Okay, was cleaning my master bedroom and got through the entire show at 2019-06-28 Werchter - Festival Park Werchter (Belgium). Good way to close Sunday evening.
Nothing remarkable, just a standard setlist that included "Burn". So happy to have that added to the regular lineup.

Yeah nice, Airplane Mode is the winner. I once had a Radiohead tape interrupted due to an incoming call from mumsy! i was very sad given how well the recorded bits came out. oh well, live and learn.
good to know about the frequencies, that recording sounded pretty nice so it must've been a boomy AF show.
cheers mate.
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!
For the first time in over 30 years, I played some vinyl on a turntable. An Ahiya $39 model:
I played the milky white single that Robert Smith recorded the B-side on, from The Twilight Sad:
I was curious how my oldest vinyl would sound. The oldest records I purchased as a child still played quite well, the soundtracks to Tron and Cosmos (the PBS series). I played them last night and remembered a time when this was the peak of audio quality. After being digital for most of my life, it was fun to remember how to get the needle playing without scratching the whole disc.
I have a friend who has all of his vinyls in his garage. Maybe he has some Cure in there for me.
I just received the only vinyl album I plan to buy this century, the debut of Thievery Corporation. Coffee house music is something I discovered in 2013, very rare for me to find a new favorite band in my old age:
Now that I have a record turntable, I hooked up a spare Logitech 2-speaker and floor base computer setup to the headphone jack. The sound is better than the speakers that came with the portable turntable. Checking "Record Store Day" entries for The Top comes up with three in my area:
P Tonik's Lab 170.1 mi. Melbourne, Florida VISIT WEBSITE P Causeway Records 170.2 mi. Melbourne, Florida VISIT WEBSITE P Savvy Vinyl Records 172.0 mi. Melbourne, Florida VISIT WEBSITE
I guess I'll have to call ahead and see who has The Cure on vinyl. I don't care what the album is, but I would like to have one of them on vinyl.
So the store I was going to was closed, but I went to another called Beachside Records for Record Store week 2024. The girl there said she didn't think she had any Cure records left, but we went over, and they had a nice stack of "The Top Picture Disc RSD" for $27.98!
I'm unwrapping it now. Mine says "Made in Germany". The picture disc is in a clear plastic sleeve, the artwork is superb.
It's difficult to believe, but this 1984 album was in no way inevitable. The band could have ended with Robert Smtih playing guitar on Haena for Siouxsie and the Banshees. There was no natural progression of future Cure albums here, it all could have come to a full stop. This album meant that The Cure would continue. The Caterpillar was the only single:
