So far, the nicest venue of the north-american tour. Awesome place.

It's the same place of the amazing U2's concert "Under A Blood Red Sky"... :roll:

[crowbi_wan]

Red Rocks is one place I've always wanted to see a concert.  Being that I'm off work the day of The Cure's concert I've decided to make the trip and see a 6th concert this fall.  This one is going to be pretty sweet

C'mon Brian!  Only 2 more shows to catch up to me!

yes it is

I've been following some of the threads for the European shows and the setlists seem very long...

I've never seen them before and would love for them to play a 3 hr plus set.  Asinine local noise restrictions (especially at outdoor venues, like Red Rocks) cause a lot of bands to go offstage after 11 in the U.S. 

Are the boys gonna be cutting the setlists short in the US portion of the tour?

[crowbi_wan]

It's hard to tell what will happen in the U.S.  I'm trying to remain optimistic about things and would like to believe that we'll get three hour shows every night.  Just not sure that will be possible with noise restrictions and curfews, though.  However, The Cure have never been ones to shy away from breaking these rules and paying a fine.  Something to note is the Download Festival from last October where they were given 2 1/2 hours I believe.  Well, they went over that, playing the same basic set they've been doing in Europe.  The main difference was 2 encores instead of three.

Wooow, just saw the pictures of the venue, AWESOME. Is there anything really around who would bother if they played even over midnight? By the look of it, looks like its in the middle of desert!

Desert?     Nope, it's in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.  But yes, it's definitely a remote location.  Not sure why there would be a curfew there 

[rodney]

I don't see the sets going much over 3 hours in the States, but I do think we'll get our three hour sets.  At least for the shows I'm attending I'm invisioning things this way.

7-7:30pm 65dos
7:30-8pm-intermission
8-11pm-The Cure

[rattoon]

It's actually right in the foothills of the rockies, kind of near Golden and the suburbs of western Denver.  They usually end concerts there around 11 (A Perfect Circle had to end exactly at eleven ala curfew), but I've seen some DJs spin until 1 am as well.  Not really sure what the exact rules are.  Just hoping that The Cure come on around 830 to ensure a meaty set.
