Many additions (pics, info, comments) to the Dream Tour 2000 (in Europe) page. The same will be done for the US /Australian leg of this tour later.


21st February 2010
A few more RS quotes about inspirations I missed before (thanks Anna) : A Short Term Effect, To Wish Impossible Things, Want, Club America, This Is A Lie, Mint Car, Wrong Number, Watching Me Fall, Maybe Someday, Cut Here. I also found The Lovecats one again.

New TV appearences (thanks to Macwo) : TOTP Lovecats (#2), Interview in Utrecht 84, New Zealand TV 85 ("Rabbit ?").


15th January 2010
An interview of Robert Smith by Janice Long from May 1984. Interesting part about the puppets (maybe an influence on the Close To Me video the following year ?).

An update for the setlist completists with the rare Hollywood 1984 at the old site. Please note that the correct setlist for San Francisco 25 Oct 1984 is also there (the fragment on the common digital bootleg including 100 Years, Give Me It, Piggy In The Mirror and Caterpillar comes from Glasgow 25 Aug 1984 and is nowhere to be found on the original bootleg tape). For more revised information from that tour check The Top Tour USA.


12th December 2009
Aug-Oct 1980 setlists including the mysterious 24-10-80.


05th December 2009
March-July 1980 setlists added. I believe the 1979-84 setlist info you can find online still includes some mistakes : for exemple Glasgow 05-05-80 doesn't exist as a "genuine bootleg". So here are my own researches.


04th December 2009
1979 setlists from bootlegs and press reviews + some rare old pictures & trivia (So What live ?) were added : Mar-Aug 79 - Aug-Dec 79. All these are linked in the main 1979 pages ("setlists and more") as well.

15th November 2009
Tonight is the 22th anniversary of my first Cure concert. I was only 13 and that was obviously the greatest event of my life back then. I recall this strange and wonderful impression of actually seeing the group in real (somewhere in the front rows -I don't know how I survived) as opposed to flat pictures and posters on my wall...



So here's a couple of TV interview transcripts from that era :

Les Enfants Du Rock in France : funny, unmanageable band.
Kisses from the Cure in Belgium : about wearing black clothes...



08th October 2009
The Top Tour 1984 in North America. A few improvised lyrics on Faith/Forever transcripts.

More inspiration source - Six Different Ways : We've never done a waltz. We've never done anything in a waltz time. It's actually a 6/8 time which is why that was called "Six". And I used to write down some letters saying : "this is the six different lies I've told today". (1985 interview, Baktabak Records)

The Cure.com was updated with info on the Disintegration remaster and more !


09th September 2009
US TV News 1987 (thanks JC) & an interview from an unkown UK magazine 1987 (the questions were most probably written by children).

Back with something very useful and interesting : 1977-2008 Cure songs inspirations were added in the Extras - More RS quotes as soon as I find the references.

Full Rock On 1981 radio interview transcript now available.
