So I got an email from amazolian last week to tell me it had shipped & would arrive on 24th (today). So I am all excited to get the thing in the player & be swept away by it at high volume. Today I get a letter from UPS to tell me there was a problem with the delivery & to call them within 7 days or they would return it to the distributor. I checked the amazolian tracking & it transpires they tried to deliver on Friday & "couldn't find the address". FFS, amazolian has my phone number on record. They could have just called. Just called UPS to ask that they bring it back. They asked where & I told them (and here is the irony) to the same address the letter was sent & successfully delivered. Hell, they even spelt Balatonfured wrong on the letter & it still got to me. Now I have to wait until tomorrow
So ,Friday got released,Friday got received?
;-)
And now just ENJOY!

I’m really hesitating with this. I feel I should buy it since i was at Hyde Park so it’s a wonderful souvenir. On the other hand, I almost never play post 2000 gigs (in fact, post 1992) so I feel is going to be on the shelf untouched forever.

That's the same way I feel about it. I was at hydepark, enjoyed the gig even though the setlist was very predictable and almost half the albums ignored (Faith/Porn/Bloodflowers/WMS/4:13) for a 40 year celebration of their music, but can't see myself wanting to play the DVD. Feels like do I really need to have yet another live version of a forest/lovesong/jlh...etc.
Meltdown is a better setlist, the 2 from each album rule forced Robert to be more adventurous with the song choices.
I've collected a lot of shows upto 2000, which was the last time they did a proper album tour playing the Bloodflowers album. Since then, it's been Robert pleasing an audience with the same old songs. Even the tracks from a new album like The Cure and 4:13 Dream get quickly dropped from setlists so I've not had interest in any of the shows post 2000.
A new album and proper album tour playing all the new songs would rekindle my joy in hearing live cure shows.

The title "from there to here/from here to there" with 2 songs from each album forced Robert to be more adventurous with the setlist.
Rather than the usual setlist...plainsong/pictures of you/high/night like this...etc

Robert wanted to do that. It's in the liner notes. He wanted to a "trip through time" show & that's exactly what he did. Nobody forced him. Nobody really forces him to do anything.

A week ago, I tried to get a digital copy from Itunes, in hope to listen to it on release day, as I knew that my physical copy (that I orderded in august) from Amazon wouldn't arrive until november 8th.
But Itunes let me down, and half the songs from both albums that I bought wouldn't play. Then today, to my surprise, I received this lovely thing.
I'm SO happy that I got it early (from what I was expecting) and I can't wait to listen and watch all of this ! And like many, I didn't think it would be this big !

It's probably a language barrier. No of course nobody forced him to do the show. Calling it "from there to here/from here to there" with two songs from each album meant albums such as 4:13/the cure/wms/bloodflowers couldn't be ignored. It forced Robert to be more adventurous with the setlist playing songs that they don't regularly perform.
It made for a more exciting, interesting setlist with tracks like alt end/last day of summer/Jupiter crash/it's over/like cockatoos/us or them
