so, guys - there is NOT a Kansas bootleg in the space?
just ensure me

I would gladly listen to it, although Robert's voice sucked because of illness, the others played so well!

Is there some "evil" spirit in this city? Just found that in 2006, Depeche Mode had to cancel the show after 50 minutes due Dave's laryngitis. And as all you have readed in this topic, Robert had serious problems with this throat. Strange coincidences...

By the way, DM played also in the Starlight Theatre :roll:

Don't think so... Robert got sick while in Canada prior to the Kansas City show, and apparently Dave got sick from being in Mexico previous to their show.

Similarly, Depeche Mode had to cancel their Chicago concert while Robert started developing his voice problems at the Chicago-area show from last year.

Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails also got sick at Lollapalooza in Chicago last year, which was their first show after playing in Canada.

See a pattern here?  ;)

Well, let's see how this one goes!

Sure.  I had planned on it.  :smth023

nausearockpig

crowbi_wan

Yep, I did see them just yesterday.  Good stuff!  But how about them showing up for a surprise set at the SXSW festival?  Opened up with Three Days.  :rocker



 

 

nausearockpig

by the way have you checked out xiola.org/bored ? interesting lot there....  come say hi, but watch out for the Uberfans....

ps.. soo jealous re you seeing them last night.. damn you, damn you to hell.... hhahahha

crowbi_wan

Oh, I didn't mean I saw Jane's last night, just the two songs on nin.com. 

And yeah, I knew of that board.  I think you alerted me to it back when I upped my Troubadour audio.  People were talking about it over there.  8)

nausearockpig

oh right...

well enjoy when you DO see them, I only ever saw Jane's lite with Chaney on bass so it's not the same thing... and Pornos with Mike Watt on bass..

Concert Review: The Cure at Starlight
http://blogs.pitch.com/wayward/2008/05/concert_review_the_cure_at_sta.php

No, I don't think anyone has posted that. Very funny you should mention it though, as I just happened to stumble upon it a few days ago by accident.

Anyway, I think it's just further proof that the opening 65dos set was one of the loudest shows ever played, and that I'm not just imagining it:

Sat through the U.K. instrumental act 65Daysofstatic, who are perhaps the loudest band I've ever heard. Like an industrial version of Explosions in the Sky – or a perfect match for Placebo – the synth-terrorists created a sonic boom of sound that was mixed at almost painful levels, even with earplugs. Still, they were a nice enough diversion for a half-hour set.


Seriously, the Mogwai show I saw a couple weeks ago was NOTHING compared to this, in terms of volume. 65dos was just way too loud. I couldn't enjoy it at all, even though I really like their music.  :x

Seeing them play in broad daylight to a crowd that only seemed to be waiting for The Cure didn't help either...

By the way, this pic:




Looks suspiciously like the one I took at the beginning of the show:




:lol:

i also remember the loudness 65dos in general, on those dates that i saw them (not this one though ;)).
since i didn't know their music before that time so i couldn't even try and start recognizing any of their songs. but just being able to hear this one big sonic near-painful boom didn't quite help much with trying to memorize/remember anything much about what they played. :/

funny how the pics look so similar, the same angle and everything.
by the way there are some nice pics in the slideshow linked to that review mentioned above:
