What did you think of the Rio show?

they hadn't played there in 17 years, for many people it was the first time they saw the band live, so it's good to have all those hits in the set. we can't judge it by comparing to european or US shows. Even if some people follow the tour, it's more diffucult to follow than in Europe due to the large distances, wouldn't make much sense to vary the sets Swing-Tour-Style ;)I don't think the main set will change during the LatAM tour, maybe only alternating the Wish & Disintegration openings and endings. encores are the place for surprises

Only a word: AWESOME.
I'm very happy for LatAm! Only a little bit jealous about Charlotte Sometimes, and Fascination Street too
And THAT Disintegration encore OMG. And the end...

If only I'd been there... :')

I think the set was well thought out.
17 years & you're going to have a lot of The Cure "virgins" & the LatAm public are very much party time people. They know how to go crazy & a good helping of upbeat poppy songs is going to hit the spot every time.
The inclusion of Fascination Street & Prayers For Rain was very cool too.
But concerts are a multi faceted thing.
It might be a very similar set to Summercure, but it's the way it's delivered & the way the audience responds that make concerts stand out I think.
I'm looking forward to hearing some of the show from last night very much.
*goes to refresh dime again*

I have mixed feelings about last night's show but only because of the "leaked setlist" that was posted. There were some real sparklers there and if they had played them all?....what a show that would have been! But it does give me hope that we will hear some of those other songs at the remaining shows on this tour. All in all I would say it was a nice setlist to start the tour off!

I am sure the people who went to the show were very happy indeed after such a long time away from the band.

Steve has broken Dime, too many refreshes!

From what I've seen from the videos it seems to have been a far more polished performance, I wonder if that is Tim Pope's influence or just Reeves feeling more comfortable in the band? Either way, by the end of the tour - or somewhere in the middle, I reckon the Cure will once again be rated the best live band on the planet.

No torrent on Dime yet but, Lyon 1992 DVD has resurfaced .........
