I used to be a big Rush fan. I saw them several times in concert, and was very impressed with their ability to play their songs, but...I decided I will never pay so much money to see them play again. They play all of their songs EXACTLY like the studio version, never just jamming and improvising at all. Sorry, but I'm not going to pay all that money to go listen to what I can hear right here at my home.
Just my opinion, of course.
Ok but are there any The Cure songs that do not work live for you?
pip: Yes, unfortunately. Maybe they're just tired of it? But then they should just stop playing it for a while. Nowadays I just prefer the listening to the album version.
