First encore FTW.
I still feel quite strongly that Seventeen Seconds is their best album.

Night 2 was raaaaadically different from night 1 and had 10 Disintegration songs to 1 Wish song, so yeah. It's just luck of the draw like always.
Ok, so that was a blast. The shows are getting longer and I bet they'll be playing 40 songs by the time they get to LA. Not my favorite setlist last night but it was fantastic, intimate venue, Mexican audiences are the best, they played Elise and, oh yeah, the band in my hotel. Simon & Roger made it a point, it seemed, to talk to every person in the bar - like actually have conversations with people. They literally came over to us and offered hugs. Smith posed for photos with a very small group of fans in the lobby and disappeared. He looks so much thinner and healthier up close than on stage. He looked great, actually.
So wow, they are nice people, guys. That's my Cure story. Of all the musicians I ever thought it would be cool to meet like that, they never crossed my mind.
So far they've played seventy different songs in six shows. Not bad for a band that's been around for nearly 40 years. If only other bands could rotate that much stuff around...
