Here is a little exercise for all of you... Let's say Robert rung you up and asked you to pick 10 The Cure songs you have never heard live (whether in person or recorded live) that you would like to hear live what would they be? And what improvements/changes if any would you make?

Here are mine in no particular order...

1. Halo - don't touch a thing
2. This Twilight Garden - don't touch a thing
3. The Upstairs Room (I would change the keyboard part a little to update it... It sounds too 80s) but great song!
4. Speak My Language (don't laugh!! the bass part is great, the piano part would be greatly improved upon by Roger ) and Reeves could do some crazy shiza on the guitar parts.
5. Throw Your Foot (can you picture the wah wah guitar part on this? update the keyboards)
6. It Used to Be Me
7. Icing Sugar (ditch the saxophone replace with Reeves guitar, change the keys from synth to piano)
8. Fear of Ghosts
9. Play (love the guitar and keyboards in this so much)
10. More Than this

Mmmmm I think

1. The Exploding Boy
2. Burn (AGGHHH I wanted it at TCT!!)
3. This Twilight Garden (don't change absolutely anything!)
4. Halo (as This Twilight Garden)
5. Just One Kiss
6. Anniversary
7. The Birdmad Girl
8. Bare
9. A Chain Of Flowers
10. A Letter To Elise

I'd probably change a couple of them depending on my mood, but This Twilight Garden and Halo are my two absolute favourites!

PS.: we all know it, if Robert rung me up I wouldn't say any of these, I'd just whimper and collapse hopelessly onto the floor sHa_lolbig2

There's nothing left, but faith

You did not misunderstand. It IS songs never played live. but it's ok. If it is something you would like to hear live in person even if it has been played live before, that is ok too. No nazis here. haha But yes the question is never played live.

This is what I wrote.

"The Cure songs you have never heard live (whether in person or recorded live)
"

aka The Cure songs never played live. Which is what I should have just typed. haha

Not sure about improvements, but not heard live by me and would to hear:

1 Icing Sugar (not keen on sax, but sort of goes with the song and to me a guitar wouldn't work)
2 Babble
3 Labyrinth
4 A Few Hours After This
5 Halo
6 A Man Inside My Mouth (complete with the froggy/toad sounding intro)
7 Hey You!
8 In Your House (played like the original - Reeves can take a tea-break)
9 The Exploding Boy
10 Home

Then we could get battered & write an entire setlist together
