I was in the second row last night. I’m sorry I didn’t live report but I just wanted to be fully present for this show as I’ll probably never be that close to the band again. It was truly magical. I laughed, cried, danced and cried some more! The news songs are amazing. Even better than when I heard them last year. And Nothing Is Forever is fast becoming one of my favourite songs. The crowd were a bit mixed. Some hardcore fans up the front but also a lot of people there for the hits. Was really annoyed at the number of people walking off or scrolling their phones for the new songs. How can you do that with Robert pouring his heart out in front of you? Also, no one seems to know the ‘reactions’ to certain songs like Play for Today! I love Canada but I definitely missed the European fans! Anyway, got to hear six different ways which made my night! Overall a night I’ll never forget.

So glad you had a good time having come so far for it. I cannot even imagine having seats like that.

Please don't ever apologize for *not* live streaming. I'd never be able to do that. Like you, I want to be fully present. I'm of the school of thought that if you're experiencing something through a camera it really changes your consciousness. I know not everybody feels that way...

Thank you for your kind words. And I couldn’t agree more. Although it’s a difficult one as we all appreciate when people post videos of shows we can’t attend. But when everyone around you is holding their phone in the air rather than experiencing the music, you can’t help thinking that something has gone very wrong. The number of people around me live-streaming and posting videos for various social medias was really alarming and it seems to affect peoples ability to connect with the band and with the people around them. It gets worse with every show I go to.

Something is seriously wrong and sadly it will never be right again. I also fear the music industry Will be just that an industry and although artists of course, like making money, the original artist of our time wrote music that they were passionate about writing and that I feel is disappearing very quickly. I'm glad you had a good time at the show.

I hope things change but I also fear this is permanent. I really did have a good time though. It was honestly a night I’ll never forget! I saw Robert’s face up close and saw that the emotion he sings with is very real. Made me love him even more!

I was in the fourth row directly in front of Reeves. My awesome wife was waving St Andrew's Cross flag during TTS (Her parents are from Castlemilk). They are awesome and should not be missed. Get to the show early.

As for The Cure... I have literally been to hundreds of shows and this was by far the best I have witnessed. In all fairness, the best Cure seats I have had for the Cure. I could not stop smiling, even when I cried. The way RS creates a mood and makes sadness beautiful relates to the insecurity and human conditions we all experience is truly perfect. How fortunate I feel to have found this band as a teen only to adopt their music as the soundtrack to existence for a lifetime.

Sharing stories with other fans was amazing. I hope anyone going to these shows has the same elation and memorable time as I had.

I saw you guys!! I noticed the flag! I was looking around to see who else was dancing (as there weren’t too many!). I was on the left side in front of Perry. TTS were on top form. Best I’ve ever seen them. Been telling my husband to listen to them for years and he was hooked after that performance. Without a doubt that was the best show I’ve ever seen. I hope that I get the chance to see them at least once more in my life. But if not, I can hold that one in my memory forever 💜

Ouh i miss...

where is lioness ?!

I'm having a tough week, too much work and you know... I'm too old for not sleeping at all and blah blah blah. I will be here with you for two Montreal shows and hopefully all three New York gigs, also for Philly.

I'm glad that you all, those at the venue and those on-line, enjoyed the show. Also very happy for Fascination Street taken off from the shelf at last. Never too little of Disintegration songs!

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.
