Cure. Hyde Park

Anyone going?
I saw them in LA in 1987(I think) before Bowie later in the year when I lived there. Without doubt two of the best concerts I’ve been to.
I missed the boat when they opened booking but now looking at booking through a consolidator.
Seem to be tickets available at £170 - 500+ which as a one off is fine. However the choices are slightly confusing for my tiny mind, which offers the best value?

On the second night we were at the edge of the stage and were pushed from the centre to to our right. At every break girls were shouting at Simon Gallup and he looked down each time. The next break I shouted his name and when he looked down I made the universal sign for a drink.
He gave me the thumbs up and tried to pass me a plastic glass of cider. I could not reach over the barrier and he gave me a hand up. As I turned to climb back down I was struck by the sheer size of the venue and whilst looking round (for a couple of seconds) realised Robert Smith was looking at me whilst I was sat on the edge of the stage. I waved and he smiled and waved back!
My girlfriend at the time (I was only a teenager) was asked by everyone around her if I knew them and said "yes"! A complete lie but at that point in my life this was the best day ever!

Bowie was, is and will always be my absolute hero. When I lived in LA in the eighties I went out with Ken Scott’s (Hunky Dory etc producer) daughter. I shook every time we kissed. After all, she had sat on David’s knee!
I found out a few years later that my aunt had been the Bowie family PA in the seventies. More so for Angie than David, but even so! Stories of Bolan and Mick that still make me squirm.
How was the Cure gig for those who went? Sadly I couldn’t make it. I envy you. Listening to Peel session from 1980 now. 1978 next.
