Craig (CoF) notes :
So I've been rambling on all night on Twitter about the show, and figured I'd also post it all here. Just some quick thoughts on this fantastic show:

Loved the little guitar parts Robert added in Faith. If we can't have extra lyrics, this will do.

Charlotte was slightly disasppointing. Just seems to be missing something. I don't know, maybe its just me.

But isn't this version of Other Voices fantastic? It feels so hard and heavy in a way. Loved it!

Crowd was hard to judge. Great at points, weak at others. Saw you guys at the back of upper balcony giving it your all. : )

I was stuck in the middle of dullsville. Guy next to me didn't look too thrilled to be there. Just there for the wife/girlfriend.
He gave me the oddest look during Play for Today. Oh well, I had a great time.

Just seeing all of the good wishes and happiness for me. : ) Thank you so much! You guys are the best! It really was pretty special for me.

After saying they were doing b-sides next, and playing World War, Robert said he just realized that wasn't a b-side, but on Boys Don't Cry. Said it took him a month to just figure that out. That's why he doesn't talk much. : )

Someone threw a flag or piece of clothing on stage, and during Simon's song, Inbetween Days, he got down and scooped it up with his bass

RS opened the show by saying he should explain what they were doing with these shows. Though since this was NYC, not LA, we were probably more aware of what the shows were about. : ) Words to that effect. Loved it! : )

When the stage invader attacked, RS said it had been a long time since that happened.

For those going Sat/Sun, I was not checked at all when going in. Could have snuck anything in. Security was going around and stopping people while filming, though, so try and be discreet.

The light/fog show is pretty incredible! So scaled down from what we are used to, but just as, if not more, effective.

Like I said during the show, the pace is quick, there's barely a moment between songs. Even the set breaks are over in a flash. That's good.
But, boy when you realize it's halfway over, in what seems like 10 minutes, you want to just hold on a little longer. Make it last all night.

At the start of 1st encore, Robert said it was tempting to do a 4th album. Wasn't sure he'd be able to resist by the end of the weekend.

Don't know what the problem with the late start was.We weren't allowed to take our seats until 7:40. Not sure if it was a Beacon or Cure call.

As you can see/hear in that Inbetween Days clip, RS says "See you again next year...or tomorrow" and makes that hand gesture. Loved that! : )

I just have to say that I had some pretty high, maybe unrealistic, expectations for these shows, and they blew them away!

The Cure's professionalism, their dedication to perfection, and their hard work in getting this show to such a high level, is so evident!

So to Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Jason Cooper, @rogerodonnell, @loltolhurst, the crew & everyone helping on this, THANK YOU! Fantastic job!

So, yeah, I froze on the Staten Island ferry, watched LSU crush Arkansas, and saw a phenomenal Cure show. NYC Day 4 was pretty good! : )
