I have been super busy to even read anything here. I still need to watch the video on YT before they put it down.
Thank you kirstie and Danielle even thought we didn't stand in the same line and eventually ended up on the opposite site of the venue And nice to met you fiveswinglive I got to know some great folks from California, I had a great and funny time but it was sooo cold. The organization after the doors opened was not good, people pushing, plus ones stuck in the foyer, etc. But for me it was quite quick, they didn't check IDs, they didn't check my bag. The show was amazing, security did care about people, but since they were constantly providing water it was quite disturbing. And I don't know why one security lady had to stand on the rail to observe people behind me during Secrets and she totally blocked me. I could not see anything, not even move my hands her belly was right in front of my face... So many songs but she chose Secrets.. And was kind of disappointed by merch. I thought they would have those nice Troxy big ben designs. I wanted the poster but a guy in front of me took the last one
Anyway 3 hours seemed to be much shorter than usual I love the new album and my top 3 is Endsong, ICNSG and All I Ever Am

Oh no!!!!! I'm so sorry to hear that! You should have tickled her belly so she would move.
This time last week, I had just arrived into Liverpool St Station and was slowly making my way over to the hotel.. The whole campaign with the new album had created such a sense of anticipation with the release and the Troxy concert on the 1st November which was just a glorious night.
I’m grateful it all happened last week, before we seen a part of the world further spinning away and the mental fatigue that we have to experience all over again.
In 1989, The Cure released their masterpiece, the world seemed to be moving to a brighter future, 35 years later we get SOALW at a time when the world seems darker, I just know looking at the love on the stage between the band and the love from the crowd last Friday, that community and family will always be a place where hope is kept alive for better days.
I will always be grateful that I was part of such a beautiful experience in The Troxy.
i think that 'Secrets' was the highlight (among the highlights)of the night.
Roger's reaction to playing the wrong note was a highlight for me.
When I saw them do Reflections in Sydney and All Cats Are Grey came to it's keyboard conclusion, Lol played that very last note so wrong & everyone in the band turned and looked at him. Stuff happens I guess.
I subjected my husband and son to a viewing of some of the live feed during dinner and had a thought: I wonder how the boys keep the three red solo cups straight in terms of ownership.
salleygarden, you seem to know a lot about how the band operates live. Maybe they're good at putting their cups in the exact order each time? Use sharpies?
No clue about any cup rituals. The red cups at center may all be Robert's (?) as he's the only one singing. While I think I've seen water for Reeves and Simon on the risers but on the far side of their respective amps?

Thanks. And upon another look I saw >3 cups. I’m glad to know someone is hydrating. 😊

I just finished watching the livestream and I'm beyond proud of them. To play at this nivel, after all this time... How can they be so great at what they does ?
And seeing the pleasure they take and all the interactions between them is so heartwarming !
This show is a beautiful representation of them because it has everything : New Cure, old Cure, deep songs, dark songs, angry songs, joyful songs, pop songs, singles, deep cuts...
They're just the best band and they're proving it time and time again.
Do you know the picture I took during this song in my show in 2022 is still my phone and laptop background ? To me, there is no feeling like hearing this song. And Robert sounds so so good !

Just saw this photo on Instagram: Reeves throwing 6 guitar picks -- and showing water & a cup in front of his guitar-amp cabinet. 🎸😎

So many songs but she chose Secrets..
