Show Review!
The Cure live in Hovert, Stockholm, Sweden
9th February 2008

Posted on 11 February 2008

I was in the Stockholm concert and im going to write a little review. i cannot make a super review cos i was not so close to the band, i was sitting up at Porl side.

1 - the place and the sound was extremely good, except the bass was too much loud, but can hear Robert voice very clear.

2 - the setlist was absolutely predictable, they changed 0 sogngs of the australian/assian tour. For me, in the middle of the concert too many hard rock songs like never enough, use or them, end, shake dog shake, all sounds the same. the highlights for me was the last encore, cos they play quick and with passion.

3 - the band looks good but its clear that its their first concert cos they seem to have some mistakes during some songs but this was normal. Simon looks young with her brand new gold blondie hair and non-stop good feelings dance. Robert looks in good shape. Porl looks strange with a skirt that can see his bare legs and make up like the last photos of 2008. Jason looks same as always.

4. the band sound more or less good, Simon played better than never, Robert sang like an angel, going low and up , loud and whisper (my wife 1st concert was impressed about RS voice), and playing with energy. Porl seems not concentrate, just he started to play good at the end of the concert. during the kiss and a forest in some part just he didnt play (in this songs the cure need Porl as much as ever).

5. they add some samples keyboards in close to me.

6. for the new songs, i think they sound very good, please proyect and boy i never knew sounded beatiful, and freak show ( Robert said name of the song when he played ex-dont say anything) was in the middle of the why cant i be u/lets go to bed encore and fit with this 2 songs in quality. i think they are same good as the old songs and lets see how they sound in the record. by now how this 3 songs sound make me ilusions about new album.

ps/can Robert change his hair to blondie same simon and we will have a new goku of dragon ball?"
