I went to BottleRock Napa (thanks KFOG!) and got to see one of my favorite 80s bands, the Cure. I’d discuss this in the festival topic, but their performance was so good that I felt they deserved their own topic. EPIC performance and setlist. Robert Smith & the rest of the band went on for 2.5 hours and 34 songs (see below). They must be approaching 60, but not once did his voice or the sound let up (until the organizers pulled the plug for going past curfew):
1. Shake Dog Shake
2. Fascination Street
3. alt.end (First time since 2009)
4. The End of the World
5. Lovesong
6. Sleep When I'm Dead
7. Push
8. In Between Days
9. Just Like Heaven
10. Catch
11. Before Three (First time since 2004)
12. From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
13. Pictures of You
14. Lullaby
15. High
16. Never Enough (First time since 2008)
17. Wrong Number
18. The Caterpillar
19. The Walk
20. Mint Car
21. Friday I'm in Love
22. Doing the Unstuck
23. Bananafishbones
24. Want
25. The Hungry Ghost
26. One Hundred Years
27. Give Me It
Encore 1:
28. A Forest
Encore 2:
29. The Lovecats
30. Hot Hot Hot!!!
31. Let's Go to Bed
32. Freakshow
33. Close to Me
34. Why Can't I Be You? (Vocals pulled right away but audience was still singing along; sound pulled after about a minute)
^^^Now THAT's what I call a setlist. 34 songs, including most of their hits, lesser singles, and a bunch of deeper album tracks. I was glad we got Alt.End & Never Enough for the first time in years, and of all my favorite songs by them there was only one they didn't play: Disintegration. Word is they were planning on doing "Boys Don't Cry" as the final song in a 3rd encore. One more concert achieved from my New Wave greats bucket list. The only ones left are Duran Duran & Simple Minds.
