The Cure - Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University - 06182008
AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The opening act was 65 Days of static, overall not bad but a very short set (30 minutes) and 45 minutes between them and the cure
I really dug the music, but the thing that bugged me was that all the synth and effects were pre-recorded so it was like watching musicians play along with a tape. its a LIVE performance (even if the bassist is in charge of this, you think they could have got someone to fill in)
The CURE - what can i say, fucking awesome. played for over 2 1/2 hours (I didnt stay for the second encore - i was running on 5 hours sleep and had a two hour car ride home). Highlights were Torture, Push, Primary(!) and Wrong Number, i have never heard them play these live
set list (in no particualr order, tho the first two songs and encore are correct)
open
fascination Street
inbetween days
perfect boy (new song, really good)
