It was, seriously, a dream come true to get to see Robert Smith and his band mates last night. They put on an incredible show at the Allstate Arena here in Chicago.
65 Days of Static opened for them tho we missed seeing them - heard some of them as we were waiting t-shirt and beer/pretzel lines! Hel-lo! I HAD to get my Boys Don't Cry shirt! And REALLY...26 bucks for 2 regular-sized cups of beer and 1 pretzel? REALLY???
The Cure's crazy light show had me longing for my magic mushroom years and when Robert talks you can only understand about half of what he says, but they played for almost 3 hours (no watch or cell phone so I don't know exactly)!
Great mix of people too - not as much goth as we expected, but some for sure! And a wide, wide range of age groups - I know a lot of that is The Cure but suspect some of them were there just to see 65 DOS.
Robert, Robert, Robert - No "Letter to Elise"? You cracked my heart just a little with that one - the blood's still trickling down...
I will just have to go see them again!
We had such a great night, I can hardly explain it!
Now, when the hell are the Counting Crows going to play the Chicago area?
