Often same time

2.  How much time is there between the 65dos and Cure sets?

Maybe 30 to 40 minutes before The Cure

3.  How is the volume of The Cure's show in relation to 65dos?  Similar, louder... ?

A little bit louder

 

seriously, lullaby was very LOUD, they really cranked up the bass there. funny how most people who weren't taping didn't even notice this though. but just check it in the waveform and it really stands out (see attachment: just guess what song's about to start there? that's the end of 'pictures of you' and the beginning of 'lullaby').
so it's definitely wise to leave a good amount of headroom when setting your levels. 

I would say (& it is apparent in a lot of the recordings around) the bass levels are pretty heavy, like thunder.

sure, they are quite strong on bass now. but i really do hope these comments won't encourage people to decide to use excess roll-off or something.:/
bassless/thin recordings from this tour simply won't sound like this tour much at all. there has to be a nice amount of bass on 2008 recordings! otherwise it'll sound like some silly bluegrass band or something.

and it's always simple and easy for everyone themselves to use real-time EQing while listening and take it down as much as they want. but it's impossible to add it on the recording later if you already decided to cut it off with roll-off in the recording process: you can't boost frequencies that weren't even recorded(!).
just make sure your mics can handle the amounts of bass and that the levels aren't too high, to avoid distortion.

65dos came on 15 minutes early in Merksem.  30-40 minutes for those guys. 

I'd agree that The Cure turn it up a bit.  And Yes, Lullaby is bass heavy and louder.  Give yourself some headroom!  I didn't notice any change in WCIBY, but then I only went to two shows.  Was there an increase in Paris?  Looking at the wave for Merksem, Lullaby is the only one that stands out.

Also, they are running in stereo.  Recording from Simon's side will get you a Simon-heavy tape.  Porl's side seems to be Porl, Robert, and kick drum heavy.       

On "one hundred years" the sound is much loud at the end of the song.
and yes Lullaby is bass heavy and louder.
