Notes:
Like many have said, this was a very hard tour to get tickets from. My brother is a huge Cure fan and we were hoping to go to Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit. Was only able to make 2 of them. This was a 23,000 sold out show and we left early from Detroit in order to get there, about 5pm. It was raining, looking pretty grim in terms of the show going on with thunderstorms in the forecast later. It took us about an hour to park and then another hour to walk/get in to the venue. At this point it's a downpour. Worried about the gear and how wet it is. I had a ticket off to the side of the pavilion and felt the sound would not carry well to where I was sitting. But, I was going to try anyways. After Twilight Sad, it just started BUCKETING outside. The Cure crew doing line check etc and then thunder/lightning started breaking out. The power went out at the venue. At this point I did not think the show was going to happen, understandable too! Blossom was asking people on the lawn to go back to their cars. But no one budged. It was a nightmare to get in to this venue and I can't imagine lining back up to get inside and probably miss a good portion of the show. So I don't blame them. My brother was sitting in another section and he texted me saying that ushers were helping some people from the lawn to find empty seats to sit at. This was our chance. The section over, and just a few seats from where I was sitting were about 7 open seats. No one had come to sit in them yet. I assumed they were probably season ticket holders for the venue. Probably to be unoccupied. I texted my brother to come down here for us to occupy these seats. Perfect. In line with the left stack.
There was about a 30 minute delay in the start of the set. But the show went on! About 30 minutes in to their set, people finally showed up for these seats. They probably just had a tough time getting in to the venue. Luckily, the seats in front of this row were available... At this point, I didn't care if we'd get booted from the seats. Just had to try. I felt a little awkward taking these seats as a server was coming around taking orders from everyone etc. But I think this guy really knew we weren't supposed to be sitting there and just didn't care. Everyone was cold and wet, two other people joined our row that looked like they were just trying to beat the rain too. Two instances where I thought this was is and we were going to get booted from the seats was the server asking for a button that people could hit to order and then an usher came over and told me I couldn't use this handle I have for my digital camera while I was filming. With all that said, I just thought the tape was going to suck. The moving, the people asking me shit. I was just thinking the worst. The set was VERY enjoyable. The sound was impressive at Blossom. Last time I had been there was 08 for Radiohead, so it had been a while. Blossom was awesome in The Cure to play past curfew and fit in their whole set. Highlight was 'A Forest' in to 'Shake Dog Shake.'
I was happy to be able to hit at least two of the three shows. After all of the stuff that went on during the show, this was a really good tape and happy that it came out way better than I was expecting. I was +/- on bringing in windscreens for the ATs. I ended up not using them, so in-between songs by the end of the night was a few gusts of wind. Like I said, a few times there may be instances of an earthquake happening with the camera too. Enjoy the tape.

This might be among the best audience recordings I've ever heard, even with the KZbin compression. Your efforts are greatly appreciated for those of us who weren't able to attend. Wishful thinking, but someday, I'd love a listen to the full res 96/24 on a quality system and just sink into it.

[@ryanj65]

Appreciate that! I sadly only recorded up to 24/48 on the tape. But the tape is available out there!

That's how it was for me too. I was so happily mind blown! I have loved the cure since 16 yr old and I'm 47 now. I was worried I'd never get to see them. I finally did tho!!! My life is complete lol....I can die happily now.

Just to say that I listen to this whole show from start to end just about every day. I went to both Atlanta shows - because after night one I had to go back and managed to get floor for night two. I'll never forget, in the top 5 concerts of my life. I always was a fan of the band, but now I'm absolutely obsessed. They have never been better. Thank you for this recording, it's amazing.

We stood in the rain and lightning warning for a long time, thinking the show was going to be canceled. At one point, I said, "Either cancel the show or come out and play!" Then they came out and it was perfect thereafter.

With all the Lightning and Thunder before the show, and then the way they started to show watch the video. It's like lightning and thunder but I wish I would assign this on the walk in or requested it.

Your attitude is what is lousy, pal. He said that he normally uses a thing to support his camera but was told he could not at this show, and holding a camera up for a lengthy period of time gets fucking tiring and can distract from your enjoyment of the moment, too. Be thankful that they did this, and caught a moment in time for you to enjoy, and sacrificed some of their personal enjoyment.
