Charlotte show
I have been looking forward to seeing a Cure show for well over 20 years and I finally had my chance. Best concert I have even been to.
Does anyone know where I can download this show? I found the Boston show, but I was at the Charlotte show and I would really love to have a recording.
Please help!
Free tickets
It's a little late, but I have 2 free tickets (tonight's show) that I can email to anybody who wants them. Post your email address and they're yours!
Went to the Tampa show and it was awesome!

One Tree Hill
Wonder if Robert will make it to Wilmington to see his Lovesong lyrics that were painted onto the riverside basketball court in the Season 5 finale of One Tree Hill. The Peyton Sawyer character (and the show) are huge Cure fans...

So, did we all have fun?
I had a blast myself.
Sorry to curefannc and gregoryadamsmith for not getting up with you at Dixies(unless I did. I met some people going to the show but no one that seemed affiliated with this website). I was there from about 5:00 until 6:50 so if you were there and saw a guy in a kilt, that was me. Nice sharing bar space with you. :)
Alright then, off to bed. Hope everyone had a good one!

Very sorry I didn't make it. Plans ran a muck and and I didn't make it. But.....The show was AWESOME right?????? I ended up front row and Rob and the boys were mere feet in front of me. Hopefully I can post the pics tomorrow. To the band I would like to say thank you for an amazing night. The energy, the dancing, the set list.....everything was perfect. Well, meeting you all would have made it perfect but close enough. Thanks again!
The Charlotte show was AWESOME
I really have always loved The Cure and Robert Smith...now I think I could be his groupie. how scary is that!?!
Anyway, I can't wait for the next show!
9-month wait worth it
Thank you Robert...it was a long wait, but totally worth it. I saw you in San Diego 20 years ago, and you mates haven't lost a step.
Does anyone have the setlist including encores for tonite?
Thanks.
set lists
my husband I were wondering about set lists too. If you find one, please let use know where

No worries girl! I bet by the time you wake up tomorrow the set list will be on here or chain of flowers. com. It was amazing! I tried to keep track in my head but got so overwhelmed by the show that all I know is they opened with Underneath the stars and ended with Killing an Arab. The rest is a musical, blissful combination. A night I will never, ever forget.
here ya go. What an amazing set list!

PS
UNDERNEATH THE STARS IS A COSMIC MASTERPIECE!
FUCK EVERY OTHER CURE SONG... UTS IS WHERE IT'S AT!
Thank you for intoxicating me mind, heart, soul...
only 1
The only song I wanted that was not played was a Forest.
Yet, an amazing show. I could not get my recorder in. I was turned away and had to go back to the car. If anybody did manage to get a recording of the show let us know. Also, how many other dates were video taped like they did last night? Hopefully we get a DVD out of this tour.
Utterly amazing
This was hands down the best show of my concert-going life! Faith was .. well ... life changing. Did anyone else see Robert crying during Faith?
Yes It Was
a fucking great show!!! I had involuntary tears streaming down my face b/c I was soo excited to be there and soo happy to finally see Robert up close, well through binoculars at least.
Incredible show
Wow, what an incredible show last night. It reminded me of why The Cure is one of my favorite bands. Incredible set list, thanks so much for posting that for us. If you don't know, the Madison Square Garden Show will be show on Fuse TV channel this Friday night at 8pm with a reply at 12am... already have the DVR set for it!
HOLY HELL!!!!!!!!
that was awesome my first time seeing the cure live!!!! i started in the 4th row section 3 then worked my way to the front row i know i saw the guy in the kilt with the new york dolls pink shirt from here. i was wearing the 1987 kiss me kiss me tour shirt and had khaki shorts and black new balnce shoes if anyone saw me. im only 20 and the cure will forver be my favorite band!!!!!!!!!!! i thought there would have been a lot more goth looking people there im glad there werent no offense but there was more 30-60 year olds there which was better to have
Hmmm.
CosmoKramer5b, I was wearing a kilt but I wasn't wearing New York Dolls shirt. There was however a guy near me who was. Maybe you saw some weird composite? Either way, great to hear you had a good time.
Curefannc, don't sweat the not meeting up, things happen. I'll catch you next concert. :)
You know what I thought was the coolest part of the night? As transcendant as the concert was, as on top of the game as the boys were, it was the people. I tell you what, seeing grey haired old guys in Dockers and button down shirts completely getting off to the music with a bunch of 15 year old Hot Topic kids warmed even my crusty, overly cynical heart.
pictures etc...
hey guys... got my pictures and stuff uploaded... from Row 3 stage right.

btw... the New York Dolls guy is part-owner of the coolest damn bar in Charlotte. That was Ken from Jeff's Bucket Shop. Great underground bar for anyone looking for a random place to hang out the next time you're in Charlotte.
LMAO OFF
SCHMAKT? im in you bys dont cry video!!!! im the one i guess i could say longest arms in the air and jumping almost the entire song!!! lol cool :P
