Saw the Cure play a similar but much longer set at the lovely old Victorian Saint James Theatre in Wellington, New Zealand in 1984. They did "Charlotte Sometimes", "Faith" etc. off their first few albums too. Ended with Robert Smith lying in the foetal position on the floor of the stage. The Cure toured New Zealand frequently and were always in the media and charts here in their early days because their manager Chris Parry was a Kiwi. Gothic and alternative rock music was big here - New Zealand was the only country where Joy Division had two number one singles...the Fall toured and put out a New Zealand-only live album of their New Zealand shows in 1982. Bauhaus, the Birthday Party, the Psychedelic Furs etc. were all big here.

I've seen The Cure many times in all sorts of venues, but the greatest time to be a Cure fan and see them live was 1989 and 1992. The Cure was HUGE then and they were larger than life. I've seen them in so many different venues including small clubs and limited shows, but we were the perfect age in '89 and seeing an entire stadium of people watch in awe as they took the stage amidst the Plainsong chimes and flashing lights and dry ice... And 1992 we were old enough to travel but young enough to not have any ties so we could follow them up the coast. We did it again in 1996 and a half-hearted follow in 2000, but in 1992 there touring forWish and that was just such an amazing album. The Swing Tour had more variety ands them playing some nice gems, but we had already met them by then and they were no longer mythological... they were just guys.

Misha Teller There are for sure keyboard parts in Shake dog Shake, hanging garden and 100 years. I do not think Robert would allow him playing nothing. And i think he would either. In that period he was still "normall'. After the Head on The Door his alcohol and drugs use became worse and worse. And got more abandoned from the group. Lol became useless during 1987. Thats why Roger became a part of the group. On Disintegration Lol did not played anything. And finally Robert kicked him out of the group.
