10:15 On A Saturday Night

Well, okay, it was more like about 8:00 on last Saturday night when the Cure took to the stage here in London at the Royal Albert Hall. I am not the *biggest* Cure fan, no black eye shadow and can of hair spray for me, and the last time I saw them live (in Adelaide) I kind of suffered for it as they played a lot of obscure stuff. Good for hard core fans, but not for me.
Tonight was 10 times the show the Adelaide gig was. They still played a lot of songs I didn't know, probably 50% or so, but in the three encores, yes three, they played Let's Go To Bed, Why Cant I Be You, 10:15 Saturday Night, Fire In Cairo (aka F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O), Boys Don't Cry, Killing an Arab and they finished off with A Forest. Absolutely brilliant. Had pretty good seats as well in the stalls. An awesome night. Full setlist here.

    Sigh..

    Now if we could just get Robert to rejoin Siouxsie and the Banshees as a side project, all of my 70's/80's dreams will come true.
