concerty goodness
Saw The Cure last night in tampa with brett. Despite what shawn says, they put on a fucking killer show. i had won the tickets on O-rock (r.i.p) and it turns out they were on the 2nd level or "club level". the seats were WAAAAY nicer, the view was fantastic, and the sound was amazing! the only notable exception was a couple times of Robert Smith's high end being a bit shrill. while i had fun, i find myself feeling a bit guilty. i didn't reconise a tenth of the songs they played. and they played for 3 HOURS! so in the end, i found my self a bit left out. Like i would have placed the concert on nearly the same level as metallica '97 or NIN '00 had i been a true cure fan. that being said, i think its time to fire up iTunes.
Setlist:
underneath the stars
prayers for rain
fascination street
the walk
the end of the world
lovesong
to wish impossible things
pictures of you
lullaby
catch
the perfect boy
from the edge of the deep green sea
the kyoto song
hot hot hot
the blood
sleep when i'm dead
push
inbetween days
just like heaven
primary
shake dog shake
the only one
wrong number
one hundred years
baby rag dog book
Encore:
the lovecats
let's go to bed
freakshow
close to me
why can't i be you?
Encore 2:
boys don't cry
jumping someone else's train
grinding halt
10:15 saturday night
killing an arab
Encore 3:
a forest

they kept things nice and dark. you'll notice that there is no mention of "friday, i'm in love". finally, i'm really glad i got to go with brett, as he made the trip down there and back most enjoyable. talks of roleplaying, friends and other non-sequitor things abound!
