"The location of the "festival" was crap and also the bands that played before The Cure weren't enough. So,
everyone was waiting for The Cure. About an hour before their turn people started making their way to the front
rows.There must have been at least 10.000 people, although i read about 15.000. The wait for The Cure seemed
eternal.Then Jason came on stage followed by the others and finally Robert who greeted us with a "hello" in
Greek.After the first drum sounds i knew they were playing Out of this world.Robert's voice was crystal clear,
strong powerfull and seem self-confident.You can hear that in the video.Also,he has lost weight and looked
gorgeous on stage.The sound was very good and everyone seemed to be in very good mood.

After the first song Robert said "thank u" in greek in a very yummy way.Then watching me fall came.Strong
and powerfull as always.The sound in Plainsong wasn't very good, Robert doing his usual walks around the stage
bending to people in the front rows.He seemed really happy.Then..Figurehead...It was fantastic.Very clear and
simple version, it really made it for me.Especially Robert singing multiple times in the end "i will never be clean
again"..Robert changed the lyrics singing "i can loose myself in Chinese arts and Athinian girls"-that was fun.
Open was very energetic as usual.Then,two suprises for me: Robert said "the next song is called The Drowing
man".It was played as in the 96 tour.After this i heard the notes of The baby screams which was played very good
too.Simon's bass was excelent in this.Somewhere there Robert said "as u can see this is not a greatest hits
show",followed by The kiss.Robert's solo was amazing, many people not knowing he is such an awesome guitar
player were blinking."I wish u were dead...".Followed by a beautiful and tender If only tonight we could sleep,
the atmosphere was great.Then..HA HA HA and Shake dog shake.The drums were really intense on this.I smiled
as i heard From the edge of the deep green sea and so did many fans.The guitar parts were played very nicely.

I remember also Roger playing guitar on some song (it was Open - Craig).He looked cute, like being proud
and looking at the audience to see him play (it reminded me of Mr.Bean when he shows off hehe).When 100
years started people went crazy.Someone close to me started shouting "this is it, this is it".A very powerful
version, everyone was stoned.When i heard 39 i was a bit disappointed i never liked this song (although it rocks
live) but i was hoping for something else.Also it was not so good as i had heard it before, maybe Robert was
begining to get tired.They said goodbye with a plain and always welcome version of Bloodflowers.

After that they came for the 1st encore.Robert said "for everyone who came for the hits, this is your 15 minutes".
I heard some negative quotes about this line.Many people think that Robert said it in a bad way.I don't think so,
as he was smiling.When Inbetween days started everyone jumped around.The same thing happened on Just like
heaven.However i was not excited by these 2 songs performed.When the first notes of Forest came up people
went "wwwwwwwoooooooowww".After that they started jumping around and singing.It was not a long version of
it, with a nice solo in the end by Robert.Then they left and people kept shouting more more.So they came back and Robert said something like "i think u will like that" and played Pornography.An excellent choice, although the
sound was not very good.In the end came a rather tired Disintegration with Robert singing in a powerless and
ordinary way.

The show was about 2 hours and 15 minutes long.Overall they played excellent but many people here didn't
really enjoy it because of the lack of singles.Of course all hardcore fans were very pleased.I personally think
that it would be good to hear a few more singles, exculding maybe Watching me fall and 39.Because many fans
were tired  listening to unknown and long songs. Robert was not moving much on stage (it was the nature of the
songs) but he seemed very concentrated. On some point some idiot was ponting a laser beam on Simon's eyes
and he just opened his arms with dissapointment like saying "what's the matter with u people?"

Someone i know got the setlist and said that on it there where also Cut here, 3 imaginary boys, M and Play for
today.Also it seems Pornography and Disintegration were not on the setlist.

Overall it was a fantastic show and i was very glad seeing Robert in good shape (even his make-up seemed
fantastic)."

"It was a great show!It outdid my wildest expectations!Although the place it was held was a last- minute
decision,the Cure managed to make us forget about the details and enjoy all these songs we've loved-some
of them had wished but never had expected to hear(i loved the playlist!).Wonderful atmosphere,good sound,nice
performance from all and Robert's voice simply...captivating!"

"Just like heaven....

Last time I saw them perform, was on July 1998 In Lyon - France, in a great venue, (a roman amphitheatre)
with a great setlist, BUT with a tired, a very very tired Robert, not being able to sing through most of the songs...

To be honest, ever since then i was a bit disappointed, and i had ceased "following" the Cure around (Before
that was the most amazing 16 &17 December 1997 in London - Shepherd's Bush Empire ) and i wasn't reading
the reviews of the concerts either...

Last night though was heaven again...
It brought back all the memories, made me "remember" why i loved the Cure so much in the first place...
I had no idea a concrt could do this much for you... First time i saw them in my own country-city... (too young in
1987, away in 1995).
The crowd was (most of it) very enthusiastic, I felt a little sorry for poor Dandy Warhols, cause near their ending,
no one paid attention, everyone was screaming "Robert" and "The Cure". I was stepped on, nearly died of
asphyxia, lost my shoe (found it fortunately after 10 minutes by a great favour of luck), fell down twice (everyone
was trying for a better view), lost some hair, but in heaven...

Robert's voice was very clear, crystal clear, the quality of the sound was amazing, the heat was almost unbearable
but no one complained...
It  was nice to see Greek people so enthusiastic... (to tell you the truth i wasn't expecting something like that) . I
loved the setlist, although i think that it was a very devoted fan's favorite, not one appropriate for a festival just
for a Cure concert.... (By the way I would be obliged to have it if someone has it, cause emmm well, the beer and
the sun, they don't help memory very much) .

Roger - If you ever read this,  please let me know if you finally went to your favorite restaurant in Glyfada
(George's steak house), I spent all Tuesday hanging out of it expecting to see you arrive there (people were
staring :) )

Robert thank you...Please come back soon"

"I am still recovering from last night's amazing Cure concert!!! The Festival tour began the best way possible in
Athens and i hope they continue to play like that. The set list was the Greatest Hits cd, as it would have been if
Robert had chosen the songs. Pure Cure music, pure magic!! Robert looked in great shape and he seemed to
enjoy it more than everyone, also Simon was in great mood! Robert's Greek were impressive once more and i
think the fans appreciated it a lot.

For some fans that were not just Cure fans but came to the festival, it was a bit of dissapointment that they didnt
play much of their jumpy songs (apart from the 1st encore, where Robert said "this is your 15 minutes") and
maybe this will be an issue for the next gigs, since they are all part of festivals, where people with different music
taste gather. But for me that i was last year in Roskilde and attended 2 Dream tour gigs in 2000, it was great,
reliving these awsome nights! The Baby Screams was the surprise of the night, very pleasant indeed! I was a bit
surprised that they didnt play Cut Here or Just Say Yes, but i guess they wanted to cover the gap between the
last time they played in Athens (1995) and focused on Bloodflowers album.

I am sure it will be a great festival tour, will try to go to Hyde Park or Benicassim, i am so looking forward to the
new album, the Cure are here alive and kickin'. Have fun people, the best is yet to come!!!"

"It shoud be named the wish tour. Not because they played songs from the wish album (not at all!) but because
they played everything i never expected to hear live from them and wished that someday they will. The show
was fantastic. I think "Pornography was the highlight of the night. Before they started this song Robert said "I
think you might guess this one". After the third song Robert commended the play list of the concert saying "As
you can see this is not Greates Hits". It was one of the best concerts in Athens dedicated to the cureheads and
the hardcore fans. If you haven't been listening to the whole albums you could not enjoy it last night. I guess it
was a dream. The Cure haven't lost a bit of their shine. And it is a dark strange shine."

"It was a massive show! Everything was amazing tonight in Athens! The Cure started with Out Of This World,
continued with Watching Me Fall and then straight after they played Plainsong. I cannot remember the setlist exactly but they also played:Baby Screams (bloody great and big surprise!), Disintegration(last song), A Forest
(single version unfortunately). Forgive me if I forgot anything.The length of the show was 2hours and 20 minutes
and the attendance was about 10.000.

The only thing that i remember is that Roger played the guitar during Open which really impressed me cause i
had never noticed that before. For the other two questions i am not sure but i cannot remember Perry playing
keyboards or Robert playing the 6 string bass. Maybe i was too drunk!

The sad thing is that most of the people continue complaining in the internet forum of rockfm and in the radio
station producers that the show was very very bad because The Cure played only for the hardcore fans and not
for the majority of the 15000(this is the attendance for sure) people who were expecting to listen some more hits!

The good thing is that everyone agrees that all the members of the band and mainly Robert showed that they are
amazing musicians, despite the fact that they were not satisfied from the setlist.

Have fun in the rest of the shows! The Cure RULEEEESSSSSSS!!!"

"I was at the concert from THE CURE tonight ... its difficult ... after the last interviews i thought, the setlist will
be changed a bit (after the last tour) ... but not really... i think the band really enjoyed the concert and the
atmosphere ... and the people was WOW!!!
The encores were GREAT!!! the people were so happy to hear the "HITS"!!! and you can feel the atmosphere!!!
hope you will enjoy the concerts were you wanna go!!! i will fly now in holiday with a special memory ... i see THE CURE in athens ...sorry for my english ... but here its now half past three."
