We do rip the sh!t out of these concerts when they are over don't we? I hope they know it's only because we love them so much. haha

With a catalog as big as theirs to choose from they'll never satisfy us all, can't say they don't give everything though with 3+ hour sets being the "norm"!
There's always that one song you want to hear.

I would love to hear The Figurehead live...

For it's better to forget...

Lots of crossover with the Meltdown set:

Pictures Of You
A Night Like This
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
A Forest
Shake Dog Shake
From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea
Disintegration
Boys Don't Cry

Surprised there's so much, especially as things like Wrong Number (Hello?), LGTB and Lovecats didn't get a look in.

Hi there gigbuddy75

Hope you had a good trip home.

No, we're talking about Burn here. Eternal contention

Thanks lioness - that will teach me for posting when I've only just opened my eyes! I read your Disintegration post just before/after and confused myself. I second your thoughts about Burn on Saturday - I wasn't so keen before I heard it live.

Lovely to meet you on Saturday - hope you got home safe and enjoy your week off.

Thank you lovely lady

I got home at 2am last night after 10 hours long travel. My flight was delayed by two hours. Very tiring and I'm still half-consious, I really need my week off to recover and I'm very glad I have it.

Don't you worry, it's easy to be confused here. I think the Burn thread was started without posting the name of the song. For many it was so obvious as we discussed a lot about it in 2016. You will catch up with everything

But I don't see
And I don't feel
But tightly hold up silently
My hands before my fading eyes
And in my eyes
Your smile

I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.

The most frustrating thing on the day was the lack of phone signal making it hard to find people so it was a case of getting lucky and bumping into smiley people

The atmosphere everywhere was great - so much better than previous Hyde Park things.

Spot on, and a very sincere thanks for making it possible, Forum Bosses. If it wasn't for TCC, I wouldn't have got hold of a ticket in the first place, and even if I had, I wouldn't have enjoyed the day the way I did, had ninja, lioness and sang not taken me under their wing.

I'm looking forward to next year's tour (thinking positively here!) even more than I would otherwise be - because it'll be great to see TCC folks again and meet others I didn't get a chance to.

I would love to meet people on the next tour too 😊

I was disappointed by the merchandise - now wishing I had bothered to stand in the long queue for a tote bag. Wondering if they sold everything.

I had an amazing time!
I think the set was as it could be, considerating it was supposed to be a jubilee, which usually has to be jolly.

BUT something from Pornography would have been nice though, and if they really put an effort init, they COULD have done some of thoose songs a little hmmm jully hahaha a jolly version of a hundred years - but then again, there isn’t a really jolly way saying it doesn’t matter if we all die - AND still again... I took a picture of Robert Smith, and posted it on my fb with the text: if I die right now, it doesn’t really matter - and I really ment it in a mellow and positive way hahahaha

I am so surprised and happy about all the new friends I met! I feel so lucky!

I didn’t feel lucky sunday on my way home though...

Flight was 4 hours delayed, and when we finally boarded the thing, we flew to Copenhagen instead of Aalborg!
We then had to go to Aalborg by bus, so I was home 12 hours later than planned!!!

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m jinxing everything.
My summer holiday began last friday a week ago with a house close to where I was at that point burned...
Then the train situation from Gatwick-London last thursday, and then the 12 delay...

Can we all agree, that I’m running out of bad luck by now, and nothing left but (faith) good luck? Please!!!

Thank you for a wonderful show everybody!

That smile of yours is very just

from afar: sure is a lot of whining from people who were lucky enough to go. it was pretty obvious from the start that this show was going to be a celebration of the band. with the festival setting, restricted set length & hordes of support bands this was always going to be an Isle of Wight type show. i thought the set had a decent amount of variety & the pacing was good. & the band sounded like they were into it & played excellent. between the 2 shows, there were a lot of songs played. only a third was repeated between the meltdown show & this one. how many other bands that have been around that long would care enough to rehearse that many songs? not many & some of them shall not be named (hippies!). the tape sounds great. while i generally prefer the meltdown set, i do enjoy the poppier hits too. to name one, just like heaven is a fantastic song. still puts most of what is currently considered pop to shame. as long as robert is happy, we should be too. it bodes well for more activity in the near future.

I don’t see it as ‘whining’ - it’s just expressing opinions. If everyone on here bowed continually to their genius, it’d be pretty dull reading.

Although yes, it was a festival, it was also flagged as 40th anniversary, and I think that’s why I expected it to be more representative of TC’s body of work, rather than a singles-fest. And I don’t think anyone has said they didn’t enjoy the show - just that their preference would be different in places (similarly to Meltdown in terms of ‘special guests’, Faith etc).

Just opinions.

Oh, and Just Like Heaven's one of my favourite songs in the world, for what it's worth.
