Live report October 23rd, Marx Halle, Vienna AT

It was great watching the show here with you again! What a luxury... live shows online... so glad this is possible :-)  Sleep well and cu!

Can't wait for the presents I will get then ;-)

I see fiveswinglive got a setlist

Wow this was an incredible and joyful show I can't believe it ! It's crazy how Robert's happiness is contagious and makes even better songs that was already awesome.

I'm so glad that I got to hear the entire show because it was one that I'll always keep in my heart, just for Robert's mood. You can tell that they do love very much playing these songs. You can hear it. What a wonderful time ! I could never thank them enough for making everything better. The Cure, how fitting this name is to them !

And thank you to all of you, wonderful people. I was thinking how even if I can only go to one show in real life, I get to go to so many more onlines, with you. I'm so grateful for you to make this possible. 

As always, I won't be able to be here tomorrow but I'll follow from time to time because I can't stay away.

Have a great night or day wherever you are !

Been a joy again to spend the evening/ afternoon/ morning with you wherever you are.
Thank you Pipperoo for helping this old bloke 
& snoopy for casting the audio superbly. Hope you get that battery charged soon 
& thank you all for joining in the party. We do hope that even if you're hundreds & thousands of kilometres away from the show, you could at least feel part of it. You have certainly put a smile on this old goth's face yet again 
& thank you The Cure. Without you I think we'd all be quite lost. With you, we're still lost. But lost in a forest. 
I must skidaddle. Got to be up early to study the history of Prague. & then move a bunch of rubble out of my new house.

Thanks so much for the stream. I was listening to it on a quite long bus trip and had no headphones, so people kept looking at me in funny ways, it has been quite surreal.

AMAZING!!

No not the custom mask that I had on or the set list that I acquired (ok - little ) but the show last night. I wanted so badly to stream it for all of you that couldn't be here. I believe gongoro73 and steve anti-Instagram kept blocking the signal feed. I must have been the only one that had a bad signal last night but just perusing through last night comments I see that you all had access to the show. What a relief! Here I thought you were all going to miss me going up onstage when REEVES- saw me playing the air guitar and when he finally made him smile when he saw SPIDEY! (That almost happened- except the security guard stopped me)

Robert seemed very grateful to be here> I particularly loved how he prepared himself for ALONE, AND NOTHING IS FOREVER, ENDSONG, and I CAN NEVER SAY GOODBYE. If you ever seen it, you know what I mean, HE takes a deep breath to compose and calm himself down for what's to come. I sense that those songs are emotional draining on him. During ANIF he sings a few lyrics under his breath away from the microphone "Promise you'll be with me in the end" repeatedly as he steps away from the microphone- so gut wrenching and dusty! (Someone had opened a door and let some dust in)

Kyoto background of a Japanese woman was simply breathtaking! Love how Robert took the microphone and came over to the sing to our side of the stage. I follow as he belted the words out..So intense to powerful with an emphasis on his "EVERY VOICE BELONGS TO YOU."

Robert also is very particular about making mistakes and when he does make one on his guitar, he lets you know. Last night he made a mistake during A NIGHT LIKE THIS, and he let the crowd know but in a Suttle way. HE tapped his temple and said to the crowd " I DID, I THINK.....NO I DID" as he played a few cords confirming his mistake.

His voice was on point though! He gave it all he got and then some. Not once did I sense or see him hold back. He seemed very emotional too during COLD. Strong and forceful it felt shivers through my spine during the song! GOSH it brought me to my knees.

Reeves the man behind the guitar killed it last night! A NIGHT LIKE THIS pedal mastery was out of this world. He also brings it on FASCINATION STREET and EDGE OF THE GREEN SEA > that man is legend. If he had 11 fingers or if he could use his toes he would. His best work and lack of appendages showed during I CAN NEVER SAY GOODBYE. He literally had to use his teeth for that extra CRYING sound.

BOB, (ROBERT's alternate ego) had several comedic lines- One, He mentioned that he had just written A STRANGE DAY. Two, made a comment on a new song "THURSDAY I'M IN LOVE" and also trying to make the song SAD. Third, before the pop encore he mentions that he would scare himself and if he had 2 minutes, he could explain why Lullaby and the other pop songs scared him.

The Crowd loved PUSH, PLAY FOR TODAY, SDS and the iconic A FOREST as they clapped the roof of the house.

On the bad side- there almost always seems to be a bad to everything. Not that I look for it but somehow it finds me. Hooligans tried several times to push themselves forward and get to the rail. I read that some are hard core fans, and they don't care who is there. The good thing is that the Mrs..is an expert and fighting and doesn't let herself get pushed around. ninja would have been so proud..I know I'm.
 One of the best CONCERTS that I had so far. Tomorrow- I finally meet out captain of this fine vessel called TCC. I hope he has his BAT MOBILE ready.
 By the way, I recorded the whole concert on my phone and will upload it once I get back to the states if anyone would like to have it.
 Thanks TO ALL OF YOU this would not have been as much fun as I expect it to be. steve nice intro as always you are a scholar. snoopy didn't get to meet you but thanks for the podbean broadcast

Onward and forward to the next venture...

*Keep and eye out for Spidey!!
