The Cure, Chicago Illinois, Allstate Arena, May17th 2008

Robert Smith leads Porl, Jason and Simon through a career retrospective with a smattering of new material from their upcomming 13th studio album. The evening clocked in at over 3 hours. Much of the classic material was re-worked and really fresh. Robert was quirky as ever, dancing, joking and apologizing for his few vocal problems. Lengendary as always they were, proving why they are still uber relevant all these years later!

I was there!!!! Less than superb seats for this one but I made up for it with Second Rowers for the Cleveland gig. What a fantastic and underrated group. One of the best live acts I have ever seen!!! Agharrrrshdh I wish I were there right now!

I was in 206 - center across the stage. AWESOME CONCERT! THAN YOU FOR POSTING - This is in my opinion the best video clip taken/posted from this concert! Love the drum beats on this song.

Oh, and Lullaby -- without keyboards! Ugh!!!

Great footage! I was in section 102, the opposite side of the stage. Woo, it was a blast! ( =

I agree, how can the Cure do without a keyboard? From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea was just not the same!!!

[sweatyspaghetti]

I was there! Good show, but not the best. I was dissapointed that there were NO keyboards. Hit me up if anybody wants the set list!

[DONSATANAS]

One of the best concerts of the year.

Jeeze you got some nice vid!! Thanks for all your postings from this. That was a great show. I was in 102 across the way. did you do this with a cam, or a phone? probably too nice for a phone. Awesome though. thanks again for taking time away from the show for us.

Hope you didnt have that crazy flailing girl in the pink shirt next to you!! :)) she needed to be tossed. We spotted her across the coliseum! ;-)

I was in row 15 right in front.. Looks like I wasn't the only one excited to see them perform this song live! It was my 1st time seeing them live and was everything I had ever expected and more...opening up with Plainsong has to be one of the most intense live experiences I've ever witnessed!
