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'.
― Mark G, Monday, 28 April 2008 09:43 (eighteen years ago)
Going to the Boston show tonight (Dan P - you going?) The set lists from the previous two shows are incredible. I'm so excited!
― ENBB, Monday, 12 May 2008 15:23 (eighteen years ago)
Yes, I am going!!! ^_^ Super-excited!
We ended up with floor tickets, row P; how about you?
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 15:38 (eighteen years ago)
New songs are sounding very good so far!
― baaderonixx, Monday, 12 May 2008 15:40 (eighteen years ago)
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!
― ENBB, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:07 (eighteen years ago)
Three weeks to go to the Hollywood Bowl show. Can't wait!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:26 (eighteen years ago)
baader, where are you finding the new songs?
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:15 (eighteen years ago)
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.
― ENBB, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:18 (eighteen years ago)
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.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:20 (eighteen years ago)
I'll be hitting the Chicago show this Saturday, very very excited as I've never seen them live before.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 12 May 2008 19:32 (eighteen years ago)
I also haven't seen them since 2000. AM VERY EXCITED
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 19:34 (eighteen years ago)
I haven't seen them since '85. they were decent then tho
― J0hn D., Monday, 12 May 2008 20:09 (eighteen years ago)
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.
― wanko ergo sum, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:13 (eighteen years ago)
They were beyond awesome in '98.
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:19 (eighteen years ago)
You saw the 1998 tour? At the small venues? Damn I'm jealous.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:24 (eighteen years ago)
I am wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt from that tour right now! lol u mad
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:30 (eighteen years ago)

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.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:46 (eighteen years ago)
I sold my tickets to the Patriot Center show last Friday on ebay at a loss. : (
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 12 May 2008 20:48 (eighteen years ago)
;_; (for you)
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:03 (eighteen years ago)
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.
― ENBB, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:05 (eighteen years ago)
Is there an opening act? I didn't think there was one.
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:06 (eighteen years ago)
65daysofstatic, I believe.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:07 (eighteen years ago)
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
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:08 (eighteen years ago)
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. :-(
― ENBB, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:18 (eighteen years ago)
not possible at this point
or rather, possible but super annoying
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 21:19 (eighteen years ago)
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
― baaderonixx, Monday, 12 May 2008 22:09 (eighteen years ago)

― djmartian, Monday, 12 May 2008 22:40 (eighteen years ago)

Qdoba is super fucking packed though
― HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 22:52 (eighteen years ago)
We demand regular show updates.

I can't wait for the next step in Robert Smith's transformation into Bernadette Peters
― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 12 May 2008 23:08 (eighteen years ago)
pretty sure the Chain of Flowers blog is doing live setlist updates, like they did for the first two shows.

In fact, soundcheck's already up:
Soundcheck: The Baby Screams, Us or Them, New Song #1, New Song #2, New Song #1, Plainsong.
― stephen, Monday, 12 May 2008 23:36 (eighteen years ago)
I also haven't seen them since 2000.
I haven't seen them since 1984. Looking forward to the Hollywood Bowl show also.
― Elvis Telecom, Monday, 12 May 2008 23:36 (eighteen years ago)
I caught the Houston and Dallas shows for Curiosa 2004; never seen a full-length Cure set. I'll be hitting Houston, Austin and possibly Dallas this year, the latter depending on my work schedule. But definitely the first two!
― stephen, Monday, 12 May 2008 23:43 (eighteen years ago)
Hev DP if you happen to check this and are walking around we're in first row right next to players' entrance!
