JUMPING SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAIN
FOREVER (Alternate)

A very chatty Robert Smith questioned the crowd a few times ("How many of you have seen The Cure play that before ? Oh no, not that far back."). He also revealed that the group only had four days of rehearsals before this. Which explained some different drums beats on some songs and Robert, in a good mood and excited about playing live again, didn't mind this actually.

More surprising was the encore, as Robert replied to somebody requesting Boys Don't Cry over and over ("We can't play Boys Don't Cry, anything else ?") before following with Jumping Someone Else's Train (another audience's request). How come they knew that song when it hasn't been in the live repertoire since 1981 ? The song would also be played a second time in Pasadena (USA). The last track of tonight's show was an alternate version of Forever, different guitar chords and bass line but in the same spirit. Maybe as a joke, The Walk's tune was included (played on guitar) towards the end of the song.
