Closedown
Thankyou. Um, who’s here tonight that’s been on either of the other 2 nights, anyone? Is that a lot? Simon reckons you’re lying, so something different. There’s a bet that tonight we’ll get some songs we haven’t done on either night but some we did the first night, some we did the second so you think they’re playing the same songs you’re wrong. The first few will be the same, cos we only know about...fifty. This is called Piggy In The Mirror

from Cure News 8
question: what was your best/worst gig on the european stretch of the "prayer tour", and why?
"robert: the best was the last night at wembley because of the atmosphere and playing so many old songs. it was nostalgic.
the worst was reims in france because everyone was sick.
from the 1991 "T.I.B." interview thecure.com
Have you shot videos that you've never shown?
"Not properly. Not with the crew. And we've filmed a lot of concerts from the mixing desk, just like static shots at the stage all the way through. I recorded all three nights at Wembley on Disintegration, and three or four American concerts like that. I don't know why I never watch them! I like the one at Giants Stadium, we've used a bit of that in this video. But generally, they're just one shot, they'd be too boring. Sometimes I just film to see what the lights look like, to see if there could be any improvement on the lighting. So I do it for a critical reason, not really for enjoyment. I really wish that we've made a proper film for the Prayer tour. It would have been brilliant. But we didn't, so... We didn't do it because we're stupid. And no one around us wanted to make a film about this. We never have anyone there that says: "I make a film"...
[note: the question was answered by Robert and ".. we've used a bit of that in this video" means the 'Picture Show' video]
