Thanks for the company, the greatest ever. Tomorrow maybe will be a better day for everyone. I'm so tired and gutted that it's so late. I had to go back to work and normal daily routine even though I feel still ill, sinusitis doesn't look like going away. What also hurts me is the fact that I can't live in Robert's hours anymore. It's a real disaster. But well, there is nothing I can do...
So, till tomorrow! The Cologne Cathedral might bring a song to Robert's mind and it will also look great on the cover of the gig recording
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.
My 2004 and 2008 experiences were not great either. 2004 bad venue, make up show after postponement/cancelation of Curiosa (Everett Washington), terrible sound. If the band played well it was hard to tell. 2008 festival also not great, as THEY didn't seem to enjoy playing. I thought then it was the end of an era.... but times changed thankfully every show since then has been sublime.
My 2008 show was strange, to say the least. I think they could have done a very different set with better result, discarding “synth/keyboard songs”. There are lots to choose from. But listening to Plainsong just to name one without keyboards sounded like some guys doing a bad Cure cover. The second old school encore was very good, anyway.
Agree, without the keyboard, it felt like they were trying to make up for the lack and had too much to do on stage. My show was also at a festival that year (was not in a position to see multiple shows then)... so all around just was off.

Take care of that sinusitis, Eva. Wishing you a light, soft, gentle, mild, sweet, silky, tempered “first” day of work.
Me too. I confirm. Joyful but with A Strange Day what was a great treat as for a festival
And the festival as a whole was fantastic speaking about the atmosphere. One of the greatest place I've ever seen.
Yeah even Robert was in a good mood, dancing and even dared to go to a catwalk lol Nice festival overal, hope they skip their more poppy recent direction and will be back with more alternative approach...
More alternative approach you say...
Robert on the catwalk pointing to the crowd with his mic every night!!

Anyone knows why Porl didn’t play keyboards on certain songs on that tour? Was it some kind of challenge?
I saw them on Colours of Ostrava festival in 2019 and it was great show 👍
Riot fest Colorado in 2014 was also excellent.. real lightening far off in the distance just as Plainsong started... and got to hear Cut Here. (in general festivals are not my favorite though)

I hope you feel better! Sharing this video, it is a bit weird but really helps me with sinus issues!

Thank you, Rafa. Tomorrow I'll be trying to hide behind my screen for all day long so maybe they won't notice me

No. Not the song (unfortunately). The show. And the silence didn't stop us. It never does Because you are all frikkin' awesome Thanks for joining in today. Hope you'll all be back for Cologne tomorrow. & hope all our poorly folks feel a whole load better very soon. Thanks again to The Cure for another wonderful show & safe travels to the next one
Even when I'm not around it's great catching up on the tour thread each day

Thank you. I'm becoming so desperate that I'm able to try almost everything. For sure such exercises.
