Years agooo i had an incredible boot from around the 'swing era. I remember i had it named under Berlin. Not sure if thats correct, but here's the tick. The drums on this boot were amazing. Its obviously not Coop. I have yet to ever hear a boot of coop sounding this precise and quick. It was great. Does anyone know if Boris might have played a show during this time? Perhaps just one night?? If anyone has any clue to what im babbling about feel free to enlighten me or make me feel foolish. Thanks Guys/Gals. :smth100

not sure which recording you are remembering here, it's been a long time since i listened to any WMS live recordings.
but no, i don't think boris was on stage on swing tour. i think it would have been noticed/known if he (or anyone else other than mr cooper) would have played a note.
a tempting idea, that he would have been though... as WMS was actually a very good tour, especially robert was in very good form vocally.
Two shows come to mind where Jason had a much "bigger" drum sound than normal:
http://www.cure-concerts.de/concerts/1995-06-25.php (http://www.cure-concerts.de/concerts/1995-06-25.php)
http://www.cure-concerts.de/concerts/1998-07-19.php (http://www.cure-concerts.de/concerts/1998-07-19.php)
And it did help him sound like less of a "wimpy" drummer. Both are commonly available in FM/soundboard versions. I can't recall any actual 1996 shows like that.
But no, no one but Jason has played any actual Cure shows since Boris left the band in 1993. :smth011
Or were you perhaps thinking of Boris' last show?

You've got me curious now!

could be totally irrelevant, but now i wonder if that has something to do with both being festival settings(?). he always tends to have that "wimpier" sound in their own shows.

That one from 95' looks like that could be it! I'll go on my journey for that one. Thanks everyone for all your input. I love you guys!

That's just sad, I really can't count that. :oops:
That and the acoustic Greatest Hits seemed so degrading for Boris. I wonder what was going through his head, with Jason doing his typical mediocre drumming and Boris just shaking a maraca or something. :smth011

Sure, it's sad. However, it was his last show with the band. ;) Hopefully it won't
be his last, though. Come on Robert, it's time for someone to get his walking papers!
