the cure show last night blew my mind [View All]

[fizzgig]

my boyfriend and i went to see the cure at red rocks last night (for those of you not familiar with red rocks, it's a natural ampitheatre west of denver...check it out http://redrocksonline.com/). it was the third time i'd seen them, but the first time that he had and i could not have picked a better venue for the show.

it was a perfect summer-like evening, a light breeze, we got to watch the full moon come up over the city lights and there was a storm east of denver and lightning filled that part of the horizon.

they didn't come on until it was almost fully dark, but they played for about three hours and i was amazed by some of the songs they played. there where quite a few songs that i hadn't heard them play live before.

i have no idea what they opened with (it was from their upcoming album), but here is the rest of the play list: prayers for rain, a night like this, end of the world, love song, to wish impossible things, pictures of you, lullaby, maybe someday, the perfect boy, from the edge of the deep green sea, hot hot hot, the only one, the blood, the walk, push, friday i'm in love, just like heaven, if only tonight we could sleep, wrong number, 100 years and then another new song i didn't know.

encore 1: homesick and disintegration

encore 2: freakshow, close to me and why can't i be you

encore 3: boy's don't cry, jumping someone else's train, grinding halt, 1015 on a saturday night and killing an arab

that show was the most fun i've had and the happiest i've felt in a long, long time :D
