First of all, I wanted to share the HD video of the opening Cure song at Madison Square Garden – Underneath the Stars.
If you want the high quality version, click this link and then the “Watch in High Quality” link below that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJQ7aHAmVYc
Otherwise, here yah go:
(You can also find “A Night Like This” from the same show in this post: http://sintixerr.wordpress.com/2008/06/23/video-a-night-like-this-the-cure/ )
Secondly: We got back in yesterday afternoon from our two day stay in New York for back to back Cure shows (at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall). As previously mentioned, the first was an amazing, high powered show which was one of the best I’ve seen. Radio City Music Hall was equally well-played, but while the venue had an air of intimacy lacking at the Garden, our seats weren’t nearly as good and I didn’t feel quite as “connected” to the show as before (despite Robert walking all up and down the side stairs of the venue). I didnt get any pictures – just video – but spiggy has a ton.

I’ll do a mini-review later (probably…I obviously dont always follow through on the “later”’s here), but I wanted to thank all of the Chain of Flowers people we hung out with at Heartland and later…Laurie, Randy, Beckenbach, Danny, Karen, Veronica, others whos names Im blanking on for the moment :) One of the things I enjoy about travelling to see the Cure is all the people we get to meet, and this group was particularly fun. Hope to see you all around :)

Hey Jack, Sean McGraw here, I believe I met you at Rosie O’Grady’s after the gig on Saturday Night. I was the one who sang a few tunes while the solo artist played guitar. You know, the guy who put the line in With or Without You about spending everything you have on Cure tix hahaha. At the end of the night I flopped down at your table and rambled on and on, but what can I say it was a long and incredible two nights with my favorite band. I enjoyed meeting you all, were you the one who went to Hong Kong to see The Cure? That is AMAZING. Anyway feel free to Email me anytime and definitely check out my band’s myspace – it is a two man show, I like to think it is pretty unique and we play all over the Philadelphia area and surrounding states.
Thank you for giving me your website address, just got here and this looks way cool, I will certainly be checking it out!
BTW I also put a post on the thecure.com under the most recent news item and also under the RCMH Event area and did mention you all. As a guy who plays up to 6-7 shows a week, I really needed that weekend and connecting with cool people like you is what it is all about.
Cheers,
Sean
