    We're going to MSG tomorrow night. Can anyone going tonight or who went last night tell me when they go onstage? We'll be coming over from NJ, and with traffic/weather/work I want to make sure we get there in time. Thanks!
    I went last night and tonight. Amazing show. You are in for a treat. They go on at 9:15 and play until midnight. I had a blast both nights.

    Thank you! I'm looking forward to it. :)

    I met the poster artist last night at MSG. He signed my poster for me. We also saw a flash mob of rollerbladers. That was new.

    Robert Smith's voice was fantastic.  The band is tight.  Go see them if you are on the fence or a fan as they will not disappoint.

    Great poster score. The show was incredible both nights I was there. I agree if any of you are thinking about going tonight or anywhere else they are playing - go for it. You will not be disappointed. 

     The rollerbladers were crazy. There were so many of them. I wonder what that was about.

    MSG Night 3 is one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. As my friend says, The Cure is a “god tier live band”.

    I saw them the first 2 nights at MSG. It was definitely up there as far as my best concert going experiences. My friend went to night 3 and was also blown away. I know they changed up the set a bit for night 3.

    Just picked up a pair in Tampa on the F2F. They sporadically pop up.

    It was a great show, I was very impressed, so glad we went.

    Just got back from Atlanta N2! Great show! 

    Very happy with the setlist. Great mix of stuff from across their career. Sound was great!

    $62 ticket and quite the show! While I missed out on at show merch, I noticed on their website they sell gig specific shirts for preorder! 2 shirts ordered for $62 (including shipping!).

    Great to see so many people singing the praises of an iconic non-grunge band!

    Saw some of these pop up. Were sold out a few days ago. Great work from Emek!

    Was at MSG3 which was my first time ever seeing them and I must say it was quite the show. While I thought it started a tad slow (we were side-stage & pretty high up so we didn’t really see the light show), the finish was memorable.

    A story from the merch line…

    Some guy sees my PJ shirt and yells ‘Yeah! Pearl Jam!’ so I respond ‘See you in Chicago!’ Then the woman two people in front of me yells ‘See you in St. Paul!’ 

    It’s always cool to run into others from the PJ community🤘

    Shoutout to the woman from S. Dakota who I talked PJ with for a few minutes while waiting to get a poster.

    Rumour has it a new album may finally be released on November 1st, some mailing list folk received a postcard with this date on.  I’ll believe it when it is properly announced, but they changed their logo in their socials and website too…

    New single is out now:

  • SVRDhand13SVRDhand13 Posts: 26,168
    Alone is perfectly produced. I’m actually happy to see the album is only 8 songs because the five I already know of are pretty long. Albums that extend too long really lose me.

    I am not a big Cure fan, loved the self-titled album from 2004...and some songs from others.  So...probably not the target audience, but I do not like that first single much at all.

    I heard the first single it this morning on XM. Only one listen, but it didn't do a whole lot for me.

    Yeah, I just listened to it. I mean, it's nice-sounding I guess - super typical sound for them - but it definitely didn't make me think, "that's awesome, can't wait to hear the rest of the album." I hope they don't think this is the best song on the album.

    Got tickets for the small launch show in London on Nov 1st (will also be streamed on YouTube) - feels like the Astoria 2006 all over again!

    The new album is incredible.  

    Omfg I probably won't be listening to anything else anytime soon

    Absolutely loving the new album. Wish I had been there last night, but the livestream was still 3 magical hours. The Cure is such a gift

    Very cool! 
    I always enjoy photos on NYC anyway, and these are great.  Sure would love to see that great city again one more time in this life!

    I've never been a huge Cure fan, though I love a few songs like "Just Like Heaven".  This new album intrigues me.  What a come back!  Mighty tempting.
