[olivier will report live for Curefans.com]
YEEAAAHH!!!!!!
Perhaps I'm going to this show too, if I'm not too tire by the road :D
Can anyone find the The Cure on the www.ticketline.pt site??
ok, found it listed now, got tix, yay! :D
Is there someone from Lisbonne who know a cheap hotel ???
I ordered my ticket !!!
Now I need a bedroom for 2 days (Friday night and saturday night) !!! :lol:
And someone who speak portuguese or spanish !!!
I have my ticket ...
All my friends will be going to Paris :( So I'll see the Cure in Portugal (if all goes well - work, visas, hotel, etc.) all alone... Ordered my ticket last week and now I'm getting worried that it can be lost on its way - how long it takes (usually)for tix to arrive?
If I remember I ordered the ticket monday or thuesday and received it Friday or saturday don't remember excatly but quickly !!!
I can't say the same thing against Anvers !!!
i only saw this post now.
so to whoever comes to lisbon, here's 1 advice: you DO NOT want to book an hotel NEAR the venue, unless you want to bore yourself to death!
the venue is located at the place where expo 98 took place. the whole are has been optimized ever since to enterprises, some residencial areas, a big mall, etc, a "new city within the city". unless you bring your rollerblades, you will have little to do in this area. only place worst to visit there is the Oceanario (big aquarium). there are some bars and discos there, but they are CRAP!
so you want to stay in the center, where the FUN is. transports to the venue are no problem, bus, subway, taxi, whatever.
i can research some hotels and stuff later if there is interest. any info you'ld like post here and i'll answer later.
Thank you nosigner :smth023

i don't know about that hotel. the area is not a bad one, but could be a bit more central imo.
here are some more central stuff i found with the same star rating as this one:

this site haves several pensions linked:

please note that i have no idea about the conditions or prices of any of the hotels/ pensions listed.

this site haves a map with several hotels linked:
http://www.booking.com/hotel/pt/residencialmardosacores.pt.html
best central areas to stay?
marques de pombal, avenida da liberdade, chiado, restauradores, bairro alto (althought it's noisy because of all the bars).
just my 2 cents :)
Thanks for the link, I'm going to see about the hotel !!!
Are you from Lisbonne ???
Got my ticket today! I'm the happiest girl on earth!!!! YAY!!! :rocker
I was about to help you guys, but Nosigner already did :).
People from The Cure Portugal forum, will meet before the concert... you guys are welcome :)
Thank you carnagevisors !!!
But I don't speak potuguese I hope they speak english !!!
I think I'm alone in Liboa. Perhaps a friend come with me but not sure !!!
Lisboa is a great city, I wish I was there at the concert...
Of course we speak English... some even speak French :P
Good !!!
I will be in Lisboa the 7 march !!!
Well, if everything is all right, I'll be in Lisbon on 7th of March... I'm going there all alone, so I'd like to know where and when fans meeting will take place.... I hate to be alone at the show! Some cure-friends around would be nice!
PS: Can anyone tell me the exact address of Pavilhao Atlantico? I tried to find in on the map but failed...
I don't know the adress if someone can confirm ...
I will be there on March 7 also, but I haven't yet taken my flight and my hotel, I wait the confimation of the madrid concert

It's in the Parque das Nações (nation's park) where the Expo 98 was held. Near the Tagus River and, bridge, shopping mall and tower all named Vasco da Gama (you won't miss it). If you want to get there by bus, train or subway (red line)... just get to "Estação do Oriente"(Orient Station) and you're near.
I'll only be there day 8, but I'll let you know about the meeting as soon as it's arranged.

why do you insist in getting people lost? :-D
and you forgot to translate some names over there.
for the record:
forte da casa (strong of the house)
quinta da piedade (mercy farm)
What is the best solution to go to the center from the airport ???
Taxi, metro, bus ???
To go to the Pavilhão Atlântico I think metro is the most easy solution no ???

And thanks for the useful translations.//
Probably taxi, or bus cause there's no metro there. But the moor(nosigner) can tell you better than me.

there is no subway to the airport in lisbon unfortunetly yet. so the only way is by bus or by taxi.
and to go to the venue the best solution is the subway. is the last station of the red line. then when you walk out of the station you have right in front a big mall called vasco da gama that haves side by side 2 big towers, wich is an absolut waste of time inside. the venue is behind that building.
or you can catch bus from cais do sodre, i think number 28 goes to expo.
Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to take the taxi this the most easy way to go to the hotel directly.
And to go to the venue I'm going to wait you in a bar behind a beer if you're OK !!! :-D

You know, it's hard for us the Portuguese to go to Morocco... but I was doing my best to let the other European fellows move around on those wild Arab lands.

Nice to see you back here with us Scatcat :)
back from lisboa - what a great time! :rocker
i would have sent more comments but my phone was funny and i received these "failed" messages for some things i tried to sent and then i didn't bother typing the same things all over the again.
anyway, this was clearly the BEST show of all the ones i've seen so far, definitely! awesome crowds & atmosphere (now i really realized how totally lame the vienna show was now. sorry but that crowd just sucked!)
this time the band was in a really good mood and really enjoying themselves. and porl was especially awesome (need to write more about that...!), he was really jaw-dropping! :shock: :smth035
yes, i had this big cardboard sign saying "OTHER VOICES". i was quite near the stage on porl's side and i tried to hold the sign up whenever robert walked to that end of the stage. he did see me during 'kyoto song', he was looking straight at me and smiling - after that he ignored me and my sign :( - and they didn't play it. :(
hey whatever then. anyway, we had fun there, some people around me rooting for me and my "mission other voices"... :smth023
(i just wish they don't decide to play it on barcelona tonight, otherwise i'll be maaaaaad... :evil:)
but more about all that a bit later... need to rest a bit here first.
actually, i woke up 10.30 am on the concert day, went sightseeing for a few hours, then went to the venue in the afternoon, then: the show > after-party until appr. 4.30 am(?) > quickly back to my hotel around 5 am, to grab my things > taxi to the airport > morning flight to finland, arrived here in the afternoon around 15.30 pm.
i was planning to sleep in the plane but couldn't sleep a wink. this means i've been up for about 30 hours now and i think i'm getting slightly paranoid/delirious here... hehe :P
ps. thanks to all the people involved there in lisboa! :smth023

actually, i was talking about this after the show with ceho (from cureconnections). and we noticed that we agreed that even though one can easily bash the set lists when simply looking at them/reading through them and say they are repetitive, especially the encores (i've said that too, i know!).but actually, i have to take some of my previous possibly foul words back somewhat. because when you look at the band on stage now, when the atmospher's there and everything sort of clicks,when you look at them you can see how genuinely the band enjoys it, being on stage, playing those songs. so actually it's not quite right to say "come on, just stop that nonsense and just play 'faith' and ' the figurehead' for us!" - because the band you see on stage is definitely a band that is on GOOD mood, that's how they seem to be at the moment. so maybe playing 'faith' would mean they would have to "force" themselves to be a bit gloomy or something. maybe it's just not the most natural thing for them
right now. so in this respect, when i fully realized this yesterday, i think i kind of forgive them whatever lovecats sillyness they do there - i'm not saying i prefer that to 'faith' (or 'other voices'!!!). no i don't prefer it. but you somehow can't accuse them for doing what they do, as long as they do it naturally - and i think they just seem to be a very naturally happy band at the moment.
so let ol' bob dance all he wants now - because i'm sure there'll come a time when he'll be all gloomy and moody and all disintegrating again. ;)
Hello everybody and specially Marika !!!
I'm happy to meet you again in Lisboa, we spend a really great moment !!!
I'm not agree with you about "OTHER VOICES", I hope they play it in Barcelona :-D
and if they play it I give you a big kiss in Paris !!!
I'm agree with you about what you say about the setlist and THE CURE, they are really happy on stage, and as we say yesterday I'm very surprise that everybody are dancing on the pop song and when THE CURE start to play Primary, 100 years or Disintegration fro exemple, nobody moved and stay quiet :shock: !!!
So now have a good night Marika !!!

that's true, especially when they played the section Push/Friday I'm In Love/Inbetween Days/Just Like Heaven/Primary - i personally thought that 'primary' was definitely the crown jewel of that set of songs, something to top it all... and yet suddenly everyone was just standing pretty quietly... there was just this one guy next to me who was really into 'primary' and with whom we were like "wtf...???" - so yes, it was weird sometimes! :shock:
but everyone went just absolutely completely crazy during 'boys don't cry' :shock:
crazy people! :lol:
(but at least they were also just standing and staring during 'freak show' haha :P)

You know, I had kind of the same reaction in Milan -- the weeks before the concert I kept saying ""Oh I hope they do the Faith encore, please do the Faith encore, blah blah blah" but once I was there, I felt like it just wouldn't have fit in with the whole mood of the night... Not that I wouldn't have liked it, but as you say, it would have felt kind of forced. It just wasn't that kind of concert. (Also, it wasn't that kind of crowd.) So I understand exactly how you feel. Even now that I've got the recording of the concert in the car playing constantly, instead of listening to the 17 Seconds encore, which I had thought would be the high point of the concert for me, I keep listening to The Kiss, Never Enough, The Baby Screams etc. -- the band just really rocked on those, those are the songs that take me back to the feel of that night.
:rocker
Great Show!!!!
It was my first Cure concert, was amazing to live all that envoirement, the songs... everything was perfect!!!
To be 100% perfect I had to hear TRUST...my favorite song!
hello luigi :D
you gave me your email address after the show, for the pics, remember? and i gave you the flyer ;) - nice to see you here!
i still need to sort out and upload the pics... i'll let you know.
Nice meeting you Japanese Baby :)
It was a good show indeed, as most of the tour. Too bad they don't change that much between shows... so for me I saw almost the same thing as in Madrid. Maybe in Paris and London things change. :P
