The Cure, Reading Festival, 24 Aug 12 (i)

Part 1...

The reason I went to Reading / it's been a long summer waiting for this show. Headlining Friday night with a great "summercure" set, two and a half hours of career spanning music... my 18th cure show, and first with guest guitarist Reeves Gabrels.

Managed to to get to stage-left, about six rows from front by mid-set, photography a little tricky with all the dry ice and a bouncy audience!

 

 

More to photographs to come... here's what was played ~

 

 

 

Intro: tape Mainset: open high the end of the world lovesong sleep when i'm dead push inbetween days just like heaven pictures of you lullaby the caterpillar the walk friday i'm in love doing the unstuck trust from the edge of the deep green sea bananafishbones (first UK performance since 1984) play for today a forest primary want the hungry ghost wrong number one hundred years end

Encore 1: dressing up the lovecats close to me just one kiss (first UK performance) let's go to bed why can't i be you? boys don't cry

Foo Fighters, Reading Festival, 26 Aug 12

An epic performance with a set containing a decent number of early FF material & tales from the 1995 performance (what was only their 2nd UK show).

The Horrors, Reading Festival, 26 Aug 12

Typically dark and back-lit so tricky for photography.
