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!
