and yes the collectors box is totally 90's and totally awesome

it's true

i've still got that HIGH box somewhere. my friend and me almost drove all the way to liverpool to watch the premiere of the HIGH video too, in HMV, as there wasn't one near where we lived. man i wouldn't even click a YOU TUBE link for the new video these days.

About time with a new album, but I am kind of just as interested in the last bunch of the remasters. "Disintegration" is in a lot of discount campaigns here, so I guess it's just a matter of time now.

the single mixes will be different from the album versions.

more likely that they're just 3-4 minute 7" versions of 7-8 minute album cuts than that they're especially different mix-wise tho? especially if they're still doing the "label mix"/"Robert mix" dual-formatting of the album.

Yeah, that 'High' video viewing.. Went to that. Got the box (with the balloon). As I say upthread, "Friday I'm in Love" was their last decent 'hit' single, as in "didn't just sell to rabid/rabbit Cure fans"

So, maybe they're trying to get that back with the boxset thing.

Wasn't there something about the album coming in a 'one disc' version for the record company, and a 'deluxe' 2 disc version for Robert?

that waas the original plan, yes. I still think this will only come out as a regular single album.

Hmm.. The 'announcement' is due for today, so maybe it is that 'double'.

Going to the Boston show tonight (Dan P - you going?) The set lists from the previous two shows are incredible. I'm so excited!

Yes, I am going!!! ^_^ Super-excited!

We ended up with floor tickets, row P; how about you?

New songs are sounding very good so far!

We're in 106 row E which I'm a little nervous is going to suck but have no idea since I've never been to AA before. It won't matter that much though because it's going to be awesome wherever we're stting!

Three weeks to go to the Hollywood Bowl show. Can't wait!

baader, where are you finding the new songs?

I've only seen them once before and that was 12 or 14 years ago and L never has. One of the three (!!) encores they played last week was four songs all from Seventeen Seconds. When I read it to him over the phone earlier today I heard him gasp - ha. The tickets were part of my 1st anniversary present (paper) to him. :-) I have a feeling it's going to be pretty great.

Very nice. Not seen them since 2000 since that whole festival thing in 2004 was non-fascinating -- gotta be full-on long sets or nothing with them.

I'll be hitting the Chicago show this Saturday, very very excited as I've never seen them live before.

I also haven't seen them since 2000. AM VERY EXCITED

I haven't seen them since '85. they were decent then tho

I am trying to get my sis to get me a ticket for Charlotte. No other show could get me this excited at this point in time.

They were beyond awesome in '98.

You saw the 1998 tour? At the small venues? Damn I'm jealous.

I am wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt from that tour right now! lol u mad

FUCK YES I'M MAD

lol

or rather, post-Lol

I DID DAMN YOU

hahahahahahahahaha

Great Cure tour regrets -- missing the 1989 show at Dodger Stadium, knowing there was no chance in hell of getting to see them in 1998.

I sold my tickets to the Patriot Center show last Friday on ebay at a loss. : (

;_; (for you)

Dan - it says the show starts at 7:30 - that probably means doors at 7:30 and opening act at 8:30 right? Just trying to figure out what time to get there.

Is there an opening act? I didn't think there was one.

65daysofstatic, I believe.

Yup, confirmed on their Myspace site:

ugh, I might be in trouble because I had my wife park the car in a garage that closes at midnight

hmmmm - the last couple shows started at 9 (which is when I suspect they'll start playing tonight) and went until just after midnight w/ the encores so you might want to move car if possbile. :-(

not possible at this point

or rather, possible but super annoying

Dan - re. new songs, check COF. There are a few youtube links of new songs that have been premiered. The latest being The Perfect Boy

and the new single is streaming on pitchfork: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/forkcast/50590-the-cure-the-only-one-stream

the news single sounds like outtakes from friday i'm in love

car crisis averted, yay

Qdoba is super fucking packed though

We demand regular show updates.

(Or not.)

I can't wait for the next step in Robert Smith's transformation into Bernadette Peters

We demand regular show updates.

pretty sure the Chain of Flowers blog is doing live setlist updates, like they did for the first two shows.
