Here's another -- the very first Cure show; he said he found the tape and was going to release it. Said it a year or so ago but also recently mentioned on Slicing Up Eyeballs.
Also he surely must have some Easy Cure stuff -- where's the rest of the Heroin Face show?
The promised CDs from their last great tour, the Dream Tour, would be lovely, very overdue. But I'm not holding my breath!
When did they ever promise those?
I remember Robert saying they were going to release soundboard recordings of every show. Pearl Jam had previously done that for their entire tour and was h huge success with their hardcore fanbass, which may have inspired Robert to do the same. Sadly, even though I hate Pearl Jam. They certainly know how to please their fans. Robert is such a tease.
I think the Cure redeemed themselves for live streaming the majority of this year's summer festivals. Which was incredibly cool of them. This is a much stronger lineup and they are playing far better than they were on the Dream Tour.
I hope they live stream future shows, hopefully with the tour for their upcoming album or albums. Robert said they could release three albums? I have a feeling he is having a laugh😡

Whether it's a stronger line up now is debatable. Both guitarists are amazing, Reeves is brilliant technically but, for me, Perry is the number 1 cure guitarist because his playing most suits the cure's music. Setlist wise, you can't compare it. The Dream Tour was their last tour as a totally creative band. Most of Bloodflowers was played each night and the rest of the set was aimed towards hardcore curefans with album cuts rather than singles. Nowadays the setlist is of a nostalgia band living off past glories.

The Dream-Tour was a tour to present a new album. This years festival tour and the last world tour (2016) did not promote a new album (and by the way, they played also rarities in 2016 and unreleased songs). Not really fair in my opinion your comparision. Let´t wait how the setlist looks when they promote the new Moon-Album....

I'm excited by the possibilities of a new setlist promoting the hopefully dark new album mixed in with some deep cuts from previous albums. My only concern is how long the new songs stay in the setlists. When The Cure/4:13 Dream albums were released, the songs from this albums did get played live but only for a short while till they were mostly dropped.
A new album is still just a "promise"... if he's not happy with it it won't get released, just like Reflections etc. It's not set in stone is what I'm saying. Is it?
