No, this was the only show I could go. But I am very grateful and happy I got the chance to see them for the first time this year

That's a great pity, but I'm sure you will see them more often. When I saw the band the very first time I was so damn nervous, can't tell you. And the concert (it was 1992) was brilliant and I won't forget it.

Just the fact that you still remember it after all these years tells a lot about how amazing it must have been...

I hope you will have a great time at Wembley !

It's taking a lot of time uploading the last 2... So while I finish uploading them, I give you the link to the playlist I've created with all the videos :

www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO4aGhm3qwBRBtB34kaLq5HbWBTW3LJoy

I haven't had the time to watch them all, so I hope they're good... I had a problem with my phone during Sinking, so I got two parts of the song, not the complete song.

Hi everyone, and first of all, thank you for your kind words. You're all beautiful people, so nice and fun, and this is what I was talking about to my mum as we were waiting for The Twilight Sad to start.

About the best concert of my life, I don't even know where to start, so I'll start with my complaints : Nada. Absolutely nothing. Zero complaint.

I could never describe how it felt to attend such a magical and wonderful show. I enjoyed every note, every song, every word Robert said. And I couldn't stop smiling from begining to end. It was a very special moment that I'll keep forever in my heart.

I was far from stage, but I had a nice view and the sound was very good.The band was incredible, the crowd was really into it. There was a lot of complicity between Robert/Simon, Reeves/Simon and Simon/Roger.

Robert was in excellent mood, playful and smiling through the show. And his voice was great ! At moments he did little things to save his voice, but at others he hit notes that I still wonder how he could hit. I couldn't hear any problem or struggle, and I'm so happy about it as it was what I wanted the most !

These are just some of my thoughts, as I've just come back home, but I wanted to share it with you guys. It was friday, I was in love. And I still am

Thanks for describing exactly how I feel since yesterday. Me too, it was my first Cure show. It is so hard to describe what you feel when you have musicians you have watched and listened to since years and years and suddenly, boum! here they are. I was 10 m from Robert Smith and I don't think I will forget this moment until the end. I feel like a groupie since yesterday and I like it.

WOW, first show and so close to Robert... This is a moment that will stay with you forever

justlikeheaven so happy you had a fantastic time and were able to share the experience with us (and your mom). The pics are great! Seeing the band up close and further back have different advantages...and I think your pics capture how nice it is to see the whole stage/band from your spot. Thanks so much for sharing

so nice to read you had a brilliant time and enjoyed every moment! and it is wonderful to have these memories in pictures and videos, something to go back to whenever you feel like it. i still have my old diaries from teen days, where i put down my thoughts after my first cure concert. writing down who was standing where on stage, what they were wearing, what i was wearing, what they played - pre internet and smartphone days haha. then later the first pictures after having sneaked in a camera. rs was only a blurry dot but i was so happy...

so enjoy the afterglow and treasure these memories, hoping you will have many more chances to see them!

justlikeheaven and jumeteor ... Congrats for you first one. So good you both had a blast. As some others have already pointed out, the first gig will be with you forever. It's just the best experience that can't compared with any later gig. My 1989 concert is still so vivid, I remember so many things, feelings and emotions from that unforgettable night after so many years. I'm sure you will be able to see them again.

Thank you @marblegirl and godwina

My mum loves The Cure. She only knows the singles so I was worried it might be a little challenging for her during some songs, but she seemed to have a great time at the show. I think she was like me, so happy to see them whatever they play. And I'm proud of her, she clapped until the end of A Forest and did the "Oooooooh ooooooooh" on Play For Today !

My dad is also a Curefan. It was him that got me into the Cure by playing Galore and Staring At The Sea, but it's me that made him discover all the discography this year. Whenever I go to his house, I bring my ipod, put it on shuffle and play him Cure songs. And he loves everything, but he could never go to a show. So if I have the chance to go to another show someday, I hope they both can go with me ^^

I think I remember you favorite The Twilight Sad song is Last January, so when they played it friday I tried to film it for you. I got the entire song, and the sound is good, but my phone didn't focus on them so the image is blurry all the time. Do you prefer that I upload the video, even if we can't see anything, or that I try to convert it in mp3 so you have the audio ?

Tonight is your turn, so I hope you'll have a great show with lots of Pornography songs.
