Oh, then you say and it's light outside
And you say again
And it's light outside
And go out to look... at what she...
At what she...
The mirage we shared
All the colors in my hand
Said things you
I'll stay inside of you
And my hand touching yours...
And my fingers still like the way it should
I reach your eyes
Say... if only you can be my friend
If only you can be my friend
Said that and she looked at me
Turned around like she wants to leave
If only you can be my friend
If only you can be my friend
Look... in stone face
To make a sign... make you mine
I can show you that
Show you that
Make you mine
Make you mine
Show you that
Show you that
Make you mine
I can make you mine
I can make you mine
I can make you mine
There's nothing left but faith
And you say again
And it's light outside
And go out to look... at what she...
At what she...
The mirage we shared
All the colors in my hand
Said things you
I'll stay inside of you
And my hand touching yours...
And my fingers still like the way it should
I reach your eyes
Say... if only you can be my friend
If only you can be my friend
Said that and she looked at me
Turned around like she wants to leave
If only you can be my friend
If only you can be my friend
Look... in stone face
To make a sign... make you mine
I can show you that
Show you that
Make you mine
Make you mine
Show you that
Show you that
Make you mine
I can make you mine
I can make you mine
I can make you mine
There's nothing left but faith

Alot of legends about this show....
Read some of the stories below:::
(thanks to cure-concerts.de and impressionofsounds.com for the words below)
from 'Ten Imaginary Years':
Robert: "My 21st birthday happened in Boston and after the gig, Bill and the four of us got taken to some art media event by this guy who was making a video of us. We had some drugs. I remember a TV and a set of homemade videos and we got bored and insisted this bloke drove us back to our hotel so he took us in his Beetle - the five of us and his girlfriend!"
"It was a little cramped so i got out and sat on the bonnet - it was about five in the morning so we thought we'd take the risk. Bill then decided to drive and went the wrong way round a roundabout without thinking. When he realised it, of course, he just kept on going round, laughing insanely and then he got hysterical, got a flat, slewed across the road and i fell of the bonnet."
"I tried to change the wheel - I don't know why I was doing it - but I couldn't understand why the hubcap wouldn't go back on so I started kicking it, and it was only a few seconds later, when the pain suddenly reached my brain, that i realised the reason the hub cap wouldn't go back on was because my thumb was traped underneath it. I'd just reduced it to pulp!"
"After that we drove to New York overnight but ended up in Cape Cod because Bill had taken a wrong turn! We eventually arrived at the airport just in time to catch the plane to get back to London for Top Of The Pops."

From Impression Of Sounds:
A few hours from Robert's birthday. The show was filmed by local art students. On the last encore, Robert Smith played some chords from Object to please somebody in the audience requesting the song. He also improvised the lyrics on Seventeen Seconds (from the encore) refering to his own birthday ! "21 years / A measure of life". The song was also dedicated to Mission Of Burma (on the same bill).
The odd facts of the night were the problems with delay pedals on 10:15 Saturday Night and especially on A Forest vocals, the echo not fading at all. After the show, Robert broke his thumb while changing a van's wheel on the way to the airport !

This is an EXCELLENT quality recording of one of the earlier dates of the picture tour.
Little something to get you ready for the reflections show :)
This is digitized from a first generation tape, and the quality shows that.
The master must've been insane, because even the first gen sounds incredible.

Roger O'Donnell and Lol Tolhurst to Reunite with the Cure for Sydney 'Reflections' Concerts
"NEVER SAY NEVER"
IT'S OFFICIAL!!
2011 will see both Roger O'Donnell and Lol Tolhurst returning to the Cure for two special shows @ Vivid Live
TheCure “Reflections”

The Cure Trio: Robert Smith (voice & guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums)
Seventeen Seconds (1980)

THE CURE “REFLECTIONS”added to line up for stephen PAVLOVIC’S VIVID LIVE at Sydney Opera house
Sydney Opera House today announced that the curator of Vivid LIVE, Stephen Pavlovic has secured one of the world’s most enduringly influential bands, The Cure to perform for Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House. Appearing onstage with a uniquely evolving line-up of band members past and present, The Cure “Reflections” will see the band perform their first three albums live, in their entirety, in an extraordinary concert experience exclusively for Vivid LIVE on May 31 and June 1.
While punk was still reverberating through popular culture, The Cure’s unique blend of moody, atmospheric and unforgettable songs pioneered a new era in popular music and marked them forg reatness from the start. Their strong sense of theatricality and unique styling gave birth to entirely new subcultures and new generations continue to discover their signature sound and make it the soundtrack to their lives.
The Cure have toured Australia many times but have never attempted a show such as this on our shores. Hear how they became the voice of generations with three releases that etched them into our consciousness. From the punchy, offbeat, starkly unadorned songs of Three Imaginary Boys, through the increasingly shadowy and quixotic pieces of SeventeenSeconds, to the singular melancholic grandeur of Faith, this is a rare chance to experience the origins of one of popular music’s greatest stories.
Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House (May 27– June 5) is a curated music festival and is part of Vivid Sydney (May 27 – June 13), the city’s annualfestival of light, music and ideas. Following on from Brian Eno (2009) and Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson(2010), Australia’s Stephen “Pav” Pavlovic of Modular has taken the reigns as curator for this unique event for 2011.
Vivid LIVE curator Stephen Pavlovic says "From my teenage years to the present day, The Cure have always been one of the most inspiring bands I have ever come across. To have the opportunity to include them in the line up is anhonour equal to curating VividLIVE"
The Cure’s Robert Smith says, “Vivid LIVE is an exceptional event, and we are very excited to be taking part. We have played a lot of memorable shows in Australia – we first performed here in 1980, and this will be our seventh trip – but it will be our first time onstage in the Sydney Opera House, and we want to do something unique to mark the occasion. Combining Cure members past and present in a live filmed interpretation of our first three albums feels to me like it should do the trick!”
The Cure join an incredible line up of local and international artists including Spiritualized, Bat for Lashes, Chris Cunningham, The Avalanches, Sonny Rollins, Yo Gabba Gabba!, WU LYF, OFWGKTA and 2manydjs and more.
