  (U-WIRE) LOS ANGELES -- Supporting its first album in four years, beloved anti-pop
  hero The Cure played an unpredictable set to a sold-out Greek Theatre Tuesday evening.
  With longtime fans now a bit older, stage movements a bit more restrained, the more than
  20-year-old band walked onto the stage like it was just any old band, put all egos aside
  and worked to prove that it still had the original magic it created.

  It was apparent that the separatist angst inherent in being a Cure fan had subsided in most
  of the attendees, as the devout legions had found full-time jobs and responsibility since the
  band's conception in the late '70s. Although most people were indeed clad in black or
  leather ? or both ? the sometimes-scary Goth element present at every Cure show of the
  past seemed to have been assimilated into normality, or else vanished altogether.

  Hardly anyone under the age of 20 was in attendance, signifying the end of an era; the band
  is perhaps now unable to draw in new generations of disenfranchised youths like it has
  successfully done over three decades with honest, passionate lyricism and
  emotion-drenched song-writing.

  Conspicuously absent in the three-hour set list were the standard radio sing-a-longs,
  instead replaced with longer, more intimate pieces off of some of the band's earlier albums.
  For the hard-core fan, this was something of a dream come true ? for the average listener,
  a definite bore.

  As soon as The Cure took to the stage and frontman Robert Smith hit the mic with his
  trademark, high-pitched vocals, the fanatical crowd jumped up out of its seats and into a
  haze of pot smoke.

  As the quintet opened with a couple tracks from its latest album, "Bloodflowers," the
  audience rose in a combination of awe and ecstasy, wondering if the band had stood the
  test of time, and could succeed in living up to its name.

  Although the band's decision to stay away from the pop singles left much of the crowd
  unimpressed, most were devotees who didn't wait for endless hours in front of
  Ticketmaster outlets for anything less than a full dredging of some of the band's most
  personal ? and arguably finest ? work.

  Guitarist Smith, longtime bassist Simon Gallup, keyboardist Roger O'Donnell, lead guitarist
  Perry Bamonte and drummer Jason Cooper chugged through a wide assortment of pieces,
  mostly playing versions straight off their respective albums. No one in the mainly
  30-something crowd seemed to mind this in the least.

  Song selections ranged from popular cuts off "Bloodflowers," to obscure, back-catalog
  pieces from albums such as 1980's "Seventeen Seconds" and 1982's "Pornography."
  One-third of the way into the set, Smith introduced the ominous, eight-minute "The
  Figurehead" to an equal combination of wild applauds and blank stares, later asking the
  audience, "how many of you expected that one?"

  In an electrified version of the 1989 classic "Fascination Street," the first song to feature
  Smith on his electric guitar, on-screen neon lights of adult industry slogans barraged the
  audience. "Pictures of You" warranted huge screams from the audience, as an array of
  soft-colored lighting washed over them. Smith sang the career-defining love ballad as
  personally as possible ? treating the 10-year old song as tenderly as if it were a newborn.

  Other rarely-played pieces included the eastern-tinged "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep"
  to start off the second encore, followed by the cynical "Jupiter Crash," which Smith
  introduced as "a song we haven't played in a few years." Next was a revamped version of
  the new-wavish "M," also found on "Seventeen Seconds."

  Although Smith managed to move less than three feet away from his initial position
  throughout the course of the night, he let more-than-eager fans grope his limbs during song
  intros, shaking hands with a select and lucky few.

  Toward the end of the night, several females rushed the stage to give Smith an embrace,
  which he eagerly welcomed. Even if noticeably heavier, slower and suffering from the minor
  cataclysms associated with the human aging process, Smith still remains an undisputed,
  inaccessible sex symbol for the tortured and heavy-hearted.

  During the show closer ? a quick rendition of "A Forest" ? things got a little less personable.
  As Smith wandered too close to the end of the stage for comfort, a rabid fan seized the
  opportunity to take a grab at his guitar, disrupting the flow of the band's sound and
  probably cutting the song from the jamming section that usually proceeds in live
  performances.

  A constant theme found not only in "Bloodflowers" but throughout the band's set list as
  well, was that of dissolution. From the regretful yet firm "Disintegration," to the apocalyptic
  "End" (in which Smith chants, "stop loving me" over and over, as if he really meant it), to
  the angry "Watching Me Fall," it became apparent that The Cure has no intention of
  sticking around too much longer as a functioning band.

  With a dozen albums under their belt, scores of hit singles and a massive fan base, Smith
  and company really have nothing left to prove. As the aged angst king delicately puts it in
  the collapsing "39," "the fire is almost out, and there's nothing left to burn." From the way
  most of the crowd responded to the band's performance on Tuesday night, it was evident
  that no one accepted this as the truth.

  As always, The Cure tried to put the fans first in their live show, and while not being very
  experimental in their song renditions in the slightest, the band successfully gave what was
  wanted while simultaneously more-than-hinting at a probable separation in the near future.

  And who can blame them? As with most dinosaur rock groups, who eventually come to
  face the decision of whether or not to call it quits, perhaps it is better to go out in a blaze of
  glory than to putt around like an annoying ember. In spite of the fact that The Cure might
  not be as hip nor as wanted as in the old days, they will always be respected and loved as
  one of the greatest shaping entities of today's popular music.

QUICK NOTE ON 1ST LA SHOW- Since they had a days rest from the Irvine show I knew they would play a
special set for the LA fans.  No disappointments, it was a passionate night with many beautiful songs.  That night
was special for me especially during the encores.  During encores I managed to get first row of Orchristra section,
in the center!!!!!!!!!  Wow, what an amazing view and feeling during Plainsong and Jupiter Crash (very well
rehearsed, just like on the swing tour).  All the encores were amazing and it was personally even more special
because I held and hugged a special someone during intimate songs  (=  it was a dream come true and with such a
fantastic set list and performance.  The crowed was begging for more and the band was ready to give them more
but curfew didn't allow more time.  After the show I remember thinking, how are they going to top that one for the
2nd night?

Soundcheck: A fan we met got in the theathre and told us he was video tapeing the soundcheck and Roger noticed
him and security was sent to retrieve his camera he said he got the full versions of these two : The Same Deep
Water As You, Wrong Number, before being booted out and haveing his video camera taken away.

The Show:A Forest(during this one when A fan tripped on roberts gutiar unplugging it and bringing him to his
knees the fan also bumped rogers keyboards and had them wobbleling roger caught them in time and started to
replay the intro to forest )That was too close for me :)

The day started at 3pm when I got to the theater to see where it was in Griffith Park. When I got to the Greek
theater, there were a few fans inline that I didn't recognize from the previous shows. I spoke with them for a
while and then went to go look for a hotel, which was very easy. when I returned to the theater and went inside was
in ahhhh. The theater was very nice and SMALL. My seats were in sec A, a little to the left of Roger. I was very
satisfied with them. My only complaint was that some of the people there didn't seem to be into it as much as I. I
was scramming and clapping throughout the whole concert. I felt as if I was bugging everyone around me because I
was so loud between songs and during the encore. Oh well, there loss:) Every song was a highlight of my evening!
A few surprises that I didn't expect though, the Figurehead! That was on my list of songs I wanted to hear. I thought
the set was very well done, like the other two shows I had been to. Each night had been a new experience because
of the variation with the setlist. That made me real happy. Watching me fall is great live. The album version doesn't
justify how wonderful the song is ( I like the album version, but like it live A LOT better).

    The boys seemed to be having a good time. Roger is really good to the fans, I have to give him credit for that.
During each encore he would grab something from one of the fans in front and take it in back with him. When he
returned he would give it back. I suppose it was being autographed by the band. I had one more show to enjoy, but
was feeling the end was coming. I have to go back to work after the second night of the Greek:( Maybe i can make
another show before the tour ends in  NY. This has been a DREAM come true.

The Cure at the Greek last night was a stellar event. This one will go down in Cure history as being one of the most
out of control shows ever. During "Just like Heaven" two crazy girls jumped up on stage and were able to give
Robert Smith a big hug! And, during the very beginning of "A Forest" another girl jumped on stage and grabbed
Robert - he was so startled that both he and Roger stopped playing altogether. It was quite a memorable moment.
Other than that it was a great show. When I saw them in Vegas on Saturday I didn't get to see that good of a light
show because the Joint is so small that could not get all of their lighting equipment on the stage. The Greek has
plenty of room for all of their gear. And Thank goodness for that because their light and stage show is a sight to
behold. The color schemes and such were used to great affect on each particular song. The set list was a lot
different than the Las Vegas show as well - much to my delight. Here are the highlights:

Watching Me Fall - with every listen this song just keeps getting better. Another powerful version! Simon puts so
much emotion in this one that it just sprays all over everybody.

The Figurehead - a personal highlight for me. I was sitting by a bunch of deadbeats that all sat down when this song
came on - I didn't care. I pissed them all off by not sitting down and singing along with Robert. I screamed at the
deadbeats, "You Mean Nothing....!"

Sinking - another personal highlight for me. Again Simon's bass had me grooving. I just love this song. There was
screen behind Robert that flashing images of him as he was singing from a camera mounted on his mike.

The Loudest Sound - my new favorite song. This sounded good on the Bloodflowers CD - it sounded even better
live!

Pictures Of You - My buddy in Las Vegas was extremely jealous when I told him that this was played - I called him
at midnight to brag about it.

If Only Tonight We Could Sleep - another extreme favorite of mine. My only complaint is that it was not loud
enough. This one should be so loud that the bass makes your bones rattle.

Jupiter Crash - a complete surprise. Robert mentioned that they have not performed this song for a couple of years
- making this LA show unique!

Plainsong - what can I say that has not already been said about this grand piece of music! I really enjoyed the light
show on this one. Again Robert prowls the stage to get one final look at his congregation.

Disintegration - a very powerful version that actually got those deadbeats off their lazy asses!

M - another personal highlight for me. The deadbeats were still standing and were now having fun.

Play For Today - a powerful rendition. I couldn't hear the crowd singing the keyboard parts and I didn't miss it.

A Forest - Like I mentioned before this was where the rabid fan jumped on stage and the music came to a "grinding
halt". It was quite amusing to witness such an event. I have it all captured on audio and you can hear the crowd
gasp as the music stops - and then they cheer in relief when it begins again.

Since the Greek has a curfew imposed on it the show ended abruptly at 11:00pm and we only got two encores. I got
the feeling that the band was willing play more but they simply could not because of the curfew. OH WELL -
I have one more night to enjoy all of this before it's all over! See y'all tonight at the Greek!

I'm sitting at my computer at work, fighting sleep as I type this.  After last night's fantastic concert, I just couldn't
go to sleep right away and quickly cursed my alarm clock as it screamed at me this morning.  But it was all very,
very much worth it.

After seeing the boys at Irvine, I was certain that they'd be hard pressed to outdo themselves. But they did.  The
part that stands out most brilliantly for me is the second encore.  The simple, bold "M" flashing huge behind the
stage was innvigorating.  Simon and Robert played feverishly in A Forest.  It still boggles the mind to think that
some of these are songs written more than two decades ago and he still sings, and they all still play with such
passion.  I was pulled and compelled to a frenzy that even Irvine's great setlist didn't accomplish.  Unbelievable...

I echo the sentiments of others I've heard that the second night will be something special.  If that's true, and it is
better still than the first night, I'll burst before the first hour is through.  Hope to see you all there.

So glad i ended up going to the first Greek show...was a last minute thing as this night was supposed to be a rest
night for us, but when i managed to get us 5th row tickets...well, need i say more.

The set was great tonight...lots of old favorites and new surprises...the figurehead, shiver & shake, jupiter crash, if
only tonight we could sleep...and that camera on Robert for Sinking again...this is too awesome-can't get enough of
it!

I don't know about the entire crowd being into the show...once again where i was there were people sitting, talking
and making more beer runs...who gets beer during the figurehead? and these were people in the first few rows &
pit.

Seeing lots of familiar faces from Vegas & Irvine..kind of neat.

3 more shows to go...see ya:)

I just wanted to thank Roger and let everyone know that he really cares about the fans.

At the 5/30 show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles there was a girl sitting  next to me by herself. (Pit 3rd row
center) Anyway, she was completely blown away by the concert, she was carried away with emotion. She was trying
to get Robert to sign her program toward the end of the show, but there were too many hands thrusting objects at
him. At the end of Disintegration Roger came over and took the program and a pen from the girl and went
backstage (it was in between encores.) When he came out, he handed the girl the signed program with all of the
band's signatures on it. After the show Roger handed the girl his set list! She was ecstatic!!! It truly was an
emotional event for her and for the fans around her. To see Roger care so much about one fan is so incredible, it
makes me love the Cure that much more. Just thought I'd share....

Again, Thank you Roger....

The reason why the cure couldn't play longer was because the Greek has a 10:30 curfew and they had already play
half hour past that time.  After a forest the band and audience was ready for another song or encore set but Robert
just came to the microphone and said, "unfortunately that's the end, sorry.  Thank you and good night."
I think they knew about the time restraints, which would account for such a  long second set of encores.

Out Of This World - Extremely pretty version. Since this was my last concert for this tour it also had a special
meaning for me... I'm hoping hard as possible that the fire will still be there for another tour (judging by tonight's
performance it was definitely there!)
Watching Me Fall - A good version; nothing special about it. Roger gets seriously into it.
Want - Robert did both of the little "awwwws" before the song. One of my favourites off of WMS and I'm pleased
that they're doing it for these shows
Fascination St. - I don't really remember much about this version other than  it sounded much better than many
versions I've head.
Pictures of You - The crowd went wild when he sang "lost in the dark" - the entire place was dark except for him,
bathed in a single spotlight.
The Figurehead - I fucking lost it - the projection of a cracked and faded  figurehead took my breath away,
complimenting the darkness of the song  perfectly. Small lyric change "drown me with your purity". I cried during
this one. Kicks the ass of the Paris version anyday. After that he commented how it was "a bit unexpected". But
completely welcome.
The Loudest Sound - Looks up at the sky; great audience reaction.
Maybe Someday - Robert sings 'Maybe Someday' differently then the album version
Edge of the Deep Green Sea - An amazing crowd pleaser - it was great to see the entire place put their hands in the
sky (to which Robert replied with a "yeah!"), and also the amount of people who sang along to every line.
Inbetween Days - Everyone gets up and dances and sings "without youuuu" at the top of their lungs.
Sinking - "just when i thought it was safe to go back in the water" A pause between songs - is it something new? No
it's sinking. These new live versions have really made me appreciate this song for what it is.
Prayers for Rain - No long rain. His voice became strangely subdued yet still passionate at the end.
100 Years - The background projection seriously takes my breath away - the way it complements the complete
hopelessness and darkness of the song is great. The strobe light madness during the "It feels like 100 years"
climax is amazing. And also, I think that this actually shows off a lot of Jason's talent at drumming.
Shiver and Shake - This version started out oddly with the drum & bass, and the vocals seemed too low. However,
its rarity and energy made up for that.
End - I enjoy the version they've played on this tour; the 'exaggerated' guitars and keyboards along with the odd
sprialing background projection is seems like some strange carnival. I think he was doing "she stopped loving
me" again.
39 - I've never really liked this song; the only slow point for me, although it was obvious that everyone was into it.
Bloodflowers - Perry and Robert's guitars together sound amazing - musically it's one of the highlights of their live
performances together, and really shows how they function so smoothly as a real band. Smooth, gorgeous, simply
dreamy version.
There Is No If - I have to again comment on what a great crowd this was - my friend and I planned to sneak forward
after people left after the main show, but we saw no one leave! This version had a lot of people singing along.
Trust - Everyone busts out the lighters. There were little stars in the audience along with the sky.
Plainsong - I really wish they'd open with the chimes, but the huge sound at the beginning also sent the audience
screaming. Robert went around and collected items - I saw a book and something shiny and round? A couple
banners were held up.
Disintegration - Amazing. Take the emotions evident on Entreat and the PBS version and multiply them by ten -
how the end always is...
2nd encore: If Only Tonight We Could Sleep - I really like the background projections for this, really gives the song
new imagery for me. Various indian styled patterns, and an image of a strange angel (dancing in the deepest
ocean...) Highly atmospheric and as he said, "A strange encore..."
Jupiter Crash - "We haven't played this one for a few years" (I was certain it was a WMS song because he said 'a
few years'.) Everyone cheered loudly for this, and I swear I could hear gasps from the audience at the time that the
Jupiter Show started.
M - The crowd went nuts at the sight of the huge M. Great version. For this and Play for Today (I heard a lot of
people do the keyboard line!) I really like the ultra-simplistic lighting - a subtle reference back to the minimalistic
days that these incredible songs came from.
Just Like Heaven - Of course, everyone got moving, including some people in the front who decided to jump
onstage and grab/'hug' Robert. I have to admire someone who can play flawlessly when hyperactive girls are
jumping on him. The audience sang along, and he even let us do a few 'Yous'.
A Forest - The beginning of this was ruined by some guy who ran onstage and proceded to knock Robert down,
throwing his guitar out of tune (does the greek theatre have NO FUCKING CONCEPT of security?), and leading
to some awkward keyboards for a while whilst Robert got a different guitar. It paid off with an incredible version,
with Simon's solo at the end sounding light years away from the already fabulous Show version. The crowd was
insane at the end.

oh my ...where do i start..i get chills just talking about it.

so my friend and i splurge and get pit tickets to the greek (the best venue on earth)..we're RIGHT up front..half
our bodies leaning on the stage...i got many pictures..anyways..on with the show:

highlights:

pictures of you (very emotional song for me)
jupiter crash!!!!
figurehead
if only tonight...

same deep water as you (in soundcheck only)

lowlights:

you want a lowlight, i'll give you a lowlight.  i talked to Roger before the  show and asked if they could play Siamese
Twins..i want to hear that so bad. they play it a lot anyways, it's not an odd request.  He said "we're gonna play that
tonight.."  They didn't  play it.

Robert messed up BIG TIME during prayers for rain...he messed up the lyrics at the end..and he was trying to get
out of it..so he didn't do the "RAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNNNN" part

Lol was there, sitting to the side of the stage watching the whole thing.  they did shiver and shake..how rude, huh!!

during just like heaven, 4 girls rushed the stage seperately, one after the other..it was funny, they grabbed Robert
and he was just laughing...then this guy decides to rush the stage, the bodyguard pulls on his shirt, the guy pulls for
Robert, then they all fall !!  Robert was laughing so hard.

during fascination st., he went up to the crowd of the opposite side of  us..and we were motioning for him to come to
our side.  He grabbed the guitar chord and did a notion like it won't reach..was great..

so, during plainsong, he comes up to us first.  let me just say that my friend and i were the only ones on our side
getting into each and every song and the people surrounding us were posers!  Most of them never heard of the
Cure.  so, rob walks straight to me first and i grab both his hands and he's just chillin...he bends down and i ask him
if i can kiss his cheek..he whispered in my ear that there were too many people here to do that!!  so i kissed his
hand!  his cologne didn't smell good at all!!  but he is still so damn sexy..he was in no rush..he hung out for a bit,
talked to my friend, and she gave him a green glowstick..he wrapped it around his arm for the whole song...talk
about a moment.

the whole night was fascinating...two encores, three hours exactly for the whole show..i'm still in shock..there is also
tomorrow night too...i need pit for tomorrow night too, it's addicting you know.

this is short but sweet~

by far on of  the *best* cure performance..the band sounded wonderful!  100 years, M, Trust, Just Like Heaven
& A Play for Today drove the fans wild! there was so much energy from the crowd it was contagious! even when
someone knocked robert down from jumping on the stage he seemed unruffled and carried on playing. definately a
dream tour..

I have just returned home from the first Los Angeles show, and after the 2 hour drive I am still trying to settle down
from the show.  All along I have been looking forward to the second night in Los Angeles.  I just know it is going to
be a special show, well to my surprise the first show was quite good also.
        Some unusual things went on tonight.  While I was waiting for some friends to arrive out in front of the theater,
I noticed a familiar face walking my way.  It was none other than Lol Tolhurst, who has been making a habit of
showing up to Cure shows in Los Angeles.  He was with his wife and son I assume.  He looked good and healthy and
he was dressed as if was ready to get up on stage and play.  The strange thing was that he was sitting on the side of
the stage for the entire show.  It was so surreal to see him sitting back there moving his head to the rhythm of
"Play For Today".  He was sitting next to Roger and Roger would periodically look over at him and smile.  I am
not sure where the feud between Loll and the band stands but this would lead me to believe that things are a little
better between them right now.
        The show itself was pretty odd too.  Rather than playing "Fascination Street" in the fourth slot after "Want",
they played "Pictures of You" followed by "The Figurehead".  What a fucking treat.  "Watching Me Fall" rocked
again and Perry keeps impressing me more and more.  We got to see the "Sinking" cam in action one more time.
        The highlight of the evening for me was the "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" song they chose to play in the
main set.  It seems like at previous Dream Tour shows they have been switching between "The Kiss" and "The
Snake Pit". Tonight it was "Shiver and Shake" in honor of Lol, I would presume.  This was absolutely the best I
have ever seen this song played.  It seemed like if the song had lasted one minute longer Robert's guitar would
have spontaneuosly combusted.  It really was amazing.
        For the majority of this show we were in the 13 row, which was fine but not spectacular.  Well, something very
lucky happened to us.  One of The Cure's security guys that we had met in Vegas came up and told us to follow him.
He escorted us past the Greek security right up to the third row in the pit directly in front of Robert.  It was like a
dream.  I couldn't believe he did that for us.  So we got to spend the rest of the show, which consisted of two very
long encores, right up at the front.
        Robert had his sunburst Mosrite out for the entire show and finally got to use it and the beginning of the
second encore when they played "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep".  He then also used it on the finale for the night
"A Forest".
        This was another fantastic show.  I can't wait for tomorrow night.  This band never ceases to amaze me.  I also
got to see a lot of familiar faces from the last two shows in Irvine and Vegas.  These shows really are starting to
feel like one big happy family.

Tonight's show at the Greek was just head and shoulders above the other two shows I've been to on this tour
(Houston and Irvine).  The sound was great, the venue was gorgeous, and crowd was manic, and the band was tight
and in a great mood.  This was my 6th Cure show overall.  A few notes:

Pictures of You - The first change of the night, it was very welcome to hear this and the crowd appreciated it.
The Figurehead - Apparently added during the show, as Robert said afterwards that it was "a bit unexpected."
Sinking - Before this, Robert said "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water..." before launching
into it.
Shiver and Shake - Absolutely manic, wonderful punk version that was just electricfying.
Disintegration - One of those amazing versions where Robert has the mic in his hand, doubled over and just crying
out the lyrics...unreal.
If Only... - "This is a bit of a weird encore." said Robert, beginning of the wonderful 2nd encore...another nice
version of this nice song.
Jupiter Crash - "We're going to play another one we haven't done in a few years..."  Good to see this back in the
set, the standout track from WMS.
Just Like Heaven - Simply out of control tonight...a few girls got on stange and gently gave Robert hugs from
behind before being escorted off.
A Forest - Unfortunately, some idiot guy got on stage and was tripped by the security...at which point he kind of fell
onto Robert and they both fell down.  The crowd just kind of gasped and the band just stopped during the intro.
Everyone started booing the guy, and the band started over. Robert's guitar was out of tune after that, so he had to
use a different one and went on to bring down the house.  Simon finished the show with his great bass pounding.

The band was just so into the show tonight.  I'm a bit sad that this was probably my last Cure show, but I'm so glad
that my last show was such a bloody excellent one.  "This dream never ends..."

What an incredible and amazing show...The Venue was surreal with whispering trees and dreamy landscapes
surrounding so that you could not see anything that would remind you of your everyday life...the feeling of being
out of this world...The set was beautiful, especially the 2nd encore (they only did 2)...Robert came back on and
said... "This going to be a weird set, but it is something I have in my head"...and they did If Only Tonight We
Could Sleep, Jupiter Crash (he said they haven't played this in years), M, Just Like Heaven and a Forest...Three
times during JLH, girls ran on stage in the excitement...And the beginning of A Forest was completely stopped as
some guy ran on, was tackled, and in the mix Robert's guitar had to be retuned, which they did as they started to
play again...Also, during Prayers for Rain, Robert changed the middle a little and never sang the "Prayers for
RRRRRAAAAIIIINNNN" part...what a show, what a dream, can't wait for tomorrow...

Its' 1:35AM and I'm still in a state of disbelief and shock. they pulled some rare tracks out of there sleeves.
from playing The Figurehead for the 3rd time this tour to the surprising Shiver and Shake. instead of the nightly
tape into Open, was Pictures of You. It was simply beautiful. Then the encores rolled around. the first was the
There is No If-Trust-Plainsong-Disintergration. Then came the unexpected. 2nd Encore: 1.If Only Tonight We
Could Sleep.  sooo beautiful!! "This is one we haven't done for a few years"... 2.Jupiter Crash!! i never thought
they would pull this out of the 'soundcheck only' song list...into 3.M, i dreamed about seeing this. my wish came
true! thats why they call it the DreamTour. 4.Play For Today. its 1980 all over again. 5.Just Like Heaven. done
really well. the audience went wild! 6.A Forest   awwe a classic way to end it. During the intro for A Forest a girl
jumped on stage to hug robert. She got pulled off as Robert smiled at her. then another girl jumped on stage. pulled
off , and then once more. it was awesome. now it was time for a guy to go up. as he went up he reached out and fell
as he tried to take hold of Roberts guitar. well the security pulled him off but tripped and took the fan down along
with Robert and the guitar. and for about 5 seconds A Forest stopped and it was dead silent, but then it continued
and another gutiar was used. That might be one of the longest 2nd Encore list so far. This was totally an
unforgetable show. sooooooo great!!!

The show was amazing. The songs were performed very well. However, the band weren't too animated; they looked
very somber, especially Robert.  In other reviews I read that most people were sitting and chatting, not here in Los
Angeles. I'd say about 97% of the crowd were on their feet for the entire show; just a few people sitting here and
there.
During "Just Like Heaven" some girls jumped on stage and hugged Robert. When  "A Forest" started, a girl
jumped on Robert and they both fell together, the  audience started booing. Then, Robert got up and was trying to
play his guitar, but it was having problems. Meanwhile, the rest of the band continued doing the intro to the
song--Robert got another guitar, then, rushed to the microphone to start singing the song. I wonder because of the
incident, the band did not do another encore?
