Wow.........The Cure were just......
It was the best concert I'll ever see, thats for sure. The whole concert, in fact, was great. Here are are some of the bands they had there
Mogwai: They pretty much played the same thing over and over, but gained intensity. Then when it got crazy they just bust out some Sonic Youth-like sound sessions. Really nifty
Head Automatica: Pretty fun to watch live, but their songs all kinda blurred together, which wasn't too nice.
The Rapture: Didn't like them as much, but I could see how some people could like them
Interpol: They were just amazing. Really great band, and they played well. They didn't add a lot of "live-ness" that some bands do to songs, which made me not like them as much.
Cursive: Didn't like this band at all
The Cure; Wow, they were crazy. They opened with Plainsong, and they just did all these great songs. Robert Smith played a lot of songs that were amazing. Here are the standout songs:
Pornography:
One Hundred Years
A Short Term Effect
The Figurehead
Disintegration:
Plainsong
Fascination Street
Pictures of You
Love Song
Japanese Whispers
Lets Go To Bed
Lovecats (yes, they played Lovecats!)
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Why Can't I Be You?
A song I forgot :( Its definitely from KMKMKM though
Head on the Door:
A Night Like This (live, they don't play it with that saxophone solo like the recording. This makes it a bajillion times better)
Close to Me
The Cure;
Alt.end
The End of the World
They played more from their new album, but since I haven't listened to it enough to know what they played, I can't tell you. But yeah, A Night Like This is amazing, if anyone has MSN messenger, I could send you a live version that they recorded earlier.
