"Music is the best"

I am just guessing based on the oleds in the controls. Thought the top keys might be something different but the controls sort of look the same but less keys.

Just great, a real “Madeleine de Proust”. Robert Smith has still his voice and Simon Gallup looks like his playing in a teenagers Rockabilly band.

I’ve jumped directly at the middle of the set, cause I know there"s where the set list of lengendary hits (or so) begin.

I found a set list The Cure Concert Setlist at Troxy, London on November 1, 2024 | setlist.fm

What is remarkable too is this really recent gig (it was recorded the first of Nov. ) is freely available online with high quality sound and vision. It"s generous as the 3 hours of set they give.

Sort of why I posted it. Probably sold out 10 times over and a thankyou for the fans.

So good to see them in bright (dark) shape again!
I was deeply in dark-wave music back in my teens (and still very occasionally listen to something), even if my thing were mostly Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins and all 4AD stuff.

It seems that the new Cure album has much of that Disintegration keyboard vibe, which in my opinion was the best side of what they did in the late 80s.

Nice homecoming! :smiley:

Robert Smith is passionate about driving down ticket price, especially reducing the fees of the ticket agents. This must be applauded. We were unable to get tickets for this gig or the session they did at BBC. They will be touring next year which we hope to attend. The new album and the band playing live sound much like they did in the 80’s. Yay!

I went to a great gig on Friday.

A bit of a different post. I got this book at what I thought was a good price. It is now 1/3rd the price I bought it for but perhaps you international types can get it sent to you cheap enough to make it worth while. A great book for fans.

In the US Amazon it is listed as:
Paperback from $10.56
but “Currently unavailable”.

You can always buy from the AU site. I have often done from UK or US just depends on the deal for international shipping. Often still ends up cheaper than my local AU Amazon. It is fairly obviously a local clearance price and possibly never to be printed again.
