I felt the same about the Dammed until i saw them last year. Blew me away how heavy they are live. Best mix of the night (supporting the Darkenss and Hollywood Vampires). 1 Quote
Roger2611 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Always loved the Cure's recorded work but have never been that taken with them live but I am enjoying tonight's set and it is nice to be able to hear the bassist, as I might have mentioned once or twice on here I really don't get Thunderbird basses at all but I have to admit is sounds really nice in this context 1 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I think a good mix can really help people enjoy a band. Ive heard terrible mixes of bands I like and have stopped listening, whereas ive heard good mixes of bands i wouldn't give the time of day to (like the Cure) and really enjoyed it. Quote
T-Bay Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Love the Cure and this is one of the best I have heard them live. Quote

Rich Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Just watched George Ezra's set on the red button. Really enjoyed it. Tight band and GE looked genuinely overjoyed to be there. Now watching The Cure. 1 Quote

dave_bass5 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) They have a lot of Roland Cubes on stage. Must remeber to point this out in the next ‘how many watts do i need to play the dog and duck?’ Lol . We are probably due one in the next 48 hours. Edited June 30, 2019 by dave_bass5 Quote
Jazzmaster62 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Bass player was playing the exact same way when I watched them at Reading 2012... which they also headlined. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Nope, cant stand A Forest, where’s the remote? Thats me out. I have bad memories of having to play this in my first band, 15mins + version. 1 Quote

Band isn't there to tailor to your needs, even though by the sound of it, you don't even like the band? 2 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Until the second encore (which has just started) I thought they had overdosed on mogadon... if ever there was a band in desperate need of a fuzzbox! Quote
Rich Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Yup, this is a great set and the sound is fabulous. I'm not a huge Cure fan but this is excellent. Quote

ahpook Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I turned the TV on to see some of the Cure's set, for old-time's sake. I'm impressed - they seem to have a bit more gusto than previous years I've seen them on the telly. Quote

Do I expect a band on TV to tailor their set for me lol. Ive been very complimentary about them, and ive said i never liked them in the past, so there is no ‘by the sound of it’, and ive posted WHY I don’t like this song. I guess you are one of those that jump in with insults without reading a thread. Now go away and leave me alone. Edited June 30, 2019 by dave_bass5 2 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Anyway, Foo fighters are on Sky Arts so I’m watching that now. Quote

BreadBin Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Following on from the Cure they've just shown clips of Christine and the Queen's, the Streets and Billie Eilish all absolutely killing it. Good to see 👍 Quote

Amazing band with guitar tones to die for, and the bass sounded wonderful as well. ( Might have to check out some Reverend basses. ) Ms Crow was fantastic, note perfect and full of energy, and even played bass ( Guild M-85) on one tune too. Wish I’d caught her on recent Uk tour. Saw a bit of Kylie earlier - okay, band great especially the bassist. Mylie Cyrus was better, with Mark Ronson guesting. Quote
