Setlist opinons

I loved the gig, great fun to see them again. Had it been any other intro, fans of plainsong would have sigh On the contrary playing 'similar' set (with all the '''''''''''' necessary here ) prevented people 'moaning' not hearing songs being played at other shows and not theirs. No jealousy . Only if they went to several gigs may have they regret not hearing different songs, maybe (maybe not, by the way). My only regret was that they dropped off wendy time, that was quite unusual and a nice little surprise.

I agree. I went to Malahide and Paris, both very cool, but knowing 99% of the setlist (the order doesn’t change anything) at each show is boring, sorry...

If you find it boring imagine how the band feel having to play the same songs every night!!

The setlists should greatly improve next year with a brand new album to play.
Or maybe even 3 new albums, that could fill up a complete new songs setlist!

Hve you been sometime in a band??? in a large tour??? or  what is your criteria to asume they were boring playing the same the last summer... you can see them playing in every single show streamed... yes  were the same song... not the same performance...

This year's shows have probably been the most repetitive since the 80s with the smallest pool of songs to draw from for a long time. Especially, if you exclude the Disintegration shows and Mexico City. They were also a bit shorter than previous festival shows. Look at the 2012 Summer Cure shows for example. So there is that.

However, what matters to me most is that they were all great shows. I saw them in Dublin and Oslo this year and in Hyde Park last year and I loved all three shows. They sound and look better than they have in years and they are clearly enjoying themselves. They are playing exactly what they want to play which is just how it should be.

Sadly, The Cure have fallen victim to the extremely high standards they set themselves. There is a feeling now among many of us that unless we get 3 hours of doom and gloom, it was a boring pop show.

I'm just happy that they're still around and are delivering great shows.
