Just got back from the show. The sound was horrible!!!
Hovet is probably the venue with the worst acoustic in Stockholm-area. It always gets bassy, even though I was standing in centre of floor section! This bad I haven't experienced a concert ever since Audioslave in 2005 (bassy as hell). Shame really, cause this is the very first time I get to see The Cure live, and the bands first visit to Sthlm since 1996 (also played Hovet).

Thank japanesebaby to give us the setlist

It's a good setlist, nothing surprising. But i hope they will play more new
songs on this tour

It was great that they played 3 hours.

I'm sorry MheAd that the accoustic was horrible at the venue.
When that happens it could cloud the fun.
Hope you have the change to see the band on another Concert on this tour.

Robert said that they would visit Stockholm again sooner than we think! It was a great concert, he had changed some lines in please project too

It's probably important to keep in mind that they're not touring an album. What do bands play when they're not touring something in particular? Typically speaking, their greatest hits. Give it some time before you write them off. Imagine how wrong you could be.

not many bands can do a world tour, without releasing an album...

- that does mean good news for fans.... because, by the time the new album is released... we are going to ask for another tour right!!???

and a big thanks to JB for keeping us up late.. I mean up to date!!!

Disappointing set.
Many thanks to Marika
Hope this isn't the shape of things to come.

Typical set for the last couple of years, which seems boring to those of us online. I'm curious to hear opinions of those who've not seen this lineup before on the performance.

I can say that the Rod Laver Arena was great in melb., AND ,loud too!! just the way i like it... I remember seeing U2

at the MCG and the accoustics were shocking.. open air... and the echo around the stands,

not to mention how crap the band was!!

There hasn't been that many concerts the last couple years...so there's some songs in there that are still fresh like How Beautiful you are, Jumping, Wrong Number, Grinding Halt, etc which were rarely played before 2007... plus 3 new songs... so its not all bad.....

I'm sure they'll mix it up like they did in Mexico and then play more new songs as the tour progresses into North America...

blugel · February 10, 2008, 02:08:35

i think the big problem here is the lack of news about the new album...just tell us something, release date, progress, etc....that comment about being back sooner than anyone expects leads me to wonder if they'll go on a proper tour for the album when it is released, but once again, no news on when that might be....would like to still believe that march 31/april 1 rumor, but its coming up and nothing said yet...any new merchandise that might give any hints? oh well, looks like a great show nonetheless and still can't wait to see them in chicago!

I expect Robert would give some indication soon about the new album as no doubt he'll be repeatedly questioned from fans and media as the tour goes along

Lazy set.
Can't Porl learn some other stuff?
I watched Led Zep (the song remains the same) today & it is an perfect example of how NOT to play live
Hope the Cure get it together before they get here.

Thanks japanesebaby for being our setlist monitor at the concert
