For the first time it happened to me to go to a Cure show without being completely aware of what they are playing in recent shows. Few years ago I would have been experiencing through stream or live updates every single song popping up in the tour. This tour I barely knew the lenght of the shows, the number of usual encores, the songs they were playing (except that they had 2 new songs which I have listened when they started to be played). And it was cool to be surprised with every song that came out. I also let myself to be surprised again with some live arrangements I was not so into lately and it felt great actually.
Ive managed to make it to the last dates of the tour without listening to any new boots or hearing either of the new songs, got a vague idea of the sets - just enough to be annoyed if they play hits sets now!
