Jason Cooper was incredible, drumming away for almost 3 hours. Almost every song was better than the recorded version. Incredible.

    We were front row center in Vancouver the following night and it was so amazing and surreal and the best concert I've ever been too. This song makes me think of every boy I had a crush on in 1986 HS and daydreaming about them asking me to prom...and they never did of course. So it's dreamy, and kinda sad, and now those boys are all unrecognizable. So all I have now are Pictures of You to remember them by.

      Robert went to see someone when he was a youngster they were only on stage for about 40 minutes, he swore then that he would never short change his fans. I believe the Cure have been known to do 4 hour shows. I once saw them only do 2 hours and was disappointed by that

    I was at that Gorge show in 96 and it was amazing. I wonder if it was a nightmare being out in the middle of a dusty nowhere? From reading other comment, looks like maybe technical issues was the reason. That makes sense. Great show regardless ❤
