The Cure - Freakshow


Today Hultsfred is being tear down to pieces, and at approx 01:00 it was packed up and wrapped into trucks and ready to go on a new festival somewere.

These days has been extreme, a lucky day u might get 4 hrs sleep at most, usually very little or none at worse, BUT I love the intence the jokes the talks after work.

This band, The Cure, had a extremely nice lighting guy.
They came during the night and started to plan up the light.
I was the Night Stage Manager with 8 stagehands from Stagefright, Sweden, The best :D
As help we had 2 lighting, a guy and a girl. They were tired but Damn nice and competent!

This night we begun at 01:00AM and worked until 07:00 It was the coldest night ever.
But my crew was fantastic and the next day when The Cure went up the stage everything was perfect.

Some weird photos...I didnt take photos on the gig, sorry for that.
First is a cool thingie that the Swedish made to the Germans (It was Scorpio that held this festival and they are Germans)  Second photo is a cool very old news paper in a toilet at the area ;D
The third is the venue...quite empty and last trucks with stage things being filled.




Almost forgot the band....The Cure:
From the album Three Imaginary Boys 1979 up to today, The Cure constantly found new ways to stand aside the current perception of what happens to be right now, and instead continually demonstrated that their choices not only been the artistically correct,we are in fact, talking about a band that has sold nearly 30 million albums. That in itself is an equal feat Robert Smith with his literary references, scattered like little sparkling clues in his texts, has been almost three generations of teens to clear their local library shelves on the books of such Camus, Baudelaire, and Cocteau 

Ladys and Gents, This is The Cure!

Cheers, Thetania
