I much preferred the RFH gig, but get the festival set list....creep wrote:Pretty good setlist except for Friday I'm In Love but I guess that have to play that. That and Wrong Number are probably the only bad Cure songs.
Too much of their newer stuff for me. Hard to argue with At Night, Other Voices, A Strange Day and Bananafishbones though....nausearockpig wrote:I much preferred the RFH gig, but get the festival set list....creep wrote:Pretty good setlist except for Friday I'm In Love but I guess that have to play that.

True. It was a pretty good wander thru the years.creep wrote:Too much of their newer stuff for me.

Their last two albums are two of my favourites. There are a lot of duds on earlier albums. The last two are intense, well produced, well written... I can't think of a bad song from either. Take "The Scream" from 4:13 Dream. It sounds a bit Bauhaus-y, but it's great, and it's a deep cut. The Promise from their self-titled album is probably my favourite dark Cure song ever.Yeah the last two albums are not the best output.
Here are three Bloodflowers tour boots. I think I have London at home if you want a copy.Artemis wrote:For me, I think the last good Cure album was Bloodflowers.
I would have loved to have been in London for that show.

I agree with your top four. I'd put Bloodflowers and The Cure at #5 and #6 though. I'd also put Seventeen Seconds and 4:13 Dream ahead of Faith and 3 Imaginary Boys.creep wrote:Not to say you're wrong but you're wrong.Hype wrote:Their last two albums are two of my favourites.

Yeah...3 imaginary boys probably should drop a few spots. I probably haven’t given their newer stuff enough listens. Faith stays though.Hype wrote:I agree with your top four.
