Saw The Cure last nightin concert and...wow!
BEST ever concert i have seen - 3 hours of absolute pure joy!
All the old favourites played and a few new ones as well. Robert Smith was inspiring - his voice is great and sounds better live than it does on records. Gallup did his usual jumping round the stage like a maniac whils Pohl did a great job on the guitar filling in keyboard bits and the like. I had forgotten what a great live band they are and also what an "ax-man" Robert can be on the guitar - he rocks.
Crowd was predominatley in thier 30s/40s a few "baby-bats" and Emos around. Was quite funny to watch the younger generation as they got excited over the "well known" songs like Boys dont cry etc whilst us older lot got exceedingly overexcited over old favourites like Night in Cairo. 10.15 Saturday Night etc. Sitting just in front of me was a couple in their late 60's early 70's - and they were rocking all night long - every word sung as well. Also a few kiddies their with parental units - and thats great to see as well.
Set was amazing - 3 encores as well and concert finished with a "kick-arse" version of Killing an Arab.
I danced, I sang, I remember younger times and I reignited my love for The Cure.
I firmly believe that there is a cure song out there for any occassion - go on - ask me!
When I got home - Chloe was on the sofa - apparently she had convinced her Auntie CHoc that sleep is for wimpos and had fallen asleep at 10pm! As soon as she heard my clumpy feet she was awake and crying - not much sleep was got after that -as she was over tired and I was overexcited!
