I just remembered I saw them at Glastonbury 1989/90
Someone in the crowd had to be airlifted out I seem to recall.

I was 16 first time I saw them at my first Glastonbury. I was stoned off my box, there was a lightning storm about halfway through and lazers look ace beamed through Robert's barnet. 
Since then saw them at Wembley with Disintegration, that time at Glastonbury where the helicopter had to land mid-set that kalidarkone mentions. Most recently Cardiff mentioned upthread. I think that one might be the best one of the lot, although the Disintegration-era one was really special.
The new songs were fucking brilliant live btw. If the album's like that, it'll be a cracker.

OK. I'm glad you saw the helicopter airlift because sometimes I'm not sure about the difference between my memory and my imagination. Also I was very high at the time.I was 16 first time I saw them at my first Glastonbury.

Yeah that was definitely real. A woman had a heart attack down the front and got flown to hospital. She was fine. She wrote into the NME to thank everyone that helped her.

Co-ordinates to Blackpool, where of course Robert Smith was born.
So, so far we’ve have had the site of the first gig and now this.
It does feel like this could be the end, so it’s exciting but also a bit sad..

I saw them play this live, but hearing the first recorded part of the album was a thrill. It sounds magical..

"This is the end of every song that we sing
The fire burned out to ash and
The stars grown dim with tears
Cold and afraid
The ghosts of all that we’ve been
We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness
And the birds falling out of our skies
And the words falling out of our minds
And here is to love, so much love
Falling out of our lives
Hopes and dreams are gone
The end of every song
And it all stops we were always sure that
We would never change
And it all stops
Wе were always sure that wе
Would stay the same but it all stops
And we close our eyes to sleep
To dream a boy and girl
Who dream the world is nothing but a dream
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
This is this end of every song we sing
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
This is the end of every song we sing alone"

Yeah my old muckers The Cure Whatsapped me a few times over the last couple of days.
Nice to hear from them - not caught up in a while....
I've actually never seen them live so I took will be hoping to haemorrhage cash to put that right soon...

They're famous for insisting on fair ticket prices and refusing to allow any 'dynamic pricing' bullshit.

Brilliant song. Monumental. I can't have a fanboi sob to it because I'm at work, but boy will this bring old fella tears at some point. Wow.

They played 4 songs off the new album last year, including Alone. All are bleaker, sadder and more moving than anything on Disintegration. As all Cure fans know this is a good thing!
