ahem....the cure.......ahem

Although 38 songs is quite impressive, it's not as good as the 49 song Pearl Jam gig I have!!!

bloody hell !! they did a lot of the good old ones after all

Load of Bollocks

38??? Bloody torture,people will of had trains to catch.Fuckin thoughtless twats the Cure

I prefer the old New Order days of 9 or 10 songs and NO encore, great leave us wanting more

38 songs, quite many

If that were the Cure we'd be left wanting no more..and with ears that are pissing blood most probably

Why does't Robert sit down,brush his hair and shut the fuck up?

you'd think the amount of work involved doing 38 songs at gigs would shift some of his weight off

he obviously devours the pies soon as he comes off stage to put it all back on again

Pukka

Outstanding Lipstick. One of the best hairstyles I have seen, gonna do mine the same, and the pies were PUKKA

The Cure always digs from their vault. I am suprised that Killing an Arab is played in these dark days of Bush's war.

Fat Bob's rider

38 songs is nothing man. Me and Jack will be doin 50, standard

Obviously, we will have to have 50+ songs before this is possible, but when we have,

Few mint drum solos in between too

Damn. That is an awesome setlist. I bet Porl playing "Open" kicks ass.

If the Cure isn't going to play "Doing the Unstuck," I'm not interested.

Because that's the only song that I really like of the Cure.

And I am not a fan of encores -- much less three encores.

38 songs? Bloody hell Liam, you got your moneys worth!

Man...Robbie Smith must have shed some cargo after that huge set list.

Yes but remember 38 cure songs = about 12 No songs beccause NO songs have the depth to be developed for longer than 3:20 without causing the listener to commit suicide. It's something I always loved about them...other bands write a 3 min tune that some gimp extends to a 12"...NO wrote 12" and lef the record company to worry about a radio edit...once again proving that the NO way is the RIGHT way :D

cos he's a corporate whore who lets his record company rewrite his lyrics?

a good ratio price of the ticket/performance...

the lyrics are now " I Could Kill A Meat Pie"

the lyrics are now " I Could Kill A Meat Pie"

Ace!

Comrade, don't tell me you have some tune like Picture of You as your cell phone ring...!

Time for you get a new cell phone... a Treo perhaps.

Like Cockatoos

Speaking of double entendre birds, you forgot to mention Pussy Galore.

Or is that a single entendre?

Since when was that a Cure song?

See, I told you I didn't care for the Cure....

Even if it may be The End of the World.

And then there is A Man Inside My Mouth (it's a B-side).

God, Binocher is right -- Fat Bob is truly a fat twat!

EDIT: Funny Vatican story will be at your doorstep late tonight!

You seem to have been Cured of your aversion to Fat Bob, Mrs. Peel. Drive safe. :)

The Treo works if you have a good provider.

Try the Treo using Verizon, and see how fast you can go surf the Web. I'm impressed, that's for certain!

as far as i can tell, you in oz can only get them hooked to a mobile phone network, and they then hook up to the net through the new 3 (video etc) network.

hmm. Well, let me know if it works...can they give you a demo first?

I like to test drive before buying!

Emma Peel wrote: hmm. Well, let me know if it works...can they give you a demo first?

it should work. they advertise a number of phones with web access. that 3 network is still very new and only available in cities, outsider there it will be just a normal phone on the gsm network.

Just got a copy of Sir Paul McCartney gigging in Des Moines last year. 44 songs.

Does Paully have 44 songs anybody would want to listen to?

Now, if it was Dana Carvey as Paully, defo, but even then, 44 songs would be a bit much.

Track list not included and I have only played it enough to judge the quality. Given the fact that he plays Beatle tunes as well as his own I would say yes. Also, the show sold out in 30 minutes unlike the half empty NIN I saw earlier this year.

Got bootleg from my butcher. Plan to give it to me mum.

Agreed on the Beatles tunes, but Paully's output... well, I was going to say gets worse every year, but it's been so long since I listened, I have no idea if it's true or not. Decent bloke, though.

You too, Twist. What a nice son!

And heres the Mp3s of the gig:

The Cure 1st April 06

Porl!

Thanx for the link, Liam Twas wondering when it would unearth.

Spotnick wrote: 38 songs, it's really impressive... just too bad we can't have a similar New Order concert, just imagine how good it would be.

But since The Cure is not really about energy on stage, they can afford it.

Au contraire, mon ami. Guitarist extraordinaire Porl is a whirling dervish onstage. Dreamboat bassist** Simon Gallup is all over the stage. Like all drummers, Jason Cooper sits, so he's certainly not less energetic than any other drummer. It's only the beloved Robert Smith who remains rooted at his microphone.

Ace link, btw Liam!

** As determined by NOOL's resident expert, This Blue-Eyed Boy That Wants To Be.

Sure Robert does not dance around like Herr Sumner buthe plays the guitar much more. A three hour cure gig aint a non-energy event. The fact is that NO cannot possibly play for three hours. Besides, makes life easier for bootleggers.

Now if only we could get Herr Sumner to stop dancing around like Herr Sumner.

i love that new order 1998 innovation. it shows he's having fun.

Hey, now, don't dis Herr Sumner!

....although he did injure himself at the concert I last saw, where he was attempting to do his version of an Irish jig, I think, on stage.

But no matter, he's still lovely! Love you, Herr Sumner!

I sort of agree. The Cure did a one off gig, so 38 songs as a years quota fair enough. Sure, if NO did a one off gig i wouldnt mind seeing them do 38 songs. Not gig after gig though. Especially if it consisted of sub standard versions of JD songs.

if new order did 38 songs, well actually hear songs we haven't heard for a while. that's one positive. an hour and a half for a gig seems just about right to me though.

Liam you were at the Doves concert a few months ago. Although i thought they were brilliant, i'd had enough after an hour. Think it went on for about 2 hours, by which time all the songs sounded the same to me.

I was at several doves concerts a few months ago.

although i presume you are reffering to the Apollo gig. They kept me entertained, especially playing Rise. And they did have that hilarious video showing them going to the Apsley Cottage.

If New Order put any effort into their shows, they could play for two hours. The way I see it, 20 songs isn't too much to ask regardless of age, the effects of past drug use, or just being in a generally pissy mood. I can get 20 songs out of the Little River Band or Ambrosia for the cost it takes to get into any county fair this summer.

With that said, I think this Cure show is ace. Would have liked "Sinking", "A Letter to Elise", and "Doing the Unstuck" on there, but fuck - 38 songs...

Rumours continue to circulate that Jo Brand stood in for the last hour while Bob replenished the pie stocks.Pukka!

38 songs by any band and i would be bored Shitless, especially if it was Fat Bob's lot
