remphish1,

 

Will do. I'm going to both NOLA shows. Saw them 20 years ago at the same venue. To date it's still one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Indeed about the Cure show -- catching one of their Chicago shows - stoked!

Just now checking back in. We were definitely given two great performances by The Cure this week. Tuesday night they opened the vault a bit and played some songs I haven't heard in years (live or recorded). There was a time when I knew everything they released, but I'd forgotten many of them over the years. I know a lot of locals who attended Tuesday's show were disappointed that the band didn't play more material from Disintegration or Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, but I love it when a band plays lesser known or older material live. Wednesday night they focused more on their more commercially popular albums but still made room for less mainstream songs. 

 

They debuted two new songs, too. Honestly they seemed like "Cure by the numbers" songs live, but I'd like to hear studio versions before I judge them. I'll say this about The Cure: They may be older and a little heavier (as am I), but they still deliver a great live show and give the fans their money's worth. We got four encores on Tuesday and five on Wednesday. It was obvious to me that they were having fun and that Robert Smith genuinely cares about his fans. 

 

One thing about The Cure is that they are a global band. I was right in front of the stage barricade on Tuesday, and I was surrounded by fans from France, Germany, New Zealand, Central America and South America who'd traveled to NOLA to see the shows. That was kinda cool.
