Just a quick question..

Does anyone know what the numbers and letters mean on this setlist..??

Numbers = BPM..???

BPM is beats per minute, a measure of tempo.

I've always wondered if Jason plays to a click track when they play live. Does anyone know? I really started to wonder after that strange background stuff going on for "Open" during Live 8.

I've seen the BPM on many Cure set lists, and it doesn't necessarily mean Jason's playing to a click track.  A drummer friend of mine used them to remind him of the tempo of a particular song... but who knows?
