Nice work you lot for staying up so late/ getting up so early on a school night & I hope nobody's late for work today. These threads/ listening parties would not be the same without you  praise2  
As for The Cure, flawless as always. Thanks for the ride & enjoy a well earned break. :D

ok so once again this is the end... a great pleasure to follow the last show of this tour here : a great experience. Many many thanks to for his amazing spidey vision, to for leading the party, to for another great introduction, and to The Cure : the greatest Band of the Universe. God Bless you all, and see you again... somewhere....

Wow. Another tour under the belt for our boys and community. Thank you to The Cure for always sharing the music. I can't wait to see what 2024 might bring us!

Thank you for being our tour guide, along with your friend, the bloke down at the pub. Thank you for taking us to Bogota with you. So glad we can fit into your back pocket (gee, it's pretty big!). And thank you to all the community members who come here at all hours of their day to partake in the listening, singing, and dancing. Love you! xo Good night, friends.

I'm going to dance myself to bed...

The lack of new songs during this leg of the tour is probably mainly because of the gigs being at festivals and not standalone Cure-Shows. I remember Robert saying (a couple of years ago) they adapt their sets on festivals to the fact that a significant part of the people who come to listen are not necessarily Cure-Fans and would have not bought a ticket for a standalone Cure-Concert.

By the way listening and watching to the excellent Sao Paulo Show right now again. Still no sign of a complete video-recording of the Paraguay-Show?

This is a wise and fair way to approach festivals. Enough said.

I think you're spot on there.
Some of these places they have never been to either.
A combination of festival sets & country debuts has almost certainly played a part in the set list choices.

All the t shirts & posters have been printed (not to mention the hashtag) so they have to call it Shows Of A Lost World. :D

December 3rd. Primavera Sound São Paulo BR

I like that flowery poster much more than the ones designed recently - they puzzle me & are quite a miss, IMO.

If you watch the stream of the concert you can see those guys being projected on the big audience screens during the concert. Don´t know if it was just to animate the crowd or if it was also sign language translating the lyrics (got the impression sometimes but did not really look closely because I was focussing on the band). This guy in the litte video though is just dancing and does not translate even when Robert starts singing.
by notkristie
The OP translation from Portuguese is, "I'm being seduced at The Cure concert."

So, I guess it's all about the art of seduction in a lace shirt?

I have seen a clear photo - they say:

"None of you seen to understand I'm not locked in here with you"

"You're locked in here with me!"

It's from the film 'Watchmen''.

Hope that's helped!

Another wonderful show from The Cure! I hope Santiago fans had a fantastic time (sure sounds like it :D). Thank you to The Cure, and , and our community here! A special hug to tonight/this morning. Below's a photo of Ripley as she slept through the show on her heated blanket next to me on the couch :)

Can't wait to do it all again soon! Good night, friends.

They appear to have kicked A Fragile Thing into touch...which isn't a bad thing

Morning all.
Good to see they didn't drop ANIF again. Interesting that It can Never Be The Same has taken a front seat over I Can Never Say Goodbye on this run of shows.
Good to read through all the craziness over a ristretto or two this morning.
Well played everyone who came along for the ride & to & for bringing it to life.
It's quite frustrating not be able to join in, but 1/ 2am in the morning isn't going to work for this old goth :(
Thanks again The Cure for another epic evening & safe travels to São Paulo :)
by fiveswinglive
Had a great time handing out with you lot!

Best place to be when not at any concert is here listening to the concerts with you all.

Can't wait to see them live again.

Thanks or the write up and for leading the event.

until next time 

see you soon.

Reeves' tech Al Robinson (AKA feralpunk on Instagram) puts quotes at the end of their setlists to amuse himself & Reeves. All from films or cartoons or books etc. The guitar names appear only on Al's working list.
The quote on the bottoom of this setlist is from the 1974 film Chinatown with Jack Nicholson in



Which is a great film, BTW

I follow a golden retriever group. A little Friday I'm in love was playing. Which was surprising. Lol. www.facebook.com/stories/101763722138543/UzpfSVNDOjM1OTE2NjM4NjY1NzYwNQ==/?view_single=1&source=shared_permalink&mibextid=XUfhQ2

This video showed up in my YouTube feed again today for the first time in years. It's a piece of choreography I understand was not completed because the choreographer, Nicholas Dixon, VANISHED! Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuh!

The dancers have real credibility w/ one of the best companies in the world, but sadly, they have nothing to work with here. The choreography is laughably terrible. It looks like a parody. Gets me every time because the potential to do something great with dance and TC is so ripe!

At the Vans store in Herald Square and Fire in Cairo is playing. So weird.
