our boys really put the casual concertgoers on a stress test... 2 hours until they get to the fun part ;-)

It’s true, there were some next to me that left the front area looking very disappointed 😂

Remember, we only get stronger from their suffering. It's like out life force.

It's just a Samsung Galaxy but it's just about waiting for everyone else to put their phones down and also zooming in just enough but not too much. Also, I'm taller than 95% of people in my way :-)

So until now,today,the boys have given us four new tracks (from the new long-awaited album?!)
Which one do you prefer the most?
Or shall i put it like this,which one you like the most?

Endsong, by far. It's probably the best song they have done in the new millennium for me.

For the other new ones: then ICNSG, then Alone, then ANIF.

Based of on the live versions my ranking of the new songs would be at the moment:

Alone

I can never say goodbye

Endsong

And Nothing is Forever

I like all of them, but I feel like Endsong (for me personally) has not yet earned its tremendous runtime. I hope it will change with the studio recording, that will be probably more nuanced and will reveal other facettes.

Further on I don´t think that any of the songs is really dark (like really dark) musically. They are sad and melancholic, but it reminds me a bit more of the Disintegration era than Pornography (and Pornography was the most referenced record by Robert in interviews regarding the new album). I love Disintegration, but I consider only "Prayers for Rain" a really dark song on the album, while the other songs are mostly also sad and melancholic.

Based on these 4 we know so far, the new album is musically closer to Disintegration and perhaps even closer to Bloodflowers than Pornography for sure.

And I would never expect them to do now something similar to Pornography, musically speaking. Pornography was a 3 piece act, from an era when The Cure had a very specific sound.

I guess what Robert meant in saying that the new songs are in a similar ballpark as Pornography is with regard to the lyrics; not stylistically, but in terms of where they go: he does talk about death, end of things, "no hope, no dreams", that kind of stuff. He does it now with the tone and words of a 63 yo man not a 23 yo lad, of course.

People at gigs seem to have got taller over the last 30 years. I'm not such a freak as I used to be

See you in Bologna on Monday.
It's a shame that they won't be playing in Rome...

Actually it is a shame they won't play in Athens...

Italy got three dates? or four? more than enough i'd say...

Such a pitty...

Each time they have visited GR the event has been sold out.

Who knows...

what a wonderful concert with some changes in the song order.
If they had played 'faith' in the first encore, maybe just a short version, it would have been the best concert in my more than 30 years of cure concerts.
For all those who still think jason doesn't play as well as boris... listen to this concerts....
I recorded the whole show and for a first listen it doesn't sound too bad.
But first i must cutting the recording and all the time today is only for my two little children.

Europe mate, can’t vouch for everywhere, but Germans and the Dutch tend to much taller!

Oh I'm so sorry that I missed the show yesterday ! I don't know why I thought it was tonight... I'm so bummed as I was looking forward to following it with you all.

I will read all the thread later and I will try to follow next show on my phone on monday.

Back home again. Need a little rest after the opening leg of this tour. After 6 shows my body tells me that i'm not 20 anymore...
Next stop for the dog is Frankfurt.
Sorry that i wasn't really able to post pics and do a podbean last night. I was a bit nervous coz of that soundcheck yesterday. It's been the best concert of the tour so far. What lucky dude i am...
It's been a pleasure meeting all the nice guys, such as millhaus, wilgy, pillowman and further more...

steve: thank you so much for your work. All the information about the cities. I really don't have an idea, how it's possible to do that huge amount of adminthings besides building a house. Do you ever need to sleep? I was a bit sad for you that they did DTU yesterday. It should have been a special present for you in Budapest.
