Live Report 2016-05-11 NOLA

Tried to go back to sleep, only to have the lady downstairs start to move furniture about & turn on the washing machine. 

another great show screw great surprise...thanks for the report!!!!

Very close indeed. Tonight we were in 89 with disintegration songs in the album order.

It reminded me Paris 89 second night when they started last dance and made me hope the faith encore we will have another time.

I can die peacefully

'This Twilight Garden' played live for the first time last night.
Enough said.

Listening to this right now.

'Disintegration' -the song- is one of my all time favourites, but, honestly, I think the should stop playing it. Everything in this glorious song is about Robert's crescendo and nuances, and, since many years ago, he's not capable of performing it the way it should be sung. It really sounds wrong to my ears when I hear him singing it nowadays. It sounds tired, and lack of the angryness it should have. And it's a pitty because it does not do justice to the song, so I can't see the point of keeping playing it. I guess this is not going to be a very popular statement but this is how I feel about it.

Songs should be played, no matter what? What do you think?

"Disintegration" is 1 of my favorite Cure songs, also. Having never seen the band, I would really like to hear it live when I see them next week. I get what you are saying but songs evolve over time. Personally, I'm a big Reeves Gabrels fan & I would like to see what he brings to it in person. I can honestly say that I will be a little disappointed if they don't play it but not too much. They have such a wealth of material to work with. I'm just happy to be able to finally see the band. Is a long story but there has been some sort of cosmic conspiracy that has kept me from seeing the band for the last 25+ years. The Cure are the 1 band that is still viable that I haven't seen & need to. Is a good thing its happening now. Due to some issues its becoming increasingly difficult for me to go to shows. Looks like i'm going out with a bang this summer if it comes to the point where I can't do it. Anyway, I hope they play "D" in Vegas but I respect your opinion.

Two magical nights to start this tour.. Just amazing!
