The Prayer Tour
Live in Nantes, France

 lullaby, close to me, let's go to bed, why can't i be you,
m, hot hot hot, three imaginary boys, boys don't cry,
homesick, untitled, faith

Lyrics to Faith:
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

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." 




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 !



from 'A Visual Documentary':
21 APRIL 1980
The Underground Club, Boston. It is Robert's 21st birthday, and to celebrate, the band come on stage almost an hour and a half late. Robert then breaks his thumb changing the wheel on the van on the way to the airport.

The Cure live in Paris, France - 1992-10-21 Audio Download

The Wish Tour live in Paris
Night 3, October 21st 1992
The Wish Tour, Night 3 in Paris France, at the Zenith to download.
The download links are down below all the reminiscing and pictures



Good setlist including The Big Hand and Forever. These were legendary shows. 
The Wish tour had improved by the time that it hit Europe, but the paris shows,
 while living in the showdow of some other performances (the finale in london and 
a few others) were still something very special. The three were recorded for official 
release by the band somewhat as a darker accompaniment to "show" So alot of great songs 
got their full glory over the three night @ the Zenith. Including a superb version of Faith 
on the night before. This, the third and final night, closed with one of the epic 
1992 versions of a Forest into Forever.

The quality on this recording is EXCELLENT.
You can find the download links closer to the bottom of the page
under the setlist and pictures.

of the photo at the top of the page. I would also like to thank Carl if he's still 
out there for sharing his photos of this show!

Setlist:
