Concert pictures
another fun-choice, though not surprising, excellent venue - but only if it is sold-out or almost sold-out, otherwise it can look + feel very cold inside, I simply fear the Arena is a bit too big, hopefully a few people turn up :lol:
I wouldn't worry that the Color Line Arena will sell out very fast. The Capacity is ca. 15 000
that is a lot :)
I'm really looking forward to the concert. I like the Arena, because i've got it in good memories :)
got my ticket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I need standing tickets as all my friends are standing, but if I can't I will use this. Thanks again.
anyone else going from hamburg to berlin by train?
i'm considering to take the 10:05 am (from hamburg), or the next one (11:03).
it seems reasonable to buy tickets in advance since the prices can be lower.

I was talking with my boyfriend and he told me he's sure tonight we'll have some good surprises from this show...I have the same sensation and I really don't know why...just hope it will become real!!! :-D

I dont think this will happen...unless Tof or japanesebaby want to be naked :). I will, however, bring some extra shirts for the Paris gig, and hopefully will try to get one to Robert personally *dream* :roll:

I was thinking to print a big Curefans.com banner before going to Europe, kind of this
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2402/2182903039_8ab11180ba.jpg?v=0)
What do you think? Or is too nerd? :-D
hhmmm.. "The Love You Make"... is that a Beatles banner?
A HUGE CUREFANS.COM banner would be great!!
not nerdy though, but just remember to put The Cure on it!! :-D :-D :-D
I love banners, for me it's ok! :smth023
I'm pretty sure I'll have a banner at the italian shows! ;)
:D i wanna stay awake for this gig... I had to got to bed the last 2 concerts!! ( it's now 3 am in the morning here!)... :smth023
NEED MORE COFFEE!!! :evil:
Couple of hours left! :smth023
The concert started with Plainsong. Please check the first post of this topic for updates.
:smth060
i love the inclusion of How Beauiful You Are !!
They also included Hot Hot Hot. Would be nice to hear Piggy in the mirror and Mint car, next time :smth023
it's lighter than the first night, hey? i dunno about 'piggy in the Mirror'.. :shock: when was the last time they played this live? does anyone know off the top of their heads? ;)

must be the setlist... nothing to comment on what hasn't been said before. Only 'surprise' being Hot Hot Hot - lovely, one of the songs I absolutely can't stand (for me one of their worst singles EVER - a song I always hope they'll never play again), thanks for the livecoverage tonight again, though! hm, the next concerts I will probably just check the next morning if they played something rather unexpected.
Quote from: Hero on February 15, 2008, 23:23:22

Sorry, had to go to the police station for a bit. I'm moving to my parents these last weeks and when you want to move (and you bring your stuff with you) you have to request a permission to the police :? (if they stop me on the way and I don't have this permission, they might think I'm stealing from someone else :P). Crazy country, I know!
Again thanks to japanesebaby for their awesome contribution!
:D "awesome atmosphere".. thanks JB!!!
last encore predictable, but i like that set!! I waited all night in melb. for 10:15 and Killing An Arab!!

EXACTLY!!! 3 hours, every night, belting out songs...maybe because everyone is following it on here, the encores seem "boring"...if you just went to the show, without knowing what they were going to play, probably have a different attitude..
I mean, if it's so boring, don't go when they come to your country..hmm??

@melly
Well bl00dy said.
I can't think of another band that does that.
& for those who think a "good" set list is the magic solution, just put that Festival DVD on.
What a load of rubbish. A brilliant selection of songs, badly performed & badly filmed.
Only DVD I can think of that's worse is The Song Remains The Same.
Sloppy performances of good songs are worse than good performances of bad ones IMHO.
I never complained about the whole thing. I think the main set was pretty marvelous, i just think they should switch the encores around a bit. I didn't say the band was boring, they are the best band on the planet and when i go and see them they could play one song and that would be brilliant.
Sorry if i sounded childish and ungrateful, i didn't mean to be.
Quote from: melly on February 16, 2008, 09:50:50
EXACTLY!!! 3 hours, every night, belting out songs..
Only the best band of the planet can do three hours every night. It really shows how deep they care about their fans, playing so long at every concert.
Hm, I enyoyed the gig. Ok, some of their songs are still boring me to death ( POY, Open, Please Project,...), but most of them are brillant ( Hot, Hot, Hot, Prayers for rain, Disintegration, 100 Years and the encores ).
The worst of all -> my favorite song ( It used to me ) has never been performed so far...:-((
:-D hey David, do you have another 'appointment' with the police tonght?
I'm staying up for this one... :smth023
Yesterday's show in Hamburg was really great. Best for me was How Beautiful You Are, Jumping, To Wish Impossible Things and Prayers.
After the show I got the setlist from the mixing desk and on it are 5 additional songs. If Only Tonight and The Kiss at the end of the mainset. The Lovecats to begin the pop encore and TIB and FIC at the beginning of the last encore. What a pitty, they didn't play these songs.

I'm sorry I singled out your quote Hero, I wasn't just having a shot at you, please don't think that...just I have read several comments LIKE yours, and I just got a little peed off...you know, the man (Robert) is pushing 50, the others are no spring chickens ( except for the drummer, early 40's!) they are doing a huge tour, night after night, 3 hours, for the fans... and no, I'm not an "I love Robert no matter what" fan, I am just being realistic, looking at it from a different aspect I guess.. the superhuman effort being made by the guys is, quite frankly, amazing...
thanks for these liks crowbi !! :smth023
god i wish i was there... how awesome!!
Have to say that this was a marvellous show. As I think someone has said, but they are on fire at the minute. A much better performance than when I saw them last on the Festival tour a couple of summers ago. I've always wanted them to bring the keyboards back, but they didn't seem to miss them so much this time. I thought the atmosphere was pretty good where we were, just past the barrier at the front. The people wandering through the crowd selling drink probably helped improve the atmosphere, everyone was jumping about by the time of the encores. Robert seemed in great form.
Went to a Cure party in some club nearby afterwards. It was good fun & funny to see 100 people dancing to faith, followed by At night. The conga to Love will tear us apart didn't go down so well.
My girlfiend would not listen to my pleas to be allowed to goto Berlin (we go there on holiday next weekend). Oh well. Bring on Wembley! Maybe even another one inbetween.

that's actually quite right. i think the moment that we stop moaning about it is the moment we no longer care and after that, who cares? so as long as we are moaning, we're still alive... and still into it.
personally i'd hope they'd bury that freak-thing somewhere where the light does not ever shine (i've heard it too many times already thankyou very much bob thankyou kindly!). them again, it hasn't managed to ruin the shows for me - i just have to close my ears and pretend not to be there for about 4 minutes when it starts (although it's one damn big waste of good and active show time, yes it is...).
anyway, it's a really bit strange to me that robert seems to be so fascinated by those screaming teenagers since he wants to keep on pleasing them and keep on doing that silly pop encore stuff (and even extends it, like in berlin). maybe it's narcistic, he finds the screamers somehow flattering...? i don't get it. he could deliver a KILLER set to us if he only wanted to, yet he chooses to make a fool of himself every night :shock: hard to say what's behind it all...
anyway! let's take everything out of this embarrassing situation and let's have a cure karaoke in paris: everyone can sing 'freak show' and deliver his/her favorite rendition of this recent lovely master piece. then let's make a recording out of it and send it to ol' bob as a token of our... ehmm, true faith.
maybe he'd get it then... how about that?

a good question. i was just about to ask the same, actually!
at least i haven't come across anything lately - if he has even given any recent interviews at all?
all seems/seemed to have been pretty quiet on the info/interview front before the tour...
I don't think, that Freak Show is that bad. I liked it much more than Please Project. In every case A Boy I Never Knew is the best of the new songs. But generally I have nothing against a pop encore, but I would choose different songs for it. I would die to hear Lovecats (it was on the setlist for Hamburg) or The 13th or The Caterpillar.

hell yeah, bring on the caterpillar!! i'd have no objections to that...
but that's a great and inspirational piece of music, good ol' caterpillar. whereas 'freak show' is like ol' bob's unwashed underpants
= a piece of him i really wouldn't have needed to ever know/see/hear/experience. :eek:

I agree, :smth023 ( except about Freak Show) Lovecats, or The Caterpillar or even the 13th.. are great pop encores..
but A Boy I Never Knew is my fav. from the newbies.. I am still not that hot about Please Project yet.. :?
@JB.. i like where you're coming form with the 'Freak Show' lines.. but i really don't want to think of Bob's underwear thanks!! :shock:
Trouble is, this lineup is limiting. They could *never* do The 13th without keyboards.

(you know we were joking with a few friends in berlin how the next person who even mentions the words/name 'freak show' will get a punch in the face because everyone was repeating it all the time, how awful it was and annoyzing each other by singing a line or two from it hahaha)

true. but even without it (the 13th), they've still have a lot of other songs to choose from... if they only wanted to.
I like "Freak Show"! :smth023
More I listen to it and more I like it! Its rhythm got imediately into my mind...very cute, it makes me feel happy! :D
Normally they also can't do Lovecats or Plainsong or Close To Me without keyboards. But the do. So why not try The 13th? But of course I know that this will not happen
True. Maybe I'm just not creative enough to imagine it that way. Naturally, there are many other songs that could work well with this lineup that they just won't play. Though we're only five shows into the Europe leg. An awful lot could happen..... I just don't want those same three encores every show.

well, to each his/her own then, i guess.
imo 'freak show' is not even a cure song, it's just something totally alien and dreadful for them to do... when they start playing it, i get a feeling like "what is going on here, what band is this, i mean... WTF???"
i'd say let all those backstreetboyzz do that sort of brainless stuff - bob should have better ideas underneath his wig... :roll:
so i'm not against pop songs as such - but the cure could always write hell of a lot better pop songs than that!
this is some cheapo discount stuff.
No thanks! I think there are a few shows where we can be almost certain that something special will happen, and Paris is certainly one of them!
Unfortunatly, we'll likely be back to cookie-cutter pop sets by the time I see them in the US in May. :(

hahaha he must have been too afraid of being beaten up by the rest of you on some desolate stop somewhere well outside the city, so he decided to shut up singing his favorite song :lol:
Freak Show isn't that bad, maybe we have to get used to it :)
The Hamburg show was awesome!!! I've enjoyed the concert very much.
It was loud, so i'm glad i bought hearing protections.

no it's not bad - it's bloody awful. :-D
and yes, in life we tend to get used to things we don't like (because we often have no choice). yet getting used to something doesn't mean it became less bad... getting used to bad things is scary...
by the way i suggest the cure should play 'numb' next to 'freak show', those two would fit together nicely!
i meant they fit together because one has to be numb/anesthetized to get through that other song.
Numb is other than Freak Show, because it's a sad (?) song.
Maybe it fit together with let me say Never?
I have to hear Freak Show on CD, i think to form a opinion.
Yes, we get used to something we don't like by and by, but i think not always. Or am i wrong?

I was about to say something, but I see your joking ;)

of course they are different. you see i was just trying to find some irony in the
song names alone, nothing more. at least i have to make myself consciously numb, to get throught that freak song.
about getting used to things we don't like. i really can't see why we ever should do that - unless we actually start to like them by and by. but if we don't (start liking them), getting used to them means having to accept something by force. i don't see much good in that. anyway.

I meant that we don't get used to things we don't like. Sorry if it doesn't came out right. So for me i think i will e.g. never get used to the song Never :)
To like a song or not is in the end a matter of taste :)

good for him. and also for others around him. :-D
but now i'm all curious to wait and see what happens when he hears it for the third time...

Thanks for the link Paul. These are nice pictures :)
I've found today a review of the concert in Hamburg on a German weekly paper "Die Zeit" (it's in German, sorry)
So here is the link: http://www.zeit.de/online/2008/08/the-cure-konzert
i was in hamburg and it was the best show i've ever seen... !
i think we were one of the youngest there ( 16 and 17 ) and it was funny to see older cure fans with their 'robert hairstyle'
oh and this scene was great and funny

i took a video from that same incident from another angle, was going to put it up on streaming here at some point. and yes that was funny. :-D
I listened to "A boy I never knew" from this concert and it has a little different lyrics...
I will do the transcription later...
