Although a good section of the crowd had come to see U2 a good section of the Cure punters didn’t take to U2 (who were building up to their full pomp and took themselves very seriously at the time) and booed nearly every song.

I kinda thought they would be a bit boring since all the do is pretty much stand and play but each time I saw them (three for me) I walked away in awe of their brilliance live. Not to mention Robert Smith is actually kinda funny...Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459613450968290553noreply@blogger.com
