Aug. 1st-Vancouver,Canada (Queen Elizabeth Theatre)


Review by Yosem Reichert-Sweet

On came the Cure 30 min. late to the nice powerful opening 
arpeggios of Want.  The set list proceeded well, the songs were energetic 
and powerful, nothing really stands out for the main set although I 
really liked Treasure and Jupiter Crash, but that's me.  Robert seemed to 
be having fun and grabbed some girl who was calling to him from the front 
row to give her a hug, I think she asked him to play Faith. He held 
raiiiin for around 24.6 seconds (I timed it!) versus about 17.3 for the 
George.  The encores were even better than the main set though.  Everyone 
was really into Hot^3 and the seemed to end with a great version of A 
Forest, but as Robert walked of the stage the girl he had picked up 
jumped up on stage and ran to give him a hug, security promptly removed 
her, after a hug of course and then did the same to the plethora of 
teenage girls and one guy who followed suit.  The important thing tough 
was that Robert then walked back to the mike and said "There's still one 
more song we know how to play (that was mumbled) and then were going to 
play this song because I feel like it. This song is called Faith"!  
Fantastic.
