenciaron que ya estaban armando el escenario aunque no especificaron desde qué día.
Las carpas están ubicadas frente a la Vía Expresa, entre los sectores Sur & Oriente del Estadio Nacional, cerca al paradero del Metropolitado llamado también "Estadio.Nacional". Allí les dijeron que entrarían los que compraron tickets para CAMPO A. Aunque nadie les aseguró que sólo allí podrían acampar esa zona todas las zonas, o en qué otras zonas del estadio también acamparían de acuerdo al boleto comprado.
Lo curioso es que sólo una carpa era ocupada por personas de provincia, de Arequipa para ser más específicos. Las demás eran de Chorrillos, Santa Anita, y demás distritos.
Otro dato era que no todas las carpas estaban ocupadas, quiere decir que sólo las instalaron y viene uno que otro dueño a verlas, otras carpas si estaban rotando personal pero no las 24 horas, y algunos se valían de los vigilantes del Estadio Nacional para que sus carpas estén siempre vigiladas, claro, bajo una "voluntad" que les puedan alcanzar diariamente porque los vigilantes también rotan.
Converse con una señorita llamada GISELA, y al entablar conversación me di cuanta que no era un personaje que estuviera acampando para "vender cola" el día del concierto, pero no me aseguró que los propietarios de otras carpas sí lo hiciesen. Además conoce gente "del ambiente" como ella citaba, y hasta sabía que el martes 16 habría una congregación de personas que saldrían desde algo llamado "The Blood" y llegarían juntos al coloso José Díaz.

slds.
alguien sabe cuando y a que hora llegan los Cure a Lima? para darme una vuelta por el aeropuerto?
saludos
entiendo que la banda estara unas 72 horas por Chile. ellos llegaron el Sabado por la noche a Santiago, asi que estimo que estaran en suelo peruano manana por la tarde/noche. esa es la informacion que tengo.
Por el post de Tim Pope en su pagina Web, efectivamente, parece que manana llegan a territorio nacional.

Tim Pope acaba de mencionar en su Twitter que estara en la "convencion de The Cure". El unico encuentro de fans de The Cure el dia de hoy es el organizado por nosotros hoy en el Pardo's asi que vayan con su mejor look, porque por alli puede aparecer el Director del In Orange!
Otra cosa, Tim tambien dice en su Twitter que estara filmando fuera del Estadio Nacional a eso de la 5pm.

Alguien sabe la ubicación exacta del Hotel de Robert Smith en estos momentos?
Algunos indican de muy buenas fuentes que esta en un Hotel en las afueras de Lima ya que a Robert no le gustan los hoteles modernos ni famosos.
Por otro lado cual es el requisito para ingresar al Pardos Chicken de 2 de Mayo en San Isidro el día de hoy?
Habra una lista en la entrada?
Como se si estoy en la lista?
I just want to wish all my curefans friends in Lima a GREAT SHOW (sadly I can't be with you)
Special big hug to my friend David
All the best
Enjoy the show... Have great time... and...
Take Cure

the most important day in Peru's music history: The Cure's plays tonight. It's 7am and I am going to the Stadium now. Already lots of people camping there. will post more later.
lo que se vivio la noche de hoy en el nacional de Lima fue increíble, vi a los cure felices, riendo, el concierto fue lo máximo ojalá regresen una y mil veces más, estoy feliz.
como dato curioso: el Smith se quebró en Disintegration y se puso a llorar, los otros cure tuvieron que sacarlo por lo tocado que estaba el buen Smith.
I have seen The Cure 9 times and seeing them in my hometown was like my second first time (as contradictory as this might sound). The band felt really comfortable on stage and the crowd was absolutely mad. I was very close to the stage, at about 15 metters.
It was very emotional because I enjoyed the concert with my school friends from the Salesiano school (also because I went to the venue with some people I met here through curefans.com).
I discovered The Cure with some of my friends from Salesiano back in 1993, so we had to wait like two decades to see them in Lima! Every song was sung by the crowd like you have no idea. Most of us knew the show was going to end with "Killing An Arab", so we did an infernal pogo at the end. It was absolutely madness.
I am going to write and post more (photo, my long review, etc.) info next week, as the Internet connection I have right now sucks.
And by the way. Today I went to the Hotel where the band was staying to see if I could see Bob. And guess what, I met him! He came out and signed autographes for about 50 fans there! Shortly after he went to the airport to take his flight to Bogota. I had a small talk with him:
Bob: (signing my concert ticket)
dsanchez: I was at Euro Summer tour last year :)
Bob: were you?
dsanchez: Yes!
Bob: (smiles)
dsanchez: Can you play Piggy In The Mirror next time?
Bob: that's a strange request (WTF face)
dsanchez: well, if you can
Bob: If I can? (WTF face)
Bob: Of course I can!
:)
And he signed my concert ticket (see photo attached the moment when he is signing it :)
oh David, I am so touched...If I imagine that I could be there...it had to be a great gig.
did you record the show?
and nice conversation with Bob :)

So happy for u David! Major envy here..: )
almost a breakdown for me reading this.
Piggy in the mirror! way to go bro.
Sussex, nice to see you around! how you doing, pal? Are you going to see the band in South Korea? I am considering that, if I find a cheap flight from Europe (which might be difficult).
I am currently in a hotel in Madrid and tomorrow I catch a flight to Prague. Really curious about tonight's show in Mexico!
And I have PLENTY of information on The Cure's show in Lima. Will share that later! :)

Im good mate. A little busy with my job at current. So glad that I can still follow the band update here. Miss them so much. South Korea, it's in my thought though..will check upon finishing all the work. Been there in the festival website, but its all in Korean. Pretty sad.
Cant wait for the PLENTY info. Say that they are having a tour closer to us in Asia. It will rock my year!
U take care. I'm listening to the Peru set list now. hehe.
Happiness only real when sharedby dsanchezPuta madre! is an expression that has different meanings in the Spanish language. One of the meanings would be "I can't believe it". It's then no surprise why this expression was repeated again and again during The Cure's gig in Lima. When the band hit the stage, or when they played "Push" or "Open" that's what the audience felt: Puta madre! – (I can't believe they're playing finally in my town!).
The Cure is quite famous in South America, and so is in Peru. After Depeche Mode played Lima during their Tour of The Universe, The Cure was the only big band missing.
There were too many rumors in the last decade, but when Robert said last year that the band was touring South America in April, I guess most Peruvians thought "it's now or never"
Living in Europe, I had the chance to see the band eight times before Lima's show. Of course, I will never forget Hamburg's 2002 show –my first Cure show- neither the outstanding 'Reflections' in London 2011. But The Cure's in Lima was just too special, and was for me like a second first time (if that ever exists). Seeing the band in your town, with the people you discovered their music with (I went to the gig with some of my friends from the Salesiano school, the place where I discovered this music), is priceless.
It's hard to describe in a few words the whole experience of seeing The Cure. It all started the day before when we met Tim Pope at the gathering we organized.
Never in my life I thought I could shake hands with the creator of The Cure's best concert video ever – In Orange. And the next day, I went early in the morning (around 08h30) to meet some people from Curefans.com and other friends to organize us at the queue (http://curefans.com/gallery/index.php/live/2013/The-Cure-Latin-American-Tour/Lima), because Peruvians are mad: some people had tents outside the venue since several days before the concert date! (in Europe you just need to arrive a few hours before the show to get a good place). At almost 18h00 (after waiting like 10 hours in a very sunny day) the doors finally opened. The waiting was worth it, because we got to be very close to the stage.
Shortly after our entrance, the first support band, Kinder, appeared on stage and they did a great job. Their music, a combination of Mogwai and Dif Juz was approved by the crowd, except for an annoying guy who was screaming all the time "Dolores Delirio", the local band he wanted to see on stage. 19h30 was the turn for Resplandor (a famous shoegaze band in Peru), and to our surprise, the frontman, Antonio Zelada, didn't appear. His place was taken by a beautiful girl who sung and played the bass guitar. Antonio was in the right side of the stage taking pictures instead. Their show was good, too, but not as good as Kinder's performance, in my opinion.
The Cure was supposed to hit the stage at 20h30. Instead, they appeared at 20h50. It seems the organizers were waiting for more people to come in. The stadium looked packed (see photo below) and it seems there were nearly 40,000 out of a 42,000 venue capacity; one of the highest attendances of the LatAm2013 Tour (and, to give you an idea, two times more people than the highest attendance of the 2008's 4Tour in Europe. That was Paris Bercy with just a 20,000 attendance).

When the notes of "Tape" started to roll and the lights were turned off, I could feel the collective hysteria. More
Puta madre!, more screamings, more claps, more tears. Unlike some countries in Europe, it's totally normal for South American fans to sing along with the band (and anyway, if you're seeing The Cure for first time in your life, I can hardly imagine that one would just look static and stare at them).
And the concert opened with "Open" and the screams multiplied. People hugging each other, crying, screaming, dancing, singing. They couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I looked around: yes, that's my city's stadium, and that's my favourite band and those are my friends. What else could I need? And the line of Jesus and Mary Chain's Head On came to my mind:
And the way I feel tonight, I could die and wouldn't mind.
I won't comment too much on the setlist which is well known and very similar to the one used in the last European Summer tour. Instead, I could say which songs drove more people mad: those would be "Push", "Pictures of you", "A Forest", "Play For Today" and of course the pop (popular) songs which I don't need to mention. Do I?
A special mention to Robert's effort for trying a Peruvian's zampoña at the beginning of "Bananafishbones". He also dedicated "A Forest" to Gary Biddles (who died recently) a one time a onetime roadie for The Cure who sang in Fools Dance and Presence in the '80s and '90.
Before the final encore, Jason did an impromptu (something unusual on Cure shows), followed by the smiles of the band.
The two final songs of the night were celebrated with total euphoria. People did a pogo during "10:15 Saturday Night" and specially during "Killing An Arab",
I guess everyone knew at this point that that was the last of the show and so everybody danced, screamed and did pogo like a crazy, like if it was the end of the world.
That night was one of the highlights of my life. There was The Cure, and there were my long time friends and some very fine people I met. As I learned when I watched "Into The Wild", happiness is only real when shared. I think what I lived, is a vivid example of this. Thank you, The Cure, Thank you, my friends.
By the way, just noticed America Television (one of the biggest TV stations in Peru) published our pic at the fan meeting with Tim Pope :P

David your story was beautiful, brought a tear to my eye. I agree it is a wonderful experience to see The Cure in concert...........................but it is a magical experience to spend it with your fellow Cure friends.
Still hoping we'll get a look in soon for a tour here. Unfortunately Japan & South Korea are so far away in a financial way for me. And anyway I don't even have a passport. I've led a very sheltered & boring life hehe :D
