It's a 90minute set, which isn't all bad.
I'm just not looking forward to the amount of smelly people that always happen to be slopping over you at huge gigs :(

The Cure's set this night was SO fun! Poppy and single-focused, yes, but who cared? The whole balcony went CRAZY dancing the minute they took the stage. Wonderful!
