Ah the days of yore … when we could plan a vacation around seeing a band. These days the logistics of having someone to watch D and schedule around work, school, etc. is enough to kill my will to leave the house … much less the country. Long ago we flew to Las Vegas to see The Cure for the Bloodflowers tour performing at The Joint (now defunct) at the Hard Rock Hotel. Back then it was a very small venue and a unique chance to see them in such an intimate setting. It was amazing to see them in a club setting without squinting through a pair of field glasses. Did I mention those days are gone? Still, it didn’t stop from me from fervently wishing we could figure it all out to see The Cure in London for the Reflections tour performing their first three albums in their entirety.
Sure the band is looking their age, dressed in black with over teased hair and eyeliner but let’s face it, we’re looking older too. I’ve grown up with this band and just thinking about hearing their music live is enough to make me hop a plane.
p.s. If you’re a jetsetter, they’re playing shows in NY, London and LA … if the tickets aren’t already sold out!
